The Value of Friendship

After feeling a bit out of touch for some time, it feels good to be surrounded by good friends who enjoy the same things you enjoy, hold the same ideas about life and just live and enjoy their lives. Spur of the moment, random acts of whatever is the way in which we were designed to live this life. Good food, drink, plenty of laughter and conversation are the ingredients. Living simply for the first time a long time, while maintaining the "adult responsibility," but just living...I love the sun coming in through the bedroom window, I love sitting on the deck at night and listening to the silence of everything while drinking hot tea. A wise person told me: "Never underestimate the power of doing absolutely nothing."

The future

What I have come to realize as the Presidential elections are ever-approaching and threatening to consume us, is that we, as everyday Americans need to demand a new type of candidate. We need a new type of President to truly lead this country into the 21st century. We need a leader that will absolutely advocate for peace, both domestic and abroad. A leader that will advocate for human rights, both domestic and abroad. A leader that will employ his/her government to protect our Earth, to preserve our environment. The President should ensure that other countries are upholding this. Our President should re-sign the U.S. onto the Kyoto Protocol to limit carbon emissions. Our President should absolutely employ his/her government to provide ALL its citizens with health care. They should help our immigrants become legitimate, recognized members of American society. Critics will call this utopian, outrageous and the product of an outrageously huge government. I call it a necessity, an expected from the government of the most powerful nation on the planet. Our next President should shy themselves away from big business and remember the individual citizens that elected them. This is simply my view of what I want my America to look like.

I have officially entered the world of blogging; to basically take what I normally write in my notebook and transcribe onto paper for all six billion people in this world to read. So, as I join the revolution and open my soul to all, bear witness.
