| Introduction | I am determined to leave the world significantly better than I found it when I popped out of Mama. I'm really running behind right now but definitely haven't abandoned this goal. I work with young people and after several years of doing what is best described as purely missionary work (teaching), I seem to have now accidentally taken a job as a minion of the devil (Exxonmobil). I don't work for them directly but occasionally have to suck up to them and their fellow multinational screw-yous, something I didn't know was involved in this job before I took it. Anyway, my employer (not Exxonmobil) is paying for me to go to school and, if you aren't teaching, you really should be learning. I'm hoping to start working on my PhD sometime in the near future if the world doesn't go to complete shit before I get there. I do spend time trying to keep it from getting there. I speak English...oh, and Chinese. My friends are not ordinary people. That's part of why I love them. |

When you spilled the milk, did it look like the moon?
Well, they say, "don't cry over spilled milk" but when I 'spill milk', it looks like the whole sky is falling.
