This is what we have come to

So yes, it has been a while since I last posted, so to the maybe four people that will read this; I beg your forgiveness. Here is a brief snapshot of me today,

I am typing this up in a newly cleaned bedroom, albeit not completely done but after about three days work, consider the surface to be scratched. During this process I have been watching videos on YouTube from the channel Ted Talks. Basically every year there is a meeting of the minds where tons of people gather and share ideas and information. They film these talks and put them up for the world to see. It is truly eye opening and stimulating and free to watch for anyone. There are hundreds of videos on varying topics if you are interested in learning about anything start here: Ted Talks
In the world of employment I am still rockin' a mediocre job of cashiering at the home depot, honestly not the most fulfilling job on the grounds of most capitalist criterion but it does give me the necessary social interaction, also it gives me access to human observation, which I have lately been more interested in.
Since my move to Texas I have been gathering an interest in many things that I kinda knew about but never really "got into." things like Science, Evolution, Nature, Sociology, Biology, Astronomy, Cosmology, and myriad other things in that vein. I have to sit one of my friends here, Sam Fairchild is someone I met shortly after moving to San Angelo that is interested in similar things. We since have formed a symbiotic relationship that, I think, has rocketed our inquisitions and intelligence about the world around us. We have plans to co-write a blog about our evolutionary findings in one particular patch of earth but there will be more on that development later.
All in all I have been getting a better understanding and appreciation for the world and the universe around me, and my place in it all. In all things are quite well in my corner and have come to the realization that I really owe it to the whole of humanity to write about myself and my feelings and findings etc, Since i am pretty sure i know a few secrets about happiness, success, the natural order of things. And it would be down right irresponsible of me not to share these gems of wisdom and understanding with whoever I can so, in short, look forward to more writings that you probably aught to worship for years to come.
