This has been a goal of mine since forever… It’s one of those goals that need the kind of commitment that i just dont have. Well I am riding to work tommorrow morning, 35km trip, so hopefully i will keep this up, and it will be warm enough to jump in the pool in a couple of weeks, I just need to psych myself up to start running again (it has been about 9months) and then who knows….

This is something that i feel very strong about – but I don’t think I do anything to support my views. It is easy to criticise others who dont do anything to help other people, but what is it that i do?
I cant put my finger on exactly what it is that stops me, I am still studying so I dont have a lot of cash to donate (I have doubts on how much of donated money actually benefits those who need it – but that is a whole other issue). For me, donating my time seems to be the most beneficial. But where do I go? who do i contact?
This is something that i am going to give some serious thought over the next few days – I really am going to do something (just have to figure out what that something is first)
underground_famous – Here in australia i cant say that i have seen too much press on Americans who dont support Bush, there is the odd group protesting who are usually portrayed as radicals. So that is nice to hear that there is a chance he wont be voted back in, whenever your next election is.
One thing that I like about Bush is that he can make people who wouldnt normally be openly opinionated, take a stand. That is where my admiration for the man stops. But it is good to see whether you love or loathe the man, most people are willing to discuss it and not sit on the fence. I could bable on about him, his father, and that war all day – but i wont – at least not today.
