A deaf-mute man came to my house today selling his works. I bought two beautiful paintings of Japanese scenery. I’m still thinking about buying more for my family.

How I did it: Took a BRC class thro the state and got my card then just finished up with the written test. When I got to Japan they didn't acknowledge the BRC I'de already taken so I went ahead and took the ARC with them. Read how I did it…
This last weekend I completed the motorcycle saftey class and after sucessfully passing the MO state permit test, I am now the proud owner of a motorcycle endorsed drivers liscense… now (in 2 weeks when i get back to japan) comes the scary part of actually buying a bike and riding it on the road for the first time…
So today I clicked on some MP3s while I was getting ready to save the world and the first song on the list was 2Pac – Changes. I was really listening to the lyrics (as I usually do) and I heard his remark that there is a war on drugs but not on poverty. He raises a good point. I’ve been homeless before and I’ve see people that were stuck homeless and couldn’t/wouldn’t get out of it. I’m not a big supporter of helping the poor unless they are trying to help themselves. However! I know that 1/6th of the world’s population is currently living on less than $1 US a day (60% of which goes to food). Being hungry is the worst feeling in the world and I couldn’t even being to understand these people’s suffering. I want to protest the war on terrorism, and protest the war on drugs, and the war on EVERYTHING that frivolously wastes money that could be used to help stop millions upon millions of people’s suffering.
