here i am

'still at New England rural home, jobhunting like mad (and doing farmer-eqsue chores--to cover my room&board--during the day; definitely love outdoor manual labor...within reason). My family here is really into Joss Whedon's Firefly (& Serenity), so I started watching the whole series a week or so ago and just finished it all (including the movie); excellent, especially compared to Battlestar Galactica--which seriously lacks in the humor department. In influential fashion, I've reinstated 'absurdism' to my beliefs.
Also, definitely a strong supporter of the 'Love vs. Fear' view of holistic human existence; all actions done out of Love are the "best", while all actions made out of Fear are the "worst"; then, of course, all actions/thoughts in between are that much better/worse...

Jobwise, not so much. Might have just landed myself a job as a dishwasher at a trendy local café, but not sure if the hours will be enough. I might try one more job around here, then I think I'm gonna throw in the metaphorical towel and head back to my Colorado home, to lay down a (financial) foundation from which to (~safely) adventure forth. I almost landed a job on a nearby farm, which I think would have been excellent; definitely something to keep in mind. Or perhaps I'll do something entrepreneurial (with computers)?
The problem with WWOOF is that it doesn't pay, and I have student loans (come August) that will need payment.

I also hope to make some local friends soon: although SciForums.com keeps me satiated intellectually, I'm getting miserably deficient in the social/love department.

Oh, and I've started the book Life of Pi, which I found in the room I'm staying; it's about a kid and a tiger, in a boat, stranded on the ocean. Yea, so far so good.

note to self: I'm healthier, grounded, when I let my energy flow with gravity.

I think that's enough for now.

P.S. I'm not really keeping up with the links in this blog; I think a lot of them don't work anymore. c'est la vie
