May have missed this one...

per_soloThe whole "Movie trailers remixed" thing is either hit or miss for me.
However, I laughed at this one and enjoyed it...hmmm...
Other than that? Weirdness of weirdness, I e-mailed a local Senator, with questions regarding education and tourism in the United States..basically, I assumed that I had to at least try an avenue I hadn't considered, and might be able to get answers, but my faith is not that high in government, so I didn't expect much.
Well, I now should be having someone contact me to set up a meeting to discuss my questions and ideas. Already had someone contact me, very politely, and state that the Senator couldn't meet with me (with his regrets), but that she was willing to meet with me, but unfortunately, I'm not in DC. :-) After e-mailing her back after finals, I received a message that someone local will be contacting me.
My initial comment was that it seemed a very nice letter..until it was pointed out to me that they were actually willing to MEET with me, and government just doesn't do that.
I'm glad I own a suit now. And think this could be very interesting.
TOO few times, I actually act on some of my thoughts, the ones that are outside the lines a little, just because of the many times I've tried and failed on varied avenues. I put off the illusion of having things together a little more, but I'm still scared a good part. Then again, credit where its due, I do have a lot more together now than in previous times.
I just try not to let that fear overpower me nowadays. I guess, somewhere in my fear and terror time, I realized that the absolute WORST that can happen is that I fall down.
Chumbawumba said it best.
So yes, I'll take some risks, and other times won't. I'll fall, I'll scrape my knees, and I'll cower in fear sometimes. I think that knowing that helps a little. Some days, I feel like Serendipity, from "Dogma", in that I'll have ALL sorts of ideas, and different ways of looking at things, zooming in my mind. And so few actually stay. That's another bit I'm working on sorting in how my brain stores information.
But, the overall is that though I spend a fair bit of time being somewhat scared, or feeling mostly boring, I'll still have to try to make things better, in my life..and in the lives of those I know. Very much a "NO one deserves the pain that we all go through", which is part why the Callahan's books are such a part of my library.
I'm rambling. :-) Will post more as this develops, but I'm very curious on possibilities and probabilities now.

Date: 2008-05-07 08:38 pm (UTC)I only know two things about Chumbawumba -- they fall down, but they get up again, and the lead singer dumped a bucket of water over Tony Blair's head. I really ought to check 'em out sometime :).

Date: 2008-05-07 08:55 pm (UTC)*heh* Yup, and a LOT of people I know pick up when they fall. Some days, it's harder for some of us than others, but everyone manages to scrape by and survive. :-)
