Blog Times

I've just noticed that all my times are off on my blog posts. For instance, the State of the Union post was really written at about 10:30pm, but it says 7pm or something. So ignore that. Not that your life is shattered now because of it. Anyway...
Well I don't feel like going on and on about anything right now, but I have to say that I am in an upheaval. I mean, I am being shaken to my foundations in all kinds of ways. I hope and pray that we all experience this kind of upheaval several times throughout our lives. It is confusing, challenging, disturbing, exciting, scary, but I'll be "gosh-darned" if I don't feel so alive right now. Alive and challenging the system. Of everything. The system of my thought-process, my self-indulgence, my religion, my everything! Man, I'm alive. Of course, someone about an hour ago told me, "Hey you look tired!" So apparently I don't LOOK so alive. But that is probably for two reasons. 1) i have small "slits" for eyes. kids use to ask if I was part chinese when I was in middle school. what? and 2) most of these conflicts are very, very internal. trust me, I am very alive on the inside.
I challenge all my legions of blog-fans to question. Question your life. Begin in 10 minutes. What are you doing? Why are you doing it? Are you living your life JUST for you? What are you contributing to making the world a little better? What are you contributing to make it a little worse? At the end of the day, will the fabric of the universe desribe you using the word "love" or "indifference"?
I have a quote from a book I am reading that I thought was interesting:
"When I FED the hungry, they call me a saint. When I ask WHY people are hungry,
they call me a communist." - Dom Helder Camara
