What's A Varghese
This article made me chuckle like a fortune cookie makes you wonder.

Lundi
sometimes pride hurts.
you get to a point where you could put up a wall.
but you look around and realize it's not worth it to play games.
too much invested to not say it straight and open yourself to examination.
but it's better than furthering the silence.

History 297D
I was just up in Northampton, MA a few weeks ago to see my friend's band, NBFB, open for one of the few bands that get me dancing, the New Deal. It was funny to be the older kids at the show as I honestly felt taller than everyone else. It's not that I was better than the young-uns, it was just that I felt old.
In related news UMASS just announced they have a class on the Greatful Dead: History 297D -How Does the Song Go? The Grateful Dead as a Window into American Culture. Good ol ZooMass, keeping the dream alive. I can't wait till there's a college class on my exploits: Theology 36C- Do You Know Who I Used To Be?

Wet. Lather. Rinse. Repeat.
Learn to walk. Learn to talk. Go to elementary school. Graduate. Go to high school. Graduate. Go to college. Graduate. Get a job. Go back to school. Graduate. Go back to work. Get married somewhere in between. Have kids. Watch them graduate as you move towards graduating to the afterlife. This seems to be the prevalent pattern in the land of the free. Granted things are always changing, most parents would love if their kid followed some semblance of the aforementioned path.
According to the Encyclopedia Britanica Life Map, grad school is my next step. I've tried to steel myself into only going back to do something that not only interests me but is also viable....what a mindfuck......only the extremely lucky and rare assholes actually jump out of bed to a million dollar job of getting head all day or something similarly awesome. The rest of us just wanna be comfortable. Though one may find comfort in a car while another finds comfort in hiking. Whatever IT is, IT probably takes money to get or at least enjoy while your rent, electricity, and gas bills are paid.
So here lies my conundrum. Business or Psychology. Psychology is something I have been attuned to for most of my life. Business is something I have a knack for and it is obviously financially rewarding. Both can be lucrative so I am going to my second line of criteria which is gauged impact upon the world. I don't entertain any notions of becoming a Peace Corp worker but I do think I can legitimately affect things. The question is do I take the high road and attempt some trickle down economics through a MBA or do I fight the good fight in the trenches with a Psychology degree.
What strikes me is how pervasive business is in this country. Most major decisions these days are backed by lobbyists and such. For example: the biggest reason why we are about to get fucked with a terrorist bomb in our ass is because of oil. We bitch when gas goes to $3.30/gallon when people in Europe pay $6/liter. Now everyone and their mother is singing about alternative fuels. The kicker is that we had electric cars 100 YEARS AGO!!!!!!! You're telling me that a fuckin century has gone by and gas companies had nothing to do with supressing the technology. It is frustrating and makes me want to be idealistic and work the system from the inside out.
The flipside of that coin is doing Counseling Psych where I could work is in schools and hosptials as well as have my own private practice. This appeals to me because it is a mindset that comes naturally. I enjoy it and the bottom line would not be a company's profit margins but rather someone's well being.
I need more sleep.
