I hope you are doing well. I wish the economy was better or at least I had a job so that I can come up and visit. I won't know for a couple of months if Thailand will pan out.
The infinite scream echos on and on...
" I was walking along a path with two friends_the sun was setting_suddenly the sky turned blood red_I paused, feeling exhausted, and leaned on the fence_there was blood and tongues of fire above the blue-black fjord and the city_my friends walked on, and I stood there trembling with anxiety_and I sensed an infinite scream passing through nature.

Okay so I shouldn't have had Smarties but I did and the Smarties box told me this:
When you smile, your brain releases endorphins that make you feel happier.
That's it

It's not all black and white is it? But I find the gray area so damn scary...

That was too deep for me to understand...I think it might be lack of sleep. 
Yeah, no jobbie job yet...not even looking. I'm trying to get things in order in my apartment and getting myself into shape. So far, I've just been sleeping and going out, but I'm going to start tomorrow. I'm trying to lose at least 40 lbs. *sigh*
I hope you are doing well and I really want to get up there to visit again...
