Godxinxaxpill: earth first maybe
PMcHenry: I can see you doing that
Godxinxaxpill: i dont know what else to do. ive felt like atlas for as long as i can remember. ive got to do something other than collect material objects and get ahead in the workplace.
PMcHenry: so what will you be doing for the sierra club?
Godxinxaxpill: tele-fundraising, calling members to discuss the work the sierra club is doing, the current petroleum paridigm were stuck in, hook line and sinker them into donating.
PMcHenry: I think you would be good at that
Godxinxaxpill: im hoping so. my talents are wasted selling books
Godxinxaxpill: have you ever worked in retail?
PMcHenry: briefly
Godxinxaxpill: can you describe it in one sentence or less?
PMcHenry: LOL...let me see

Godxinxaxpill: i need open space
Godxinxaxpill: and giant god damn trees
Godxinxaxpill: i NEED to be near them
PMcHenry: in that case, make sure you have money for bridge tolls :-)
Godxinxaxpill: i never appreciated nature when i was in hs
Godxinxaxpill: i hated the ocean, had no interest in camping/outdoorsy stuff, and could hardly relate to passionate enviornmentalists. i mean, i agreed that it should be protected and all but i always believed that human beings were superior to all other life forms
Godxinxaxpill: and that our needs came first
PMcHenry: interesting, I didn't see you that way
PMcHenry: I think you have an insight many lack
Godxinxaxpill: my 3rd grade teacher told me she expected to read my name in the paper one day
Godxinxaxpill: thank you for noticing
PMcHenry: it still remains to be seen how you will make your mark
PMcHenry: in 5 years I can picture you anywhere
PMcHenry: from a lobbyist in Sacramento to naked on a commune
Godxinxaxpill: bwhahahah
Godxinxaxpill: if i was in sacremento itd be to dump bags of sawdust on the govenors dest
Godxinxaxpill: then ide get naked
PMcHenry: LOL
Godxinxaxpill: going to school for 13 years fucked me up
Godxinxaxpill: the process of domesticating a wild human into an interchangable worker is very painful
PMcHenry: and with that I'm off to bed
Godxinxaxpill: hahaha
PMcHenry: you take care of yourself, Der
PMcHenry: and make sure I hear from you
Godxinxaxpill: i do. you take it easy on them kids of yours
PMcHenry: I'm always curious what happens to the bright ones
Godxinxaxpill: remember: as long as you teach in a classroom your a cop with an administrator above your head.
PMcHenry: LOL
PMcHenry: I'll remember that
PMcHenry: perhaps you'll see me naked with you on the commune
Godxinxaxpill: fig leaf or no fig leaf?
PMcHenry: either way
PMcHenry: I've got nothing I'm ashamed of
Godxinxaxpill: haha
