Wall 89: May
What luck that a Friday opens a new month that has also been adopted as a woman’s name? Okay fine, I was being slightly lazy today.
Let’s clear something up. It is true when they say that one man’s garbage is another man’s gold. Take this as an example, and bonus points for insight to the power of stubbornness of groupthink: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123690627522614525.html
May wouldn’t like it if I finished on such a negative note. So let’s use my stock portfolio as a barometer of financial recovery. My stocks have finally broke even from losses suffered over the recession. Past performance points to continued success. That’s what they teach you in school, right? Actually, today in school my professor finally got lazy and made us do group work: long the hallmark of a professor that would rather the students teach each other than empart his Ph. D level of knowledge on paying customers.
So, my classmates taught us that Thomas Aquinas was an atheist, and that rocks have free will.
Dogs can strive, through moral choice, to rise on the Great Chain of Being. Lassie was not trained to save Timmy from the well.
Liberal Arts would be nice if taught 1v1. I know why so many people feel the urge to drop out or never climb in the first place.
Wait, where’d that upbeat endnote go?

My 55 word story. *shrugs*
Voices, and distraction. Never pausing. He would drown out the ambient noise with a new sort of listening. The laughter faded away. The singing. The smiles. He felt good for the first time. Only a few more pesky noises. A beating rythym. It was all gone now. How long would the battery last?

Earlier I said all you have to do is ask if you want something. A prerequisite condition of that is knowing what you want. No one will tell you that critical piece of direction.
No. Wait.
Each and every one of us is constantly bombarded with heresy, with propaganda, with suggestions. Decisions are simpler when someone else makes them for you. Nuggets of wisdom everywhere!
Shoulder some responsibility. Everyone has needs, forget about them. Determine what you want, reach out, and take it today.
