Alright. I saw on the news today that red wine was good for you...again. Red wine rocks. I imediately cracked open a bottle after getting home from work.
Antioxidants, reduced heart disease...now this thing where rats live longer regardless of what we feed them...The way I see it, it's either go jogging or drink some red wine.
Pass the Sangiovese thank you very much.
I write grants as a partial living. It's crazy. It's so much more relaxing blogging on xomba half lit on YellowTail than it is trying to write something within the context of a set of rules someone else is imposing on you.
Writing is cool. But writing grants isn't really writing. It's much too limited.
Yes. You take some liberty to "embellish" certain parts to help make your case. But even that is held in check because if you were to be awarded the grant - you better be ready to back up what you wrote.
I'll apologize now for any gramatical and especially, spelling errors. It is a fact that I'm tuned right now.
So does anyone else on Xomba live in ND?
Who exactly am I talking to?
If you ARE from ND...vote "yes" for measure 3 Nov. 7th.
If you're not, here's some advise.
Whatever you are doing right now for a living - you should start searching for a new job doing the same thing, but for a non-profit agency.
Non-profits do exactly the same things as "normal" corporations...w/out the "evilness".
Example: If you are an electrician working to wire up new buildings like...WalMarts...Why not do the same "work", but for a non-profit who's mission it is to build affordable housing for people with disabilities? Something like that.
You can make similar money, similar benefits but w/out the guilt.
If you don't feel the guilt, that will be fodder for the next blog.
Conan O'brian is funny. Go see Borat - some great social commentary. Vote yes for measure 3 and drink red wine.
And when you get a chance, turn the station in your car to Prairie Public Radio. You'll be a better person for it.

Late,
