july twenty seventh

Well, there have been some new developments. I now know that I will be teaching primary school children in the town of Blois in France. The name of the school is EEPU Foch.

I wonder if it is allowed or advisable to swim in the Loire.

So, I have been living at home for the last six plus months saving up cash, not paying rent. I haven't been playing music or the drums since I have figured out that my tinnitus really does bother me alot. How would you deal with a constant oscillator sounding noise in your head that you can't ever turn off, realizing that you will probably never experience the sensation of 'quiet' ever again until you die.


I practice Buddhism. I sit zazen. Right now I am part of the Dae Do Sah group in Rockville and Adams Morgan.

So anyways, I leave for France on the sixteenth of September to look for a place to live. I start work on October 2nd. I am looking forward to this and think it may give me some feeling of accomplishment to teach children and live outside of the United States.

Second post...July 3rd

It's been a while here. I'm still day dreaming about France. The Brazilians have now been defeated and there are only two more games between les bleus and the cup. I'm here at work at Northop Grumman. Keeping everyone safe. I get to leave like an hour early because of the holiday. I don't have too much to report, but I didn't want to let the ball stop rolling here. It may be slow now but I'll keep this blog going yet. I don't want to let my readers think that I am too spacy or anything so I won't start doing free associations.
I have to stop on my way home to get a car battery b/c my car wouldn't turn over this morning. I have the day off tommorow, like everyone else in the U.S. And then next week my big extended family is going on family reunion' 06 at the Outer Banks in N.C. Reminder of which I have to ask for my Bro to bring my speakers, and camping gear from Chicago.
okay , that's it for now. I'm exhausted.
