Yipee!  It is Saturday and I don't have to work!  Of course, I had to put in the request specially because it is Derby Night!  It the Championship match and the Sirens had better win!  It would suck it they lost to the Brawlers.  I love the Derby! 

Well, not a lot has been going on the last few days... The most noteworthy thing is that I have been considering making some life changes.  It is most certainly time to start thinking about me and my future.

I have been considering and and begun researching the possiblity of purchasing my 1st home.  I'm not sure if I am ready for the extra responsibility and expense of this. 

I have also been thinking about visiting Oregon.  I hear Portland is beautiful.  I have never been there.  I also hear they have a very green friendly environment there.  I'm all for that. 

And Finally I have been looking into Massage Therapy schools in the area.  It has alway been my intention to become a massage therapist and life alway seems to get in the way. I wish there were grants and loans for this sort of schooling.  It would make going much more accessable.  I have a job to work and bills to pay.  Well I am going to keep researching these things.  Talk to you guys after the Derby!

Before the universe was born
there was something in the chaos of the heavens.
It stands alone and empty,
solitary and unchanging.
It is ever present and secure.
It may be regarded as the Mother of the universe.
Because I do not know it's name,
I call it the Tao.
If forced to give it a name,
I would call it 'Great'.

Because it is Great means it is everywhere.
Being everywhere means it is eternal.
Being eternal means everything returns to it.

Tao is great.
Heaven is great.
Earth is great.
Humanity is great.
Within the universe, these are the four great things.

Humanity follows the earth.
Earth follows Heaven.
Heaven follows the Tao.
The Tao follows only itself.
