Again with the log.

I've never quite understood the principle of the blog, as quite frankly as a free will advocate I am also a privacy advocate, and as such, publicly writing about ones life is counter-intuitive.
However I am aware that my life is extraordinary, where I've gone, what I do and what I've done, are not the sorts of things an average 21st century human does.
Why I do what I do is fairly simple, I figure that life is the only opportunity to engage the universe that one has, and therefore one should do something interesting and useful. Unfortunately there are barriers to living a productive life, mainly the other 6 billion people on the planet trying to do what ever it is they are trying to do.
This is of course all about change and resistance to it. People don't like change, but change is inevitable, and so it is fought, often tooth and nail. The unfortunate truth is that the new state (post change) will probably be better than the current state, but people would rather “The Devil they know”.
The past many people long for is an illusion, faded in memory, altered by time, so the past as you remember it probably never was.
Which is fine, all reality is relative, to a great degree. Of course convincing others that reality should be other than it is is damned near impossible, and agreeing on what it should be....that's just laughable!
As for my self I am finishing moving from Florida to West Virginia, and working on my Teaching Certificate. I have had enough of trying to change the world and getting kicked in the teeth for it.
