This is a quote I just read today:

"Every action of our lives touches on some chord that will vibrate in eternity"

-- Edwin Hubbel Chapin

Uh�how scary is THAT? However, probably true�although I doubt my sleeping in on Sunday mornings will �vibrate in eternity��it may vibrate in the flabbiness of my body due to laziness, but that�s probably about it. I mean, I doubt God or anyone on this planet will care much�although, realistically, were I waking up early and for example helping to feed the homeless, that would by far be more meaningful and would �vibrate in eternity� so I guess in that sense this man is correct.

Uh�how scary is THAT?

You know, I was supposed to volunteer for the homeless shelter in Long Beach�well, my initial plan was to apply to volunteer at the Aquarium and if I was not approved, to volunteer at the homeless shelter. Didn�t I write once about how f�n lazy I am? Because am I volunteering ANYWHERE at this point? Nope.

I did see where our local Red Cross chapter is and am thinking about talking with them about volunteering. I�d still really like to do the Aquarium and just need to turn in my application. There�s just a letter I need to write to go with it.

The truth is that I don�t want to give up my weekends, which I�d be doing if I worked at the Aquarium. Even though it would be fun�maybe at the Red Cross or the homeless shelter I can just work at nights, after work.

I dunno. But I DO know that I need to get my act together and do this. I am serving absolutely no useful purpose as I am leading my life right now. Oh yeah, OK, my family loves me and all that, but am I really of any use to anyone, anywhere?

Uh�this is rapidly becoming a depressing entry and since I finally feel well physically and therefore am in a good mood today, I am going to change the topic
