Been awhile

A fair amount has changed since my last post in November of '07. For instance, I left the Peace Corps early due to what the Ukrainian doctors called "epilepsy due to sleep deprivation".

Actually that entire situation was astoundingly bad. Simply because they couldn't find the reason for my body spasms that were due to lack of sleep they saw it as a neurological problem. Which didn't make sense since they tested me and I was fine.

Following that adventure I came home, discovered my dad had prostate cancer, and decided to stick around instead of going back. Yay family.

What else...

Worked for a political campaign...hated it.

Joined the Army...got hurt and sent home.

Joined the AmeriCorps. So that's probably what I'll post about now. I mean it is what I'm doing and it's aimed at helping people.

Oh why I came back to this blog. I was misinterpreted by an individual in their doctorate thesis as bringing a negative light to idealism.

I could say many things to this. Most of them insults at the individual. But that won't help.

Truth is I don't care. The entire process was a learning one. I gained a lot of knowledge about many things. I did it for the right reasons. To help. Write it off as being negative if you wish. At least I'll be honest about it.
