This is how I will die -
 | You scored as Disappear. Your death will be by disappearing, probably a camping trip gone wrong or an evening hike you never returned from. Always remeber that one guy who was hiking alone and got in a rock slide. He could have died, but he cut his own hand off to save himself. Don't end up like him (or worse, dead).
Disappear | | 87% | Eaten | | 67% | Suicide | | 67% | Posion | | 60% | Bomb | | 60% | Gunshot | | 60% | Natural Causes | | 60% | Disease | | 53% | Stabbed | | 47% | Cut Throat | | 40% | Accident | | 33% | Drowning | | 33% | Suffocated | | 7% |

Bruce Gisi
Some of you may have a recent comment by Bruce Gisi (he commented to one of my more recent entries). Of those of you who did see that, you may have thought to yourself, "I wonder what he's doing now." Let me quench your mental thirst. Bruce Gisi is a law clerk for the Chief Justice of the First Court of Appeals of Texas. He passed the Texas bar and for those of you who are interested in his qualifications, you should take a look at his impressive resume. A guy could be jealous of his intellect and accomplishments.

I'm okay with that...
 | You scored as Goofy. Your alter ego is Goofy! You are fun and great to be around, and you are always willing to help others. You arn't worried about embarrassing yourself, so you are one who is more willing to try new things.
Goofy | | 69% | Donald Duck | | 56% | Cinderella | | 56% | Peter Pan | | 50% | Snow White | | 44% | The Beast | | 44% | Ariel | | 38% | Pinocchio | | 31% | Cruella De Ville | | 31% | Sleeping Beauty | | 25% |

Just in case you didn't know
I'm headed back to SD and will be living in SF for a while. This is a temporary gig so I'm not even bringing everything home with me. Should be interesting because I'm going to get a chance to meet many of the interest groups that are related to the issues with which I work. It'll be nice to drive my car again and to be able to get from point A to point B with such ease and lack of planning. If I lived in a more convenient location out here I'd be able to be more spontaneous, but as it is, I have a long walk everytime I want to go somewhere, accompanied by a long metro ride that only operates to a certain hour of the evening. I like it and I hate it. I'm sure the trip home will make me appreciate everything out here. I've decided that a constant change is perhaps where I am most happy...at least at this point in my life. All I need is assurance that I will have all the essentials.
I have this spiffy new laptop from the office. The only problem I have with it right now is the extreme tininess of the font and the lack of another good option. I need something between this size and the next size larger. Oh well, beggers can't be chosers. Perhaps I will get a pair of reading glasses for using this computer.
I land on Tuesday, home for Thanksgiving, and back to SF on Sunday. Same digits as always.

In his life
When he walked through the door the lights were all off. The door that closed behind him echoed in an eerie way. Every movement he made was full of noise - the bag hitting the floor, the coat being hung on the rack, the shuffling of the mail…his footsteps on the hardwood floor. The refrigerator clicked on and when that sound filled the room he felt that perhaps it was too quiet.
His mind was racing with nearly incomprehensible thoughts - thoughts about family, work, money, health, God, traveling, friends, sex, alcohol, sleep...life, death.
He spent the entire day at his job, going through the motions of someone who cares, someone on top of everything, someone normal. Now he's home and he's looking for something to take over his mind. He contemplates eating but literally everything sounds horrible...so he grabs a glass of water.
In the basement is a computer and he heads down to check his email...it's been almost 40 minutes, perhaps something new has arrived...
Absentmindedly he looks at his phone...five missed calls. He heads upstairs and changes into something more comfortable. He failed to work late enough to justify going to sleep; so he lies on his bed and enters the dangerous world of thought.
Hurt, betrayal, anger, fear, stubbornness, hope, happiness and back again. Now it's 4:00 in the morning. The walls feel closer, the room much darker and he contemplates leaving but he has no where to go. He turns the lamp off, lays his head on the pillow and watches the time pointlessly turn the future into the present and the present into the past.
In his life, something has to change...
