i’m looking forward to it for a couple of different reasons.

for starters, i believe i have a meeting with someone for whom i have a great deal of respect. she is one of two people to whom i most attribute whatever success i’ve had in politics and in the party since i started, approaching three years ago. the meeting its is exciting because it will hopefully give me the opportunity to meet new people and begin building a coalition around progressive ideas and goals. she also mentioned having me do some ‘speaking’ (i’m assuming to groups of people) regarding the question of the hawaii state constitutional convention, which will be put to a vote this november….

taking pictures
studying
practicing guitar
cleaning
sleeping
writing

sure, there may be more, but instead here i sit. in the dark. smoking. drinking. writing this silly, pointless post.

such is life.

many people i know spent the labor day holiday weekend sunbathing on a beach, enjoying the company of friends and family, and the like. i basically spent the weekend studying.

roughly six hours on saturday.
almost seven hours on sunday.
nearly four hours today, a holiday on which i didn’t have to work….

…ok, not really. but something odd has happened that gives me a fresh realization about life, my life in particular.

when i think about my life now, with all its challenges, frustrations and difficulties, i can’t help but think about how my response is so much different than it would have been just a few short years ago.

or are all women crazy?

don’t get me wrong, some of my closest friends are women, but they’re still some level of crazy….

then again… i’m not completely of sound mind myself….
