Well the blog is one year old. Fantastic.
I'd like to thank everyone with the good sense not to read this page.

It's been pointed out to me in the past that posting the runny dregs of my psyche onto the internet was more than a little unwise. In fact, the author was assured, shit like this will keep me from any sort of elected office/position of moral authority.

Shame.

A friend of mine was telling me today how he and his wife are planning on moving to the wilds of Ontario somewhere north of Toronto to join a farm for the mentally handicapped. For twelve months they'll be off the grid, living on a farm, making crafts, farming, logging, and helping the mentally challenged day-to-day.

We're all impressed. Adventurous, Noble, etc.

Inevitably it made me think that it would be nice to drop out for a while... No longer sully myself with timesheets and the filthy lucre. Though, of course, I envision a slightly different adventure for myself. A rally-car racing academy in France for instance... Racing hard by day, drinking the local red by night..

Unfortunately though, the man has me by the balls. Firmly.

Grad school = bad idea.

Fiscally speaking.
