It takes a thought to make a word...

It takes some words to make an action
It takes some work to make it work
It takes some good to make it hurt
It takes some bad for satisfaction

Yes We Can

Life is wonderful...

Thinkin about mixin those two for the spring reception. We'll see what I come up with. Inspired by MrazObama... gettin chills jus thinkin about it.

I got an internship with the Portland sector of the Office of Sustainability for this summer. It'll pay damn well, so I'm pretty stoked about that, but it'll also be an awesome opportunity to do somethin I'm not really familiar with: a) having a job and b) sustainability issues. Maybe I can really focus on Environmental Racism this summer and have that be the affiliated project I work on. Could be interesting. I'll let you all know more about the internship as I get more information.

But... that means I'll be in Portland this summer!

New list: Important things in my life...
1. Friends
2. Family (and this includes all my families...)
3. Social justice and social equity
4. My fish "Stick"

New track: *on feeling empowered*
Do you ever get that feeling? When you're motivated to do something because it means so much to you and you know that if you don't, you'll regret not doing it. I love that feeling. Especially when it's for the big things... fighting institutions. But even more so for the little things... stickin up for someone who doesn't have a voice. It all goes back to creating positive change. And having the passion to create it.
I hope I'm not all talk and no play. All words and no actions. But, instead, I'm work to make it work. To get to satisfaction. Because, yeah... sure, we can ;)
