[Blindtlk] Happy Holidays NFB Family was my 2 cents

[Peter Wolfe]

    I'm completely mistaken on what my aspirations are on all things
just cause I'm a realist not an idealist like lots or perhaps the
majority on list. I've done stuff on here that none of you would even
attempt to try like being in a car and driving it drunk for example.
Was that smart no but something that I did thatt guarnteed that none
of you have done. I have done lots of crazy things that none of you
would even get close to in a million years so am not feeling bad for
myself not all of the time. Actually I have goals of going abroad in a
years time to Canada and perhaps to England not that long afterwards.


    I'd like to point out that I've been overseas, lived in fifty or
more cities, and used all forms of transportation except submarine
travel that includes inner city rail as well for all those who know
the original fear of feeling like a piece of bologna between two
movign fast objects. I'd also like to say that I've created a charity
that still exists for disinfranchized individuals called the "Angry
American Pig" that same piggy bank is still at the location where the
charity started. Thirdly, I am in the process of looking for
employment so if anyone wwants to help me just e-mail me with any
ideas for entry level jobs with the fed for a liberal arts graduate.


Thanks,
Peter
