    What is my joy if all hands, even the unclean, can reach into it? What is my wisdom, if even the fools can dictate to me? What is my freedom, if all creatures, even the botched and impotent, are my masters? What is my life, if I am but to bow, to agree and to obey?

    Just made the midnight run to Wendy's... Ok so it was a little early to call it the midnight run, but seems like I have made the run a million times.

    Pretty cool! Meet someone new everyday. So what do you do that you get to meet so many different folks? In my free time, I'm going back to school to pickup another degree: Mechanical Engineering.

    Yea, NASA tends to draw the crazies

    Seriously though, I think I would love to work for NASA. I could also hate it too, I've heard there is too much red tape to get through to get anything done (from an engineering standpoint).
