Going to Seattle, etc.

Jun 30, 2009 01:24

Well, I'm going to Seattle tomorrow and will be there until the 7th (unless something changes).  It seems like my grandmother is going to die.  Sucks.  I don't know what to say, it's just what happens, everyone gets old and dies.  I wonder what will happen to my grandpa now, in a way I'm more concerned for him.  I don't even know what to say, ultimately everyone faces death and is whatever's left (or whatever you believe is left) goes where it goes - the body going to the grave and ultimately returning to earth from whence we all came (indirectly), all that jazz.  I'm not religious so I can't say "they've gone on to a better place" like I think there is some sort of heaven.  I wouldn't say I'm a strict materialist but I would say that if there is anything other than the material aspect we know nothing definitive of it.

Anyways, that's pretty much it.  I am basically wasting time lately - I'm unemployed, I moved back home to Florida, I don't have a car and haven't been up to much of anything.  I sometimes wonder if there is a soul, and if I've lost it - in the sense of maybe having passions and a strong will to live life to the fullest.  I guess lately I haven't been depressed in the sense of despondent or sad or whatever, but I can't seem to gather up much enthusiasm for doing anything.  I have been thinking of applying for English teaching jobs in Japan but have not been making much headway on writing up the documents.  I have a sort of resume but it's not quite finished, and I've have about 3 half written attempts at cover letters on my computer.  At least I'm maintaining my level of fitness somewhat, but other than that I am in a rut.  Such is life.
