THAT'S WHAT FRIENDS ARE FOR

Had a solid few days,. Tonight was a Meet the manager night for the campaign and we had a pretty solid turn out. I fetl good about the event and really it is strating to feel like a campaign again. It's a little scary to be in charge of thigns, I am not used to resonsiblity at all, it's a real pivilege but also a bit worrisome.

Last night I had a great dinner with Jordan. I have said it before and must say it again. I am very happy for him and really thankful that his new found faith has helped me recoonect with my own. Beyond that Jordan has always been a great friend, but I am really happythat we have grown even clsoer, and thankful for that as well.

ack, had no time to eat today, that's annoying.

LET THE SUNSHINE IN.

Another double meaning there. So, this is a first, it's been nearly a week that my sight has been constantly horrific, no breaks in it at all, and yet, last night, without me having done anything different, it seems like G-d has given it back to me. I am confused and very happy obviously, but it is really emotionally draining to have it not work for such a long period and then work again, .

The sun is definitely shining on my life at the moment, from me kind of winning the battle with my eyes, to good things happening with work, to me having a few women in my life who make me very happy, to being able to spend quality time with several friends recently. I feel really good about life and possibility for the first time in a very long time. It's exciting, beautiful and scary, on some level I am waiting for the other shoe to drop, , though if I can't find an apartment soon I'll have a bit of a problem.

Powell says he won't return for another term, I think that speaks volumes about how Hawkish the White House, rummy, Cheney and Bush, have become. I also think it's interesting to note that Powell is the ONLY one of them that has commanded troops and understand the real cost of war, easy to sentence troops and innocents to death when you've never had to actually see the results of your work.

Dean is in the lead according to several polls, that scares me, I mean, look, anyone is better than Bush, but I think he's so irresponsible to be so liberal on social issues but not provide the money to do those programs under the guise of "fiscal responsibility". He's going to take out Kerry and that's bad for the Democratic party, I mean if he is the nominee I'll vote for him of course, but I think it's mostly a show of smoke and mirrors.

Looking forward to the next few weeks, a couple of interviews for after the campaign this week, and next weekend Greg's wedding, Russ and Zirk will be in town for that too, which is very cool, I wonder if Brad is coming.

WORKING HARD FOR THE MONEY

A few very bizarre days recently. Work is ok, though we need to raise some fundage or zimmy won't be getting paid, not to mention the fact that we won't be able to pay for the office either. It's all still kind of getting off the ground, John's supporters are a good, if very eclectic group.

Wednesday I went to a public hearing on the Carson petition in Cambridge with John, what that is is actually really unimportant. It did however bring up the issue of how one should conduct negotiations and political debate. There is a certain University which uses certain Crimson colors that owns a lot of property in Cambridge, they want to change zoning laws to allow them build a dorm, not surprisingly the people in the he neighborhood, who have already seen dorm after dorm go up, don't want this. The council has decided rather actually state their opinions and talk with both parties in a public setting they would be better off to negotiate behind closed doors and not actually act on the afore mentioned petition, doesn't sound like good governance to me.

We said goodbye to Matt Wednesday night, he'll be very happy and successful at Miami, enjoy it bro.

Found two young professional females to live with come September, right now trying to iron out issues with quasi-corrupt landlords and the stoner moving into my room.

Been very good about the diet all week, I am uber proud of myself.

Two dates in the near future, one tomorrow night at a Todd English resteraunt, with a really cool girl, even if a bit young,. The latter date will be occurring sometime soon with a girl who I met on the he T, Maureen actually initiated the convo avec moi, is damn cute, is a fellow Mainer. I felt a bit odd though, she and I clearly enjoyed talking but I got off the T before I could get her number, she had told me where she worked, so I called the next day and apologized but she gave me her cell number and we are going to have a picnic on the common next week :)

Accepting the transplant rejection is proving emotionally rather hard, but hopefully this means I can get off the pills, and hence drink again. Don't ask if I am going to have another one, it's so hard physically and emotionally everytime, I need to think about what I want to do, right now, when I lay in bed at night and can't read my clock anymore, I just cry.
