Drops in a Puddle

December 28, 2012 Entry

Were you miraculously granted complete power to change for the better one aspect of any person or thing in the world, what would you change and why?

I know this may be way too broad, but if I could change one aspect of the world for the better, it would be to cut out all of the world's unemployment. Every day, I see people who have had the same occupation for years being laid off. I'm from West Virginia, and the coal industry, which was booming only a few years ago, is now virtually gone. Hundreds of jobs are gone along with it. And I'm currently in law school in Dayton, OH. Jobs are being lost continuously. Unemployment is becoming a daily thing there as well.

If we could get rid of the unemployment, we could also lower the crime rate, lower the poverty rate, increase the overall morale of the citizens. Those who have jobs are in fear of losing them. If by some miracle a person's job is secure, they likely have at least a few family members who are recently unemployed. Unemployment affects almost everyone.

On a totally different note, I have written and reviewed A LOT this week. I'm really enjoying my Christmas break from law school. It's so nice to read something because I want to instead of because it was an assigned reading for school. If anyone has something they would like reviewed, just post it here or email me, and I'll be glad to check it out.

I have also stepped WAY outside my comfort zone this week. I wrote my first poem - a diatelle, which I hadn't even heard of until this week.

Then, I even took a stab at erotica, another first. Sure, it's more like PG erotica, but ya gotta start somewhere.

I think I'll just sleep for the next few days to celebrate all my hard work.
