Alert: Jumbo Limbo downgrade to Picolo Limbo
March 23, 2008
>компютри втора употребаof my friend’s tenuous grip on atheism is being further eroded by my previous post. He says he is going to pray for me. Well, I just could not live with being the instrument of spiritual obfuscation for anyone. So, an update…
The agent in Taipei has agreed to proceed with switching the category from spouse to common law partner. Hurray! It appears that both categories are equal, in so far as her rights and privileges are concerned. I have to forfeit ever sponsoring my ex-wife, though. Boy, can I live with that.
My mother comes to the rescue once again. I am too relieved to complain about it this time. Seriously, I am grateful t is all going to work out. Now I can actually concentrate on much better things to get anxious about like: what the hell am I going to do in Canada??
I feel pretty good actually. It’s all going to work out. Time passess and I will end up skeletal dust no matter what wonderful or terrible things fate has in store for me. To imagine oneself in the grave, decomposing is such a wonderful, liberating exercise. And we need more freedom; freedom from our own conditioning, freedom to love, freedom to end the illusions that our society imposes on us and that now we impose on ourlseves, freedom to live without fear.

There are so many jobs at all levels available in Canada, esp in the West that what you will be doing is not much of a problem-the problem could be where will you be living-housing is very scarce and expensive.

Horay! Sorting yourself out in Canada may be hard, but it will hopefully just need time. When you get back, you may see what a mess everyone life is like there.

I think dan’s point is that the grass is just as green–or brown–no matter where you go…:)

Darlene, I agree, Canadians are very blessed people, in comparison to many, many people in the world. But, given that Patrick has a Canadian passport, he is included in that lucky group.
My point was basically trying to reassure him that going back to Canada may not be as daunting as his imagination is telling him. That maybe he’ll discover, on arriving, that lots of people are unsure about what they are doing or what their job-market value is.

ah so, thank you for the clarification Daniel. i am sometimes a little testy about people thinking everything is more black than it is.
