On my way home from visiting with my parents, and my niece, I was thinking. The song “All Over You” by Live came on, and it captured my attention in a profound and new way. I realized one thing that I would absolutely love to do, and pray that I will have the money to do it.

I want to make an unfortunate and struggling soul happy. I would absolutely LOVE to eat at a restuarant and be able to touch someone’s heart with gratuity. I know that most people that work at a restuarant are very unfortunate people. It’s a hard job, and the pay is typically not worth the amount of work put in. I would love to be able to provide and put a smile on some waiter/waitress’s face (and tears of joy) by giving $5,000 or $10,000 as a tip to someone whose struggles deserve to be noticed, and helped. If I could ever become fortunate enough myself, I would love to do that EVERY year to someone who is deserving of help.

I don’t want the attention that may come with this idea. I don’t even care if I was recognized for my generosity. I just want to help others that are stuck in such a hard position. It just hurts me to see people struggle like they do. The only thing that I would want in return is to know that I am helping that person, and that person is truly grateful. The only way to spread love and kindness is to do it yourself, and I want to start spreading it more and more.

Alright, just let me embellish on the fact that President-Elect Barack Obama won the election tonight. I’m very excited, because the world is in need for a change. President Bush alienated practically the entire world, and McCain/Palin would have just made it worse for us. We are no longer the MOST powerful country in the world, and Obama is the right person to help bring us back to the forefront.

Alright, and back on course. I’ve been working on my site itself, and a site for a realty company that I’ve been developing off and on for the majority of the year. I’ve been utilizing some new AJAX tools and techniques, and I think I’ve fallen in love with AJAX. Now to soon explore Ruby on Rails and some new implementation ideas of PHP. I’m brimming with ideas since the failure of my work on ArtistOneAnalytics. I am hoping that he doesn’t utilize some of my website ideas that I’ve been stewing over for the last year or so. If he does, I feel it may be a breach of the NDA agreement we signed on. My ideas are my OWN, and not his.

Also, something that has been on my mind about today’s financial crunch we’ve been on: What would happen if the plan from Fight Club actually was implemented? Would they have redundancy set up well enough that it wouldn’t do a thing, or could something actually be planned out to the “T” that would utilize the destruction of the credit market? It’s an interesting concept that Chuck Palahniuk explored.

EDIT:  For those who are curious why I like Obama, I’ll try to post an elongated write-up about it.  There’s a lot to say about him.
