Mischief and Control

1. If you could live anywhere in the world (and would have the money for a really good place), where would you live?
Well I have been to London as you know and have fallen in love with it. I want to go to Paris and Greece and would love to see what they were about. I am half tempted any place may be better than her for the next 4 years. I am just waiting for my papers to come in that say:

Dear Mr. Campbell:

We regret to inform you that due to your current situation as a "homosexual" that we must ask you to either leave the country or be placed in the care of the U.S. government. We have secured an island of the coast so that you and you kind can frolic gaily about in the bohemian life you've so unwisely chosen to live. We hope you meet compliance and expedite your departure within the next 48 hours. Thank you for you cooperation in this matter.

Sincerely

The President of the United States.

Move over I may be come your way sooner rather than later.


2. What do you look for in a friend?
Most of my friends have some commonality to them. I like my friends to be eclectic. Some feed my soul, others my mind and some my creativity. The one thing most of them have in common is the ability to listen to different views yet have conviction to stand by their own.

1) What made you finally chuck the religion of your youth for your current spiritual path?
I haven't given up on my Christian beliefs completely they are just part of the collective religion I now have. I feel a lot of religion is based on the same foundations.
1. That there is something greater be it Gods or just a collective energy
2. That you should be a good person.
3. That what you put out in the universe you will get back.

What I have cast off are the notions the fundamentalist attitude and the fire and brimstone mentality. I am glad I was raised a Christian and am as equally glad I became a more spiritually educated person.

2) In dealing with all the diverse people in your job, what is the single most important thing that makes you successful at it?
I have an ability to listen. I keep my eyes and ears open. I take the information and be somewhat of a chameleon. I adapt to there need once I know them and then revert back to my old ways keeping in mind their priorities.

3) If you could find the thieves that kept breaking into your apartment, what would you do to them?
Nothing but turn them in and hope they get time in jail. I don't believe they see what they did as wrong. They are opportunists who take because they can't control their lives. I don't think they could ever get that I work hard for what I have and for someone to come in and just take it and also the feeling of invasion you have would matter. I just would hope they would get theirs in the end.

1) Should things fall through with BJ, what will be your course of action?

#1 In December take a vacation over the holidays . I would do something that would let me have time to shake off everything. Someplace warm I think.
#2 I now am out of the large debt and would fix up the credit cards and my credit. Then come up with a savings plan.
#3 I then would enroll in French lessons to get ready for my next big trip.
#4 In February maybe got to London for a long weekend.
#5 Then come March reassess were things. Then with a new Marketing Director see how things are. But mainly figure out what the hell it is I want to do with my life. Hopefully taking time off will help me do that.


2) What was the single best moment of your life, the one encapsulating moment where you were truly happy?
My College/Bluejacket years. I was constantly creative. Surrounded by the coolest people in the world, who are mostly still in my life today. I felt free and unrestricted. It was a truly free time in my life. Hmm...I find that interesting. "I felt free and unrestricted". I never realized that is how I feel right now. I don't have someone keeping me home at night. I'm not chained to my desk like some of my colleagues. I don't have a major debt (well not anymore) or mortgage hanging over me. No car and even the cats I can leave for a couple of weeks. I need to stew on this some more.


3) Tell me why you think your gravy is better than mine.
It's not that I think it is better. I just have a different method of cooking it. This is not about winner takes all. I respect your cooking choices. No really I do.....Really!
