I feel better now.

Obama shouts out to the godless
"We are a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus — and non-believers."
Non-believers! Holla! That's me! I was so excited I almost jumped up and down in our conference room and said, "That's me!" I can't believe he (and his speech writer) acknowledged us. Amazing. LOVE IT.
non-believer is kinda funny, though. doesn't sound a little archaic? like how "heretic" sounds funny (to me). and I do believe - I believe in my ability to make better the lives of my family and people in my community and my earth and stuff like that. but hey, I'll take it.

Thoughts?
THese are things I am thinking about doing (or commencing) in the near future:
1. Americorps in Atlanta or New Orleans
2. Teach English in Japan or China
3. Get my PhD in Comparative Literature from (first choice) Emory University (languages: French, Arabic, and Russian; studying science fiction and science/self identity)
4. MBA/MFA at NYU Stern/Tisch in their new dual-degree program for film producers.
These would all be after movie in Palestine. Not that I would do them all. But who knows?
Could I survive the robobt revolution?
I've been thinking about teaching English in Japan, but I foresee a problem:
COuld I survive the robot revolution? Like, in the initial days as it is starting?
