Blowing against the wind
A born-again atheist.
resurrection
I hate telling other people about my problems. In my experience, nobody actually cares.
So I try to measure the amount of bad news I give to my friends. When I have no good news, as it has been in the last times, I don't tell anything.

Now I want to tell you that I'm partially recovered. I have two jobs. I work at my mom's company to keep my family up and running, and I also work as a night watcher to get some money for me, buying books and clothes. I got tired of the holes in my trousers.

I don't like the watcher/doormat job, but it has some pros. I spent almost 14 hours a day just reading, exercising for my exams and writing. I started a new novel based on a dream I had, about a skyscraper where the tenants are old men and women who are cannibals. All of them make a self sufficient society in the middle of the city. I hope I can finish two or three novels to join contests next year.

I gave up on looking for a job in the metal forming industry, or any industry. My plan now is to go China to study an MBA after graduating. Is the only thing I can do. All the other doors seem to be closed.

By the way, I'm thinking in becoming religious. Which religion do you advice me: muslim, mormon, catholic, etc. I wold prefer a religion where people helps each other.

Get a hug from here. I have plenty. Image

Hola mi nuevo amigo! Yo soy cristiana, aunque no creo que vivo la vida de una santita! :P But what are your beliefs, do you feel that u are religious, or do you feel like ur at a more spiritual level, and do not need to "belong" to particular religion to represent who u r? Cuentame.... :)

Yeah. I'm becoming pretty spiritual these days.
I have been thinking about God a lot. I have been suffering as a bitch and after reading the Bible I said: "Man, I'm such a sinner. I have done almost everything that's strictly forbidden more than once". So, perhaps I am being punished.
Another thing. I have talked to lots of religious people and I came to think that, if there is one, the proof for God's existence is that there are so many people that believe he exists. It's an axiom, like the definition of a plane in euclidean geometry.
The last thing. I desperately need somebody to give me a hand. I am an overtrained engineer working as a doormat. My friends don't try to help me because I'm not the kind of person who inspires pity. They believe I'm gonna make it fine by myself. So I would need some brothers and sisters to give me a hand or two or three. I have some men in my family who are francmasons, and the jewish community is pretty powerful here (not as my beloved italians) but freemasons invite you (you can't knock their door) and I really hate the right wing tendency of Uruguayan jews. I still remember when the vitajon (jewish paramilitary) interrupted a conference about the conflicts in the midle east by breaking their entry and menacing the palestinian consul.

So I'm looking for a nice community, like jesuits or modern muslims. As I attended a catholic school, the jesuit thought is pretty inspiring for me, despite that I considered myself an atheist. The dogma of each community is not important, it's just a bunch of stories. I care for what they do and think about the proper way of living and how are going to make this a better world.

Honestly, I think I just need to feel that somebody cares for me.

its nice to hear from you again, also nice to hear that you have 2 jobs, good for you, also i have a job that i dont like this much, but is giving me money to survive at the moment, and for the religious part try to analize each religion, and see all the point of views of one of them and join the one that you fit the most, i think that all religions have the same objective.

again nice to hear from you, and keep on the bloggin. cheers.
