back in Ann Arbor

I am back in Ann Arbor. I put my resume up on craigslist pretty quickly after getting home and waited. The only real response I got was from a company called pre-paid legal Inc. The company sells legal insurance. For 17 dollars a month or so you can get unlimited phone calls to lawyers and unlimited letters written on your behalf. It doesn't sound like a bad product. However, when I tried to find third party information about the company I read on wikipedia that less than 25% of their sales representatives sold more than one plan in 2005. They want me to buy a plan before I sell any and that would cost me more than I am going to make. I don't want to sell anything to my friends and they expect you to market to your friends. So I turned down the job. I turned in a couple applications other places. I applied at the people's food co-op and the Northside Grill. Well, without work I have plenty of free time. I have been walking a lot, usually one trip downtown and back everyday on foot which is more than an hour of walking. I have been going to yoga and tai chi classes. I am going back through this huge packet of articles I had for yoga teacher training. I have had some spiritual experiences again like a feeling of bliss and peace at my third eye while reading the yoga teacher articles or feelings of peace and calm at yoga class. I felt chi in my hands after doing the tai chi form in class. I ran into Shawn Veeder again who likes to call himself nobody. I met this guy Harison when hanging out with Shawn. His parents were hari Krishnas so I guess the name is from Hari. We had great discussions about the most outlandish thoughts I have had and he gave me some more outlandish ideas I hadn't thought of before. I think the thoughts would seem outlandish to most people but during the discussion they seemed quite plausible. I have kept drawing at coffee shops. There are more coffee shops here so it is easier to find people to draw. Nichelle might visit Ann Arbor soon. More bliss to you all.
