NOI Training and more I had a blast at training, when I first got there and heard everyone's political experience my first thought was wtf am I doing here? I'd be lucky getting job lifting someone's bag because I dont have a political background and thought blogging was some new std via paris hilton. Back to my point, as the training went on I slowly became more confident that I could defintely do this-the canvasing I'm still lukewarm on but its like a shot just down it and move on with it and the odd feeling goes away after awhile. I learned a lot in a week and meet some really cool people-who I hope stay in contact with me just so I know how they are doing.

It feels odd being home now and contacting employers trying to break into this field to see where this road takes me. Never in a million years would I thought I would do training like this to go into politics but after 7 going 8 years of the cradle of idiotcy running the country you would be AMAZED how quickly that can change you when you see how these chages have affected the country first hand and who it affects the most how could you not get involed in politics. Sometimes you have to embody the change you want to see in the world which means sometimes stepping out of your comfort level to learn something new even if its somethings thats a self discovery all change is something constant-if its for the good or bad-either way its about learning something. I sent Roz, Zack, and Judith a email about this because I had no clue on how to use the blog-could you imagine that? I dont think there is enough money or thanks to show them how appreciative we are of the training even if I'm just speaking for myself and I am saying it again THANK YOU!!!!!

To my fellow NOI07 class-some of I got to know well, some of you I didnt but it would be really cool for EVERYONE to stay in touch, even if it's meeting up for a beer (Barak & Ian-maybe in a couple more years for you two-kidding!) and playing catch up that would be cool. Hopefully now that I know what I'm doing on the blogs I can get to know everyone else who I didnt get to socialize with and there is always facebook and my space so dont be a stranger hit me up ANYTIME! Stay in touch-who knows maybe I can sweep a floor for you or somethings (KIDDING!), Peace and blessings to all of you!

PS-dont you all love my sense of humor? I know, its HOT!!!!  ¶ posted by Earl @ 9:42 AM
