A Quest Called Tribe

I have been reading a book that a couple of my friends gave me as a gift because they believe in me. It's a really nice feeling. They care about what happens to me and wish me the best.

Even though I have been dragging my feet on reading this book (which everybody has been suggesting) because I try to steer clear of self-help books, I have made it through half of the book already (no mean feet for me). My thoughts on self-help books were echoed in School for Scoundrels, "You can't help yourself, because your self sucks!"

"End the suspense," say you. The book is called What Color is Your Parachute. I'm not here to sell you this book. You haven't walked into an Amway meeting. I don't care if you ever read it. Whatever it takes you to get to a place where your life is as close to your expectations as you can get it, that's what you need. I can't tell you how to get there. I can only tell you what paths I have taken (of which there are many to enlightenment).

Some of the things suggested in this book, I have already done by instinct. Some I have done by necessity, whether it be for my mental, physical or emotional survival. One of the latest things I have done is join Tribe.net.

If you are already a member, get ahold of me there. I need to meet people. That's why the book suggested the site, for networking. I'm already addicted to networking sites, but this one seems less clogged with jerkoids & malchicks (like myspace, which I won't even link-to here). Or, If you are in need of a personal web page, but have no clue, they do a pretty nice job of setting you up with one.

That's it, I just wanted to give a shout-out and lay my digits on ya. On that face, I'm trying to keep my PMA and focus on the positive possibilities of meeting creative types that want to make things happen.
