Not much has been happening here lately, but we are having great conversations amongst ourselves about the future and beyond. So I suddenly thought to myself, "man, I wish I could just take a poll of everybody who knows me and ask them what I should do with my life." And suddenly I realized that the miracle of technology makes that a reality. Gives the idea of "call" a whole new meaning, eh? So what say you, my friends? What would you have me to do with the rest of my life?

You should start a store, or a distribution house or something where you provide 2 things:
1. Roadkill
2. Porcelain bathtubs
These are both things people need, but are hard to come by, well, hard to come buy on a regular basis. This is where you come in. It's a niche market, so get in it while you can.
Posted by: JosiahQ at November 25, 2003 11:22 AMI have a porcelain bathtub buried in my yard! But personally, I´ve never found roadkill hard to come by. I suppose it depends where you drive...
Posted by: stavenj at November 25, 2003 11:55 AMI don't know what you should do with your life, but I think you two should have a very Happy Thanksgiving.

You know what I think you should do...Punk!
Since you have such a plentiful supply of bananas where you are you should invent a banana milkshake machine. It is really quite simple. You need something like the cocomotion but one which elegantly mixes bananas with other ingredients in a circular motion so as to evenly distribute the thick fruitiness all about while being watched by curious blinking Honduran onlookers. You will be like a god. Everyone will bow down and worship blonde-afro pothead seeming, Jesus-freak, gringo speaking, ibs suffering dutch guys like you.
It could be a virtual phenomenon the likes of which noone in your hemisphere has ever encountered. Kind of like the mosquito coast guy with the ice.
You could then buy an island like you have always wanted to and make it into a reformed colony and populate its beaches with little stavens like Noah did after the flood. You could make it a theonomic state in which Maphet and Novey are guest preachers every so often. You could then bring the theologically malnourished Hondurans onto your "promise-land" for a true understanding of the Bible. You could teach them how to be in the world but not of it and they could all move out of Honduran culture and be separate from all the evils that have marred them. Then the rest of the Hondurans would want to visit your island which has now become a country with you as the president and Mason as the secretary of defense and biological weapons. Tim could be the Alan Greenspan guy and Tom could be director of the EPA and the USDA. Rachel could start a new "Just say no campaign" and since Fernando will be the only one with that problem she could have weekly meetings with him and Anna working through his feelings and repressed childhood which drove him to such extreme measures.
Then you could send Honduran missionaries to the United States dressed like Mormons with white shirts and black pants and name tags. They could go door to door and tell everyone about Jesus and his new promise land just off the coast of Honduras. Your island could be a kind of Mecca for people all over the world to journey to in search of spiritual centeredness a la John Calvin.
You could also have a coffee industry called Only Reformed Coffee Beans and ship the gourmet beans all over the world and donate the proceeds to people without equal access to reformed doctrine.
Wouldn't it be great!
Posted by: hambone at November 25, 2003 10:54 PMHmmm....I say join the military! yeah...yeah! Join the Army Force XXI Trials, America will be the safest place if your in its military!...:p hmmm now that I think about it...NAH! Just, do what YOU want to do, you don't need your friends, family, or former Knox students to tell ya what to do! Instead of asking "what should I do?" you should be asking "what do I want to do?" that's what ya gotta do.

Posted by: Jose at December 11, 2003 10:38 AMHow bout a fireman? Or an astronaut. Those are really the only things I think you should be.
Posted by: abe at December 11, 2003 03:12 PMYou definitely ought to grow tulips on your island. But wait, tulips are temporate plants. Maybe you ought to devote some time and effort to develop a tropical variety tulip.
