So apparently we weren't on the same page with the "fingerprint" thing. What I was thinking was this: it's quite a strange, unique part of our body, but it's something we never think about unless we're watching CSI. What role did it serve in the evolutionary process? Scientists say the ridges allow us to grip things better. Perhaps. But that doesn't explain how or why it can identify one person out of billions. Anyhow that's that.

Do you ever feel like you have to do something drastic? To blast your life's orbit onto a different path? I think I'm there. Being out of a job for a while is hard. The one thing that I find most difficult to take is the effect it has on others - my family for example. I put enough pressure on myself to find a job and get my life straightened out, but it's made even more difficult because of the stress it puts on everyone else. And that's something I have to work out really soon. Or take drastic action.

In other news, we lost our final playoff game in indoor soccer, which was a big disappointment, since we won the overall league a few weeks earlier. We fought hard but the crossbar certainly wasn't our friend, mine imparticular. Anyhow, went out for beer and wings and that's never a bad thing.

cheers!
