Irons in the fire for me.
I love the Monavie brand products and use the gel packets on a daily basis. I am an authorized distributor but it isn't anything I really push on people. At least I don't think so. I am always willing to give friends samples of their new products as they come out. I have a website set up @ http://mymonavie.com/boi if you ever want to look for more information.
ACN - Independent Telecommunications distributor. I have just started in this and it is something that I see great potential for myself in. I have been telling quite a few friends and family members the latest and greatest promotions or phone products for awhile. I might as well be getting a commission on it instead of sending them to a specific dealers store or website. This way I can also make sure that they stay happy with their service. I have my own online website set up for this one too @ http://ludington.acnrep.com
Bzzagent...This is the one that actually made me realize how much networking about products that I already do. This company contracts with product manufacturers to spread the word "or BZZZ" about their products. In return for "bzzing" Bzzagent sends you samples and coupons to help spread the word. They don't expect you to talk about a product that you know nothing about. Campaigns fill up quickly and are based on demographis and region. They wouldn't have someone in the NW bzz about a business that is only located in the SE. If you are interested check them out @ http://bzzagent.com
Vocalpoint...Let manufacturers know your thoughts. Every so often this place does campaigns similar to bzzagents. They also frequently send out coupons for you and friends you choose to give them to. I have had so many that I couldn't list them all. The most recent were for a free box of Rice Krispies for me and $1 off coupons for friends. The local Albertson's had a sale going on the made them about $.50 per box. http://www.vocalpoint.com
Each of the above projects help me feel useful and like I am actually accomplishing something other then "just" being a full time college student.

A Blog on Paper
When I finished my research paper for my English course I thought I was done. A sigh of relief. A weight off my shoulders. Instead I found out the details of our blog on paper that is do with the final portfolio. I can either re-write two papers that I have done or re-write one and do this blog on paper. The first four pages kind of fell quickly into place along with the subject itself. The problem is that I need WORDS. I don't remember how many off the top of my head but way more than I have.
I decided to work based on one of the quotes that I found from the trials of the Nazi doctors. This statement was "The life of an insane person is not in keeping with human dignity."
At one point in my mothers life I would have agreed with that statement. I have never seen the entire movie One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest but I did see some of the scenes. I also saw some of the scenes from 12 Monkeys. These didn't paint a very good picture of mental illness. I saw what my mom was going through and she was no longer a "productive" member of society.
I know that at the end my mother was more coherent and with it than she had been in the previous 25+ years.
More research has shown me that many of our creative geniuses actually had mental illness or one sort or another. So if any one is reading this I would love to know of any works by some of the "mad" geniuses out there.
I am thinking about posting the finalized research paper and the "blog on paper" both here after the term is done.

Jabberwocky
This poem was mentioned earlier today and has been running through my head ever since.
JABBERWOCKY
by Lewis Carroll
'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wade;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"
He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought --
So rested he by the Tumtum tree.
And stood awhile in thought.
And as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came wiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!
One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.
"And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!"
He chortled in his joy.
'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
