*~Asterisk

Translation and original lyrics courtesy of Anime Lyrics
[Chorus]
Rays of light from the stars in the night sky above
send a plea from across the ages
with colours that haven't faded
It's somebody's cry, reflected in those sparkling eyes
A wish carried on the wind, a request from the moon
to live as fully as possible, day by day
So that our wishes, too, will be in someone's heart someday,
let's shine on like that star
1, 2, and so the bells echo, spreading far and wide in the depths of my heart
A legendary stardrop, inside it there's so many narrow paths etched out
With time, the ages pass; a shooting star passes without a sound
Close your eyes and listen hard, maybe you'll hear a "Goodbye"
A black and white photo of the entire sky, a rumbling muffler - white breath
Just wanna get a little closer, I'll race to the high ground up there
Taking out my huge telescope, out of the lens came stardust
Time after time, an epic from across the ages
[2nd Chorus]
Now that the light is released,
surely it can't fail, across time it's got to reach someone
The light of glory is right across the way
It's the story I'm about to weave with you all
[REPEAT CHORUS]
With my birth cry, a small light and a great light met across space and time
Their shine became one, to begin a new story
Like a constellation that connects the dots,
why shouldn't we create a lovely painting for someone?
Take a look above you; see, it's a winter diamond
This slow-moving galaxy, soon enough, will give you your courage back
[REPEAT 2nd CHORUS]
[REPEAT CHORUS]
This sky is the only one there is; it spreads over all. And beyond the sea,
right now, new life takes breath, and life is cut off, while stars shine on, like goddesses
continuing a long journey, or starting anew; in spring, summer, fall and winter
even a second is enough, just a moment is enough, to engrave my thoughts, to shine without end across the ages
The story goes on in the heart
the "you" of that day takes a night train
Rays of light from the stars in the night sky above
send a plea from across the ages
with colours that haven't faded
It's somebody's cry, reflected in those sparkling eyes
A wish carried on the wind, a request from the moon
to live as fully as possible, day by day
Rays of light from the stars in the night sky above
send a plea from across the ages
with colours that haven't faded
So that our wishes, too, will be in someone's heart someday,
let's shine on like that star
Let's shine on like that star

Another Day, Another Lack of a Dollar

Work generates your personality and a large part of your emotions. Work does more than just generate income. This is the main reason I left a 'sure thing' type job.
I left a job several months ago that was, from the outside, a great job to take a risky contract position at IBM. I had been there a few years. I had received a raise, vacation days, and benefits. However I was horribly unhappy. Even now, looking back, leaving there was the right thing to do. I'm happier now, unemployed, than I was working there. I still wake up some mornings and think about how great it is to not be going there.
I've been unemployed before, but those times were different. Before I didn't have a defined career yet. I knew I wanted to be in a technology field, but I had done nothing to make that happen. Since then I have completed college, got years of experience, and met all sorts of people that inspire me to continue down the tech path. So there is little doubt in my mind as to what I should be doing. However there are still plenty of questions about my future.
My biggest goal is to find someplace that really makes me happy. It's very easy to manage everything else if you're happy with something that takes 40+ hours per week of your life.

Why the name 'All My Proctors'?
Well, if you didn't know, I became gainfully unemployed on May 30th. Unemployment inevitably leads to hours of daytime TV, and since my wife isn't working yet either I can't watch Star Trek reruns. When life gives you shit, make poop juice. I used daytime soaps for an inspired title like 'All My Proctors'.
And now for my next trick...a slideshow!
