Dreams

Today I came really close to fulfilling one of my dreams. I was almost the only person on a subway car. Then this guy with boring shoes got on and sat down. Bummer.

I'm tired.

Kiva - Microloans

We Let You Loan to the Working Poor

Kiva's mission is to connect people through lending for the sake of alleviating poverty.

Kiva is the world's first person-to-person micro-lending website, empowering individuals to lend directly to unique entrepreneurs in the developing world.

The people you see on Kiva's site are real individuals in need of funding - not marketing material. When you browse entrepreneurs' profiles on the site, choose someone to lend to, and then make a loan, you are helping a real person make great strides towards economic independence and improve life for themselves, their family, and their community. Throughout the course of the loan (usually 6-12 months), you can receive email journal updates and track repayments. Then, when you get your loan money back, you can relend to someone else in need.

I just found this website, and it looks really cool. Check it out people. It allows you to lend anything from 25 - 375 dollars to underprivileged people in developing countries that are interested in starting businesses.

People say the darndest things.

Here are some excerpts from past msn conversations. I found them while browsing through my conversation history.

"It should come sometime in October, so I've got to get a good handle on how to assemble one of these puppies from the ground up before then."

"They are like little nuts and when you bite them a big explosion of heaven opens up then you swallow them and its like you fell in love for the very fist time.... "

"Ever since Dylan and I seen those Acai pills on Cnn and Oprah we have been taking them and losing so much weight so fast with no diet or excercise , we are living proof that it works like magic and they are only five dollars now to try from http://boairth.com"

"I going to go military if they let my brace in"
