8:51amAndrea
3 years is shit at our age.

a life time when you are a teenager

8:55amArthur
well, most of life is consumed by sleeping, shopping, cooking and eating. I read alot, watch a film a day, watch good TV, I write a little and spend sometime each day exercising, swimming and walking mostly, I am intouch with my family (big) everyday and my wife needs my attention regularly and i travel a bit and teach english (for free) in the summer to French kids and here in Spain to the locals and I like to daydream and imagine things and I watch alot of college lectures online which are free now and i follow the world of finance very closely and i like to take a shower at least once a day...

i could go on...but that is probably enough

8:56amArthur
to give you an idea of what i do

8:57amAndrea
no actually that was well written and i almost went to sleep waiting for your obviously slow typing skills...but what i meant was

8:59amAndrea
why are you on face book ev ery day asking us now old hippies questions clearly we would rather steer clear of, and not face? why do you care that we get it?

9:00amArthur
i am not aware that i am asking questions...how do you see that?

9:01amAndrea
never mind, you should have been a lawyer... i am being witty and you are being defensive... not necessary its great hearing from you...

9:01amArthur
it is always great to hear from you as well

did you see Avatar?

9:02amAndrea
no, but i heard it was like an alien version of dances with wolfes


do you publish at all?\

9:03amArthur
yea you could say that although IMO, much better

no i don't publish...yet

you should definetly see it

it is worth the price of admission

9:04amAndrea
what do you write?

9:04amArthur
nothing specific more thoughts and things

9:05amAndrea
i have an idea for writing.i think its great,, wanna hear about it?

9:05amArthur
sure

9:06amAndrea
are you still an agent?

9:06amArthur
nope...retired

9:06amAndrea
so sad///

9:06amArthur
not for me

9:06amAndrea
okay... what your email?

so i can send you my idea.. in the form of a very short story...

9:07amArthur
arthurimparato@yahoo.com

i look forward to reading it

what do you do with yourself the you really enjoy?

9:08amAndrea
okay i am sending it now.. its called first chapters.. my idea is someone writes their first chapter, so the next person can write theirs.. anyway, you will know most of mine..

i play guitar and wriite

9:09amArthur
are you good at the guitar?

9:09amAndrea
arthur, if you hadn't fell off the bed onto that guitar in pams room , i probably never would have learned to play.. yes i am very good, in a girl /dylan sort of way

9:10amArthur
that's fantastic...have you posted anything on youtube or myspace?

9:10amAndrea
i don't know how to do that

9:11amArthur
it is really simple...get a video camera...even most still digitals have a film application and shoot youself performing and then upload to youtube..

ask someone you know...under 30

9:12amAndrea
exactly ask a kid, so wait i will send you my blog idea...of which i have no idea how to implement this..why don't you answer back to me with your first chapter to see if my idea works,,will you look at your email now?

9:13amArthur

Andrea
hi arthur

8:20amArthur
hello

8:20amAndrea

i joined a writing class immeadiatly..

8:20amArthur

8:20amAndrea

8:20amArthur

would love that

8:21amAndrea
really really informed stuff

i appreciated it so much

8:21amArthur
yes it is a great tool for writers

how are you?

8:21amAndrea
ok.....

work work work and no pay

is all i have to say

haha

8:22amArthur
any luck with your husband find work?

8:22amAndrea
maybe today actually, he heard from back from a really good lead.. fingers toes and prayers.. oh.. a new song title i think.

its super frustrating for him and i am reviewing his cover letters to make them more human.. and less practical

8:23amArthur
great...i'll keep my fingers crossed too

8:23amAndrea
thanks.. really thanks...

8:24amArthur
looking for work is one of the hardest things a person can do

it takes a lot out of you...

8:24amAndrea
well especially after one year of non human contact and internet soul searching.. ridiculous. i mean i appreciate reaching out to you via internet, ,but jobs..are very different i think

8:26amArthur
yes, unfortunetly with out a job or income or savings we are skrewed

and it is a terrible feeling

i worked with hundreds of people over 25 years who were always out of work

8:27amAndrea
i have never been out of work and neither has jeff.. .very career engineer if you know what i mean....

i am a salesperson , so i can always find a job but i am undereducated and he is a big brain

8:28amArthur
well, let's hope the this rough patch for Jeff is soon to be behind him...

8:28amAndrea
thanks... again thanks.. my class starts march 23.. will let you know what happens

xxx's

8:29amArthur
yes, please do. I am sure it will be a rewarding experience for you.

8:29amAndrea
truly...

good night

8:29amArthur
good night to you, Andrea.
