What's going on here?

I've made a commitment: to do one good deed per day. Large or small, it doesn't matter. Self-sacrificing or not, extraordinary or mundane, it doesn't matter. Just one thing every day, that's all.

The more I do good, the better I feel about myself. Truly, to benefit others is to benefit yourself. I hope this journal may inspire others who also yearn to do good. So join me on this journey, if you will, and think about the difference you can make in your own life.

Ren Fest turkey leg for... that guy-gal over there

I went to the Renaissance Festival with a friend today. You know those giant smoked turkey legs they have there?--I just had to have one. My friend was indecisive though. I thought she finally said "yeah", but when I got back with two turkey legs, she said it was actually a "naah." So I gave it to the trannie in a Maid Marion dress she happened to be talking to.

ONE GOOD DEED: Give away a turkey leg to a stranger.

Baby daiper in the road?!!

Who leaves a full baby daiper just lying on the side of the road? Ugh. The things you find when picking up trash.

ONE GOOD DEED: Pick up trash, including a baby daiper, from the streets.

Wine for the party

A new friend invited me to a party tonight. I met her for the first time the other night, but she happens to be from the same hometown, and her mom was my high school art teacher! Anyway, it was a nice outdoor BBQ with her friends. I'm getting plugged in to the community!

ONE GOOD DEED: Give wine to the hosts of the party.

Trash at the university

I passed my Japanese placement test today! Now I can take the courses that will allow me to get rated as a public schools teacher of Japanese.

ONE GOOD DEED: Pick up trash around the university.

Supporting my musician friend

I went to a friend's CD release party tonight. It's just a self-published deal, nothing major. He's trying to drum up cash to go on a "tour" (road trip).

ONE GOOD DEED: Support my friend by buying his CD.

Mountain Dew for my brother's birthday

When my brother's birthday came around, I could only think of one thing to get him--the sugary green ichor that flows in his veins and supports his very life.

ONE GOOD DEED: Buy Mountain Dew for my brother's birthday.

More trash collecting today as I explored my new neighborhood.
