My hate-on for cardboard boxes.

I live in a world of boxes and packing tape.

I no longer know where anything is.

For someone who has very few things- I sure have a lot of crap to pack.

Next time I say I want to move, some one duct tape me to a street light and set my toes on fire.

God I hate moving.

D-day is next Wednesday, if you want to come help me load a truck. They tell me it is the perfect way to end a summer vacation.

Loans that Change Lives

What do you give the person who has everything? Why not give a loan to someone in a developing nation?

What am I rambling about?

Kiva is a person-to-person micro-lending website. A place where people like you and me, are able to act as a bank (except not a real bank- because you have integrity and are motivated by a desire to help) directly to entrepreneurs in the developing world.

The process is quite simple, according to KIVA, you can 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.

Sounds like a plan to me.
