Is there to no end to anguish? Do we sit back to allow others to suffer, or do we find a way to help them? We offer our lively hoods, and even our souls are at steak the moment we begin to reach other and provid assistance - whether it's by product, or by charity.
Perhaps I am worrying too much. The winter tends to make me think more heavily on things I have done, or things I did not do.
It is business as usual I suppose. With the hibernation of certain trees, or the death of plants and vegetation until the spring, it becomes increasingly difficult to not ponder what is left to enjoy.
Though as a business man, myself, I expect to see the holiday sales draw in large crowds. I suppose I could say it warms my heart to see a business flourish this time of year. There is an essay in that somewhere. I do believe that will be the final essay of the year once I am able to sit down and write out the assignment.

Of all the things you could have me do, Diane. Not only will I never wear a costume like that again, I can assure you that next time the dress will be under my terms. Or well we'll see how far that will last. Embarrassment or not, I really cannot say "no" to her. [deleted] That being said, I did enjoy myself and you still dance like an angle. On the note of dancing -- I did manage to find a place where we could swing. What do you say about going there this Friday?
With the end of the semester in sight, I believe it's time for another essay, but those become boring in time. Late nights never seemed to dull as of late, so I shall think of something more challenging. Challenging ideas, hopes, and dreams- to push limits in order to obtain the goals you have put in place; perhaps I think it's time we do something more than just learn. A hands on experience perhaps, though nothing too detailed. It would certainly make for a much interesting paper.
I do believe I am starting to look forward to this new life.

I don't think I could have asked for better company last night. Though it has reminded me that all work and no play makes for a dull boy. With that I do believe I should finish my lesson plans for the next week. I cannot delay much longer and I do discourage procrastination. Perhaps it is time to look at not just history, but to look forward into the future.
Diane, thank you.

Swallowing my pride. Not something I have found to be the easiest ordeal, however at times it must be done. I suppose it is another lesson I have learned too late. As they say: you cannot teach an old dog new tricks. I only hope that this is the first steps to repairing the damage I have caused.
I have some work I should finish, however, first I do believe I need to buy more cigarettes.

Perhaps it is time for us to review what we've learned thus far. I would like to see an essay, the length I shall leave up to you. The essay will not be graded on the quantity, but in the quality. The value of your words will be enough.
In the mean time, I do believe I shall make some tea in order to relax after a long day. It won't be as wonderful as she used to make. [deleted]

The American dream is to become the best of the best, to offer something that has yet to be offered, and to provide for the masses a new idea. Something that is revolutionary. I had believed I had offered these things, but yet I found that by offering the impossible, people do their best to try and rise up and claim it as their own. You could offer your name sake, but it's a matter of time before your name is nothing.
It's amazing, to say the least, how business ethics change over time and how they differ in each situation. How do you handle employees in every day situations? Do you invite yourself into their lives or distance yourself between work and personal life? I think these questions become interesting with each answer.
Work aside, I never would have dreamed of a second chance if I had remained trapped in my mind. Trapped among the prison of ideas that all was left with a city I funded. Trapped beneath the ocean's depths foolhardy and without a thought of what I was doing with my life. It becomes apparent that I must move on from who I was and become who I need to be. I suppose there is a metaphor or a Chinese proverb somewhere to properly describe the situation, but I cannot think of one at current.
Perhaps, I should try a different approach then what I am accustomed to in this situation.

A relaxing weekend. My, I haven't enjoyed a weekend in quite some time and with lovely company never-the-less. Rinoa I cannot thank you enough for the music. You are one of the most talented ladies I have met, and I have known quite a few talented ladies in my time. I might have to pay a visit to the Royale more often, that is to say if you don't mind me patronizing your establishment.
In the mean time I should be preparing for the next week. The storm has yet to form, and I'm already hoping the end will be soon.It's almost a grievance to be thinking on the issues of the past, but if one cannot face his past, he cannot proceed with his future. I do believe there is some merit in that idea. We all move forward, but if we cannot remember our past history may as well repeat itself. Suppose I have a few things I must do in the future.
That reminds me. I don't believe I got the name of the young woman who wanted to listen to Cohen's music. Perhaps if we can exchange formalities we can discuss the possibility of my lending it to you.

I wasn't expecting to move so soon. Well no matter. I suppose I shall have to make some modest liviing arrangements in the mean time. At least this is more relaxing that being holed up in my office. Cohen had done a marvelous job of keeping the splicers at bay but it was never truly calming. He did have his music. I wonder if I have a record stashed away.
Now to rearrange my new rooming assignment in Daffodil West.
The start of a new era, a new life, that shall prove to be something of an interesting gamble.
In the mean time I'm curious to see where this year will progress. Some I can see moving the Earth, pulling the great chain for their destiny. Yet others will merely stay along for the ride, always unable to grasp true potential. Let us see how this plays out, shall we?

It is an interesting change of pace to move from one city to the next. To move from desolate glory to the start anew is invigorating. To set my sights on perhaps a new challenge in life. Which brings me to why I am here today.
There is a time where a man must choose his path. To strive for glory, or to sink to the bottom of desperation. To take advantage of the weak, prey upon the poor, or to provide an opportunity of a life time. There are two kinds of men in the world - those who choose, and those who obey.
I am here to teach the price one pays with every business interest. Large or small there is a price that comes with every transaction, and every step you take can send you further into ruin, or into a greater glory. A man is entitled to his wealth if he earns it, not if he steals it from someone else as parasite would.
My name is Andrew Ryan, and I'm hear to teach the lessons I've learned with the fall of Rapture. Perhaps with that, the world of business can change for the better or worse. We'll just have to see where that leads us, now won't we?
Hmn... Gladiolus West shall be my new living arrangement. This should prove to be an interesting endeavor.
