A difference?
Xander Sinclair (Jul 12, 2010 12:00:43 AM)
Seattle area isn't doing that badly economically, or situationally in life. On the other hand, New Orleans is defiently in need of a helping hand. And its sort of what I like to do.
Carl Weishaupt (Jul 12, 2010 12:02:51 AM)
What do you do?
Xander Sinclair (Jul 12, 2010 12:04:22 AM)
I own an investment company, and I specialize in small business and local marketing. I endeavor to see the little guy succeed.
Carl Weishaupt (Jul 12, 2010 12:05:51 AM)
Oohh. Money makes my head hurt.. I could never do that sort of thing. *He glances to tarra* And you?
Tarra Shapiro (Jul 12, 2010 12:07:24 AM)
She shrugs her shoulders. "I was working on the next generation of XBox, but my job went to China. My fiance got a full ride scholarship to Loyola School of Law, so I moved here to tag along. We roll with the punches, no?"
Xander Sinclair (Jul 12, 2010 12:13:36 AM)

Carl Weishaupt (Jul 12, 2010 12:26:01 AM)
(agh, damn it! why are people bothering me at midnight?)
Carl Weishaupt (Jul 12, 2010 12:26:33 AM)
A friend of mine recommended that I could have a much better job down here. So far, things aren't too promising.
Xander Sinclair (Jul 12, 2010 12:28:08 AM)
Work? What's your field Carl? *he quirked his brow*
Carl Weishaupt (Jul 12, 2010 12:28:35 AM)
I'm a writer, for newspapers and stuff.
Carl Weishaupt (Jul 12, 2010 12:28:49 AM)
Freelance, though a staff job would be nice, buuut.. wishful thinking.
Xander Sinclair (Jul 12, 2010 12:30:39 AM)
*he chuckled* Well good work comes to those who can show they can succeeed.
Carl Weishaupt (Jul 12, 2010 12:31:12 AM)
Well, yeah, but that's not really saying much.
Tarra Shapiro (Jul 12, 2010 12:32:59 AM)
"Not right now...but half the trick is not giving up.
Carl Weishaupt (Jul 12, 2010 12:33:52 AM)
I just got here. I assure you there isn't any giving up.
Tarra Shapiro (Jul 12, 2010 12:34:12 AM)
"That's what's important. I'm not giving up either."
Carl Weishaupt (Jul 12, 2010 12:34:26 AM)
On what?
Tarra Shapiro (Jul 12, 2010 12:34:44 AM)
She laughs. "Getting canned right after graduation."
Tarra Shapiro (Jul 12, 2010 12:34:55 AM)
"No such hting as a failure. just a new opportunity."
Xander Sinclair (Jul 12, 2010 12:35:34 AM)
*he smiled a bit, sipping on his bourbon* There is a lot out there though, that I can attest.
Tarra Shapiro (Jul 12, 2010 12:36:06 AM)

Xander Sinclair (Jul 12, 2010 12:40:53 AM)

Tarra Shapiro (Jul 12, 2010 12:41:05 AM)

Tarra Shapiro (Jul 12, 2010 12:41:14 AM)

Xander Sinclair (Jul 12, 2010 12:42:33 AM)

Tarra Shapiro (Jul 12, 2010 12:42:59 AM)
(har.)
Xander Sinclair (Jul 12, 2010 12:44:34 AM)
Mm hmm. *he shook his head* So what Keeps you busy in your spare time Carl?
Carl Weishaupt (Jul 12, 2010 12:46:15 AM)
I do a lot of reading. looooots of reading. Not just books, but whatever I can find on the internet on any subject. Economics, psychology, weird occult shit, history, science... anything with text that I get my hands on.
Tarra Shapiro (Jul 12, 2010 12:46:36 AM)
"So you're a curator of knowledge."
Xander Sinclair (Jul 12, 2010 12:47:43 AM)
Weird occult shit? *he cocks his head to the side* What sort of weird occult shit?
Carl Weishaupt (Jul 12, 2010 12:48:12 AM)
Curator? Yeah.. actually, I guess I am. Not much of it useful, but still.
Carl Weishaupt (Jul 12, 2010 12:48:39 AM)
Anything. Stuff about ghosts, cryptozoology, conspiracy theories, genus loci..
Carl Weishaupt (Jul 12, 2010 12:49:14 AM)
Babylonian burial rituals, egyptology, kabbalism, so on and so forth.
Xander Sinclair (Jul 12, 2010 12:50:36 AM)
Gematrical equations? *he looked over at Tarra, then back to Carl for amoment, mulling over what he just talked about.
Tarra Shapiro (Jul 12, 2010 12:50:47 AM)
"You're into gematria?"
Carl Weishaupt (Jul 12, 2010 12:51:47 AM)
Oh yeah. Gematria, numerology, I kinda wanna learn more about alchemy but -man- is it hard to find books on that.
Tarra Shapiro (Jul 12, 2010 12:52:03 AM)
"What sparked your interest?"
Carl Weishaupt (Jul 12, 2010 12:52:27 AM)
How hard it was to find out about it. The more something is hidden from me, the more I want to dig into it.
Tarra Shapiro (Jul 12, 2010 12:53:24 AM)
"My grandfather is a rabbi. I grew up with it, to some extent."
Xander Sinclair (Jul 12, 2010 12:54:41 AM)
*he leaned back as they started to talk shop, swirlign his drink as he ashed the cigar*
Carl Weishaupt (Jul 12, 2010 12:56:54 AM)
Oh, I didn't have any of that. Started with catholicism, had no use for it, then stopped believing all together.
Tarra Shapiro (Jul 12, 2010 12:57:03 AM)
"That's a shame."
Tarra Shapiro (Jul 12, 2010 1:00:51 AM)
"Faith is a tricky thing. I don't blame people for having or not having it."
Carl Weishaupt (Jul 12, 2010 1:03:36 AM)
As far as I'm concerned, Faith is for people too lazy to see things through themselves.
Carl Weishaupt (Jul 12, 2010 1:04:00 AM)
Or unable. To me, Faith is giving up.
Tarra Shapiro (Jul 12, 2010 1:04:17 AM)
"we have very different concepts of faith."
Carl Weishaupt (Jul 12, 2010 1:14:40 AM)
How so?
Tarra Shapiro (Jul 12, 2010 1:18:58 AM)
"Sometime, I'll explain it to you."
