A month's worth of my facebook status

You can find me at www.facebook.com/syrmo but here has been my statuses over the past month, since in a way that has become a bit of a journal for me and I wanted to see if I could revive my blog...

Aaron Syrmopoulos Act in such a way that you treat humanity, whether in your own person or in the person of any other, always at the same time as an end and never merely as a means to an end.

Aaron Syrmopoulos Achievement of your happiness is the only moral purpose of your life, and that happiness, not pain or mindless self-indulgence, is the proof of your moral integrity, since it is the proof and the result of your loyalty to the achievement of your values.

Aaron Syrmopoulos If you haven't found what you are looking for, you can either lower your standards and settle for less than what you deserve or you can keep looking and enjoy the hunt.

Aaron Syrmopoulos I was nearly brought to tears this evening by a message from an old friend. This reinforces my determination to live life in such a way that I will look back on today with the same feelings I have about those times so many years ago.

Aaron Syrmopoulos finally got myself a jobby-job...
19 hours ago

From Belgium to AZ to MN

I've been struggling to find work for a few years. So after some thought I decided that if I am going to struggle I might as well do it somewhere I can watch my nephews and niece grow up. They are all between the ages 2-8 and in that time I've only seen them twice. So as not to become just a face in a photo album I decided to move to Winona, MN...

Aaron Syrmopoulos I'm baaaaaaack!!!

Birthday wishes from facebook

I don't know if this will revive the blog or not, but here is from my facebook wall on my 35th birthday July 29th, 2010

Normally my facebook wall is locked so people can't write on it. However, for 1 day only, in about 8 hours, I will open my wall for anyone who wants to say hi...

Brooke Lindsay Willmarth Hey Buddy. HI
July 28 at 6:20pm
Aaron Syrmopoulos ‎@Brooke HI!!!
@Timothy It's not that I think highly of myself, it's that I am a control freak and don't like people posting links or other nonsense on my wall. I am opening it up tomorrow because it is what many consider a milestone.
