May 19, 2009 -- Nutrimentum spiritus

I am thinking long and hard about where I want to go with this out-of-date Web site.  I've been a static presence here for too long now and it is time for a change.  All the information I provided for years is so easily found elsewhere that it no longer seems to make much sense for me to continue in the capacity as what is now its previous state.  I'm leaving, I'm changing.  That is if I can find the door.  Or if the door is even there.  But I will return with something more personal and revealing of who I am and what I do.  And it will be inter-active and involve news feeds, etc.  Suggestions are welcomed.  Who are my friends out there.  Let me hear from you, okay?

For starters, I am an excellent researcher with a library background.  Perhaps I can help you with some contract work.  It would sure be nice to have some extra income right now to pay some medical bills that have piled up.  I am competitive and an offer affordable pricing in this time of recession.  I will produce positive and useful results if it is within my capacity to do so.  Save yourself some time because time is money.

Meanwhile, you can find me doing all the other stuff so many seem to be having fun with now.

You can find me at the following ever-growing list of places online:

If you are a artist, writer, musician, nice person, et al, come join MySpace list

You can find me by joining Facebook and searching for "Bill Osment" and become a 'friend'.

And hey, I am a DJ on blip.fm and you can listen to music I have blipped my clicking here.

Perhaps I will get my blog off the ground again.

I recently had a terrifying health scare that has put me on the path to living a healthier lifestyle and I thankfully received the attention I needed.  It is a long road ahead and I'll be fightin' hard.  Nothing is easy and we never get out these blues alive.

Please consider a donation for a return of a new moose & squirrel information one-stop in the near future.
