MIGTDP: So what do you do?
MIBSHI: At the moment? Nothing.
MIGTDP: Umm...okay.
MIBSHI: I moved to Portland last night. I just started looking.
MIGTDP: Ahh, okay. So in an ideal world what would you do for a living?
MIBSHI: In an ideal world? I'd be leading a socialist revolution in Mexico.
MIGTDP: Huh.
MIBSHI: I don't know that I'd be any good at it, though.
MIGTDP: Because you're a gringo?
MIBSHI: Not that. It's hard to light the fire of revolution when you're a Buddhist.
