effing rams.

steven jackson is now on my axis of evil. thats right. romo is next.

feeling blue and inward.

It's the place that's said to break
It's just as safe from the outside tonight

And I warned them
I face the storms at the tides
From the lighthouse

And I warned them
Unleash the storm and the night

Oh...

What do the waves have to say now?
What do the waves have to say now?

Slow down

And let the waves have their way now
Slow, and let the waves have their day

And I warned them

Here I've been living on roofs made from sin
I put an outward, "Begin, begin."

Here I've been lucid I'm living within
Inwardly urgent and sinking again

The Lighthouse
Interpol

just saying

if the bailout plan was rejected, some people believe that the american economy is ruined. i might think so too. but is it because its been shoved down my throat?

why do i care about wall street? i dont have stock. my retirment plan currently is to die early. it really doesnt matter to me if all the investors and stock brokers have to serve up burgers and fries at mickey d's like the rest of us. hell, it might stop the immigration problem too.

i also dont really believe that if say 100,000 to 200,000 of these wall street players go broke. or their companies either. truth be told, this is America dammit! we do things on a bigger scale. 2ooK is a drop in the bucket. smaller businesses are not able to borrow money? well, i estimate that when the big brother businesses go bye-bye, that these smaller businesses might actually boom with all the new demand and not-so-much supply available.

so far i have not been late on my mortgage. do you wanna know why? well because i didnt go buy a 500,000 dollar home or mansion on the hill i couldn't possible afford if push came to shove. one might say, i was a savvy investor. on the news those big homes in foreclosure aren't the 100k homes people SHOULD buy. its the just-out-of-reach-lookie-what-i-have-and-you-dont homes. pah-lease.

im done now but not really. just too much to say.

the people don't care

sometimes i make the mistake of thinking that what i know must be common knowledge...wrong. how come every time i say, "what do you think about the bailout?" or "did you see bush's speech last night?" all i get back is a "what? i dont know about stuff like that." or "i dont pay attention to that." like, is it too much to ask to care a bit about important things that are going on in our country, if not internationally? i mean....really? you would be surprised how many people really don't know a thing about anything.

too much is too much

my feelings on sarah palin may not count for anything but i think that for someone to be soooo pro-life, all about the family...maybe she should take a look at her own. 5 kids, one newborn with down syndome and one pregnant teenager. i don't know how she defines "functional" but i think she may want to spend some time getting to know her own family, not trying to dictate the likes of everyone elses. but, oh wait, that is what evangelicals do. you are never wrong, your neighbor just is.

things fall apart

i may not be a studied economist but i am a human being whose 25 years taught me a thing or to about surviving with little to no money, most of the time. and for sure i think that things just dont one day go from 100% hunky dory to, oops! our company is broke. pah-lease! as if these ceo's and corporate greedy bottom feeders didn't get there million dollar salary this year at aig and lehman brothers. i think we should put em all in jail for fraud.
