What a 14 day period of bizzaro world....the meltdown of our economic system, the tension surrounding the Presidential election, and the sub-surface knowledge that our world is going to have to change has made everyone touchy and easily upset...
i observe the tension at work...of course that is where i am the overwhelming time period in this universe....but conservatives are suffering/reacting the most..true idiots who have zero knowledge and interest in anything are doing OK----Liberals are doing OK since we have hope thanks to Obama---
conservatives on the other hand when not busily passing blame for the economic crisis off on Clinton....believe 
that or not....see their carefully constructed world of bullshit collapsing----everything from George W. to Iraq to trickle down economics have proven the inherent falsehood of their belief structure and many are angry without acknowledging the true reasoning----the world is difficult when you are unable or do not wish to think or see the truth. Strange times are in route....

The best description i have read on the Republican party came off the net this past week--"the Rep
ublican party represents the richest 1% of the American population and the 30% of the population with the lowest IQ levels." This quote is backed-up by the Palin videos on the web displaying her bizarreness in those snake dancing churches, her Aryan brotherhood buddies in the Alaska Independent Party, her non-abstinence daughter and resultant baby or trooper gate....Bill Mahr said it best the other night when he discussed how overwhelmingly stupid and almost lynch mob like Palin's target audience has become at her public appearances.

Here's a photo of a bag I'm using while riding the human transport
er to carry the displayed essential items with me. I picked up this $10.00 rainproof northface bag on ebay acouple of years ago, thinking I'd find a use for it eventually and i have...i can email off the smartphone and the igo keyboar
d---if i stop for a cup of coffee...the bag hangs well when i'm gliding and between the shoulder bag and the commuter bag attached to the segway leansteer bar I've got room to tote purchases home....I'm getting better at this segway thing----i think...
ALONE IN IZ WORLD by Isreal Kamakawiwo'ole--- so beautiful is his voice that you can cry if you sit and listen too closely----either you know and appreciate this artist or there is no hope for you. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel_Kamakawiwo%CA%BBole
i also just ordered the soundtrack for the Soprano's...Primarily so that i could play the opening song "Woke up this morning" on the way into work--or when i HT around...I purchased it new/used on amazon....
I am amazed at how my wife and i downsized and economically balanced ourselves before these recent economic difficulties.
I'd like to be able to say that we were ahead of the societal curve due to our intelligence or planning....but i can't.
Over a year ago we began downsizing our lifestyle and economically right sizing our lives together. we actually woke up one morning and decided to sell our big house, our big cars, buy a smaller house in the city, buy a prius and a segway and clear our debts and obligations and begin to garden. Now how does this happen?---a year before the American economic system starts to eat it's young we decide to make a major change to ourselves and the way we live.... We were in fact so far ahead of what was coming that people thoug.jpg)
ht we were crazy to do what we were doing---I got huge amount of those why type questions you know, the ones that infer that you're crazy?....ALL IN ALL WE JUST SUDDENLY RECOGNIZED THAT EVERYTHING WE HAD BEEN DOING---WHAT WE HAD BEEN CONVINCED INTO DOING, CONVINCED INTO A STYLE OF WRONG LIVING ------WAS SIMPLY NOT RIGHT!....it was one of those Eureka moments---with one exception we actually listened to ourselves that little inside voice and acted on this thought process. Believe me it was a great deal of work and mental stress to accomplish but now----i am so so glad that we listened to that little voice---that said no more...we sold and moved-----since moving into our little 1200sq.foot bungalow-----

set up rain collection barrels, painted everything inside, adapted to downsizing (as in getting use to having only two closets), i had to build a new nerd cave, rebuild the garage on the alley,---and now that we have a breather stage 1 is completed---it turns out that we are so looking forward to stage 2---the upcoming years in our little bungalow...with no debt hanging over us..and no worries as to what the government does...they can bite me....I'm independent.
