Today marks two years to the day that Obama took power. But what power does he have? I stop to ponder on this 2 year anniversary of his taking office. He promised hope. But how much do we really have? Was it jobs we should have been looking for, like we, I am, now. How hard can it be to give the population a purposeful reason to get up in the morning? But it's the money that's the problem. That's the spoiler right there. How much sense does it make to go to work to manufacture things like cars and spend billions on bailing out cars, designed to keep you in the tail chase, enslaved to provide far too much more for too few and gluttonously even harmfully more than the essentials of life?
Food, water, ecosystems are something all living organisms require. Just ask any of the 5,000 birds washed up on the shores of Georgian Bay, not a dead one, one that's close to death but just look in their eyes and try to read their minds. Maybe if we would stay where we're at and stop spreading our virusish selves all over the globe we might keep things in a little balance for a few more decades, maybe.
Sustainability is essential. The indirect way of doing this, which is orchestrated to generate revenue and excess for those setting the rules in the game of life, is unsustainable, destructive and unnecessary. We need to escape the restraints that money brings by abolishing money or at the very least re-visit it's warped structure and focus on doing what we all can do individually to achieve our necessities collectively as one; doing for those who cannot do for themselves and doing all that we can for our selves and others.
I am one of the 99% that presently represent the all but extremely wealthy percentile. But I also am one of a different 1% that lives with 99% more than the rest of those living beings that live in suffering. Unnecessary suffering. Whatever percentage I am I am 100% sure we can be doing much better than this.
One has to wonder if politics is the solution. Or the problem. And if we are the government, then is it us who is the problem?

Happy Random Acts of Kindness Day!

40 Year Old Frosh
Well, the down turn in the economy has meant a lot of changes for a lot of people. It's been a very unsettled year and the decision of where to go from here is mind boggling!
I have to admit I was pretty down and out for the first couple of months after John Deere closed it's doors but now I'm looking forward to a bright new future. I'm taking courses at Mohawk College to become re certified for Medical Laboratory Technology and maybe switch over to Environmental Science after that!
So to any of you who are in a state of unemployed confusion I say the universe is unfolding as it should!
Until next time just keep swimming!

Happy Earth Day 2009!
Happy Earth Day! We're all living on it, may we tred lightly if it's not too late. One days we'll be another layer in the rocks of time. That's just how it goes in the mysterious existence of which we're merely a flash. The earth will continue to be born long after we're gone and in that fact I'll take great comfort.
It won't be long until John Deere closes it's doors for good and the first hundred or so will be gone in a few weeks. I'll miss you all my sisters and brothers that have been my family for the past 11 years. The end of this cycle will bring something new in the next cycle whatever that may be. I welcome the challenges and possibilities ahead. Bring it on!
While I gotcha here I gotta confess the Smops thing was an April Fool's joke! Don't you think it's a good idea though?
Bye for now and Happy Earth Day!

Get your Smops Here
I'm selling Smops. That's mops that are socks that you use to mop/dust your floor. Real simple, just put them on and go to town. It makes cleaning the floors fun. Email me for more information.
Bail Out Business Gone Bananas
I say no to bail outs. Especially to car companies. Does it make any sense to bail out the only people working who are working only to make the cars that only they will need to get to work? While the rest of use can't afford a car and have no work to drive it to anyway! Who needs a car??? Where's a darned electric bus that runs on predictible grids and timelines. Oh we can put a guy on the moon alright, but this transportation thing is just beyond us. Families wouldn't have to travel so much if they didn't move away for stupid jobs! If anyone needs financial bailing it's us little poor old working or out of work, enslaved and overtaxed, fine paying, church donating, lawyers' whipping-posts schmucks. And when I said Business, I meant Business. That's all it is. Business. Humans aren't very humane if you ask me. They just like to make money. It's gone bananas I tell you. Bananas.

A Poem for My Blog-Readers
Space and time
Has brought us together
For a moment or two
And my wish for you
Is Love and Peace
And an end to war
And suffering of
All living things on
This precious planet
Our only one
Speak kindly
Do good
And help if you can
For that is why
We’re here
We are the change
Of hope
