Well, I just got a few more writing opportunities today that you'll see underneath this if you haven't read them already. It's interesting to get these assignments and look at the different websites and create something from all that. Now if only I could get a job like that for a living I'd be happy.
I'm hoping that the current tottering in the world's events, both economic and otherwise, doesn't end up with us tottering into the abyss. But it's been a long time coming, since about 1981 when open season on the middle class was declared. But they couldn't be eliminated, and money to live on, not to mention the occasional "luxury" like going out to eat or a video game, has to come from somewhere. So the credit cards came and were maxed out, and then the sub-prime lending came about because the rich realized they couldn't sustain themselves by themselves. But it's a teetering mess, and the rich are starting to realize that jumping up and down like Daffy Duck screaming "Down down down! Go go go! Mine mine mine!" isn't going to work this time. Either they'll come up with another shell game or pyramid scheme, or it all comes down. And just when we're starting to have something in the savings account. I wonder if I should pull the money outta there and the PayPal account and stuff it in the mattress. Here, read this post that touches on this topic, among other things. And fire up some Blue Oyster Cult today if you get the chance. I'm listening to "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" 's scrappier, now forgotten cousin "Burnin' For You".
