If you give yourself enough time to observe and think about the world around you, all the confusion about your life will come to fruition. In these past few years I've learned allot about humanity. It's a shame that everything is about politics these days. I was reading a science fiction/fact magazine that i've subscribed. Half of the articles mention politics. Climate change, endangered species, famine etc. are all related to politics. These modern day tragedies can all be solved through science, but first you must get through the politics of it all. Human beings have so much potential but we waste it on our selfish instinctual desires. I've learned that there will never be peace because men are corrupt greedy and restless. There are powerful people in this world that will enforce what ever they want, as unfair as that is.
It's better to be the change you want to see in the world. You can whine about it all you want but it doesn't change a thing. You can even try to change the things you know are wrong but it might not work. The best thing you can do is to change yourself. If your pissed that trees are being cut down then plant new ones. If you think that jobs aren't worth it then become self employed.
I think the best advice for surviving in a mean world is to help people. We as human beings are social creatures. We've survived the wilderness by working together. And now in an urbanized world, we must worry about each other. People are allot more competitive and unforgiving then the good old days. It's very cut throat out there. The best way to survive it is to be nice to people. Stay close to your family. Do favours for people. (Remember that word favor? I think it's becoming obsolete. Change the world with one good deed at a time.) It's hard at first to think about other people insted of you. But once you become one of those kind hearted charitable folk, you'll wonder why the hell you weren't like that before.

It's all going to be fine
I've heard politicians say on the radio that it's all going to be fine. The American economy is strong enough to stabilize itself. This is just a bump in the road. When you take a moment to look around you, judge the economy for yourself. More then ever, middle aged and senior citizens are working at minimum wage jobs with no benefits. My guess is they aren't there because they want to be. This past year there have been constant layoffs and factories moving out of the country. Major banks have been failing, People can't afford to live in there homes, the cost of everythig is sky rocketing etc. The biggest problem I see in my life is getting a decent job. Even with a decent education it is damn hard to get a job above minimum wage. Low paying jobs are more demanding then ever. You're extremely lucky to get any benifits at all, let alone two days off in a row.
Every job out there, even if it's minimum wage, should give you enough money to, afford a small house, drive a car, afford good medical AND dental care and have extra money to save for retirement or unexpectid things. This used to be America. Everyone had these things. Now everyone is too poor to afford any of them. Everyone except for the ultra rich.
Everything is not fine. The common man will always be the one to suffer during an economic crises. It's getting harder to make money. I'm thinking of moving to Europe.

Let The Mud Slinging Begin
It's election time one again. This time round no one really gives a shit. No amount of voting can change the fact that the oil barrens own us. Because they keep rising the price of fuel for no other reason then greed, everything else continues to go up. Power will be rising 10% of it's original price. And we keep voting, hoping that things will change. Political miss-leaders don't usually have any power. They just do the campaigning and baby kissing. They're someones face to spit on when we don't see any other face to blame for all the corruption.
Now is the worst time for the parties to bash one another. People want to see change for the better. They are tired of negative energy from politics. We say "We need help." They say "We're doing everything we can. It's the other parties fault." It's the same old story that people are ready to put to rest. People have read to many political/activist blogs, watched to many documentaries, read to many books on the corruption of America, to care about campaigning. They know that political figures these days, no matter how fancy their campaign is, are in it for themselves. Someone I know was considering slinging a little mud of there own about this years election. He said that we should put signs on our front lawns making fun of the whole thing. For a moment I thought it would be really fun and wewould get some attention. Then I thought back to that guy who painted huge house numbers on his roof to make a statement. He was fed up with the government making it a law to have big numbers on your house. He painted the numbers on his roof and his house burned down a day later. Just a coincidence? Maybe if you trust ultra conservative, rich old men. I certainly don't. That's why I don't vote.

Another plane crash
Yesterday a twin-engine plane crashed in southeastern Utah in the western United States, killing all 10 people on board. About % 50 of air plane crashes are caused by human error. At least that's what the companies that design the air craft say. They of course wouldn't want to admit that the tragic results came from technical difficulties. I hope that with the recent misfortune of mass layoffs due to high fuel prices, the employee's of such places will fare well. Thousands of employee's have already been let go. Hopefully those who are remaining won't be over worked and make mistakes. In unrelated news, have you heard about this one yet?
" BUCHAREST, Romania - A court has ordered a Romanian surgeon to pay $795,000 in compensation to a patient whose penis he accidentally severed during an operation. In July 2004, Dr. Naum Ciomu made a surgical error while operating on the man's testicles, severing the penis instead of making an incision to the testicle. The Bucharest Magistrates Court ruled that Ciomu had been "superficial" in his approach to the operation, ordered the fine and handed Ciomu a one-year suspended prison sentence. The ruling can be appealed. A piece of muscle from the man's arm has now been attached to where his penis was, but its function is aesthetic. The victim's lawyer said you don't have to be an expert to realize that the 33-year-old victim isn't in a good state of mind. "
Scary stuff.

over worked and underpaid with no vacation in sight
Well by now pretty much every North American has a shit job. The few people that have nice jobs are working for the government or they have already known someone that works in the same area. Those people don't work enough. Some banks close at 3:00. The government has been talking about giving its employees even more time off.
The average person in today's economy is lucky if they can get one day off a week. On top of that, most people don't keep their job for longer then six months to four years before moving on to the next shitty job.
Let's not forget all the outsourcing to poorer countries. Nothing is made in our own country anymore. It's all assembled in Mexico or China. In my town they are going to get a bunch of Mexicans to do training at the local factory and then go back to Mexico. I have no idea why.
I'm really too tired to do any research regarding this matter but I'm sure that we are all doomed. The ultra rich conservative bastards of the world want it to play out like this: The slaves in the poorer nations will assemble the goods and not complain about the long hard hours and low pay. The slaves in North America will sell the goods. The Ultra rich will buy up everything there is to buy and the very few will dominate the world.
People can't rebel these days because technology is too advanced. In the good old days people would gather their young and strong and rebel against the colonies. But since it's not about riding on horse back with a rifle or going to sea with canons, we're all fucked. They have satallites and earth X- rays and big fuckin bombs. Nations or the populice that rebel from such tragedies as the corruption of Governments and Corporations could disapear with the push of a button. So yeah. That's why nothing will change it will only get worse.
The ultra rich will continue to damage the earth and get what they want out of it, and then colonate mars, where they will have further power over us earthlings. Because they could live on a lush new planet while we're desparate to have clean air, so we will have no choice but to work for them long hours to afford our expensive oxygen masks here on our Earth loaded full of carbon monoxide and countless other poisons. Earth, the new ghetto of the galaxy...
I'll bet you $100000.00 ( What 10.00 will be then) that's is what's gonna happen around 2060. If they keep seniors around by that time. The government doesn't seem to take a liking to them now.
My parents came to visit the other day and it seemed like they were so tired and worn out. They wanted to have fun and have a BBQ but even recreation seems like work when you can never take time off.
Didn't have much to have to say about our dying world tonight. I'ts 1:23 am here and I'm tired from working all day. I'm exhausted. Too tired to correct my spelling.

How to Quit an Addiction (no need to go to rehab!)
Well folks I finally accomplished my goal! I've beat the coffee addiction. After a few weeks of slowly weaning myself off of caffeine.... I quit!!
Tomorrows my first day of going caffeine free. I stopped getting headaches, I have all this energy, I'm not thirsty all the time... I can function!!! Many people in our modern society are hooked on medications they don't need. (these include stress relievers like beer and cigarettes) Coffee, although it's a mild stimulant, is still a drug. Caffeine causes burn out. If you want to quit any drug, wean your self off of it. If you have the will power to do so, its the easiest way. That way you experience very little withdrawal symptoms from it. Every time my caffeine wore off after supper I wanted to fall into a coma for a week. I never felt well rested. Now I can actually accomplish something without reaching for a cup.
TIP Did you know, that if you drank 100 cups of coffe in a day, you could violently die? You start having tremmers

How to quit drinking coffee addiction
I've been feeling like a bag of tired sludge these past few days. It's because I've been limiting the amount of coffee I've been consuming. I am going to end up throwing the shit out the window soon. It's so hard to quit. I feel burnt out all day. The best way to quit when your addicted is cold turkey. I'm not around coffee drinkers all day so that would make quitting easier. I just need to wait until the time is right. The withdrawals would be to hard on me now. I need to help my BF pay off some bills. It would feel like working hung over every day for two weeks. It takes two weeks for the withdrawal headaches, dizziness and drowziness to ware off. Blahhh
In other news, the world is coming to an end. Have you noticed?
