Friday, 12 Premise 2012

About that blogging thing - it seems to me that the whole writering thing is not going to be feasable within a survival-mode lifestyle. At least that is the way I feel about it these days. Especially with the tremendous amount of feedback (cough) that has gotten through the cone of spammy silence I've put up around the funny Farm.

But, hey - I'm not here to ask you (again) to help me get through the Bush Depression. I might not be here soon at all if we get a Chinese-style internets policy like the one percent are trying to put in place.

I'm here to tout Get Your censor On, the latest effort by David Rees (I hope - I didn't see, during my brief mad scan before posting this, any accreditation for David* - that this is something he's put together). He has a ton of good stuff up already, and you can monitor his newest material through a new entry in the links zone over to the left. For as long as they let any and/or all of us stay on the internets.

A couple of haikus in honor of Get Your censor On:

Go haiku yourself!

Share and Enjoy!

* - then again, I don't do Facebook and the Twitter so I didn't check out the facebook info associated with the Get Your censor On page...

Humpday, 3 Premise 2012

Hopefully this won't go the way of so many blog posts over the past year or so - a few graphs tossed out and then tossed away. But I'm running out of options and time, and I might as well put something down before the whole house of cards falls apart.

First of all, thanks to Marc Perkel for hosting this web site for me for free for the last few years - since I was laid off in 2009, I believe. Marc, please email me so's I can talk to you about the ongoing helping hand you've been giving me.

Second of all, thanks to the wonderful bloggers in my links zone for saying what needs to be said and pointing out the severe and persistent lies and hypocrisy foibles of the Republicants, the mainstream media, and the Democrats while they erode away what's left of the middle class and toss them into the bucket of crabs that is life in the less respectable areas of town. In particular, Hullabaloo, the Rude Pundit, and alicublog have been of immense help in fighting the gradually worsening depression that comes from trying to survive through the Bush Depression whilst being unable to find gainful employment in the real world. Was it something I said?

Third of all, thanks to the small and upcoming (warning: Google Chrome doesn't think this site is safe) businesses who have given me some small rays of hope and a bit of cash in my pocket since the unenjoyment ran out in October 2010. I don't really want to get into the details of how some (cough) businesses in this Cheneyed-up world pay cash under the table to their workers - especially as I am hoping to get more of said cash and don't want anyone to get into any trouble over it - other than to say I am intimitely aware that such businesses exist, and how they do business.

There is hope that I will be able to help in getting a mini hydro power station set up during the year, and some in my immediate circle have been making vague noises about installing solar and wind power. So the official business (which still does not have an official web site) and my official current position as starving up and coming CEO of a renewable energy consulting company might provide some small amount of gainful employment over the next twelve months.

Last (but most certainly not least), thanks to all of the family and friends who have offered their support should things become desperate enough that I would require it. Everyone (that I'm talking about here, I don't really know any really wealthy people) has been being squeezed and stressed by the Bush Depression for years. A lot of good people have snapped under the pressure, and most of us are getting close to fraying their last nerves. I'm not sure, from day to day, whether it's encouraging or frustratingly disappointing that I am managing to keep it together, and that I am making out better than most these days. All I can say is hopefully we can all help each other get through this mess and get to a world of hope and promise for most of the humans on the planet.

I'm not really sure how long and how much the desire to put forth more bloggy goodness will last. For now, I will leave you with a few haikus I put together for the Rude Pundit end of year haiku retrospective:

Go haiku yourself!
