Since 1980, when i was 5, the money has been sucked out of the economy by business and the wealthy. The homogenization of our country has accelerated because it's good for "business". Jobs have been offshored at alarming rates. Multinationals who are loyal to no one but themselves have consolidated and consolidated again.
We used to have protections in place. These protections were in place through the most prosperous times in our country. I don't understand why people let this happen. I don't understand why people think Reagan is a hero, he was the one that started all of this. The average wage in adjusted dollars from 1980 to 2008 increased a mere $800. So much for doing better than our parents. Thanks Baby Boomers.

Every time I hear Jay-Z, I think of Sam and Dave, and realize how fucking ridiculous our world is.

Can't help feeling betrayed. Invite someone into your life, then your family. Share your insecurities, aspirations, and hopes. It's like it's all been shit on. And people wonder why I don't trust others.

I've been dumped. Evidently, I'm not worth the 3 hour drive and the cost of a tank of gas it takes to get to me. Should I try to remain friends? It's difficult to trust someone who you've let in so far and has rejected you.

I hope that one day, the emotional scars from my childhood will fade, I'll be comfortable with myself, and think I'm worth it. It is only this hope that sustains me.

This year, I've missed my father more than since he passed. The eclipse last night reminded me of the time in the early 1980's, my parents took us out to see a lunar eclipse. The woke us up late, and we drove down the road to a huge cornfield. That cornfield is now a subdivision called Rural Point Estates. It was cold that night. We took folding webbed lawn chairs and blankets. We sat as a family, huddled in the cold, and watched the moon seemingly disappear. I remember that it took a while, just as it did last night. My sister watched it through my Dad's camera, because he a had a zoom lens. We tried to take pictures, but it was hard to tell on the prints what it was due to lack of light and the smallness of the moon in the picture. We sat out there for hours and had a good time as a family. When it was over, and the sun started to come up, we went to Howard Johnson's for breakfast. Although it's kind of a silly thing to remember, I think I'll always remember that event with warmth and fondness.

I know a lot of folks are mad about wikileaks. No matter what they do, I feel it to be necessary. Since we have no investigative journalism in our country, we unfortunately have to rely on people with questionable motives. I will always choose more freedom of information then less. If we don't demand visibility of our government internally, then we must suffer the possibility of having this information exposed externally.

Many businesses talk about World Class Service. Since most of the world live in horrible conditions and abject poverty, why would you want anything World Class?

The iPhone has made me wish like never before that they had never broken up the telephone company. That's right, I'd rather have everyone out there with a model 2500 desk set rented from Bell and attached via wire. Life was so much better when all the phones were the same

Through much of my life, I've felt like I'm from the wrong time. It's not that I lament living in the time I'm in, but my interests, beliefs and what not would have been more in vogue for someone my age about 30 or 40 years ago. I prefer vinyl records. I prefer local businesses. I prefer film cameras. It would seem I take the outdated choice every time.
It's not that I crave nostalgia, or resist change. I suspect that I resent learning something when it was more difficult, and technology makes it easy.
