I normally listen to XMRadio in my car– that may be why I am 3 months behind on this but I just found out they removed my favorite online only channel from their lineup. On the Rocks is GONE! It specialized in Lounge Music from the 60’s and 70’s very much like Luxuria. And now it’s gone. Dang it.
Guess I’ll just listen to Luxuria instead.
I watched a bit of Glenn Beck. I had to turn him off. He was telling his audience to stock up on food. His guests were saying that super inflation from this bail out is going to simply wipe us out. Sure our FDIC-insured bank accounts are safe but the value will be gone. One of his guests said, “You will spend $100,000.00 on a tank of gas!”
Can I tell you I feel sick? I can’t figure out if this is just another over-hyped Y2K: Planes will drop from the skies! or if everything Glenn Beck and his guests were saying is true. I mean, am I going to suddenly find myself enveloped in a black and white world, hocking newspapers on the street corner while wearing knickers and a jaunty little newsboy cap and eating my meals at the local soup kitchen? Am I going to have to eat my shoe and entertain myself by placing potatoes on the tips of forks and doing a little dance? Or is it just going to be okay?
I read where just the other day a Financial Planner killed his wife, mother-in-law and three sons before turning the gun on himself. The reason? Financial woes. One of Glenn Beck’s guests said that during the Great Depression unemployment was at 25%! Or course that also means that 75% had jobs. That’s still the majority. Regardless of how unique I think I am, I have always fallen into the majority. Should I go out and stock up on Campbell’s Soup? How about bars of gold and silver? Or should I just sit back and wait and see? Of course by doing that I may find my nest egg going to fill up a single tank of gas.
I keep thinking of Doris Day. Que sera, sera.
I got my hair cut today. It was really long. So long that I was wearing it twisted up and clipped, kinda like Sarah Palin’s coif. I wasn’t sure if I was doing it because it was too long or if Sarah seemingly made it okay to wear your hair up again.
I am laying here feeling positively hungry. I really need to get some food in me. Boneless Buffalo wings and beer would taste dang good. Something has been going on with my brain. I am getting soft. Why? I keep thinking I should become a vegetarian. I feel guilty when I eat meat. I picture the living animal and I feel horrible. Of course I feel just as horrible imagining life without meat. I mentioned it to one of my colleagues and he said I should remember that vegetables are alive just like aniimals. They are all carbon-based life forms and if I can guiltlessly eat vegetables I should be able to guiltlessly eat pig, cow and chicken. “Could I then guiltlessly eat dogs or cats?” He said that’s something totally different and I shouldn’t confuse matters.
Okay, this is really odd. I thought these guys were just a silly German Schlager duo but then I find them covering Black Sabbath?
I was on the phone with one of my clients. He was frustrated at certain things that were occuring at his workplace and he said to me in jest, “Do you know of any good therapists?”
“I can only offer you the name of my therapist, Dr. Yuengling.”
🙂
I wish I could visit him right now.
Oh dear. I just noticed. It’s October.
How did that happen?
It’s Wednesday and I am pooped. Monday and Tuesday were get into work early and leave very late days. I got home around 8:00 both nights. There are people out there who put in longer hours than that! How is it that when I get home all I want to do is eat and lay down and watch Family Guy? Why can’t I motivate myself to do a load of laundry? Why do I have to work such long hours? Maybe I am just trying to accomplish more than what is possible in a normal day? Thursday I was thinking of going to NYC. Right now, I am not so sure I can do it. I have my big quarterly event coming up. This one will be the best yet. The venue is beautiful, the speaker fascinating, yet I can’t get people to sign up. I have no clue what’s going on. I just gotta get on the horn and ask people directly. No one responds to invitations or emails anymore it seems.
Yeah, I guess I am a little stressed, why do you ask?
I’ve found it difficult to post over the last few days. I’ve been pretty much attached to the TV watching everything I can about the whole bailout situation. I am overjoyed it was defeated but I know it’s not over and that most likely it will pass in some way, shape, or form. If anything, the other day’s hoopla was just a way to make it seem like we have a say in the matter. I am just disgusted at the situation we are in and I am saddened that people think creating money out of thin air is a good idea.
I can’t help but wonder what the future holds for us. I keep hearing horrible things such as super inflation and an end to all our luxuries. Who knows. All I know is all things pass, eventually. What really angers me about the situation is that I’ve been such a good little camper. As soon as I joined the workforce I saved. I never ran up debt. I went without until I could afford it. I built a nice nest egg. That nest egg is getting decimated. Is it no wonder why I feel sick to my stomach?
