Back on the Wagon

Well I figured a six month break from the blog scene would be long
enough and that it's time to hop back on the blogging wagon. I've
decided to try out the mobile email blogging feature of the site and
see if that helps keep updates more regular, if not smaller.

I'm not really sure where to even begin with covering the last six
months. I've been watching my county quickly slide into a
nationalized, progressive wet dream and realizing that many people
don't have the time or energy to do anything about it.

I read an interesting article about a week and a half ago from the
Russian online news Pravda.ru (might be off on the name, will need to
dig up the article later) in which it talked about how America is
quickly descending into a socialist state, and how the average
American cares more about their favorite sports team or reality TV
show than about the decisions being made which with each passing day
are stripping more and more of our rights away. It mocked us for our
pride and that even when we're selling out our freedoms for money or
'security' we still have the audacity to mock other countries for
their lack of freedom. I'll have to find the article and post it
later... Was really kind of eye opening but at the same time sadly true.

In other areas things are going about as well as can be expected.
Seems like everyone I know is pregnant or having children right now
which is great for them and honestly makes me a little sad (for
reasons I shall not get into here) but it's still wonderful to see all
of my friends and coworkers experiencing it.

I'm going to finish with something that has really carried me through
the last five or six months of economic uncertainty. In these
uncertain times, be prepared to lose EVERYTHING. I don't mean this in
a doomsday sort of way. It's a mindset that if you mentally prepare
yourself with this in mind, it helps you realize what is really truly
important. It helps you think about ways you can become more self-
reliant. Give it a try and really think it through. You'll see it's
really a freeing concept.
