today, I was not feeling the muse. It turns out that she just doesn't care to create if I have other homework to do. So, instead of extra lab time today, I spent the day at home... still not doing my homework because spending time with Michael was much more enticing.
Michael is at class now and so I will go and do my homework. I really really really hate the idea of moving, but there is a farm that is for rent not far from Michael's Aunt. 300 bucks a month.
Not to mention that living this close to campus is really great for somethings, and not so great for others. The noise, the rental company... The 'kids'... yeah I'm so getting old. Did I mention that the little farm has a chicken coop?
sweeeet.
i am so sick of politics right now. The bank bailout absolutely infuriates me as the reality of my inequality to the upper class is smacked in my face. I mean, my business lived and died according to the free market... If the banks, bank owners and wall street jockeys aren't subject to the whiles of the free market, then they are obviously more entitled than I (or my demographic peers) to such treatment. These people BET..... read that GAMBLE... for a living. They used the money without transparency and did not address the mortgages that they were supposed to.
and there's rumor that there may be 2 or 3 more bailouts specifically for the banking sector.
bleah.
on a good note, Michael and I signed up for the school gym that was just built and it's snazzy. Very beautiful building, lots of space to work out, it's just really awesome and I'm hopeful about getting back into being more active again :)
Hope everyone is well :)
Posted by hawkie at February 18, 2009 07:03 PMI know so many people who are finally jus shutting off their TV's in regards to the bailout thing. It's been over exposed and now people are just sick of hearing about and have almost stopped caring. I can't help but wonder if that's part of the plan. If no one is watching, what can they get away with. I sincerely wish there was a way to squelch the press somewhat. They're bullocksing too much stuff in my opinion. I realize freedom of press and all but I really feel they're ruining the country.
Posted by dustbuffalo at February 20, 2009 08:26 AMI could see that point. I definitely think that the press is part of it. It's like a recipe gone bad. Corruption, politicians, a press focused on their ratings rather than the actual news and finally us citizens who don't care to act in enough numbers to make a difference. all parts of it... bad bad bad
