Who We Are

We are who we are. Nothing can change that. Why then does society spend so much time trying to be something they are not? You spend a detrimental numbers of hours looking at yourselves through the mirror of society. I'm too fat. I'm ugly. I'm too short, too tall, too old, the wrong color, sex, orientation... You are who you are on the inside and nothing outside should be allowed to change that. Yet you listen to them. They mold your thoughts, warp your mind into their profits. You look for acceptance from others when the most important opinion comes not from outside but from within. You will not be happy until you come to terms with yourself. A new car won't fix your problems, nor will the new jeans, haircut, friends, location... To be happy in life you must first be happy with yourself. Don't let others tell you that the content of your being is worth less than the content of there's. The scum that is society feeds on the weak. The weak only become so willingly; the strong do not choose to be weak. No one controls the content of your character but yourself. Use it well, it's what makes you strong. It's your life preserver wading through society's Machiavellian Wasteland.

Well I just wanted to mention a few things without cluttering up space.

I set up this blog as a vent for a ranter and his like. Though I primarily created this page for my own reasons, feel free to comment or post something of your own. Talk about anything you want. Nothing is taboo here. Feel free to vent.

But I digress, the purpose of this blog was to create sanity in a sea of insanity. I don't judge; I don't discriminate; I don't hate. If you follow these principles you can write whatever you want. If you write hate I will delete it. But otherwise, have fun.

My Last

 My previous post was found as a blank page in draft form this evening.  I found the existence of it to be rather poetic.  So I published it blank as is over a year later.  Seems fitting to be honest.

Reagan, Deregulation, and the Fruit It Now Bears

President Reagan had an idea about how the world should run. He deregulated Big Business. That is, he removed the restrictions put in place that kept companies from cheating. He removed, primarily economic oversight. He said that it was unAmerican that in this capitalist society that such oversight, such restrictions should exist. To him, these concepts flew in the face of that illusive, figmentary idea we like to call freedom. He wanted Big Business to have the freedom to do what it will and believed that in doing so, said companies would check themselves. They would check themselves because it was in their best economic interest to do so. Yet, what he didn't realize is that what was in the best interest of Corporate America could be unknown to Corporate America itself! That Big Business could be akin to a compulsive gambler who as they fall further and further into the hole panic and begin making riskier and riskier bets, thus then subjecting themselves to even more debt ...

36

Navigating life into your mid and eventually, ugh, late 30's is much different than your mid/late 20's.  Artificial time limits that we impose on ourselves for many of life's milestones seem increasingly close and their goals seem increasingly distant as the years tick forward.  It is important however to remember that these milestones are not actually set in stone.  They take work.  Sometimes a lot of work.  And they don't have an actual timeline. In my 20's I believed by 36 I would be married to a good man.  Have a family.  A career.  A home.  And that things would be, in all, pretty decent.  All the hard work of my early 20's would pay off and all of these milestones would be reached.  But of course, we're all a little naive about these things.  We have emotional responses to them which sometimes cloud logic. Three years back, I was in a relationship.  I had a good paying job.  And, as should come as a surprise to ...
