Heading Home

So, isn't it great, vacation, time to head home. Of course,this is if you want to head home. To me, home is where the heart is and my heart is here not there. I say a lot of things about my family that many wouldn't believe, in essence that I can't stand them. Let me just say that if after 18 years of living with my family you don't end up as messed up as me I'd consider yourself more than lucky. I've heard all the replies. They can't be that bad. You're just saying that. You don't really mean that. Don't I? I'm happiest when I'm away from them. My motto for life is if you haven't guessed by my chosen log in name is "Fly Free Forever". In my mind, the place I can best do this is here and not there. If it's cold for me not to miss them, to cringe at the thought of entertaining them for the next week, then so be it. I don't care. You haven't lived my life. If you know me you know that I don't like being controlled and I don't like being toyed with. So know this, in the next week while everyone else is having fun with friends and family, perhaps in an exotic locale, I will be at home trying to escape from the stupidity that is my home life.

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 ...
