Time Spent

For the last couple of months, as I have previously described, I have been dreadfully busy. I'm not going to describe it again so as to not bore you too too much. Suffice to say, it's been interesting. I had been planning to talk a lot about my student teaching. But I never got the time to do that. I'll get to it hopefully this summer as more of a reflective piece. We'll see. I also wanted to do my ranting thing that I find joy in, but haven't had nearly enough time to do that, as you may have seen from the quality of my postings over the past three months or so. Oh well, you'll live and so will I. Regardless, I do intend to think up some more stuff soon... One I will talk about is the value we place on intelligence and the ranking of intelligences. Also, I want to take a look at certain areas that we are woefully forgetting to teach our children about. And, likewise, a rant about drug policy. But, that's for later. Also, in many respects, I have taken to less grammatically stiff prose. So be it. Forgive me for my sentence beginning buts and ands and so on. You'll live, and so will I with a sentence fragment or two as well. At any rate, I'm finding ways to budget my time better and with the extra time I'm forcing into my schedule, I'm going to find something relaxing to do. Fuck knows I need it badly. I don't know what form that will take, but it will certainly not be sleep, although I would like more of that as well. I have an idea, but like I said, we'll see what pans out. In short, since I've figured out the aforementioned (in the last post) I'm going to fix a few mistakes and right a few wrongs and see how far that gets me in terms of happiness. We'll see. But for now, never let things get you down, live your best life regardless of its length or starting point or whatever, and always always always FlyFreeForever.

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 ...
