I’m not ‘boring’. I’m English.
Dimming Lights
So I am not a huge fan of the news right now. It’s not that there is anything unusually horrible on it… it’s just so much less hopeful than usual. The world is coming to an end. Well, the money world. And it’s going out bit by bit – small country by small country, bank by bank, lights being switched off the main grid and then powered back up by generators of the IMF.
And, no, I don’t pretend to even vaguely understand it. It just makes me sad.
The world really is run by oil isn’t it?
It’s funny, while I have this storm in my head, and the storm outside is really getting into the swing of things, that the world is going through this quiet change.
Yeah, I really don’t know what I’m talking about. I’m sure it’s going to get real noisy soon.

Today felt weird. I was up early, burst into tears several times, felt more useless fat and rubbish than I have in a long time. I ranted about people for a long time about things I feel really strongly about and made me wish this was an anonymous blog so I could talk about them

A story has come to my attention that makes me want to laugh because of the ridiculousness and cry because of the ‘is that the way the world is now?’-ness of it. Basically, in Sweden a young boy has not been invited to a birthday party being held by another boy in his class… and

And no I’m not talking about the Monkey Wedding in India. Although, seriously?! 3,000 people showing up?! That’s a hell of a lot of sugared almonds… Or even the story about German police dogs being trained to wear shoes so that they don’t damage their feet on broken glass. Neither is about our Government’s announcement

Today was one of those days I hoped I would open WordPress and see a half finished post or at least something written in the Ideas draft that I always keep around, but no… nothing… My brain and I drifted apart for a little while and brainstormed (well, I brainstormed – my brain just… stormed…),

On a day when the biggest news in the UK is yet another almighty cock-up by our illustrious leaders, I have to say this – God, I am proud to be British. For those of you who haven’t watched the news, or who don’t live in the ‘best country ever’ this is a brief summary

The prophets had been saying this would come, but the rest of the world stood idley by and fiddled like Nero as the fires approached our own “Rome”. Now I begin to wonder who else is “right” that the powers that be have been trying to push to the side…..Global warming may be just as bad as they say, or maybe the talk of killer asteroids is not just talk…… I am beginning to fear……

Blondefabulous – sorry it’s taken a while to reply… I know exactly what you mean – conspiracies start to enter my head and I start to believe the unbelievable. The world is coming to a changr. It seems like a pipe dream that it could be for the good…

Oil is a major part of our lives. I know some things like plastic and asphalt require more changes and are not going to go away anytime soon, but alternative sources of fuel for transportation should be and should have been changing. Sad that we are here in 2008 and hardly any major dent into regular fueled vehicles.
