The current economic crisis can be rather scary and demoralizing, but I offer you this bit of hope: The United States recovered from The Civil War and became even more industrious and prosperous at the dawn of the 20th century. Then came The Great Depression of the 1930s, and the monumentally glorious FDR years which took us through WWII, to victory, and to the unparalleled status of superpower. The U.S. has been through difficult times before; there’s no reason to believe we can’t survive this now right? EEK! Yes WAT, but we used to have real leaders back then and not all this rampant political corruption or tremendous debt. I’ll try and not to be a cynic about all this mess, and just pray/hope that this country will recover somehow. So what if we don’t rule the planet as the world’s supreme power after all this is said and done? I mean, the British seem to be doing just fine, even though the sun hath set on their empire long ago. Who would step up to the plate to lead anyway? China? I mean, please! So they recently hosted the Olympics and sent men to space this past week. Big deal! They still have tons of starving people, pollution problems, poisonous toys, and tainted milk! LOL! It’s okay America! We’re just too cool to go down in flames like this! After the entire government is revamped and cleaned out, we shall overcome and rise again! RIGHT?!
I’ve been hating the government all week, but now my wrath moves on to the executives in charge of these failed miserable banks and other financial institutions! How can these assholes walk away with these big fat paychecks after messing up their employees, the stockholders, and the American people in the process?! It’s just wrong I tells ya! To get rewarded so handsomely for doing a poor leadership job is beyond comprehension! Listen kids, capitalism in this form cannot persist. We’ve been fooled into believing that we can do whatever we want and that our dreams are achievable through hard work and determination, but it’s bullshit! There are tons of traps set up to make the common working man/woman fail and for supervisors and bosses to get all the glory and the nice paychecks! It’s not what you know, it’s WHO you know, and how good an ASSKISSER you can be to move on towards the top. How well can you blow yer boss' dick basically to get ahead! This has gone far too long, and now look at the mound of caca we find ourselves in! These CEOs need to be reprimanded, investigated, and arrested if need be! GREED is not good! NO!
O.k. Enough of my political socioeconomic ramblings. October is here! Halloween, my fav holiday is just around the corner! 1408 is a good creepy effective horror film! Give it a try! John Cusack is so underrated, but a consistently good actor.
Holy cow! I have never seen a more colorful, more fun concert in my life! Madonna! WOW! Live at Dodger Stadium last night! She started almost at 10p.m. which was quite a wait, but man oh man! The gay presence was in full swing man! My seats were pretty cool, a bit to the side, but I saw plenty with my binoculars, so it was great. And Britney and Justin both came out on stage (at separate times), but it was still a big thrill to see them both! 50,000 came out to see Madge, although the venue did not sell out, but the crowd was unusually responsive, which actually surprised Madonna! LOL! She was ecstatic about Obama's win and even went on to mention the shitty passage of Prop 8 which was a pretty cool stirring moment. I was amazed at how good her body looks in person, and the energy she still has! IMPRESSIVE! I have some pics, but they didn't come out that good.
And sadly, another Halloween comes to a close. Till next year sugarcube!
