Happy 09, Happy year of the Obama. Happy Year of the George Ectomy. We enter, not only a new year, but a new Administration and hopefully we might begin an upward spiral economically, morally, spiritually and emotionally.
IN 20 days, we hopefully will eliminate the CANCEROUS BUSH Legacy, that put not only America in the toilet.....but the entire world. THE greed and evility of CORPORATE MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX IS STAGGERING.....IT IS VERY SIMPLE, THE MID EASTERN WAR...WAS PLANNED FOR EXXON MOBILE, HALLEBURTON AND OTHER BIG COMPANIES. THE PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES MAKING TOO MUCH MONEY, WHILE PEOPLE DIE FROM NOT BEING ABLE TO AFFORD MEDICINES.. even though they get government grants to develope these drugs. And the sadness of untol thousands of people who areloosing their homes......while the government helps giant companies....with out tax money, but let individuals loose their homes and bsuinesses.....while CEO from this giant corporations..get Million dollar and more bonuses....and when BANKS were asked where the billions went that they were given for the BAIL OUT...they have no answer....THIS IS MADDENING..... and then MADOFF was able to steal 90 BILLION DOLLARS>..my GOD, he is not in jail......but living with a bracelet ...in his 100 million dollar apartment.....with his maids, champagne and fine food...THIS IS JUSTICE? They put a kid in jail for marijuana....or stealing something at the mall.But steal BILLIONs, they slap your wrist...AM I MISSING SOMETHING????
NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS? WELL, SINCE I DONT DRINK,SMOKE OR DO DRUGS.....I DO NOT HAVE TO PROMISE MYSELF TO STOP ANY OF THOSE....BUT I MIGHT TRY TO GET THE ENERGY TO LOOSE WEIGHT.....WOULD BE GOOD FOR MY HEALTH....AND TRYING TO FIND A GOOD CHARITY TO SUPPORT......
I( am going to try to begin writing my blog,k and bring it back...funnier, more eloquent, better written...and more filled with piss and vinegar, venom,humor, insights.....I think that there is a touch of depression running thru my veins, which sucks the energy and desire to write.
Tomorroe....we are having our annual JAN 1 NOSH_A_THON...we have a sale and feed gthe people......but even my creativity in the kitchen has taken the same road..as my blog....The energy to cook, the creativity of inventing new recipes, the balance of flavors, seem to emulate the same loss..as my writing my blog. AND so goes my poetry..as my blog and food goes...so does my poetry. I think that it has been a very long time, since I wrote my last verse... I think that I need a vacation...so I get my energy,and creativity back.
