My First Day Blog

O.K. This is really weird. I've never done this before so I feel like I have to be careful to not bare my soul. I was inspired by a very old friend (think elementary school) to set up my own blog.

Do I actually have anything to say? Well, I'm a good talker so maybe I do. I am still recovering from 20 BRUTAL years in the corporate environment, which has confirmed my disillusionment with human kind - or should I say - kine (think cows)? The next step is to rescue my poor husband from his own corporate hell.

Actually, we spent a good part of the weekend planting a veggie and herb garden; it's part of our "off the grid" plan. You see, we want to really "stick it to the man" and be self-sufficient. I already bake a lot of our bread from scratch and don't run out to buy the latest electronic goodies. Of course, if we had to slaughter our own meat, I'd have to go vegetarian. Also, you may have noticed that I'm using a computer. Call me a hypocrite...plus, I love restaurants...I love air conditioning...you can see I'm confused...

I have really noticed an unbelievable increase in the "me first" mentality in the last few years. Sometimes I wonder if I am living in my own bubble (a la BubbleGirl) and deluding myself into thinking that there are more than a handful of non-self-serving beings on the planet. I mean, really, when our very own IdiotBoyPresident BushBaby refers to his helping poor Guatemalan farmers load crates of lettuce as "the most fun thing, heh, heh, that I've ever done", who in the Hell does he think he's fooling? I'll bet he lifted one crate of lettuce, wearing gloves of course, with one of his "I'm a baby having a b.m. in my diapers" facial expressions. No wonder the local Mayan leader had to spiritually cleanse the sacred site that Bush desecrated with his very presence. Actually, this ties in nicely with the "kine" mentality. I think that most people don't think and just want to be told what to do. This is where religion comes from, although I do admire the rare people who actually practice their beliefs and treat others as they wish to be treated. I can count those on one hand.

Anyway, I didn't plan on a political rant and I'm probably being added to some government "list" as we speak so if you don't hear from me again, you'll know what happened.
