So I'm back to work, and I have spent significantly less time focusing on the doom and gloom in the world this week. My new place in the opinion biased blogosphere will now be limited to the weekends. This limited edition will have benny's to it!
#1. It's only once a week, so I'm not constantly bombarding you with my Facebook posts.
#2. Refer to number 1.
So I go back to work, and now the United States is getting ready for war #3...... Anyone that thinks we are not taking the lead here is sorely mistaken. The media will say we are not the lead, but who will be advising the "French"? Yes I said the French...France I guess is taking the lead here, and this will be fun! Wi wi in their pants if the US was not right behind them, is what the French would do...sorry France, but it is true!
The United States is broke, we have no more money! Our government borrows $5,000,000,000 a day to operate, and if we are in full on battle mode in 3 countries that will add more money to our already overworked over stressed economic system. It also puts more brave men and women in harms way, and do not forget about innocent men women and children in the wrong place at the wrong time which right now is ( Afghanistan, Iraq, and now Lybia).
On to situation # 2 Japan! Japan is dying right now.... Millions of people are dying right now, and they do not even know it. The earthquake, tsunami and now "Meltdown" are the immediate dangers, but the "radiation" is the real problem here. Not just the radiation in Japan, but the fact that it is circling the globe in the jet stream. If you believe Fox and Cnn ABC etc...when they say there is nothing to worry about , then hit the snooze button in your brain, and go back to sleep. The real gauge of the radiation will be visible in nature. When there is a unexplained die off of animals, that will be phase 1. Phase 2 will be the human toll. Pray to God ( even if you do not believe in God) that this meltdown is controlled and soon. By the way, there will be a significant earthquake today tomorrow or Monday.

What could possibly be next
As I head back to work for the first time in 2 years, I can't help but wonder what will happen next? Over the last two years I have read alot, become involved in the news. Been a teacher of my kids, and been a student of reality!
Nothing I did ever in the 36 years prior to my layoff, could have prepared me for what happened in years 37 and 38.
I learned a whole lot about parenting, I learned a whole lot about the mental highs and lows of being unemployed. I learned a whole lot about the world, from politics to the economy. I learned how to deal with the death of one of my heros, and I learned alot about myself.
As I start this next chapter in my life, I am extremely skeptical regarding the length of this chapter. Instead of a chapter, I wonder if it is more like sentence, or paragraph I will be experiencing. I say that because as I walked into those interviews, I had no expectations either way, and as I start my employment tomorrow the same remains true. I went from being a know it all egomaniac in my teens and 20's, to a eager learner, and overacheiver in my late 20's, early 30's, to a realist in my late 30's.
I say I am a realist now, because I believe that some things just happen, some things are designed to happen, and some things are not meant to happen.
I woke up one day a few years ago, and I cannot go back to sleep. It's like the Matrix. Once you see it for yourself, you can't unsee it.
Our world is a wonderful diverse planet, filled with beauty and pain...the ying and the yang if you will. Which one are you?
As the scene in Japan continues to unfold, and the unrest in the middleeast continues, our fragile (extremely broken) economic system is starting to show inflation....the big dog on the block remains the price of fuel, and I'm watching that carefully! Every industry relies on oil and gas, and if fuel keeps going up, while housing prices remain stagnant...I will find myself home again, this time with some extra cash in the bank. Just because I am returning to the land of paying more taxes, and Obama's wicked funny definition of wealthy does not mean I'm still not going to be blogging in my brain, it's just now you won't have to see what I think about everything.

The end of the world happens everyday
It's not 1984 nor is it Y2K...it's not 2010 space Odyssey, nor will it be 2012! The end of the world happens everyday, everywhere in the world.
Everyday as technology increases and changes (ends) how you lived or did something yesterday your world has ended. As religions around the world preach and teach peace and tolerance, the extreme wing of all religions seek to end the way the peaceful live. As governments that started with the best intentions for their people get bought off and become extreme our world ends!
It may be an asteroid or earthquake, or even a super solar storm that extinguishes all life on this planet, but in the meantime can we just leave each other alone?
As the middle east goes through their geopolitical morphing, the extreme elements of Islam are seeking their ascension into power here in America. From calls for Sharia law, to protests for Muslims, with the leader of Nation of Islam Louis Farrakhan calling for President Obama to not fire on protesters and to allow Muslims to march in America. I cannot be the first to say this, so let me be whatever number person I am to get this out there. I respect all beliefs, I might not agree with you on all of them, but I at least respect your decisions of who and how you worship! I respect those that choose not to worship, and I respect those who just exist. Why say that you want the president to not fire on the protesters? Are you planning on something violent, that would lead to police intervention? I do not understand!
I also do not understand how a citizen of the UK ANJEM CHOUDARY can plan to come to America, and stand in front of the White House to lead a demonstration promoting Sharia Law in a country that he is not a citizen of. To make things worse, there is a counter protest being organized against this for the same day. Will this lead to violence?
If people choose to be Muslim good for them, if people choose to be Jewish good for them, if people choose to believe in aliens, and ghosts, and everything else they believe in around the world, then just let them be.
Why are people hell bent on ending my world or your world, just to try and build up their world? We are currently living in this world together, so pretty please with a cherry on top, can we just act like it?
