Polarization
There is something about the sitting with the cat, a fresh cup of tea and a plate of buttered toast, while dividing my attention between Coronation Street and watching the fresh snow out the windows. It is so very soothing and ritualistic.
However, whenever it snows like this I always have to think about the people who don’t have homes. It seems like there are more and more and more of them on the planet. That just sucks. It’s getting so very crazy out there and I wonder how it is that so far I and mine have remained relatively unscathed. Much of my energy is focused on trying to avoid homelessness. But for so many of those people all the plans in the world could not have prevented it. They are pawns and /or victims of the powers and it’s as if they never mattered at all. Just collateral damage.
How long before you and I become just collateral damage?

I know I got alot of my isolating tendencies from being other people's houseguest for long stretches as a kid.
And it's why I don't like to work less than sixty hours a week now.
I'm really thinking about leaving the midwest.
Hmm... where are you thinking about?
I have to live somewhere where the bugs die once a year. I'm just freaked by some bugs.
Uncle Bunny wants to move to Hawaii, can't blame him there. But they do have those big flying roaches.
If there were enough pros I might be able to live with such a con.
It does seem stupid to let a phobia decide something as important as my future.
Even though I love Seattle, I'd avoid the west coast, I have a really bad feeling about their future.
Portland, Oregon.
Seattle sounded nice before Boeing left so many people unemployed.
I hear it's really, really nice there. Can't beat a temperate rainforest in my book, which is why I've always thought about the Seattle area.
I think this guy is in Portland. When he's not being serious he's really funny. He has these zines where he writes (mostly) witty letters to mega corporations and sometimes they reply.
He also talks about the alternative culture around there a lot.
