Kansas Mediocrity

Alrighty now....test, test.....is this thingy on?

Where in the hell have I been?

In a nutshell, working seven days a week, that is until the great crash of '09! Yep, man things were booming. Made more money than I ever had. Where did that get me? Well, I'm back blogging so obviously I did not graduate to independently wealthy.

Actually, I'm sure my story is typical of millions of others all around the world. A perfect reflection of the boom/bust cycle we call CAPITALISM. I worked for a wealthy man who owns several businesses, and was treated quite well, right up until the bust. After Christmas 2008, when the giant crap shoot we call Wall Street fell like a house of cards, so did the incoming work. I mean it just fell, day by day while I watched and waited....for the inevitable. Termination. I knew all along that this hyper-consumerism, over-valued stocks, easy credit, etc....

All of this had to come to an end. It just had to. A system where the rich get richer while the poor spiral into even deeper poverty, well, it's just not sustainable. I don't want it sustained, it's nonsense, there's no real wealth at all. Okay, it's late and I've rambled on long enough. All I really need to say is I'm back, for any and all who care to meet here for conversation. I'll leave you with some words from a man I always admired.
