Sometimes art says it best. Ok, my self-made, Xtranormal app cartoon falls way short of art, but it does say a lot!
The Plot: A visitor from planet "We are All One" visits planet "Greed" hoping to warn a citizen of planet Greed "before it is too late"
Below the squiggle is a short attempt to share why I don't write anymore. Sigh! Love the work you are all doing. Thank you very much!
Enjoy.
My excuses for not writing anymore:
1. You are all doing a great job! So many have stepped up that there is little need for addition.
2. After spending years to produce over 900 diaries, I feel tired and depleted. Little has changed, even worsened.
3. Aging. OMgosh, I'm 66 now! I developed painful Iliopsoas Syndrome from sitting cross-legged in front of the computer for too many hours at a time. As an aside, I think many have this problem and could avoid hip replacements by watching these videos and doing the exercises daily.
4. I'm so angry I can barely focus. There isn't an aspect of American life that isn't a total piss off anymore. Where is the hope? Where is the change for the better?
Like millions of Americans, they call what I have a job. It's not. It's a sadistic, cruel joke. Since hired, I've averaged between 16-24 hrs a week, never know what days I will work, and the co-workers are mean-spirited, mostly passive-aggressive, and sometimes hostile. Management is lost in space. I earn less than I paid my employees in the 1980s, but am lucky at my age to earn more than minimum wage ($9.11 an hour....really! 911. It's Kroger's way of a joke I think). And, I need the physical exercise. So, I get paid to exercise. 8 hour shifts standing up, have lost 15 lbs in 2.5 months. GO WOE! lol
Wages fall, prices rise,
education is eroded,
higher ed is a Wall Street toy, and
the political process is nothing more
than a divisive, corrupted ploy.
Living the Dream.
Keep up the good work, Kossacks.
Oh, I want to thank the greedy rich bastards and the zombie bureau/technocrats that serve them for collectively, mindfully, and systematically destroying our planet, our health, even our lives. You are collectively doing a 'heck of a job'.
Please frack my back yard, I need the income.
While you are at it Richie Riches, frack you, too!
Ouch, time to stop sitting.
Peace out.
