It amazes me how the same "Disease" can effect people in completely different ways, Not so much amazes, as much as baffles. It seems like there's a bug going around causing everyone to re-examine their lives, myself included, but at the end of the day we're all still at the same point we were before we started this self-inventory and we're no closer to finding a solution. What's worse is the ups and downs, I often wonder if I'm manic depressive, because the change in attitude is so abrupt I myself am even surprised when it strikes. Things...they just pile up, life is built out of not only financial debt, but what seems like emotional as well. I can take the time to try and get over one situation, only to find that I owe some other emotions to another sector of my life that I had either forgotten about or had just chose to repay at a later time. I'm glad there is no Contentment Collectors because if there were, I would definitely be receiving numerous calls from "Unknown". The way this emotional debt keeps stacking up, the more of a hole I feel like I'm being put in, it's as if I get out of one of them and as I'm standing someone tells me "Hey, we appreciate you dealing with that situation, but there's also this other thing you need to take care of." Then I'm pushed in deeper.

One thing that's annoying me is all the political debates going on everywhere. Radio. Work. Parties. Television. People act as if Obama is going to change the whole world, that in 4-8 years he is magically going to correct 50 years of economical damage and strain that middle class has been enduring. Do you realize we're middle class? Some of us would be even lower than that if we did not still live with our parents. I know if I lived on my own right now I would be on food stamps. It's not to say that because we're middle class we're not knowledgeable about issues, because I think this generation or at least people I know, are very aware of what's happening, but still how can you believe one man is going to revolutionize a system that has been in play for hundreds of years? I'm a pessimist in terms of societal change, I believe people can make the change, but we're all sitting and waiting for someone to make the first step. We're not leaders, we're hopefuls just waiting for the right person to say the right thing so we can all of a sudden grow backbones and say "Man, I've been saying we should do that for years!" Oh yeah? What steps have you taken to ensure this decision would be made? I mean the whole elective process is prime example of it, we find two candidates, listen to them talk for a couple of months, then decide which one of them gets the chance to be a revolutionary. Our whole society casts their votes on someone else to make situations better instead of doing it ourselves. There are plenty of people who are out trying to make a differences, I'm aware of this, but as a whole, our society cannot agree on ANY one cause to fix.

Global Warming-Doesn't exist
Dar fur-Doesn't effect us
Stock Market-I don't have stocks
Gas Prices-Oh well, they'll go up anyways
Abortion-Up to you
Taxes-"The only constants are death and taxes"

Depression? Recession? Oppression?
Anyone up for some PROGRESSION?
Guess we'll just have to see.
