It came True...

General
So remember awhile back when I posted a youtube video about the college bubble and the america economy turning to shit? Yeah... everything they said would happen... happened this morning... and now a unstoppable domino effect is taking place that will turn our country inside out... Poverty like you've NEVER IMAGINED!!
....
I've currently thinking about leaving the internet all together, I want to, to save money and to work more on my projects.... But...
I need the internet to stay plugged into the world, the REAL world to how people ACTUALLY think...
This is going to be the first real time I'm going to voice this... It's my own personal belief that the governement(or some kind of organization.) is running the world and manipulating us into doing whatever they want. I really don't want to get into it, because it makes me uncomfortable... But to me and my beliefs, I think that the internet is the greatest weapon we have against them.. and if I disconnect myself from it.. I don't know if it would be a good thing or a bad thing...
If I do disconnect from the Internet I'm going to give notes and ask anyone WHO I WANT TO KEEP IN CONTACT WITH for there phone number or some other possible means of communication... anything.. in this time, its important to reach out to everyone...
I understand that now, I've been trying to avoid people, but I can't do that it's not healthy; I need to learn to love people and want to be around them. Life is to short to be hunched over a desk and typing away at a keyboard looking up video's, porn, and learning about the world rather then expericning it....
I just hope everyone can respect the choice I make, no matter what it is..

Im not some crazy extremest when it comes to my beliefs and its okay for people to not believe what I believe. :)

long view when you look around at all the multiple clusterf***s
happening these days.
If what's going on now was as bad as what blew America apart
during the Depression, then yeah, I'd be spooked too. (I'm
assuming you're a Yank).
Then there was that decade where it looked like civilization itself
was burnt toast, garnished with the blood of slaughtered millions
and the ashes of destroyed cities (ie., WWII). A fun-riot, that was.
Second, check reeeeal careful about how and where you hear and
see your news. And your entertainment. And anything cultural.
You gotta study up on the subject to see it (I have), but we're
living in an *awfully* intense propaganda environment. Mostly
to sell us crap, of course. but there's a busload of garbage
beyond that.
No grand conspiracy unfortunately. Just a helluva lot of
people with more money and hidebound opinions than
brains. Think of a million mice nibbling away at the wiring in
our heads. A lot of them may even be pretty nice people, too.
Goody for them. Propaganda is toxic stuff. Tends to make
people depressed over time. Where did you say you're coming
from here?
Dunno if this boosts your optimism level any. But if you know
that your feelings and attitudes about life 'n everything have been
manipulated (they have), then it's a place to start in terms of
doing something about it.
Over to you...
FB.
the mark. Ie., that have you feeling like pulling back from things.
Given how crappy things look (or might really be).
It's taken me maybe 2/3 of my life, but I find myself with a writer's
PoV these days. And aware that it's damned easy for a writer's head
to get 'junked up' by everything, to the point where writing becomes
impossible.
Pulling back is actually one answer. Trying to fix [enough] of your life
so the stress level is lower: also good. Survive first, write second (I'm
not a good example).
Or there's an in-between: find or make some 'space' in your life
that's deliberately seperate, isolated to a degree from all the crappy.
You go there to write. And you close the door to everything but writing
This may actually be a physical location; whatever works. But every
writer needs 'a room of one's own,' to quote Woolf (if you know who
she is). Helpful, if not mandatory, to the sanity.
Not something many writers have barrels of in the first place (now I'm
a good example :- ) ).
As before, over to you...
