obama vs. harper

Sheeeite!! day two and trying to stay on top of all this writing! talk about needing to work hard.

here it is at the end of a long day and trying to get a few thoughts down before I head to bed and keep reading about Barack Obama's interestingly varied life. The more I read the more faith I have in what he may bring to the table. It certainly seems that he has been put through his paces on trying to understand not only the racism question, but also many personal questions and life questions. Not through doing the same old usual steps, but through his personally derived, and self-generated quest. When feeling that something wasn't right, or if there were ome possibilty or opportunity, he would take a look, take his chances, try something different, move somewhere new, open up a new perspective, in order to not strengthen a point that he had been served, but to develop greater onderstanding of himself and those around him by strengthening his experience and knowledge of everything. outside of his very polished writing style, he is very much a denizen of this lonely planet and is not afraid to both try things and admit that he has tried them. In fact, I recommend this for anyone that wants to truly understand what position that anyone may find themselves in. if you have never been drunk, how can you really know what it feels like. if you have never been descriminated against, how can you understand the emotions linked to that position. if you have never had to work from the bottom up, how can you understand what it takes to be a person trying to survive, even in the strongest economy in the world.

i'm impressed by him and endeavour to carry the hope that he has inspired in his fellow countrymen. it is far greater than what is currently occurring in Canada right now. I don't think that anyone has been inspired by our current leader of Parliament. stalling the whole process the way he has now, unable to articulate the correct position that the Speaker of House holds, incorrect about the facts of events and spouting off about them incorrectly and repeatedly is really a huge embarrassment - and a small part of even further proof of the inappropriateness of his appointment as the so-called leader of our befuddled country. If he really had belief in himself, and knew that he had the most pro-active position to move forward with in Paliament, there would be no question of stalling, there would be no question of waiting for the inevitable in the New Year. He would just get on with it now and everyone would believe in him too. But, as he has no integrity, or the character that follows with that personal virtue, he is now into playing the same, if not worse games than the so-called illegal coalition. what he seems to forget is that the opposition parties were also elected to parliament and if they so choose to work together to make a government, then they have every legal right to do so. if the hapless conservatives knew how to work with others and play their cards correctly, they would not find themselves in a position of only being able to sling more arrows across the floor of the commons. but with a puny leader that stephen harper has proven himself to be, the conservatives continue to live in a huge bubble of delusion that there is no bottom to their ever-upward mobile economic ways.

anyway, i'm getting lost in a world that is now on "harper-hold" and is not much worth talking about until much later. so back to the boook......

virgin posting

whoa! I'm an actual blogger now!! what a revelation - becoming part of the on-line community of writers and diarists, sending thoughts and stories out in the netherworld of the internet.

Now I gotta figure out what is going on and what to say. too bad I can't just hook a flash drive staright into my brain and download thoughts and all the crazy dreams that I have on a nightly basis. I guess this is going to be much more work than that - as are all things in life!

I would start there in fact. how much work it is to exist in this fantastic universe. there is no letting up, no cruising, no passing time, if one is going to get the most out of their time here. it is a constant effort, no matter what position you have, where you are born, what you make in salary every year, what you have been given to start with. we keep looking for that golden ket where we get off and don't have to do anything to survive. where we get a free pass and a lay-z-boy chair to sit in a get served our tv dinner while we watch the latest re-runs of our favourite shows.

I think the greatest difference would be made if all people were to understand the basic precept that we need to WORK while on this planet - actually, if laziness were banned altogether!

anyway, there is so much that could be said on this one little subject (or seemingly little subject) that I won't be able to cover it all here on my first post. I look forward to trying to combat all the aspects of this commonly accepted disease that has not been studied for a cure. If there was an acceptance pill that people could take to understand what it takes to be a full human being on this planet, from the effort it takes to stay healthy without damaging the planet, to how hard it is to come up with new ideas and positions and communicate these successfully to other peoplem, then we might be much further ahead in creating a planet where all humans could exist in a more peaceful, healthy and happy condition than we currently do.

more soon......
