wtf awakening

So, this morning I awoke from a dream (and, fortunately, did not wake up to find myself dead - I'm not looking for Michael Jackson media stuff, but can that guy* please stop saying that!) and, with my wits emerging immediately from this dream, I had a thought: Oh, I'm awake here too. People in non-dream life can be awake too.

What the hey?



* Brian Oxman, who was the Jackson family’s attorney for 20 years, says he was afraid the pop star would die from misuse of prescription drugs. He told reporters outside of UCLA Medical Center last night: “I have warned that one day Michael Jackson would wake up dead, and that I would not be silent if that was the case, because of the misuse of medications.” I think this would be a wtf awakening also.

Full of peace. Just full of it!!!

You know how doves and olive branches are supposed to be symbols of peace? Well right now the branches of my olive trees are brimming with doves; I've been taken over! Peaceful symbolism as far as the eye can see!

But, they're not so peaceful. They're sitting on these olive branches and pecking the crap out of them: hack! hack! hack! They're grabbing at it with their beaks and yanking away, tearing bits off the poor ol' olive branch. It's all destruction and mayhem out there!

I think I may have found the reason why the world ain't so peaceful. We got the symbols wrong! I'm about to email the UN now to alert them.

As soon as I'm done shooting at these bloody doves...

RECESSION OBSESSION!!! (or: Look at me ignoring that this is my 200th post)

I think there may be some economic troubles about the globe lately.

Just a feeling....


Look. Sorry for the sarcasm but I'm just a wee bit jaded about all this economic crisis, recession, blah, blah, blah talk. I mean, as if it isn't enough hearing about it in every political and business news story, but now it's getting to be the new happening trend. I mean, it's infiltrating every kind of story. We're not only being inundated with advice on how to pinch pennies and go back to cooking the old fashioned and economical way, or to grow your own veggies at home, or even the stories about swapping your clothes with others' so that you all save money (and let's not forget the reuse your reuseables stories). What's really got to me has been how many article or 'news' story headings use the Recession/Economic Crisis as a theme. Has anyone else noticed this? Like it's trendy. And here I have my prime example from the latest Weekend Australian:

Prepare for cutbacks

is the giant headline in the...



...gardening section.



An article on tree pruning.




I just can't take it anymore...
