I was just flexing my mental muscles, I don't really care about politics that much. I'm gonna make it regardless of who is in office. I might be as a criminal, mind you, but I will be a very sucessful, and happy criminal. And you won't catch me blaming anyone else if things go wrong.
I really do feel for you and your neighbors and your Mother. I honestly do.
I still don't think that "we" are in a depression.
And I don't feel even a little bit sorry for Big Bankers' losses. (since you mentioned being selfish, I doubt WaMu gives a rat's left nut about you or your Mom)
Plus, I didn't vote for Clinton, so please don't blame me. Since you brought up ignorance, I might point out that economic recessions, and depressions take more than just a little while to develop, and the "ignorant" folk like to blame whatever President is in office, jump on the Democratic Dogma Bandwagon, and eat whatever garbage the Media feeds them, because they are too lazy to think for themselves.
Furthermore, I would like to add that one of my closest friends owns a Sheet Rock Business, and he does business as usual. Also, I made lots of acquaintences in your line of work, when I worked for him years ago, and they all seem to be doing fine. So maybe, just maybe, your building business has some problems that have nothing to do with the economy. Just sayin!
By the way....narrow minded folk, resort to name calling, because they're to st-st-st-stooopid to say anything meaningful.
You don't speak for me, nor my attitude. Frankly your assessment of my comments is flawed.
As far as I am aware there is not a decrease in our Gross Domestic Product, hence no recession. Not only am I doing well, but everyone I know here in Texas seems to be doing alright too, and I'm happy for them, happy for me, and happy for my nation.
The people I see around me seem to be getting on as well as ever. Since the classic definition of a recession is a decline in the gross domestic product for two or more consecutive quarters.
The thing is that Clinton and Reno made it a requirement for banks to give loans to citizens with a low socio economic status. So now the mortgage banks are in a recession, because they wagered that these people would not be able to pay their loans, and bought them with the intention of making a profit off the homes they acquired through default. Then the housing prices started to fall, and they lost their wager, not to mention the statistic that 97% of Americans pay thier mortgage on time.
I'm in the oil and natural gas business, and it is booming with no decline in sight. Maybe buy yourself a few wells instead of homes.
Remember when I told you how we often use the restroom outside. Well here's another funny story about that...
I made pee pee on the ground near a truck. Then this guy came by, and I stood there looking at the puddle with a curious look. I stopped the guy and said, "Hey, what is that? I think this unit is leaking coolant."
You know how dudes are sometimes know-it-all-Mr. Fix-its? Yeah? Well he squats down to dip his finger in it and sniff it. (It's the standard fluid on the ground test). Anyway, I stopped him before he actually did, but Dang it that's funny!
Hey, Journal if you try that on somebody, you better not say that you got the idea from me!
I had a hunch that depression might be an issue for you.
That is a great start by the way the music thing.
Another thing that I do is pay careful attention to my posture. If you deliberately monitor your body language, the effect will be two-fold. Your subconscious will get your brain to secret the feel good chemicals that go along with strong confident posture. And, you will notice that other people will respond to you more positively, and that will help you feel better too.
Bear in mind that any person can pretend to be something they're not, but they won't be able to keep it up indefinitely. Go ahead and feel good about the guy if that's how you feel. Just take it slowly.
Want to know an easy way to have fun for hours? Grab some superglue, and a quarter, then follow me to the mall. Okay...all we have to do is put a little dab of supeglue on the quarter, then we discreetly stick it to the floor. Now we just sit over on that bench, and watch people try to pick up the coin. This is hilarious Journal, trust me. You'll be amazed at how badly some people want that quarter.
RE: ARE WE in RECESSION ??
G'night

Even the recessed ones.
