Smart, bold people needed ...

So badly needed .... smart, bold people who know the English language and are compassionate human beings. Case in point, Henry Marcopolus. Here is a person who was smart enough to call out the cheats in our society early on. It's no surprise that there are still a lot of them out there ... but some balance is needed in order for our society to continue to thrive. Those who have made off with funds that do not belong to them will have karma returned in due time. As with every event in history, it's very important that we learn from our mistakes - we are ALL responsible for our actions. If anything has been taught, it's that ... BE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR WORDS AND ACTIONS!

Obama strength......!

Watching Obama last night ..... Yeah! There is still someone smart, wanting to cut through the B.S. of politics as usual and get down to good and right business. Can't please everyone, but most ... Obama did "speak frankly and directly to the men and women who sent us here."

The United States is built upone a large group of people BELIEVING in a dream/goal/vision. This is our beautiful country filled with intelligent, hard-working people who want to believe. Jobs are where it's at ... jobs with income so people can start paying their bills, living peacefully and reinvesting in our free market economy.

Anyone who is questioning Obama's intentions are either living under a rock or are Republicans. This questioning coming out of 8 crappy years that have helped us get into this sink hole. Come to find out that they never budgeted for the war in Iraq!!!! UNBELIEVABLE. Quite the opposite of where we are now, just six weeks out of the inauguration. Obama is making more progress than the last administration could have ever dreamt about. There, in lies the threat to those people who question the intentions of a smart man. A leader who makes smart decisions for the entire country, not just for his cronies.

Living the backlash of the 1980's

A look back at the 1980's ... what an odd decade ... filled with decadence and Reganonmics ... a lethal combination that lead us to where we are today! Way too many Republicans filling important seats, making extremely important decisions for our culture. If what's happened in the last month has not said it all about how bought in Republican politician's are .... stalling to sign an economic stimulus bill that's going to DO SOMETHING for our sinking economy .... who can be more of a shining beacon of "loserness" to show that they're so "bought in" and manipulated by, yet, another special interest group! DONE WITH THOSE TYPES OF PEOPLE ... AKA .... SUCCUBUS!!!!

"Blogvertising"

"Blogvertising" is the new frontier for advertisers. Yet, the people are the ones that dictate what advertising will be viewed. Different from years past where the T.V. presented ads that agencies and focus groups spent millions of dollars on to find their niche market. Now, people do it for them online. People have a forum to place their opinion and voice their view. If many other people feel the same way or have similar interests in mind, then those are hot places to advertise.

Which leads to PayingPost.com ... a website to blog and find topics of interest to blog about. When advertisers see the connection, then some income can be made.

It's really an exciting new era ... go OBAMA!







The web allows all of us to pick and choose and be interactive with products and things that are of personal interest. The internet is democracy. People, especially generation X and younger are not accepting that they will be told by corporate America as to what their tastes are and what kinds of things they will buy. With the versatility of our modern age, simply by the clicks of buttons, advertisers can now see for themselves where the numbers really are.

blogging ... snapbomb

I am beginning to expand my horizons and my thinking about being online. There are so many resources! As the economy and our job sources have dwindled considerably over the last few years, we've had to explore new options. There are sites like snapbomb that allow people to earn some extra income while writing about subjects that they enjoy!

Writing has been a way to find an outlet without any outside pressure or stress put upon that creative source. Yeah for blogging!

Creative inspirations have usually been more visual for me .... sometimes at 3 A.M. I have had some of my best ideas come through. It's quiet at 3 A.M. Blogging allows all creativity to come through, no matter what time of day it is. I'm learning more about myself and what my interests really are. We can move forward with our motivation to continue to create and feel and prosper .... this is the ideal of our country. Obama's election night speech I have saved on my TIVO because it made me feel proud of our ideals. Watching the campaign unfold and turn into the success that it has become and will continue to be, despite all the imperfections of the people who help to make our ideas a reality, has been beyond inspiring and long overdue.

X marks the SPOT

What a time we're living in right now ....

Here I am again, all dressed up and nowhere to go. Asking my parents, the boomers, over the last couple of years for help. Coming to them with my problems, for the first time in my adult life. Being honest with them. As a kid, they would sometimes be "passive-aggressive and avoidant in spite of (their) best intentions." (Salon.com, Heather Havrilesky). I'm college educated and have never had a problem getting work and making a comfortable income. And now our country hasn't felt it this bad since the 1930's.




Considering what comes out of times like these; people become resourceful. The Xers "are far from over ...citing Gen-X icons like Quentin Tarantino and Jon Stewart, along with Gen-X triumphs like Google, YouTube, and Amazon, among others ... they might be the most unsung and influential generation of all time." (Time.com - M.J. Stephey)

Keeping our radar in tune has been our claim to fame. As part of the Xers, I've been given an opprtunity to find the balance between the past and the future.

X generation

As a person born in 1972, I'm considered to be part of generation X. We are children of the boomers, who didn't take no for an answer, EVER! And they expected us to do what they didn't necessarily get to do. Get a full education, get married, have kids, have the house and mortgage, and the cars and the pets, and the blah, blah, blah, blah. These things are all quite wonderful, but the last eight years have been completely non-supportive of these "right and correct choices" made by a generation of very educated and motivated people.

So what are we to do now? Yeah, for all of us that voted ...... and got someone with a functioning brain to lead our government and listen to the citizens .... go, OBAMA, go!!!

The drastic measures that my husband and family and myself have had to take in order to survive through this horrific administration have been unlike anything I could imagine happening to US citizens. Having no job support, and yet the government wants to give people more credit???? Isn't this how we got here in the first place? Isn't doing the same thing over and over again when it doesn't work considered to be "insanity"?

I know I'm venting. But our motivation to work and earn a respectable living in the wealthiest country in the world needs to be honored!
