Well it’s October 2011, and my summer trip to the American southwest did not happen. I could not swing a trip this year because I had to move. Currently in the Chi-town area, and things are tight. Hell, it’s a bad economy and there are many that are in worse shape than me. Some people, college-educated with more advanced degrees than I are out of work and have been for some time.

Oh well, I suppose I will just hang around my new place, and possibly plan for next year in the desert. It’s a shame we have to rely on the almighty dollar to have some leverage to actually do the things we want to do. Some people think money are things, I feel money is time…free time to do the things you actually want to do and not to waste time doing things for an employer. However I am employed at an important job, the job doles out crumbs to me each two weeks. Another thing that I have learned in life is that you have to have something to do. You must keep active and do something or you will go crazy and depressed. So I work…like my father before me (a very hard worker). It would be nice to make a living at something creative, however you have to be very talented, and have something unique to offer the creative world to make a living at that idea.

So I sit here, and dream…hmm damn..have to go..time for work :-)
