Down Up

My blog has become stale.  Let me sprinkle some salt flakes on it to liven it up a bit.  Put it in some moist air to get the starches separated.  Let it breathe a bit.  Ok shake it out, smooth the wrinkles and here we go.

I write to you from a dark place tonight.  A series of events are conspiring to prevent me from reaping the rewards of my new employment.  Namely bumps in the road.  In some cases literally.  So as I hit a flat tyre along the road of temporary poverty, let’s take our minds off the trouble with some happier thoughts.

The world is great!  We are a healthy, long living, ethnically diverse people on this wonderful planet!  Generally speaking we are at peace most of the time, and help one another.  We fly in giant artificial winged creatures, and we can connect to anyone in the world nearly instantly with the help of our science’s technology.  We are on average, a smarter people now than we ever have been, and we have even gone up into space.  In fact, we got tired of space!  We came back down because we are more interesting than anything going on up there!  We are a progressive people!  The world, since time imemorial moves pretty clearly on an axis from highly conservative to a more progressive state, slowly guaranteeing the rights of the underprivileged one stepping stone at a time.  There is less indentured servitude in the world right now than there has ever been in the past!  We are coming to terms with the effects of modern society on the physicality of planet earth!  Every day, more people become energy conscious, and make genuine efforts to secure the health of the planet for the generations yet to come.  People, on the whole, are better now than they have been and that new standard gives us even higher expectations for the future.  Which we will rise to meet.  I’m sure of it.

So let’s all take a step back from oil spills and racist celebrities to just pat ourselves on the back for a job well done.  Maybe get a sip of coffee and a biscuit.  Its easy to forget you are entitled to one lunch hour and two fifteen minute breaks when you look at the workload we still have to get through.

You hang in there also, my friend.
