capitalism an economic system based on private ownership of capital [syn: capitalist economy] [ant: socialism]

My inner anarchist is weeping. The newly minted taoist in me finds it all mildly amusing, but completely insignificant.

I'm a little torn about this whole Blogshares thing. I have rearranged my homepage, and put the badges on my sites to stake my claim, because basically I am silly. I am also virtually rich, because the starting $500 turned into a cool quarter mil. I wonder if I would do better or worse if I read the manual?



!@#$%^&* Seyed! Next I'll have to claim my resume!

consequence Something that logically or naturally follows from an action or condition. The relation of a result to its cause. A logical conclusion or inference.

Part deux.

Ok, so in this past week:
I got a dream job starting in August;
I had a rather gushy accolade to my supervisor from a particularly pleased customer;
I found out that I can talk on the telephone for 10 hours straight (but I start to flag at about the 9 hour mark);
I now am able to store my stuff for free at Weasel's house;
I have brake problems (the front rotors have holes in them, and I have a leaking rear cylinder);
my best friend is AWOL;
and I have a severe cold.
All in all, the yin & yang have been balancing pretty well.

So, the consenquences have been:
giddy beyond belief about the job;
supervisor thinks I rock;
know I can put in serious overtime to get more cash for my trip;
i will be saving $35 a month on storage;
have to buy brake parts tomorrow;
just waiting it out, and hope everything is ok;
and chugging Robitussin and eating megadoses of vitamin C (trying to achieve acidosis, thus making my body inhospitable to the cold germs).
Woo, am I thirsty!

Big move is Friday, May 30. I still have a lot to do. I gotta get over this cold.

The subject facinates me.

This month, every aspect of my life has been in a state of flux (physics definition #5). Every choice I have to make affects one or more of these, causing this feeling of playing chess or some other strategic game, with the pieces being my friends, family, career, etc. The interesting, and perhaps sick part of it is that I am enjoying the game immensely. I have very definite ideas about the results I want, and right now, I appear to be winning.

(oh for god's sake, I gotta go to work - to be continued)

insight The capacity to discern the true nature of a situation. The act or outcome of grasping the inward or hidden nature of things or of perceiving in an intuitive manner.

I like the inward glances solitary exercise provokes.

Yesterday, I went to the key lake, and walked 5 miles (maybe more, it is 1/2 mile around, and I did more than ten laps, but I didn't keep exact count, I was too busy thinking) and contemplated my life, and the direction (or lack thereof) I was going.

(Note: I started this post several days ago, and being true to my nature, got sidetracked, and promptly forgot all about it. I think that is a telling sign of what my spirit animal is. I am a Whirligig Beetle.)
