What I could retrieve of a thought.

I've lost so many thoughts waiting for the computer. What was the reason for this? I'm tired of lots of things... I think it would be wise to not live somewhere where I'm not supposed to live. I gave myself until March, and it is now coming towards the end of April. Why do I let so much leeway for these empty promises? Why can I not bring myself to disrupt the 'lies' with the truth when it is for the good of 'many'? I would make an attempt at self proficiency, but I am not financially self proficient. I could try to find a place on my own, but so many factors come into play then. I would need my own transportation, I'd have to pay insurance, rent, for the car, food expenses, utilities... And that's if my credit didn't suck ASS... Thank you Pie. So any of my options would then be limited even further to; sharing a space with someone else, and living under the radar, as it were. How am I expected to make payments of a certain amount and live, if I only make a certain amount. And Why does the AI want to know my 'Success Story' if they had no hand in helping me after I racked up my bill to them? And it's anywhere but a Success Story. I want a home. I feel that if I could be sufficient, That Willy should go on without me. Yes that would leave me in WI for ONLY my job. And that seems retarded. I could go back to school. I could do something for business. I want the RMI business anyways... I should really write out my business plan for that. How can I write out a business plan? if I can't even think of a plan for my actual life? Oh bother!

What Qualms are there for the Standard?

Hello Blog world. I do believe it's been a short while. time passes slowly, and the weather, it does change. Heavy jackets are now getting ready to be stored away soon. and Rain gear is in heavy demand. Summer apparel will soon be flying off the shelves, and I will be buying close to none of it. Less than I was capable of purchasing last year. Granted; I know that I am in fact, still capable of purchasing the items, but I am boycotting them, which hinders me 'morally' from doing so. I've yet to be able to find sunglasses that are made in the USA. And the more I search for American made products the more I realize I'm not going to be able to be a 'cheap scape' anymore. On another note; same song. I was so very excited to find a hair product line which is made entirely in the USA. The company recently pulled all of their foreign manufacturing and is now only Houston based. Very exciting; since I'd already resigned myself to not being able to find any small appliances that were not, in fact, made in, say, China. I've also been able to find random articles of clothing in some stores that are actually fashionable which are made in the USA. But I'm still looking for sun glasses. And I will be in need of 'tennis' shoes shortly as well. There is much more to talk about; like the fact that I'm a member of management of a store that doesn't sell anything that is manufactured in the USA, and my qualms with that fact, or how I'm not sure about transportation now; or weather or not I can purchase something when it's only partly 'made' in the USA like; the fabric is made here, but assembled elsewhere or the fabric is imported but assembled here. If I were to make my own clothes I would have to purchase American made fabrics, NO? And then there's the whole electronics and appliances, and are there bikes made in the USA? How far am I willing to take this whole USA thing? What price (Literally) am I willing to pay for a principle? What price would you be willing to pay for your principles?

A tisket a tasket, to Hell in a handbasket

Being economically conscious comes in different ways to different people. For some people it means saving money; giving up some of their luxuries. For others it can be purchasing local/organic foods. Still for others it's simply not shopping in certain places; IE: Wal-mart. For me, I already don't shop in Wal-mart, I don't eat fast food, If I buy food; I purchase local and/or organic. I also don't have luxuries to give up. So any change at all would have to be a major/dramatic lifestyle change or something. I have decided that I am going to help our economy by purchasing American made products. I made this decision for several reasons. One reason is that ever since I found out that big business was moving their factories to other countries for 'more affordable' labor; I've been saying "America's going to Hell in a Hand basket." Because; if you take the jobs to another country, you take the jobs away from the Americans who had them, and if they don't have those jobs, they don't have that income, if they don't have that income, they can't purchase the products, if they can't purchase the products, the economy dies. Yes, I know it's a little more complex than that. But essentially; that is what happens over time. Like what's happening now. Another reason is to curb my own spending. This is kind of having a reverse effect on me though, all the products now available for me to purchase since making this decision, are more expensive. But I don't buy as many products. One more reason is that my Running Man Industries is going to be a completely domestic self sufficient company, from the raw (renewable) materials, all the way through production, design, marketing and distribution. RMI will also be an Eco friendly company. An Eco squared company, as it were, being friendly to both the Eco-system and the economy. All this to say; it's hard to find clothes and other products made exclusively in the US. And yes, that means we're on our way to Hell, in a hand basket.
