Ongoing sporadic journal of the overeducated, and underemployed. The title derived from Coupland’s description of cubicle land; the corporate ghetto. Random photos and thoughts. Left the ghetto, never happier. This still a work in progress

You told me you been here before

You screamed and laughed as the engine revved and roared

I opened the throttle as you leaned into the night.

Now you look so lost

I thought you’d been here before

Rome 2 Millenniums’ later

I think we put off Rome, because after all it's history is a foundation of western civilisation. I had seen it in Fellini films and history books so often I didn't feel the need to actually see it. I could have not been more mistaken. The difference between seeing smelling and hearing it. Is the difference between kissing your lover and getting a text from her. Rome is an adventure being assailed by beauty and history at every turn.

Ghosts of the failed empire

It’s amazing to watch Rush Limbaugh, and Ann Coulter ranting in the parapets of a failed empire. They feel to realise an era has closed, and the pastor in chief W redeemed the legacy’s of Ulysses Grant’s and Richard Nixon, He holds the special title for incompetence and corruption.
Still it takes really big brass balls to hope that, there is a depression and an attack on U. S. Soil just to justify the crimes and abuses for the last eight years

bipartisanship- wake-up and smell the rancid treachery

bi-partisan ship is a trap President Obama,  these soulless  worshippers' of death and free markets seek to undermine you turn if it  cost's the economy going into a deep depression. They' re ideologues in truest sense. They have seen the light and heard the voices. Drop them like a bad habit ,they will never work with you, They do not care what the cost may be  the economic  viablity of the country itself.

really orwellian

I am watching a nearly a trillion being spent, with reports of of trillions of bad paper left. The people whoare charged with fixing are those who created this fiasco.
It's rather like in Animal Farm in the beginning when consensus was the pigs are smart,maybe they should be in charge.

the veal pen blues

May ex manager informs us tat it is inappropriate to be brassed  off about being passed over for promotion. How very maginamous of her to dictate what we should feel, as she supports the under qualified  in their rise over me. My mentor will give me lip service and tut tut . I hate the white collar ghetto. 

bail-out follies

I am watching millionaire's argue that other millionaires' should no have to live on a mere 500k ayear did the captain of the Titanic, or Valdez get a bonus? Pete Sessions Dallas TX GOP says the republican party should mount an insurgency "Taliban " Style" form a jihad against Obama  by all means cover your ass as the economy tanks.  Keep praying to the  God of free markets

Happy 09 rant

Happy New Year! We are rally hoping or a better one. It's been interesting  the primacy's were great theatre. I loved the  spectacle. I loved the fact that after electing Caeser Octaius(W)) not once but twice, that Caeser Tiberus( Mc Cain)  not elected to preside over the fall of the U.S.  even after adding Palin the "hockey Mom"millionairess populist I cheered for Obma and stayed up most of the night waiting or anoucement there's"a problem in Florida or Ohio."this never came and the world celebrated the return of free electionstothe U.S. 
I lived through a city with no power for 3 weeks  the aftermath of hurricane Ike.  I still wait for my  house to be made liveable. I will hope for a better tomorrow for all with all of my cynical heart.

5 year's later
Iraq still rages our pastor and chief and, the corporate thug co-fuhrer, declare success?!? Cheney being told a majority of Americans disagree , answers"so""
How about a little democracy  in the U.S.A. ? 20,000 wounded 4,000 dead American soldiers and Iraq civilians in the hundred of thousands  apparently not human so not counted by occupying forces.
      Mean while Obama gives a speech on the elephants in the room , race and religion. Very literate,such a contrast to the Bubba in chief.I find it insightful, and articulate.
     I work for a major finical institute, and I am Caucasian, and male. It seems after much travel,t seems there is nothing else in this country except "us  v.them" and you are  guilty by association.I am the "man" not so much because I am management but by the colour of my skin.
  Obama is correct a more perfect union is needed 

    
  
03.08-a crack in time
Just a little sting then a warm feeling
Count back from a 100
9o, 89
Morphine glides
To the
Junk centre
In my brain
86
You take my hand
I am waiting
You say
Tapping your high heeled toe
83, 82
and you kiss me
81, 80
And we are possessed
When awake you are gone
It is only a stolen moment- a crack in time
I return the lights too bright
You stay
Beautiful and faraway

It's been forever 60+ an hour weeks are taking the toll. Obama inspires me, and Hillary looks more like McCain each day. Stocks go ape shit and I wonder if I'll have depression stories to tell. I am off tothe veal pen.

in the bar next to place where my friend dances for men

tarred stain lungs I scream into the night

too stoned to notice

too lost to care
next to the bar where my friend sells herself
It seems my life is blend
of leggy blonde's nicotine schedule one drugs and excellent fictions
a glass of gin, and half a pack of cigarettes
I have become the person
My parents warned me about

justifying Iraq by using the “success” of Vietnam War. The mind boggles at what an idiot this man is as Karl “Gobbel's” Rove has resigned along with most of the inner circle rats from the sinking ship of lies failure and corruption. . The mind reels at the sight of this man actually thinks he get orders from God.

My friend is on stage Stevie Muree playing guitar. I am working hard talking to Judy and Jolene. I am talking our collective journey as hard as I can I am walking out in bliss the there of us passing bottle of crown Royal. Next a spiff is lit in the back of the SUV us rolling and playing. I am massively happy. I am sure how or why these things happen to me are just ecstatic when they do. I am just an average bloke in a pair of jeans and t-shirt, which seeks to save Africa .The women, are attractive and successful by the conversation we are having best friends, and middle management in different energy companies. I am ok , under employed and overeducated, I am sussing not their average fare. I also by the after in a luxury SUV three of us in varying stages of undress the embarrassed glances they may share much but this is the first time they’ve shared this. I am honoured and just silly happy in daze .
