One Day In The Life Of Mr Perfect

   


We all know a Mr Perfect...

Capitalism is DEAD !

We in Britain pride ourselves on being a modern Capitalist society. We have jobs, we work and invest our money in property and the likes. We borrow to push our lives forward, and hopefully make ourselves self sufficient by then owning the homes we live in. This is an ideal after all. This work and earn, then invest mantra is the very soul of our Western outlook. The truth however is that this country of ours, and our personal finances ect are steeped in Socialist ideals. Right wing people neednt mock " old fashioned Socialism " running amock. In fact we live by their ideals of economic and social tinkering. Aggressive free market economy ? You've got to be kidding me ?

The biggest argument for Capitalism is that it works and is self regulating. Its the healthy strong free market. Things find their own level - supply and demand. We live by our own efforts. Why its the only way to go. The system delivers after all. Period. So is that why we still have a 76 billion deficit to borrow every year ? That's the short fall that must be borrowed each year to keep our country running to the standard we require. Our taxes cant produce this money. The free market economy cant. No, we must borrow to prop up our comfortable society and keep it running to the standard we all require and expect  -  SOCIALIST  THINKING !!

At least our careers and private lives are free from that old subsidised Socialism, right ?  We work. Were not benefit scroungers bleeding the country dry after all are we ? We pull our weight, or do we ? Even the holy grail of the work and wages have been subsidised in a 1970's manner. Many of us claim Tax Credits from our government  to top up our earnings when they dip. Lets just think about that. Large monthly amounts of money that are paid into our bank accounts to boost our wages !! Even the Capitalist holy grail of work and wages need subsidising  - SOCIALIST THINKING

Ah, our houses. Mortgages paid by our wages. An investment in the Capitalist system that will deliver for us all. Watch and weep Socialist dinosaurs !!  Well even this bastion of the free market has been subsidised. As prices have risen too high due to the free market ( stop laughing ) the government ( yeah, again... ) is now lending first time  house buys their deposit. This deposit was a cash one once. The thinking being it was a way financially proving you were reliable. An essential Capitalist measuring tool. The free market self regulating. Now the housing market has risen even more due to this lending. Free housing market ? Rubbish, yet more - SOCIALIST THINKING

Finally lets look at Banking the City. Surely the pinnacle of Capitalism and the free world. The biggest financial engine that symbolises all the West stands for. A rampart free market that makes billions. Capitalism personified right ? Er, they would have laughed you out of the room if in the 1980's if you told them eventually this system would need bailing out to prevent collapse. Yes, subsidising the very bed rock of Capitalism and the free market because the figures just don't add up well enough, and its incompetent, corrupt ect,,, More than anything else this is the most shocking example of " banana republic thinking "  TRULY A  TRIUMPH OF SOCIALIST THINKING  !

And Temperatures In Some Parts Could Reach...

Just how did it happen ?  We now have an emotional investment in the weather. You think I'm joking ? Well worse still we have an emotional investment in our weather forecasters too, and they are all to quick to rise to the challenge...Once our weather forecasters were middle aged and male. They solemnly forecast the coming weather and only occasionally mentioned high temperatures being noticeable. There was no adding a few degrees on in the Spring time, no silly whimsically looking ahead to Summer during Winter months forecasts. The weather was a mundane subject. It was not sexy. I present to you Ian Mcaskill  !

                                                       


    Today we have the weather  " girl ". Top quality ? Good ass and trim figure, and the ability at anytime to whore herself out to produce ever increasing temperature projections, particularly on Weekends and Bank Holidays. Being a not very sunny country we lap it up every time, and ask no questions. I mean why would we ?
  The honest truth is we equate the Sun with being content, and picture its presence as a goal or an ideal. Foreign holidays have not helped this concept at all, as again the Sun is aligned with not working and leisure. If the sun is shining then all is deemed as well. Our forecasters just cant help themselves when getting in on the act. They are all to obliging in prostituting their forecasts for our coming weather, and for that reason they have lost any respect I once had for them. See, there is even a film made about it...

O.K , maybe this scene is a generalisation, as the business man will have created wealth for the company... even if his bonus is / was excessive. Still I find this wickedly amusing.

Three - The Pony #DancePonyDance

 

We are all one trick ponies on line...just why we all reduce our selves to caricatures I don't know. We all resort to type when we don't have to speak to people face to face. I dont know if this is good or bad ?

Tanith Lee - NIGHTSHADES

" He took her pulse; her flesh was cold. She seemed entirely too relaxed, relaxed to an extraordinary degree, as if drugged. Peering into her eyes, he was reminded of an Oriental belief that women have no souls. Discouraged by this idea, which sprang from racial memories he at times attempted to suppress in himself, the doctor packed up his bag and perched beside her, with his prescription pad..."   

T'pau - China in your hand

  

One of my favourite songs from back in the day. I post only as I hear several people at the moment are obsessed with women. Call it a friendly warning...

Whatever happened to vampirestats.com   ?

Equality Is Not A Natural State !

Equality is a particularly modern idea. Of course its unachievable, and a totally un-natural state. All life that I see competes to further its own ends. Some win / some lose. Its brutal. Unfortunately this is the way of the world. Further more this is why I distrust many pressure groups. They constantly change the goal posts, as you give ground and adapt your thoughts or behaviours for them. They don't want equality-they want dominance ! Can none else see this ?

No, bit I wish it was...

Surely this must be automotive perfection  ?

Did I mention it has a broken engine, no ?    You've gotta love cars...

There Are No Wrong Answers

Its true that we must have a level playing field when it comes to rating different peoples beliefs. Why should an African in a jungle be any the less worthy of respect than someone who is Church of England. We dont understand how other primitive religions work. In fact we understand nothing at all about them, or the environments in which they thrive. To class them as just hocus  pocus is the height of arrogance, surely ?

Donnie Darko Fear/Love Classroom Scene

Im hanging around at the moment on a facebook themed page that contains more than a few new age types. These people often equate much of what we do or say ( if they dont like it ) to fear. This reminded me of a clip from one of my favourite films, that points out the glaringly obvious over simplification of such ideas.  If only life were so simple...

Two Paces From Death

This week Im lucky to be alive, to be quite frank. A large oak branch fell without warning as I worked under a tree. The branch had broken, but was still attached to the tree trunk, so the other end hung near the ground. Normally branches like this are very strong, but as I trimmed it I heard a huge crash behind me as it fell without warning. Had I been two paces to the left there is a very good chance I wouldnt be here to write this blog today. You never see it coming.... People say chainsaws are dangerous, but I think what youre cutting is a bigger danger. Trees under pressure are unpredictable. Life is fragile.
