Motivation through spirituality

Hello folks. Many of you may not know me, in fact, I am slightly disjointed from this community. However, I always have this nagging feeling, like "I really wish I spent more time on Matt's Arumpahpah: gardyloo! thing.

Every month or two, I will get exited about it, and start thinking of things to blog/rant/expunge from my mind on to the webverse. I will go through past posts and enjoy the talent, but eventually I will be bogged down by the immensity of the catching up I have to do. Soon rapid firing brain will move on to the next tantalizingly fun idea. Without finishing here my mind moves in a never ending cycle of zipping from idea to idea, without any completion.

Well finally I came to this realization, with help from my lifelong friend Travis.

Now I know this is sort-of going to turn into an advertisement/endorsement of another blog, but before that turns you off, I implore you to keep reading.

Now my buddy Travis has spent the last few years devouring a plethora of books, blogs, and websites devoted to self-help. He is also quite a spiritual (hint hint.. spiritual not religious) guy, not the preachy type though.

Anyways hes combined these two elements of his life, self improvement, and spirituality, and created a blog about how the two are inextricably linked.

His ideas here are whats opening my eyes to now ways of bettering myself.

I hope you will give it a shot, even if your not into the whole spirituality stuff. At the very least it makes for great reading, and content that makes your mind churn.

Ps, I hope to be around more often!! For real this time!

Wohhooooo My first post!!!!!! This is awsome, its a doubly whammy cuz not only is it my first post,but guess what folks? I figured it out!! I know the true root of our current economic crisis!! Heres the shocker: It has nothing to do with mortgages or banks, or the $700,000,000,000 bailout. It’s the newest face of our governments stance on Immigration. That’s right, Im going there, our government has intentionally ruined our economy to keep those friendly border hoppers to our south... to our south. Its really quite engeious actually.

“For the first time in a decade, there are economies in Latin America that are doing better than in rich countries.” -Augusto De La Torre, chief economist at the World Bank, on why fewer Latin Americans are immigrating to the United States ---Courtesy of TIME MAGAZINE OCT 2008

Just let that simmer for a second.....

marinate a little longer.....

The only reason that people in Central and Southern America want to come here... well maybe not the only reason, cuz like people do also come here for such niceties like “Civil Liberties”... and a Police State hidden behind a shroud of Democracy rather than just a Police State. I should stop being so cynical....Anyways where was I?? Oh right: We intentionally destroyed our economy, so that people from Central and Southern America wouldn’t come here and steel all our jobs!! Thers just one problem with this idea, see not only did we get rid of the jobs that latin Americans would take if they were to immigrate, we also got rid of our jobs!!!! Bummer dude.

Just kidding..... really this is just the next part of a class war that has been aging ever since the dawn of civilization. Its all about the consolidation of power, and money. Celebrities, Politicians, Cable TV, Republicans vs Democrats, Blacks vs Whites, Pro live vs Pro Choice, Christian vs Muslim, War, Terrorism .......... mind fart......

Well for a second I thought that was going somewhere really epic....

Until next time my friends.....Back to the grinding wheel.
