Empty fridge

Here's what bothers me. A third of the world's poverty is in this country and we rank infamously high on the global corruption list. This pisses me off. What ticks me off even more is that I cannot do much sitting around here- like an armchair warrior blabbering away or a straitjacketed patient with anti-establishment issues. Giving money to these relief funds may or may not solve anything- we know where a good chunk of that money goes (actually we don't). So here goes an internal imploding revolution.
I refuse to indulge in frivolous vagaries I don't need. How much property do we need? Or how big does my car really have to be? I decline unnecessary whims. I choose to declutter because today I am in a position to and I refuse to be a bastard on resources. I refuse to get fat and consume more than I need. I am in the midst of a people who are still scrambling for shelter and food. I am a ten year old beside Kosi and can see an army chopper over my head dropping food for me to snatch and steal. I am not proud today. I may not be able to do much about this but here's what I can and will. I refuse to consume more than I really need. I will not stuff my stupid fridge. I never did anyways. I am not a demon and will not turn into one. I am a hermit and I will walk alone on this if need be because I am sick and tired of eating away like slobbering para-f * * * ing-site into resources just because I can afford to. I hate this shit. Faaaaaaaa...

  1. I love you for making me realize again how consumption is fatal and affordability to resources a parasite in my life...your thoughts are my prayers...I will face you the day I live every word of these prayers...the blood rushing in the veins of the children victimized by Kosi's monstrosity would have gushed faster than the killing waters of the river that changed its course after centuries...will you ever let anyone enter your hermitage...because you do not walk alone, my friend...

  2. I like your blog, and I like the way you think!

    I have too much stuff I don't need. I'm always trying to do things better, and I totally agree with you

Wordpress it is!

I have moved to Wordpress. After much introspection and discussion on what Blogger and Wordpress are capable of, I figured a one-stop shop...
