Happy first month of 2009 you guys.

The beginning of the year is always bugged out to me, because we always run around declaring everything that we claim to stand for, only to end up falling for anything by the next new year. Human nature? Maybe. Lazy, arrogant Americanism? More likely than not. With that, my 2009 general resolution is to stop making bullshit resolutions. No better time than now to stop being full of shit right? i knew you'd agree with me on that.

I try to keep these blogs relatively upbeat, but some times we need a reality check... and know, that by we i mean us, myself included. Hope you making the most of your liberties these days. Check out this documentary on oppression, and you might feel better about your neighborhood, job, family, perspective and situation than you ever have…
