So after about three weeks that has felt like bad luck had taken up residence and wasn’t paying rent, I got some time to work on the ole blog again. And one of the first things that I wanted to do was to restore the album listing that I had in the previous version. So half empecting the multitude of errors and freakouts that it did a few weeks ago, I click on the activate link and….
Roughly a year ago, I wrote up a list of things that I wanted to achieve for 2011. Coming off getting a new job, things look to be going decently with more earning power and maybe achieving some of the things I had planned for the last few years after all. So in the spirit of keeping that tradition alive, it’s time to have a look see at how well I did, and what will be going on this years list.
While driving home today, and aimlessly browsing around the dregs of radio that inhabit this province, I happen to stubble on this tune that I had heard off and on over the years.

In my travels though the internet, you see a lot of noise about the recession, the economy, and how it’s looking all doom-and-gloom. And there’s a lot of reasons why there should be some worried faces out there. Companies are going belly up, countries in places that are normally a bastion of financial security are going under in a sea of red ink, or getting quite close. Heck even the United States, who on the economic scale would probably be the furthest into the capitalistic camp, had it’s credit rating lowered recently due to their decades of financial mismanagement and recent political instability/incompetence (although their president Barack Obama would like you to believe that credit ratings apply to everyone except themselves). So naturally folks aren’t too pleased with the folks on Wall St, Bay St, and Paternoster Square to name a few economic hubs.
