I am on friendfeed.com, why aren’t you yet?

Hello readers, browsers, info-snackers, crawlers, and spies. I want to let you know there is a better way to follow what I am doing besides just following my latest posts. Do you want to see what I find interesting on the internet and bookmark? Do you want to see my micro-blogging on twitter? Do you want to read my reviews on yelp? Do you want to see my netflix queue? Do you even care?

Well, the amazing thing is, is that this service is free and you and your cohorts can use it to follow and be followed and updated and joined in the conversation that is going on all around you that is, for the most part, external to the blogosphere. It can be a great tool for businesses to manage their brand as well, even though I think a simple google alert can do that just as well for a neophyte web 2.0 adopter.

Friendfeed is what I am talking about. And it may very well be the harbinger of death to the blogosphere as we know it, at least comments wise.

So, I hope I have convinced you to at least check it out. No, I am not getting paid to push friendfeed on the masses, I just think that the masses will find it extremely useful and engaging, if not downright addictive and distracting. Check out their FAQs page if you are still skeptical.

BTW, barack is winning PA and winning the democratic nomination, for better or worse.

maybe I am evil santa - aliens have invaded my thoughts and crushed my world view

Ok, I am officially starting to question everything about reality as we know it. I guess I have been for a while now, but I am making it official by stating it over the web.

Happiness is all about your perception, so why not change the way you perceive things to make yourself happy….
like, the world is not ending, we are collectively destroying a failed system that will hasten the next system which will be much better…

what we must do is directly democratize our lives on this planet by collectively standing up and laying down some ultimatums to the powers that be:

1. If we pay taxes, we should get something in return (how about decent health care, free education (including college), a great system of roads, checks and balances to stop corporate greed and corruption, etc.)

2. Get rid of jails by getting rid of the underlying causes of crime. (stop band-aiding and start fixing the root causes of behavior) Why does the US have the most jails and inmates per population in the world?

3. When a baby is born in any country, that host government should setup a saving fund with 5% interest that that child cannot withdrawal from until the age of 21.

4. Credit cards companies should only give cards to those who have over one million dollars in assets.

the key is to remain optimistic…. I mean as long as there are gadgets out there like the iphone, humanity cannot be that bad, right?

Thank you Philip K. Dick and VALIS.

Santa is as real as this new world order that we have been living in since the gold standard was abolished and financial oligarchs took over the planet. Who is ready to colonize the ocean?

I have been thinking about changing the look of the constant skeptic website….
I am going to go for a sleeker, cleaner feel with letter clutter.

Clutter should be eradicated every once in a while, and the new year is a great time to do it.

So look for changes that will be in store soon as I go through changes and try to figure out what I really want, and what is most important to me to achieve some degree of real happiness, peace, wisdom, and prosperity in this life.

I will leave you with an immortal infamous video from miss south carolina:
