Rant?

I havent ranted or raved in quite sometime, taking the easy way out and re-publishing articles here. Anyway, I have a lot to say but am not motivated. I dont know why. I just got back from a vacation, flew down to Miami and then roadtripped it up to Toronto. Quite tiring, but fun....I love driving...and fast!

I also wanted to see if I could get a pulse of the US in the pre-dawn of the imminent crash. I cant really say that I got what I expected. I expected a general malaise, a disquieting of sorts, but got infact mostly the opposite. I got people still talking about how all will be well and how everyone's expectations are still positive. The expensive restaurants were full, the exotic cars out in full force...I must say though, a clear testament was driving up Xt 14 on the NJ Turnpike through Newark and passing by the shipyards where they ship off cars nationwide, and I presume internationally, the lot was full as ever, we could see cars for blocks after blocks....thousands of unsold brand spanking new crappy american cars....i hate american cars....and so it is told, the initial crack, remnant of the coming depression begins to show its sign.

I'm happy to be in Toronto, dont get me wrong, it's coming here too! Just not yet. The Canadians after all are #2 behind the US trying to save as little as possible.

Hmmm....im enjoying this, I'll try to write more often. Right now i have to go out as I've been home all day just taking care of administravia....need some fresh air and people.....
