coming up daisies

right, blogging. back to that... the list, abandonment and completion of said list is still dominating my life as each day tics by... tree not done, 1 strand of lights outside, table not done, bathroom, everything sort of undone, laundry, my bed, photos, paintings, sidewalk...dayplanner conversion from '06 to '07 not done. possibly so glad to be trashing '06 and moving on (though it was better than '05) and moving on to '07... i don't want to go thru all the birthdays. i decide who stays and who goes. though i usually have an ironclad memory for even people i don't like- the neglectful and remiss don't deserve a space- do they? it's the same reason i don't clutter my phone with a list of numbers. it pains me to runacross people i don't call or more importantly they don't call me... even emails- if there wasn't a favorites list i might just delete like crazy... even if there's magic in the mass email or even the 'i haven't heard from you in a year 1/2 email...' i don't like to be reminded.

this morning i was reading 'chew on this'... which is the kids version of 'fast food nation' and i regret being reminded of the atrocity of processed food- not just mc'ds... bcs even dannon grinds up tiny bugs to color their yogurt- i was reminded of the mc'job i have. they went on and on about low balling wages, denying benefits and on and how the big eats up the small-- and the reality is the book that i'm reading in the bookstore i'm working is supporting the mc'chine just as much. for all it's touting the evils of one thing it was there being sold in another- so everything is tainted and there will always be a whistfulness for what was or could be... next i'm going to read 'rich dad, poor dad' for kids, maybe gain some encouragement or something from that... the way they simplify things in the kids section is somewhat refreshing... it's a wonder the things you can learn about pee or even houdini... i mean it would be great if pee smelled like roses but i'm not going to drink turpentine to do it.
