The end of the world wasn't

Well I knew this would happen, the end didn't or more accurately rapture didn't happen. So I suppose e all continue on prepping for the next big thing 2012 I guess. I honestly do not think anything will happen then. There are a lot of odd dates this year and next in numerology but I do not think much of that system either. What we have to work and worry for are more of the same things we see everyday like the tornados and the earthquakes and hurricanes. Not some massive repeat of an ice age or god coming to force us to repent for our wrongs.

If rapture happened the only innocence taken would be unborn children. Everyone sins.

I am but a few posts away from 100 so maybe I'll get a guest poster sometime. Until then it's just me. I am not being a good prepped or mimilist right now I am in one of my moods. Tying to find my own happiness right now and failing and faulting with my self for trying. But I am still here lIke everyone else.

Rapture?

Well I really only heard about this yesterday so its interesting, apparently this guy Harold Camper did this same game back in 1994 and as you can see with us still being here, nothing happened, but apparently to him the world will end in October and we have a few months of torture.

We have news articles, wiki articles, so on so forth, also amusing to coincide is an article that looks like a troll from cdc http://emergency.cdc.gov/socialmedia/zombies_blog.asp 

so uh prepare for whatever might happen and carry a large knife. I doubt anything will happen honestly. I feel the same for 2012.

Storms and Rambles

This year has been interesting. We had a wild winter, a white Christmas that had people snowed in. I had to go to work the day after Christmas though, just because I have a bad job. Tornado's ripped through Alabama and NC/ few other states, the Mississippi river is flooded. I think the big question would be, Is this normal? I do not remember it being normal, not in my childhood, teenage years or where I am now. we are breaking record books or coming close to with this weather. I remember el nino and la nina when they hit seeing that summer haze on the water. I remember when it snowed in NC in 93. seeing it last year I saw it snow on Christmas, and that is something I have never seen.

The purpose of this blog is to go through survival ideas, mine mostly, perhaps others if they decided to send in articles they write, or if I get a helping author. life is lived constantly on expectations, I normally know what to expect with the weather, which extremes I have to deal with for the area I live in, since I have lived in the same state in the same county my entire life. Life has thrown me many curve balls, loosing houses, moving many times, my father passing, its all things I look at, turn off, and move on. A person tends to worry about their own well being, if you are to continue living the way you expect, in the environment you are used to. I suppose I am rambling out of the many things I miss in this world, as prices soar for every product nameable, I guess the price of expectations has gone up most of all

Stages in life

It is human nature to always look for something new, want the next thing, perhaps even being unachievable. I have a new car, making payments on it yes. Next thing in my life is to move from my apartment to some place bigger. I think its a possible approach to go from renting to owning a home in this current market. All of these foreclosed homes in my area could lead to me having a larger home for a price per month cheaper than what I pay for rent. There are so many websites out now listing free and paid for foreclosed homes. I think my next step will be to look through them. It is odd for me to go from canceling television and internet because of the added bill, to thinking about moving, but if I can make the move cheaper on me than my current rent, then it is a profitable situation.

Even in these times leading toward economic downfall, and possible shtf there is still room to improve your situation and control your surroundings.

The Road

Over the course of a few nights, I read this book at night while being unable to sleep. I downloaded the book to my phone, and read it in the dark, for me I never saw this book as story book really, I gathered information from it mostly. Learning the biggest thing they seemed to stress in the book. Have good shoes. Through out the story of this book I thought the idea behind a man as depressed as he was and his son actually to make it through this Barron world that was described. All plants and most animals seem dead, from fires or some other disaster, the air filled with ash, and they are walking along a road in aim to go south. They did not give a reason for them to be going south, the only reason I saw in the book was the idea of avoiding winter. which they went through many hard nights, some when they had a fire some nights not, they remained careful to keep themselves hidden for fear of other people. Apparently people lacking a food source will kill anyone else if needed, like we didn't already think this. This man and his son neither of which are ever given names in the book remain aware of their surroundings while always on the move even when finding random points of Paradise. This is not a bad book, the dialog between the man and the boy was a bit hard for me to follow. 

I do realize there is a movie to this book, I didn't read good things, but there is one thing I know about myself, if I read the book I do not care about seeing the movie, If I watch the movie I get very interested in the book.

I hope I did not give too much away with this book.

coupons?

Okay I do believe my wife has this figured out, in this receipt she bought 14 things? Two bags of frozen veggies meals, Three bags of frozen corn, 5 power bar energy bars( why did we need these I do not know?), Four tubes of toothpaste( finally something we needed).  retail price 37.46 she paid 7.98, 30 dollars saved, its not 1000 dollars worth of food but it is a start. She did this in a hurry tonight because she saw sales were going to end so she acted quickly on them, do not know if that was good or not.


In other news for me. I had to cancel my tv/internet wont really effect me being here I still have my phone to use for a modem. This just reduces my speed online greatly.

Oh yeah Osama bin laden was killed I think. I prefer more confirmation and I dislike the sight of the president patting himself on the back taking the credit hoping for his own reelection when it was a soldier that did the work.

all work all play

I have kept my plate quite full, after healing from my eye I have been constantly working, and when not attempting to be social in the world. my hand is broken still but I am moving around it working left handed mostly.

Crazy weather huh? To all those hit by the tornado, I am sorry, I wish you the best, and condolences to loved ones you may have lost. I suppose when not living in a flood plane or earthquake area, hurricanes and tornadoes are coming and we should just move under ground. This weather is odd, in NC I have seen and lived through one tornado in my area in my life before this year. that means 25 years, I have seen one, and that was when I was in grade school, elementary school mind you. I honestly believe this new condition's of weather are the effected jet stream from the gulf oil spill but I will never be able to confirm this unless the government decides to do so.

That being said, I am doing well beyond being broke and broken. my mind just needs time to recharge for some new content to be unleashed here.
