Welcome to The Abyss

At first glance, one might think, "What happened?".
"Was my blink too long?"
"When did this become unfamiliar territory?"
"How do I get back to where I was?"

That's the rub, you see. You can't go back.
Today is here. Tomorrow will be different still. The way things were is gone.
Those who can deal with it, will somehow, survive. Those who can't... well they're already dead. They just don't know it yet.

I could, myself, be one of the walking zombies. The ones who are dead and just don't know it yet. In this regard, too, time will tell.

I could be discussing the state of the world today. It would seem that way. After all the ranting I have done... all the preaching that the end was coming... I never had the funds to begin the preparations.

Newton's laws of motion indicate that an object in motion will stay in motion until another one of the laws of force affect it. The course I set out upon propelled me forward for some time, but not enough time was available, it seems. My ship - adrift in the abyss - now imprisons me rather than shelters me.

Today, I speak of two very different things... one very obvious and one that is very subjective.

Obvious first.
Of course, the overtones are that of the state of what once was the greatest country on earth.The course that we are on is just as scary. The runaway train in this is actually the government. Spending four billion dollars per day is so unbalanced that I expect the wheels to fly off soon. When that happens, the last vestiges of the old republic will be washed away with the tides of new socialism and dictatorship. We still may have the illusion of elections, but the puppet press has been white washing the regime's take over for three and a half years.

With the increases in what was once isolated crack pots shooting, domestic terrorism will do nothing to impede the aggressive take over of what will soon be a police state, in order to maintain the order in the streets. It won't be long before the power will be exerted to begin the removal of civilian armaments. I regret my inability to arm myself, as soon, it will be too late.

Not So Obvious Next.
This has become my singular outlet for expression. Soon, it too may be gone. Why? Despite it being a free service (for now), it does expose me. When the collapse does finally come, I wish to be as anonymous as possible. Please make a note here - the last vestiges of the website of over 10 years are now history.

All additional website expenditures are closed. I can no longer afford it. Additional expenditures are also gone that include: tanning; drinking; bowling; camping; home phone; and many others, which I am certain I have forgotten about.

In a very short period of time I could be working 3 am to 6 pm daily as I have begun negotiations for a part time job prior to my already full time job - that is STILL a temporary job. 

Simply put, I can no longer afford to work merely one job.
So the silly extravagance of Internet activity will also be gone.

How DID we get here, anyhow?
