just finished watching the movie cashback. i really enjoyed it-- and not for the reasons one might think. the move has a lot of nudity in it, but that's not really what made it good. i enjoyed the ending. i think it was the first love story i really enjoyed. it left me feeling good about life and wanting to take more care and pay attention to each moment that passes with those i love.
then, i started watching michael moore's capitalism: a love story. now, that's been a downer so far compared to cashback. but, i think it's something every citizen of the united states needs to watch. it everything that comes out of moore's mouth the gospel truth? nah, not necessarily. but, he often makes important points that deserve serious evaluation.
this really makes me more interested in the fixcongress movement. our government is being bought right from underneath us. if we don't do something now and shake the apathy, we'll be slaves before we know it.
our government was designed to be self correcting, but the people are the engine of that self correcting engine. several prominent founding fathers of our nation knew even 200 years ago that the people needed to keep a watchful eye on our government's actions and remain in control. once we drop the ball collectively, we're in trouble.
and a study of psychology has demonstrated that collections of people can very easily begin to loaf, become apathetic, and drop the ball.
well-- i'm not finishing that documentary tonight. like cashback, i'll have to watch it in spurts. i don't seem to ever get enough uninterrupted time to sit in one place for very long.
my dear, dear friend in germany sent me some links to some children books that are in english and german. i think i'll buy them for myself as a christmas present. i'll try to put more effort in german and hopefully other languages in the future.
then, i can hopefully get outta the country if the new revolution against the rising cooperateocracy fails.
well, my wife is home. besides, i really wanna gets some sleep. i want to try and turn over a new leaf and try to start getting up in the morning. maybe if i get more sleep, i'll have a bit more pep.
i realized today after doing some cashflow analysis and budgeting that wealth is more than just having money.
now, i'm not wealthy. but, if i ever will be, i've gotta make some changes.
i eat out so much; and i'd have more money if i didn't. but, i'd also be healthier, too. less money on healthcare (most likely), too.
that's is also a part of wealth. not just money, but just the sheer enjoyment of one's life.
so, i think i'll try to get more sleep, eat and live healthier, and hopefully save more money over time.
well, time to go. i'm rambling. but, i wanted to take note of this before i went to sleep.
