a freelancer's union. take a hike.

obviously, i am a little shaken to hear the news today. it is a sad, sad world when our heroes are taken down over silly misunderstandings. but im trying to keep on keepin on today, despite the devastating news. i know thats what the ice would want.

i read this article today about not-for-profits, sometimes called "charities" in the times & it reminded me of this book i read last summer called the revolution will not be funded. by the way, why is it that i cant underline text in this blog? it wont let me, so everything is italicized. LAME. well, anyway, the book was good- & depressing, as most investigative books are. i recommend for sure.

so i have found a new website that i love. it is funny & informative, well-rounded & 95% written by freelancers. its like, the wave of the future, dudes. i like it because some of the articles are outrageous & some will just leave you thinking all day about how much you agree/disagree with that asshole. check it out HERE.

i am doggy sitting all week & i am so excited. i miss my brutus so much, so it will be good to have some pooch time. i know these people usually sound crazy but there is a lot to be said for pet therapy. ATT, as it is better known as, has proved to be quite the tool for improving quality of life both for the animals & human patients involved. the delta society & company seem to have it down to a science. stay tuned for next weeks report on how benny & lulu helped my crazy.\




i also read an article today about a book i just bought on amazon...i ordered a few books on changing the american landscape, because there is so much online that sometime i get overwhelmed. i love the idea of a bound book- something that has a beginning & an end that i can read in the park. also, books dont include advertisements & links to things like this or this or this, like articles online that suck you into everything that is going on. sometimes, when i read about how i live on a planet where governments will use rockets to ensure good weather so that some steroid poppin atheletes can be human advertisements for patriotism, world peace & massive consumption, i just want to go hide in a tent in the middle of harriman state park.
