Civilization and Supply Crawlers: the Key to serious coinage

Well I played a game of civ this month that many would have considered a waste of life. But alas it was a valueable tool. I enjoyed the game, but more importantly, it taught me something.

The lesson of supply crawlers.

Supply crawlers are how i won the hardest mode of the game, and i believe are the secret to ridiculous loads of money.

Basically you manufacture supply crawlers and those babies go out and mine minerals from neighborhood resources.

Not much just a nickle here and a nickle there. But the more nickles you have coming in the more you can make more supply crawlers, and soon you have legions of crawlers each adding loads and loads of coinage to your bank.

Lots of people are out there trying to flip this house and make a load of money, in the next big thing.

The other day i got a piece of mail talking about making 400% opening a forex trading account. Everyone wants big bucks now.

What about making a little money, then letting someone else running it and letting them manage it, and cutting your proffits down, and getting a little trickle. How to create automated tasks that are trickling money into your account. Thats my goal.

Crafting the supply crawlers, thats the art.

Sell Oil!

I predict that the price of oil will plummet!

I read an interesting article in the new yorker

http://www.newyorker.com/talk/financial/2008/07/07/080707ta_talk_surowiecki.

Where they were talking about the power of perception in the markets. Read it....

As I was reading it i began to see a pattern in the american psyche, a pattern which i have been seeing in myself.

The desire to not work to much and be a lazy manic investor. Let your money work for you.

And what seems to be happening is that in the past 10 years there has been these huge market swings. And i have been involved in all of them.

First off, there was the tech bubble. Then there was Real estate
And now there is oil.

Prices of oil are skyrocketing, and before that real estate, and before that stocks.

Oil is the new investment vehicle.

LA DREAMERS

I feel perhaps frustererated that my practice (Rolfing) is not growing as quickly as i would like, and am always wondering if my plan of working as a health promoter is a naive pipe dream. I look around and see bodyworkers, barely scraping by, and i am like well what is this? is this what i want to emulate? And i wonder if all of my dreams are based on the advice that is so often given to young people with affluent parents: Find your passion follow it. They advise this because they have found money and no happiness and think that the opposite of their own direction may lead to a better result. And i see artists all following this advice, and struggling to make ends meet, because life isnt that easy, following your passion isnt enough... life is not just a stage to dance on, its a survival game, and their are predators hunting you down.

Going out to la i seee legions of screenwriters and actors in coffeeshops, all waiting for their big break, as they borrow money from parents who tell them to hang in there and push through it.... unfortunately.... its like normandy.....

Hipsters

First of all parden the delay in writing...

anyway what are hipsters?

i realized that there is a general loss of all things good, lately:

mainstream music sucks,
Look at mtv over the past 20 years...

Movies blow
Movies are increasingly turning towards the pg13 rating to appeal to more people, and quality high brow movies are on the drop

Our vocabs are decreasing

The baltimore symphony is struggling.

Politics and justice are degrading...
Bush obviously, but even look at the supreme court to overturn the floridas recount vote.... all the republicans voted not to allow the recount.... all the democrats for. Now this is a states rights issue which is a critical republican stance, sold out for obvious reasons.... the supreme court.... down.

there is a sense of a decline of aesthetics, of essential goodness...

Hipsters feel the vacancy of the lack of presence passion and beauty of our times and are all about how real to the vacant void of our cultaral emotional landscape can you be....

Interesting....

Not that i am joining them, but at least they are feeling...

Is being goofy bad?

I feel like goofiness is something that i am guilty of, and i have to ask myself is this a behavior that i should try and phase out with maturity? How many girls have i lost because of goofiness? hmmm?



sometimes there are deeper posssibilities of relating, that goofiness can get in the way of... but still... look at the beauty of how goofiness can spread through the world
