Did ya know...

The government has your baby's DNA! So, call me crazy or maybe paranoid but isn't this just totally wrong? I am pretty sure that they don't own my baby's DNA. They don't deserve it. They need to stop being all creepy like this. What else are they doing that we don't know about. According to the article, California keeps this DNA indefinitely. I think I will write a letter and get them to destroy my kids DNA. They apparently give this DNA out to researchers, sometimes including the kid's name on it! I am so not okay with this.

Must...get...farmland...

This guy is just making me more desperate for farmland. It just makes me more positive that we are heading into a giant toilet of suckiness. Well, compared to our cushie lifestyle so far. Why is it that no one except us fringe dwellers is thinking about this crap?  My brain has yet to come up with a way to acquire the needed land. Doing 'The Secret' has not helped either. Holy poop! I just realized that I bought a lotto ticket and could already be a winner...hold on must go check immediately. If I win I will buy the raddest piece of land and be super duper...Damn, my hubb has the car which has my wallet in it. I will have to check later...aargghh. If I win, I have a feeling my posts will become much cheerier...

Tuna is yummy and all but...

Can't we just eat some? Do we have to eat the hell out of something until it becomes extinct? I mean really. Do we have to have tuna whenever we want it? Are we that spoiled. Give a fish a break. Besides, it is just chalk full of mercury anyway, and we know how crappy that is. Can anyone else join in on staying away from tuna, at least for the time being? Sole is good too and there's always chicken...

What I want to happen...kind of...I think.

So, I have been daydreaming of having a small farm where I have animals grazing about on fields that are intensively rotated. The garden is robust and abundant in all types of veg and fruit. Everything is in perfect sync form the bee hives to the compost pile. Lots and lots of chickens because they are totally rad and I love my girls.Green roof on the house and passive solar constructed house with low voc paint and all the trimmings.
So, how do I get that when I have no money and no future plans on how to get said money? That's the kicker. And then, say I get the super happy magic farm of lala...how do I make money living the homestead life. These are the questions in my mind day after day...What say you....anyone out there? Even if I am talking to myself here, my brain is bound to come up with some answers for me. So, I'll keep you posted on that, or I'll keep myself posted, depending if I am talking to myself only or not.

The new motivated me...

So, last night I decided that I need to blog. You could say that I had a moment of clarity or something. I was lying in bed listening to the vacationers next door light off bottle rockets when it just came to me. I should blog about all my obsessive stuff so I can keep focused. I am notorious for having lovely thoughts of doing marvelous things and then kind of forgetting to do them.
Like last year, I was gonna can up every type of veggie the summer harvest allowed. From tomatoes to kimchi...but all I ended up with was a dozen jars of pickles. It didn't last through winter. So being all motivated and stuff from watching "Julie and Julia", I thought why don't I try my hand at blogging.
Instead of just reading my google reader each day and thinking the thoughts that come from that...I could write down some of the thoughts and who knows maybe the act of that would increase my ideas and productivity by like a hundred and then millions would follow my rants and ravings and my sponsors and such would be knocking on my doors and the money would roll in...Okay, so maybe I am lottery dreaming here but it's worth a shot.
