If It Walks Like A Duck.....


Wikapedia describes a mid life crisis along the lines of blah blah blah and buying the obligatory sports car so just as the world collapse of financial markets, bailouts that look socialist,and housing values falling like a rock a little mid life crisis seems befitting. A crisis of epic proportions can take a garden variety depression and dress it up as something different.

Thank goodness I like the drama.

The malaise that has gripped me is from simple suburban blandness of such epic proportions it seems eclipsed only by the lack of decent ethnic food. Thank god for a dock in Alameda as a home away from home with a rockin' foodie scene.

A good question to throw out of course, but no: some girls just wanna have fun and fun is a commodity not really found in this area code without some creative spin on what's edgy and off color.

So can't think of something off color to think, write or say, well don't sit next to me at the next council meeting.

Life is just to friggin short . Perhaps a little holiday cheer could put a band aid on how the external barometer of life effects my less than sunny attitude but this too will pass. Impulsiveness takes on a whole new meaning- don't forget to do your Christmas shop lifting early!

Speaking of edgy, IF i were to purchase a midlife crisis car it would be a tesla..

ok i get your drift..it was karl marx who claimed capitalism would destroy itself...Marx argued that capitalism, like previous socioeconomic systems, will produce internal tensions which will lead to its destruction. Just as capitalism replaced feudalism, capitalism itself will be displaced by communism, a stateless, classless society which emerges after a transitional period. in the meantime i'm adding myself to the ZR1 wait list before GM and Tesla bite the dust..

It is a sad but not surprising move on the part of CEO Elon Musk to
also ask for $350M ....I was trying to think of a card board sign that
might sum it up, should Mr. Musk stike out with the government.
The corner of Sand Hill Rd before the KP bldgs Elon Musk with a sign that could read " Free Tesla tune-ups for life, just need 350M Large...Can
U help? "

U R right...should have cited "Marx argued that capitalism, like previous socioeconomic systems, will produce internal tensions which will lead to its destruction. Just as capitalism replaced feudalism, capitalism itself will be displaced by communism, a stateless, classless society which emerges after a transitional period." in quotes...courtesy of Wikipedia...
