North of 49

The morning started out bad as I was not feeling well, my head felt like a balloon filled with porridge and gravel. Rather than a bug I think it is just an unhealthy life style catching up with me what with being a career smoker and eating like a teenager. Yeah the pretty much nightly ritual of gettin a glow on has to be mentioned. Add to this a stressful job environment, not because of the work but because of management style and the fact that I have a mind that sometimes wanders. There are other factors that contributed to this nasty injury and I will leave them out as I personally dislike re-visiting the moment in time where it all came to a point of CHAOS! unwrapped to take out the sutures  It truly amazes a person when you look back at a catastrophic event and it plays in slow motion. That is but a memory of what happened, don't look confused just yet I'm sure this thread will become more tangled as I write. I have been in several car accidents ...

Okay so I am a little late with this but: MERRY                 Christmas!                    While I'm on the subject                                  HAPPY NEW YEAR!                                   Have a good 2012. My Christmas was spent in a little Southern Alberta city. It was a balmy 0 Celsius and hardly any snow. Being with the family is all that counts and this time down South I had a chance to visit many friends and family. When I am there I go under the radar disguised as a Grampy and Grand daughter                                   GRAND FATHER! I love the two of them with all my heart. and the Gr...

So this yet another piece of thread that unwound (funny how the word wound can mean 2 things with a totally different sound, see another thought off of a thought which came from.............come to think this body of mine was created from a thought.....oh crap!) You can see why it takes so long to make a post sometimes!  It is the way my thought process goes its like my thoughts are not arranged in a well ordered grid, I'm not methodical. My thoughts if charted would look  like a winding (another one of "those" words) boulevard snaking through the streets and avenues of information sometimes connecting to neighboring sections sometimes forming an overpass from one neighborhood to another going over yet others that are irrelevant to my apparent destination. OK! Back to the original post. We are so used to Money . The whole concept of currency is unquestioned by most and thought about by very few. We tend to believe that it's what makes the world go around...

The ideas we have now have been with our species for a very long time. Just thought I'd share this clip.

I am confused as to what my blog is called?????? I thought it was North of 49 but when in Google reader it sez The name is "The view from the Hill". Truthfully it was the name I had tried to use but dumped it when I found someone else already had a blog with the same name. I dunno! While on the subject of the more cosmetic aspects of this blog I would like to make a plea. I need help with the layout of my blog and so many out there have kick ass pages. Of course I'll try to navigate this blogger site and see what I can do all by my little lonesome. If you have a tip please deposit it at my email or here in the comment box.

This has been a popular post but after a re-read I found it needed some work and a re-posting. So no you are not going daft thinking you had seen this title before....you have. Anarchy has been a word out there in the news and related vaguely to the Occupy Movement. I wrote this mainly to show that yes I have gone over some material and no I'm not a scholar. Together we will take a look at Anarchy. One: what the heck is it? It, like any ideology, can have a number of variations but the central idea is that there is no one person with power and decisions are made through the collective of the working class. It is argued that it's our natural state, I won't refute that. Two: will it work? In 1930 something there was a anarchistic state created in Spain. The world was in chaos compared to today. Fascism was spreading and the people of Spain created an anarchistic socialist state. More on that period http://www.spunk.org/texts/places...
