*sigh*

I should ... add .... something .....

Really, all i have are really bad thoughts lately. Not bad, just not good.

How can i put it, everything seems really ugly around me, in the city, the country, etc. This year is just ... interesting (read nightmare). Not to complain, my family are still good, and i haven't lost my possesions, yet. I can't believe most of the stuff i see every day.

Latest news is some woman was assaulted and arrested for dog poo. Yes, assaulted by a cop, and arrested on many trumped up charges. She had a poobag btw, which had been filled, which was why she couldn't comply immediately. You read this, and wonder, how could this be? People are being arrested for the smallest things lately. Some bikers arrested for crossing the white line. Now i accept that it is an offense, but surely not an arrestable offense?? A fine sure, not arrest, for a day, without water.

This country is going downhill fast, we got increased rates, eskom (the only power utility) demanding a 67% hike in fees, despite having been given several BILLION rands by the government budget. My next fear is my house, prices are dropping, and soon i will owe more than the house is worth, and effectively be trapped.

Its all bout the money .... how does that song go? An yeah, sa is being financially raped. Also emotionally. How long can people survive this seige mentally before the floodgates burst? I know for my own part, stress about these things eats me daily. Why? BECAUSE I CARE. For my family, and my neighbours and my country. It's that care that eats you. So stop caring. No, that doesnt quite work either.

ok i'm dragging .... maoning bitching complaining. Not really ... just letting a little steam vent. That's why i blog.

I know what i need though .... a good pissup.
