How amazing! it seems a if 2008 was yesterday and now we already are a quarter in the year.
The recession is in full bloom and the job market is worst than i can possibly remember. Yet the taste of life is even sweeter now that it ever was, because for once we get to say "thank God for what i have, a job, a home and of course sanity. At least that is the way i see it. I could be here and complaining and wishing for something i don't have, but today is different. the world is in such a crappy state, that it feels good to be just alright. Yesterday dreams are for some so far out of reach, I mean kids wanting to go to prestigious colleges but who cant. in the best case scenario, parents who were looking to retire soon, find themselves on the the working scene for at least another five years. On the other hand some of those who have been saving for the past 18 years are handed a pink slip because the economy is just so bad. 401 K have vanished over the last few months and the recession starts to look more like a depression. Unemployment rate is hitting the 1983 mark while the stock market is hitting 1995 lows.

How did we get to this point? it is kind of ironic when movies such as 2012 are about to hit the theater with
This is just what so many of us are dealing with now. but for the most part i am thankful for all i got. Health, life, ambition and sanity.
No complaints here, what a beautiful life
