You Can Get What You Want When You Want It
3 February 2012
We've always been told 'You can't always get what you want.' But sometimes, we really can get what we want when we want it. What is this stroke of luck? Do you enjoy a good read or maybe hear a news story that you'd like to read up on but don't get around to getting to the book store or library then totally forget? Maybe you've thought about ordering Amazon's Kindle ebook reading application, but don't want to juggle another gadget. Take heart. Did you know that you can download the Kindle Program to your desktop, laptop, iPhone and many other gadgets, completely free and start reading that book by the next coffee break. Wondeful!
Get your Kindle application and enjoy!

Welcome To 2012
12 January 2012
Welcome to the 2012. The New Year's in full swing and most of us have long since returned to the day-to-day, be it working or looking for work. I've heard varying reports, statistics and interpretations on the state of the economy, none of them painting a particularly clear picture. For whatever it's worth, I took a look at the astrological picture for 2012. The Stars are indicating that we should be especially on guard not to fall for any grandiose ideas - great advice for an election year.
Political rhetoric is gaining momentum every day with all the accompanying promises, blames and claims of morality. Wonder if there's any connection to global warming. In any case, when we get right down to it, politics is all about protecting one's interests and being able to take advantage of as many resources as possible. No one wants to give up what he/she already has. And most of us would like to have as much control as possible over our lives, resources and time - dream on! We've been taught that all are created equal, but we don't have equal talents and few are lucky enough to be born to power and privilege. We've just got to work hard, work smart and remember:
Them that's got the gold make the rules
- they got the power of the gold and can buy what they need to make more.
Wishing all a happy, healthy, peaceful and prosperous New Year!
