Its Been a While

since I last updated what I believed to be "the turn" in toady's society.  Blog writing is another form of, well.....writing all the time.  Yet our society pretends to make the blog this mystical creature we've never seen before.  Its an open digital diary.  Get used to it.  Just like Twitter's output in this format is not proportional to its hype.  We as a culture suffer many little turns as we collectively over blow the concept.  

The other reason is that I've been caught up in up trend in the market.  Bear market rally, Wave 2 "nothing goes straight down" uplift in stocks and commods.  CNBC was pissing me off with their "its going to be rosy" drum line so much that I stopped listing to them a month ago and, shockingly, I don't miss them.  My financial news is now totally online.  I don't even pick up a paper at the airport because it was written yesterday.  

But I stopped writing because I looked at the market and I stopped looking at society.  Got caught up trying to turn a "short-side buck" that I stopped listening to what was going on outside the Financial establishment.  Green shoots seemed to supersede job loss and his alcoholic  brother, foreclosure .  Not to mention, just listening to what people were saying.  The concern, stress and collective consciousness of discussing the car wreck, and projecting on other things we mind find down the road.

So there.  That's why.  The first step is recognising the problem and if you don't mind, this is my first "turn."  It feels good to be writing.
