Maybe I'm not simple..maybe I am complex. Overall I just want simple things, food shelter, good health, human connections dare I say love. OK I said it. More music Guy, admit you want more music and outdoor rock festivals of a small and friendly type. Yes I admit that, where people all can share some happiness and no one wants to talk politics.. That's right. I just need to establish the bottom line, my bottom line. There are always a few more wants.
So we simple humans have created this system of money exchange and it kind of works it has some self-regulating qualities, some aspects that give a human some freedom even particularly when we have our life's work set up in some practical manner
that gives decent service to your customers and we in return get a good flow of currency back. The problem is ..yes Guy? The problem as I see it (through the fog) is we are all too often willing to sacrifice
nature/The Earth for our sources of Money.
It is just way too obvious that we undermine or put it more bluntly trash our environment for a few dollars more.
Now all of us consume lots of life to stay alive. That's the way it is. 600 Billion of us exfoliating the Planet as I've noticed
and heard some of you comment with observations to that effect. The thing is we all don't really want to destroy our good thing.
Yet we all are caught up in it. I was thinking yesterday in the waiting room at MGH's ER. As I was trying to figure it out as to how we could have a really great Health Plan for all of us in this Country as I was pretty much in a world of pain and using up another of my allotted ER visits. (See the previous post coincidentally) My thoughts were that Health Care should be something of great pride in our nation. Our Health Care system currently in my opinion with or without Obamacare is on an unsustainable track. The whole process of excessive profit taking from all those who have their hands in the cookie jar, Insurance Companies, Medical Supply houses, Pharmaceuticals... plus us Humans and all our unhealthy lifestyles.
We have to turn towards health. It's like all the best solutions, we have to make an effort in our own lives. What about the cigarettes and alcohol? What about the cheap gas station food fast food crap.? If the people particularly the people who really think Health Care without limits is our right can't begin to step up and make some changes clearly in your own best interest
then it just adds to the Unsustainability of the whole proposition.
We all have to turn towards Health. I believe even my Rock and Roll Community here in California. We all need to be challenged, every kid in America do you really have to join your buddies all the time. No you can say not tonight. I don't think so. There's cracks of perhaps unfounded optimism breaking through all the time. It's only when we really begin to believe ..that we can have the world we want. That we just might have the power, if we use our own lives as the force, as in our Health Care as in our Environment, that we have the power if we can find it inside.
I went 8 hours without a Vicodin today and was sort of hoping and still am that maybe this alleged Kidney Stone has dissolved. The pain came back but the Vicodin seems to have helped. I probably could have spent the past two hours focusing on Stormy Monday Blues and trying to be able to play a coherent guitar lead, which is not a skill I have, yet. Instead of writing this ramble.
I sat with Joe LoCoco in my apartment getting a great guitar lesson from the man mid week and then out of the blue the Sunday MGH ER visit. The only once a month Peri's Blues Jam slipped away. Even tonight I might have considered getting out to the open Mic, in Fairfax despite my problems but now that the Vicodin is back in my system. No. Last week at the open Mic my erudite, friend Bowie says to me. '..well Guy you going to embarrass yourself again tonight' That's sort of a Fairfax way of saying 'break-a-leg'. I told him 'maybe.' At the end of the night the great Billy D host of the open Mic says to me. 'You see Guy, Peri's is your stadium.' I made some noise on my guitar. Tonight here i sit . It's OK.
So much to talk about in this world.
