I'm so depressed and exhausted.
I hate this adm. and I am so sick of all this awful news.

I want to go live in the desert where I can just sit on a butte and feel the wind and watch the clouds fly by.

Just pull up a lawn chair in front of my hogan and just shut this whole world out.

Other people dream of success and fame. I dream of being totally away from it all.

Calgon Take Me Away.

2. We can get a small group of RVs.
We can find an area in the canyons (near a convenience store, of course, lol) and make a campfire every night. We can listen to the crickets and breathe fresh air. :toast: :hug:

3. Sounds good to me - except I'm pretty antisocial.
But I would be OK if I had my own RV so I could get away from other people.

Just imagine. Sitting out in the open air, watching the stars with no city lights anywhere near. A nice breeze from the South. No radios and noise.

No speeches by Bush or any other stupid people.

No worries about war and the poor people in Darfur.

Heaven.

11. Yes. That would be very important to me.
I don't like a lot of noise around me. I also have no patience with drunks.

Now pot smoking is another thing. I would be just fine with that.

6. How about Southern Utah?
I used to work on digs out there in the desert. It is so wonderful. So huge and empty. Some people love mountains but they make me claustophobic. I'll take the huge sky of the desert anytime.

Just anywhere I don't have to listen to rap music and news.

17. I do have some in Salt Lake City but I was thinking
New Mexico. Out in the boonies. I'll take Utah too though. I actually was thinking that DU overload with ALL of it's news just ADDS to the stress of our lives sometimes.

8. Maybe this is a good way to look at things.
Sometimes, when you think about it long enough, it turns out that the problem becomes the solution.
There's no doubt that this is the worst administration in the world, of all times. I really believe that.
But wait, people are catching on to all this bullshit. A storm is brewing for Bush and his kind. I mean really sick and tired. It's coming, a change I mean. And it will be dramatic. Think about it and I will think about you thinking about it.:nuke: :nuke: :nuke: :nuke: :nuke: :nuke: :nuke: :nuke: :nuke: :nuke:

depressed. But I don't know how to get envolved here. I don't know where the Missouri people are or what groups are out there doing stuff.

I always dreamed of sailing on a Greenpeace Ship. Everytime they set sail my heart is out there with them.

Amd I too old? Is there still time?

I can still walk without a walker. And I can still talk.

14. For me, it would be a remote island, sitting under a palm tree, feeling
the warm tropical breeze upon my face while listening to the waves lapping the white sand beach. Yeah, Calgon Take Me Away. I'm sick and tired of this adm. and all the awful news and evil policies. :-(

20. take a week off from internet and tv..
Spend some quality alone time walking, reading or whatever you like.
I think I need to as well.
Everything postive you do (for yourself) makes the world a little better.

You'll have to be a....(drum roll) fat bellied Minute Man guzzling a Bud.
