Pondering Graduation time

Well it's graduation time. It's time for you to find a job. Or maybe prepare for more schooling. Either way it's going to be an up hill battle.( It's a very big hill. More like a mountain.)
Unemployment is up, again. 
And so is your debt.
Hopes for a good future are very low.
Depression is up.

You really have to think about more schooling, is it really worth it in the long run?
I never went on to collage, I only have a high school education. Not to say I wouldn't have liked to go to collage. But I'm still not sure what I want to be. So I dabble in this and I dabble in that. 

I wonder if there are some of those jobs out there that people go to collage for that would be easier to get if instead of going to collage you could just be an apprentice to. You now learning what you need to know about the job and not having to take classes that have nothing to do with the subject at hand.  You start at the bottom and work your way up, without the massive debt you get from going to collage. On the job training could be better. You never know it could even be better for the economy, eventually  

With the economy being as bad as it is, it's turning out to be extremely hard for anyone to find a job. 
How did things get so bad  so fast?
Who do we blame?
Unfortunately there is no one person or thing to blame.
So many things are happening now around the world that just continue to mess things up I'm not sure we will ever be able to recover if somethings, thoughts and attitudes don't change.
Looking into my crystal ball  (which is finally out of the shop) things do not look good. 
I can't go into details but I will say it's time to show mother nature a little bit more respect and ourselves.
So between mother nature throwing a hissy fit and many parts of the world having melt downs, oh and some people predicting the end of the world( now it's Oct 21, 2011) it's going to be a very bumpy ride here on out for everyone.
Maybe if the world was not so interconnected  it could help
And if people stopped using the stock market for gambling.
Oh and if smaller was thought of as better then bigger, it might help.
And if politicians would stop playing the blame game and be true leaders who really care about the little people, like me, who just want to feel secure and free with everyday life.

So to conclude I just want to wish all graduates good luck with their future because they are going to need it. And everyone else out there who is trying to make a go of it.
And don't forget to keep on pondering the pondering possibilities.

Jean Viken Cold Case

When I first started this blog one of the first things I wrote about was the murder of a local woman. She disappeared Jan 29th 2008 on one of the coldest days of that month. Her body was found I think in May of that year. She had been shot. Her van was found not long after she went missing up north. She was the mother of 4 young children and was going through a divorce at the time. Well here it is 2 years later and nothing has happened to try and find the person or persons responsible for her death. Why? I'm sure the whoever was responsible was really not that smart. It's as if the no one wants to get to the bottom of what really happened to her. Maybe she was not important enough. Maybe she was not connected to the right people.  I wonder what it would take to get more exposure to this cold case. If there was more pressure from some place else maybe the ones responsible would start to panic and make mistakes to expose the truth. It's time the truth was exposed. Remembe

Jean Viken update and other local things.

This past week Channel 7 has been doing stories on the cold case of Jean Viken.I did see one of them. In it the police said they know who did it but they are waiting for someone to come forward. But no matter what four young children will be without their mother for the rest of their lives because someone decided to end her life out of the meanness of their heart. Here is the story I found on the internet: Jean Viken's friends and family remember her as a loving mother of four young kids, a devoted daughter and sister. But nearly four years after her murder, a dark cloud hangs over Jean's memory, as they continue to search for answers. "We were having a birthday party for her because all of her friends would have wanted to get together like we would have done if she was here," Jane Hempel said. Almost five months after Jane Hempel reported her sister Jean Viken missing, family and friends gathered to celebrate her birthday, hoping to feel some semblance o

Pondering Japan's Earthquake

Image
The earthquake in Japan is just another wake up call for us. It is so far the largest disaster we are dealing with right now. And with all those nuclear power plants having problems there, it will get a whole lot worse.  The earth is talking to us. Telling us the big change is upon us. Instead of fighting wars in other countries we should be preparing our people for this big change that will change our home, planet Earth, in a way that will make life allot more difficult to survive.  Japan had prepared for this kind of event to a point, but this kind of event to this degree is never fool proof.  My heart does go out to all those who are living through this right now.  I will give one prediction for the near future that some might say makes me sound like a crack pot but it is always a possibility.  Here it is: With all the things happening right now natural disasters and political unrest big changes are inevitable. Governments will fall apart, America included. People will have to rel
