Too long indeed.

Enjoying and suffering the ups and downs of a 49yo manic depressive scraaaaaaaaping by on welfare. Had a bunch of real life drama for no reason other than a perfect storm of flukey circumstances. Got threw it, after a month of no interwebs, got new monitors. I've been building a whole bunch of stuff out of cardboard, bamboo skewers, and wood glue - the latter being my "big" expense. Models of things to be used in my big Bittersweet Seeds story, and bonus: I didn't expect to find so much great "inspired by real life" content to include.

And, Canada just had a big election. I was part of my local Green Party campaign. While it's not much of anything to speak of, it was inspiring and I hope to carry on the momentum, unless some major issue(s) arises. With my new monitors I can do graphics again. Now I can get off my procrastinating ass and finish some banners, wrap up some CSS if necessary and ditch a bunch of subs, and start one that has been on my list from the beginning: /s/GreenParty, and maybe: /s/WindsorOntario. I'm confident some of these folks will participate and organize here.

I'm a little disappointed at some changes here on SaidIt. Big slump. I guess there's no chat? Seems like "reply" is not working some places. And I see a lot of bitter BrainCels around moping bout nothin. Is that the latest infestation?

After Xmas (and my bamboo gifts) I'll be spending my energy on starting 2 new websites - one for my 3 projects (Bittersweet Seeds, Trutherism 101, and Glossed And Profound) and one for the Green Party, but it would likely be called something like "Green Friends" or something. Unless one already exists. We will openly develop our local campaign, invite other regions to do likewise, observe and share each other's progress and ideas, and help specific regions that actually have a chance at a seat. Last election the Green Party won 1 seat, this time Greens won 3, next time...? It starts with the foothold. Most importantly the Green Party supporters can democratically voice what they want their region to deal with, what issues they stand for, etc etc etc - instead of being told what it's about and voting for cardboard characters. Authentic democracy. At present the Green Party of Canada and Green Party of Ontario sites are okay but they are NOT interactive and only share a tiny bit of information.

We plan on doing a podcast too. I've had Green Party promotional animation ideas for over 12 years. It could be good. I'm going to push my hardest to push open-source and skepticism (trutherism) into the platform - and if necessary down the road start another party - The Open-Green Party or even The Open Skeptics Green Party. They can reject or embrace us if we succeed, though ideally we would fold back into the Green Party proper to be stronger and help redefine and improve it. It would also be nice to embrace and promote some FLOSS crypto blockchain voting system(s).

Every winter the heater turns on and vibrates the house until I'm nauseous. I think I'm finally getting used to it. Since before Halloween I've been in my pre-SaidIt rut/habit of devouring YouTubes while seeking out more info and downloading it all, even if I'll never see it. I think I'm finally pulling out of it. Too much to do. Won't be on SaidIt too much if I can help it, besides my projects, old and hopefully new.
