The days of finding good honest opinions about a lot of things is getting harder and harder. The influence of advertisers and their money is creating a vacuum in journalism. one must sift through pages of links to find unbiased editorials. And there appears to be no shame in "going along with the crowd" with even veteran journalists.
The speed, the greed and all those eyeballs to hijack is just too tempting to the super rich who can afford to pay writers to write what they want. Trouble is is everyone is doing it to the point that you can't believe anybody anymore.
This is the worst that the internet has brought on us. And I'm afraid it will get way worse before anything can be done about it. If in fact anything can be done. The speed and ability to adjust to anything is what happens. Don't agree? Look no further then the robo trading programs where computer programs trade stocks in milliseconds. Shit my friends, is hitting the fan!

Changes
Today I want to get personal. What I mean by that is talk about what I'm going through and where I'm headed.
I've been living with my ex in the family house for the last two years and the time has come for me to leave. It has been a while since we divorced but it took a long time for it to become final in my mind. When you live with someone for a long time it's hard to break routines and I found myself doing exactly what I was before we split. Same arguments, same issues keep coming up.
I of coarse never thought it would become a relationship again, and did not expect anything while I was here. The deal was to spend more time with my youngest still living here and to allow the ex time to take a long break and do some traveling. We didn't know how it would work out in the end. But the end has come and I will be moving on very soon.
At this stage of my life I'm reinventing what and how I live. I plan to move back to Ontario and be close to my oldest daughter. But a lifestyle change is coming as well. I'm moving with very little in the way of possessions, basically the cloths I own and my gardening tools. I still plan to grow a garden where ever I end up. I have some ideas for a business and plan on playing a lot of poker tournaments. It will be a new way to live, and maybe a new blog will come of it. Restarting life at 58 with a bad back and no income. Should be interesting and I think I will be writing about it when I get settled.
