slowly.
I'm told that it is time for a blogging resurgence. Given that the tell-er and I were at the forefront of the first wave (I'm speaking, of course, only in terms of a small pocket of Saskatchewan), it is my duty to pick up and carry on.
If you are an old reader, you'll notice that my archives are empty, where once there were six and a half years of Rhiality. I just talked about nothing. At the time I thought it was everything. I archived it all, because I don't ever really delete anything. But the internet was dumber for my nonsense, and I feel ok about a clean slate.
So. Today.
I haven't felt like I just NEED to write until a few moments ago. And, if I know my province, my power will be knocked out in mere minutes, preventing me from posting it. I'll write anyway.
There is a truly insane storm happening outside right now. I have the window open (getting sprinkled on) to listen to loud thunder and rain and watch the incredible light show. On my way home, I drove past my turn-off to go to the northwest corner of the city where the street lights stop and you can see the prairie for miles and miles. Absolutely perfect for storm-watching. I sat there for half an hour, listening to country radio and watching the lighting in the distance. It got closer and rainier, so I came home. But I can't tell you how perfect that was. And! I smelled the electricity in the air! It's been a very long time since I experienced that - since stormy nights in small towns. There is nothing more perfectly prairies to me.
I was coming home from the Canada Day fireworks at Wascana Park. They were so great - not any better than any other year, but I love fireworks like a child so it didn't matter. (HUGE CRACK OF THUNDER!) The fireworks closed out a Canada Day that went nothing like I planned but still perfectly. Got up early, ran, went for R3 lunch at O'Hanlon's (what's more perfect for CDay than going for lunch with your friends from the CBC's indie radio station blog?) - and here's where it diverges from the plan. I meant to walk down to the park to loiter all day, eating ice cream and getting sunburnt, hanging out in the beer gardens, listening to kitschy cover bands. But it was so incredibly hot outside that by the time the boy and I walked to our friends' place to meet up with them, we gave up on outside and opted for air-conditioning and the Food Network Canada Day Iron Chef marathon. We had wine-sicles. It was beautiful. (POWER OUT!) We ate at Trifon's on Broad (greasy chicken burger - terribly delicious), walked back in the soupy humidity. We needed air conditioning so we got slurpees and headed for the movie theatre. It was the closest to being a kid that I've felt in a long time. Watched a bad movie, checked the score (we pulled out a win), made for the lake for fireworks.
I'm not sure what it is about my life right now, but I'm feeling really great. It's been many months since I've felt like this - like things are falling into place, my relationships are good, my money and school and work and health are all I could ask them to be. What a fine life I am living.
And today. After walking around downtown, seeing a million fellow Rider fans in green gear flocking to the game, watching fireworks in our beautiful urban park, and seeing this violent storm pick up - but not until the Queen City was finished its Canada Day celebrations - I felt more in love with Canada, Saskatchewan, Regina, than I have since I was a teenager and didn't know there was more out there.
I'll probably move away. But while I'm here, I love this place, unapologetically, without reservations. It has its flaws (so many, many flaws), but it's home.
What a nauseatingly earnest post.

Hey! You listened to me! Didn't see that one coming... I suppose I better get back at it!

You're the poifect girl to tell, miss gorgeous. Meet me Upstairs, babe, and we'll explore worlds you never knew existed. God bless you.
The gods instructed Pharroh to give the Jews gold as temptation, and it worked.
So unlike Pharroh, but an effective corruptor which allowed the gods to justify 40 years of warmongering under Joshua. This caused another host of problems to befall the Jews as well.
The gods used them as "minor partners" with the Italians in the destruction of Planet Earth through "Western Civilization", leading us to where we are today.
Even as peasant farmers we could be lulled::Good weather, bountiful harvests, etc. This is what old-world preachers were good for.
This stereotypical preacher had classic preaching styles:::Loud, damnation-fueled teachings. Contrast to today, preachers who are lulling the Damned into cruise control. The old-world style was important to snap people out of complacency. Unfortunately, in today's enviornment people consider this style insulting, and they lose a precious message designed for the favored of yesterday.
The Republicans got tired of being fingered for the corrupt trash they are and this time around timed the crisis so it would fall into the Democrat's lap with the bailout scandal. Republican donors/friends enjoyed enrichment at the expense of the taxpayer, as we saw with the S&L Scandal in the 80s, but this time they dodged the scorn associated and tried to unload it on the opposing party.
The real estate scandal was different, but fools who do what they are told greased the wheels of this crisis. Now they have the information they need, been foreclosed on and evicted, and are left holding an empty bag labeled "immortality".
The gods played both sides of this event, and those to whom they sold the real estate scam to in the 90s profiteered in the 2000s when the sub-prime machine flew into full gear during the peak of the market in 05-07. But we are all judged for our behavior, real or clone host, and despite perception of priveledge those who participated will suffer poetic justice, unless they have slipped into Damnation and are no longer eligible for punishment.
The gods position their theater like this for a reason::::This alienates the masses who flock to the party of evil liberalism while using the Republicans to prepare for god's will with governmental insolvency and the destruction of the true "evil empire".
The United States is a dumping ground for the disfavored. THis was how it was used during European immigration, this is how it is used today.
The Japanese Earthquake/Tsunami of 3/11/11 was actuslly a good sign for the people. Alarming because it came decades after their most recent admitted atrocities during WWII, at least they will experience corrective punishment, whereas the United States won't be as lucky.
Russia too enjoyed corrective punishment for the 1980 invasion of Afghanistan.
THere is something about this country. Interferring/injuring the Afghan people incurrs he god's wrath. It cost the SOviets their protection of communism. Now the gods have leveled the playing field among the last few white peoples who still enjoyed it on their way to a homogeneous global enviornment. If I am right about the United States we won't be as lucky. When we go down it will be for good, and there will be no recovery.
Yes, the clone host fake politicians have been planning for this for decades. Ronald Reagan turned a $1 trillion Federal debt into $6 trillion at the end of his Administration. Much like W in Iraq, this served to terminate the favor of a group of people. Reagan just didn't have to do it with violence as W did, but he did do it against white people, which says something.
I believe in killing, non-reincarnation:::The only way Planet Earth will achieve sustainability is if we "take out the trash" and the gods allow the most disfavored among us to be eliminated. The bouy is sinking, social decay is becoming ruinous and unless it begins to rise to the surface the gods will get their way and life will end on Planet Earth.
