The crazy economy, the crazy environment and why should I care?

Oil prices dipped below $62 bbl (finally) but the Arabs think the remedy to recession is cutting their output. Logical. And the sissies in the financial markets are wetting their pants and getting their clammy fingers on whatever “investments” they have left, leaving a large vacuum with a “schluuup” sucking sound not unlike the wind of poetic justice swooshing between their ears.

Some might argue there’s no point throwing good money after the bad. Methinks it’s more of throwing dumberness after dumbness. And out of all this the USD grows stronger than ever when its economy is on the verge of a meltdown. The logic behind finance is mind-boggling. Sure, oil’s tied to USD, hedge funds are tied to USD, food is tied to the USD blah blah blah. Come to think of it, even my neighbour’s dog’s leash is tied to USD, which explains why the entire world is being sucked into the whirlpool of US shitty debt down the proverbial hellhole.

And how does this affect me? It’s always the older-than-thou selfish mentality, and I’m the grubby unfed child who has to clean up after their alcoholic dad’s puke. So here I am, 6 months shy of graduation, which beautifully coincides with the anticipated (i’m not even sure if anticipated is a good word) trough of the worst recession in recent history, and soon to appreciate that reality is a big wet kiss from a whazzitsname-fish that looks like this . And eBaying’s no longer cheap with increase freight and poorer SGD-USD conversion. And I think I’m falling for a person who’s probably over me. F***.

Timing, timing, timing. My greatest enemy.
