The Canary Becomes the Goose

I, the Yellow Canary, have officially become The Goose. My blog has been moved to:

http://goosed-log.blogspot.com/

You are welcome to read through my nearly 150 old entries in the Yellow Canary Blog, which range from May 2004 to April 2006.

Why the transformation? The Yellow Canary is all about warning people — just like the birds that miners would take down into a mine shaft. When the bird died, the miners knew the air was bad and that it was time to get out of there. I've given up trying to warn people because no one is listening and few people care. The Goose is a better reflection of what I really am — cynical, disillusioned, and disgusted. But, the Goose still has hope and is determined to carry on. Why the name "Goosed?" Because I feel like I've been goosed, and that the whole world has been goosed. Everything is goosed, yet it is still our responsibility for each one of us to try and make things better. The Goose keeps flying despite the storm. Yep, he sure does.

What is Goose Log?

I actually have no idea. This is a continuation of my old blog, The Yellow Canary. I am switching to Blogger because a) It's prettier, b) Maybe someone might actually read it here, and c) I can now blog remotely.

The purpose of my blog? For the last 10 months I've just felt disgusted with the world — not depressed anymore, but just DISGUSTED. I am just absolutely amazed how people "just don't get it" in regards to the future of our country and world. Either people are in a form ofpsychoticc denial or else they are amazingly ignorant and shallow.

The United States is going deeper into debt, and our population is exploding. The rest of the world is faring no better. Really, the whole place is goosed.

But, I am an idealist and I have hope that there will soon come a Great Awakening and the birth of a new, worldwide movement — the Sustainability Movement. I know that I am a lowly bricklayer and foundation layer for this movement. I know that I ain't no charismatic leader. But I know that leaders will come, and I will do my best to encourage and support both leaders and followers.

So, pig out at your Mickey D's, play ping pong in your McMansion, and have fun driving your SUV all over the place. As for me, I'm going to at least try to make a little difference. Most people in this world are just existing, but you will never live until you try to make things better.
