This is my second blog.
You can read the first one at www.alteredinindia.tumblr.com. The first one, although much narrower in
scope, was such an enjoyable experience that I’ve decided a second, far more
expansive blog is necessary. I use this
term very loosely, as it is necessary to me and me only. I have however; boldly adorned a pair of rose
coloured glasses and a delusional belief that I have a voice that others may be
interested in hearing. And as I have already
quit my day job, what the hell, I’ve got nothing better to do.
You will find a couple of sickeningly autobiographical posts
sprinkled in initially. I’m doing this
for one obvious reason. So obvious in fact, that I feel the need to explain
it. As I’ve presumptuously chosen to
write on the subject of life and spirituality there are a number of things about
me that I need to get out in the open from the start. If you know me, you may find some of it
shocking or possibly it may just provide an explanation or two. Regardless,
it will just add some needed perspective.
As has been my recent tendency, I have and will continue to splay myself
emotionally and philosophically within the content of this blog. I will also shamelessly promote this blog
using all forms of Social Networking and any other way I can possibly think of
to attract a reader. I don’t care if you
write it in lipstick on the mirror of your local pub or scratch it into the
glass of a phone booth (like these exist any longer) just please feel free to
share the link with anyone you know.
There is a travel blog that I occasionally read called the
“Everywhereist”. At times it’s quite
humourous. The author is obviously a person of
integrity as she clearly states on the blog that she is not interested in
advertising, sponsorships, nor will she review products in exchange for free
samples.
I too am a person of integrity. A lot of the content you are about to read
may lead you to believe otherwise but let me clearly state that I am totally
interested in advertising, sponsorship and will review the kibble you feed your
pet parakeet if it means I’ll get something free in return.
Of course the raw materials for the kibble will have to be
acquired directly from small scale, fair-trade organic farmers and co-ops. This will of course need to be certified and
auditable. The end product must be
produced in biodynamic carbon neutral manufacturing facilities that can prove
their commitment to sustainability by utilizing alternative energies such as
biogas, wind, solar or other such greenhouse gas emissions reductions
initiatives. Once produced and packaged
in compostable packages, or at the very least using certified sustainable paper
from managed forests that maintain bio-diversity programs and respect the
treaty rights of any of the native North Americans located near or on the
logging site, it will be prepared for shipment using shipping containers that do
not utilize plastic shrink wrap. The
product must then be transported in hybrid delivery vehicles that adhere to the
marked speed limits of all jurisdictions throughout the journey and follow the
anti-idling initiatives of the local municipality at the final
destination. The retail outlet will of
course have to have a section on their website dedicated to their environmental
initiatives in regard to packaging and disposal of all waste product.
Oh and you will have to prove to me that there has not been
irreversible damage done to the Parakeet species through the generations of
domesticating and selling birds as pets.
But other than that, I will do just about anything, as long
as it stays a hair inside the realm of good taste, if it will provide me a
modicum of revenue. This, my dear
friends, I believe to be the cyclical nature of the universe.
