What's Credit?

I remember one time in my life, a long long time ago (in a land far far away...ok ok not really) I had a hope, a glimmer of possibility for the future. And then I went to college and got my first credit card, and within six months that dream was gone. I've never been able to recover from that bad credit incident, and it's been living paycheck to paycheck ever since.

Why do I tell you this? Because today I was thinking about credit, and how nice it would be right now if I had a credit card, I may be a little more able to get something off the ground here, something started, even if that is moving (again) to somewhere friendlier than CT. There, yes, I said it. CT is NOT a friendly place. It is a cold hard selfish materialistic place where people stare at you and then give you the finger for looking back at them (*disclaimer This not apply to any of my friends, for I do not hang out very long with dickish people, so y'all are safe, I'm not talking about you right now...I'm talking about Fairfield County).

We have come to live in this world driven strictly by economics, where human isn't human and the other half is unwelcome or driven under the bridge for shelter, left begging for food because the school system sucks and fucking NO ONE is willing to do what it takes to fix it, any of it, for fear they won;t get elected again next year. We rely on things like credit and capital to get us through, 'It takes money to make money' is as true now as ever was. And that pot is shrinking, or stagnant with many (MANY... see any article on 'the current state of entrepreneurialism' in Amerika for reference if you want a piece a this) hands trying to get in the pot.

Just some thoughts to get out of my head, and write my way to mental clarity. It helps, as I have SO much to do with starting this company and finding a job and looking for freelance work and  just living. OK, time to go carve out my section of the pie, time to get my piece.
