As an idler I pledge...

Some of the pledges made so far:
To strive not to work ridiculous hours, especially not for some corporate wankster. To strive to eat nice stuff that doesn't go ping at the end. I will not let stress intrude upon me where possible. Eat more home grown veg. To procreate and make idle babies. To eat slowly. To drink real ales frequently. To sing more. To smile more. To step off the 9-5 merry-go-round before I get queasy. To amuse myself in public as well as in private. To strive to amuse others as well as myself. To know that work is merely for paying the bills. To always remember that friends are a source of strength. To enjoy the simple things. To spend quality time in nature. To spend less with big businesses and corporations. To make lots of nice things instead. To go against the grain. To strive to make a difference, to the world and people around you... however small. To be happy!!! Read the pledges and add your own in the forum

Choices

Hmmm, choices, eh? We all have to make them...forgive my brevity, but these are the choices as i perceive them... * take out a mortgage/rent * salubrious area/less salubrious area for said mortgaged/rented abode * work/ live a glorious life laced with bliss when emancipated * purchase new car to enhance or validate status/ settle for an old clunker or use alternative transport * acquire the biggest and best of every gadget and accessory that money or visa will provide/settle for used or discarded items that have no enahancement value to the herd Simple really. Any knucklehead that is hostage to his/her own grubby capitalistic aspirations deserves every sadistic moment in the gulag of their own choice...fuck work, in every context and permutation, unless, of course one has to do as little as possible to be avoid being rendered starving and living in a gutter somewhere ...
