Rapanui Reality

As time continues to run out, the options for alternative housing are dwindling. The idea of purchasing a boat to use as a residence was nixed because slip rental fees have increased to $1,200 per month on average. Can you believe it? I could, of course, purchase a mini-van or utility vehicle and pay to park it in a parking structure. Then, I could sneak in at night to sleep. Yet, how long would that last? How long before I am discovered? How long before I succumb to chronic fatigue due to a totally transient life-style?

The situation in Hawai'i continues to degenerate. Frankly, the sole reason is overpopulation, especially on the island of O'ahu. I have metaphorically referred to the Moai (i.e., stoneheads) on Rapanui (Easter Island) in the old "blog." The metaphor holds true today. People from who-knows-where keep migrating here in exponentially increasing numbers. Then, along with the locals, they breed like there's no tomorrow. We have already surpassed any capability for sustainability. Heck, trash has to be shipped out on barges to the mainland empire. The infrastructure is overtaxed well beyond capacity. Wealth inequality is on a par with all third-world nations. Yet, we continue to erect more figurative stoneheads. Hawai'i is, in essence, the microcosmic model of a future global collapse, at least in terms of humanity.

I visited the coffee shop in town again this morning. A cup of coffee, free wireless Net access, young hotties galore, music ... a safe haven that is conducive to composing the "blog." What a difference from the fast food joint just a block away, where senior citizens, the homeless, the destitute, the clinically insane, and the chronically obese congregate. Of course, I will have to stop drinking coffee and purchase more healthy food instead. Sheesh!

After exiting the gym after my usual workout and shower, I ran into my formerly-homeless buddy. He was sitting at a table outside the fast food joint. We ended up at a table closer to the bus stop and ended up chatting for an hour. We joked around about the various homeless options, although I believe that he was half-serious. We have also tentatively agreed to meet and partake of that early "Black Friday" events on Thursday evening (aka No-Holiday Holiday). Sounds good to me.

Ol' Lavahead Mini-Update®
I have been tuning in to RT News every evening on the Net for at least an hour. I have truly enjoyed the various programming. Now, I find myself incapable of returning to the "mainstream" media of empire. No loss there, though.
