my life as a artist
paper ghosts
Tuesday 7th October 2008 7:30 PM
I see that a three-hundred-year old pyramid-selling scheme, commonly known as the banking system, is finally collapsing under the weight of its own delusional greed. My schadenfreude is tempered by the fact that I am fully implicated, having taken out an £8,000 loan with the co-operative bank in 2004, either to buy a boat, or two kilos of hand-rubbed Manali charas, I can't remember which. Because there's always a pay-back with this sort of thing, I've been paying it back, at £125 a month, and after four years I think I owe them about £9,000. Their advertising claim of 'ethical banking' is obviously an oxymoron, whereas I'm just a moron.
Although my gut instinct tells me that it's all a massive scam, the actual mechanics of it all are fiendishly complicated. Henry Ford once said 'It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning."
Much earlier, the Rothschild Brothers of London noted, "The few who understand the system, will either be so interested from its profits or so dependant on its favours, that there will be no opposition from that class."
Paper money will soon be the ghost of money, and once more, gold and other precious metals will re-assert themselves as the true measure of wealth. As the top scorer for York Corinthians last season, I'm the holder of the 'golden boot' award, a solid platinum football boot with gold studs, mounted on an obsidian plinth. I'm so desperate to retain it, that yesterday I played two games, one for the morning team and one for the afternoon team, in an attempt to get on the score-sheet. However, my ability to hit cow's arses with banjoes seems to have deserted me for the moment, and I fear that at the end of May my hope of future security will go the way of my strike-partner, the fabulous Bustling Brian.
My Mum says that I ought to melt the boot down and make a copy of it in cheap plastic, and although this is not the way of the immaculate warrior, it is an option. I don't think anyone would notice, and at the end of the day the 'golden boot' is all about honour and glory, not financial security. It's either that or getting a bigger banjo.

Do you have a spam problem on this site; I also am a blogger, and I was wondering your situation; we have created some nice procedures and we are looking to trade techniques with other folks, please shoot me an email if interested.

Great blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from somewhere? A theme like yours with a few simple tweeks would really make my blog jump out. Please let me know where you got your theme. Kudos

Hmm is anyone else experiencing problems with the images on this blog loading? I'm trying to figure out if its a problem on my end or if it's the blog. Any responses would be greatly appreciated.

Just about all of whatever you say is supprisingly appropriate and that makes me ponder why I hadn't looked at this with this light before. Your article truly did turn the light on for me personally as far as this specific subject goes. Nonetheless at this time there is 1 point I am not necessarily too cozy with so whilst I make an effort to reconcile that with the core theme of your issue, allow me observe exactly what all the rest of your subscribers have to point out.Very well done.

Hey! Do you know if they make any plugins to protect against hackers? I'm kinda paranoid about losing everything I've worked hard on. Any tips?

Hello just wanted to give you a quick heads up and let you know a few of the pictures aren't loading properly. I'm not sure why but I think its a linking issue. I've tried it in two different web browsers and both show the same results.

Hello there! This post couldn't be written any better! Reading through this post reminds me of my previous room mate! He always kept chatting about this. I will forward this write-up to him. Pretty sure he will have a good read. Thanks for sharing!

Hi there! This is my 1st comment here so I just wanted to give a quick shout out and tell you I really enjoy reading your posts. Can you recommend any other blogs/websites/forums that go over the same topics? Thanks for your time!

When I initially commented I clicked the "Notify me when new comments are added" checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get several emails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove people from that service? Thank you!

Hmm it appears like your website ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I guess I'll just sum it up what I submitted and say, I'm thoroughly enjoying your blog. I as well am an aspiring blog writer but I'm still new to everything. Do you have any tips for inexperienced blog writers? I'd definitely appreciate it.
