I agree and understand every point you've made above. I love my dogs the way you love your cat. I live in a farming area and my house is landlocked by beef and sheep farms. , They peer at me through my garden fence my Cow and sheep neighbours, but they don't don't stay long. They eat their grass and run towards the farmers when they come to feed them, just like they do on their last day, on the way to the abattoir. Which is up the road. I think a cloud hangs over our town because of the abattoir. The people who work there are brutalised. I did what you did once, and it lasted 9 years. I have also stopped eating meat again this year.

A man after my own heart. (Can two men do that, I suppose so!). Do you know as I write these posts I'm beginning to realise that I too don't really hate Christmas; like you, I hate what it's become. The trouble is I think it was well on its way to becoming what it is today even before I was born. So when I say I hate Christmas, perhaps I should add the caveat <em>today</em> Wow.

I hate the idiots who take their car out twice a year once in summer then once in Christmas causing accidents and tailbacks because they are indecisive and seriously can't drive causing congestion and delaying my trip to work. I hate the numpties who clog up the shops racking up debt buying shit that no one wants or needs delaying me further when I just want to get my normal every day grocceries. I hate the people who panic buy double their normal grocceries ontop of the christmas food they've purchased because the stores ar closed for one whole day how are we going to cope. I hate the pointless cards from people you don't know on your street "seasons greetings to number 12 form number 26". I hate the fact because people insist on going to stores on boxing day I am delayed picking up my elderly grandmother who wants to spend boxing day with her family. I hate that the next few working day after boxing days I have to go into to restock the stores with all this crap that shouldn't have been bought but was bought because hey it's the boxing day sales. I hate the boxing day sale the price is more than it is the rest of the year how is that a sale. I hate the fact it's deemed weird to be over 20 and single at christmas you are sidelined from get togethers it's couples only if they invited more singles to hang around with them maybe we would hook up "duhh". I hate the fake sentimentality and charity that goes with this commercialised christmas. I just want to rest from the year by all means sell christmasy stuf but don't be so in my face with it, I do believe that nationally every single shop should be forced into closing there doors at midnight on the 23 of december and not allowed to open again until midday January 2 at the earliest anyone caught opening their doors should be hung from the fake tree the have erected and stoned to death with the cheap tacky decorations they have hung up, people need time to be allowed to stop and chill out and rexla from the year not purchase shite and certainly not have to go into work to re supply the shite for people to purchase.

I just thought that a better solution for me would be to use Wordpress with a Sweetcronesque lifestream plugin rather than use Sweetcron with a Wordpressesque blogging ability. It's unusual for me as I usual go with the lesser known tool since that's the way I think.I hasten to add however that my Sweetcron site is still lurking under the surface. The Database and site are still there. just not linked to a domain at the moment. I could always bring it back at a moments notice! I almost dropped Wordpress to use Sweetcron alone.

He, like you, wanted a blog, Sweetcron's not a blog platform, so the move makes sense. If you posting a lot of unique content, a blog's the way to go. Just as you've decided to use the wordpress lifestream plug-in, I still think there's a place for lifestreaming and sweetcron in this social networking world though.For me, Sweetcron is a collection of my involvement across all the sites I use. For people who don't use those networks, but still find my posts useful, it's a central location they can come to check out or just subscribe to a particular RSS feed. For me in particular it usually breaks down into... Latest tech news (Friendfeed & Twitter), viral videos (Youtube), artsy videos (Vimeo), new songs (Blip.fm) and latest web dev/design links (Mento.info).I've recently just started to blog a bit more, so I have a wordpress install running along side my sweetcron at http://mitchmckenna.com/blog . When I post a video on facebook or twitter, I'll often post the link to the video on my site instead of the youtube or vimeo link. Bringing more hits to my site and people end up exploring more of my site such as my blog. With little dev from Yong Fook and all this commotion of him "switching to posterous" it will be interesting to see where the platform goes, lots of people are still deving on it and I hear several people talk of creating a fork.
