Financial Crisis + The young Artist...

Dear friends,
All the newspapers and on TV they keep talking about the Financial crisis that as hit the banks. I am not surprised like many others as we have been heading this way for quite some time now. I don't know you... but I thought this more than a year and half ago so what can I say I am not shocked.
Some people say, that this situation was brought upon by the media which is a bit crazy in my opinion because the media it's merely reporting what's going on out there. Naturally being the 'media' they will use some shocking titles to grab the attention of the reader so that their newspapers will sell more. In this respect I have seen some really good titles around on British newspapers such as: The Bonfire of the Billionaires or Millionaires or something or Black Monday or Black Friday can't remember which day it was!! As for me that day was, a really good day. I was happily painting away oblivious to the media. I mean honestly, if you don't want to get worried about what's going on out there don't watch TV, listen to the radio or read the newspapers, if not read them but don't get flustered. There is nothing you can do about it if you have got no money and you are single you have got nothing to worry about, but if you do have a family or lots of savings check your options. If the banks go bust they go bust, Amen. The people who I really feel for are the people who lost their savings in the Icelandic scandal who did not realise in time that the shit was hitting the fan. I hope they will get their money back. They are in my thoughts, I pray for them.
Many people are sitting in their offices or at home thinking their bank could go under next, which is a very likely possibility. Who knows? I think the times to get worried are the times when we will have social disorders due to lack of food and water . So my advice to you my artist friend out there if you can Live a self sustainable lifestyle meaning live on a farm and grow your own stuff, this would the best way forward. But Just in case you ain't going to make it to the countryside or you read my blog to late, keep boxes of tin food hidden away so you can seat the crisis out.
All the best,
XXX
