Welcome!!!

Hello!!!

Today is my first day at this, I've never blogged before but I decided to start this blog because I am tired of talking to myself and thought that I would start a place of my own where I could rant about all of the things that are making me happy, sad, indifferent, whatever. I have alot of issues and am wondering if I am the only person in the world who feels a certain way about things. If you look at my little list to the left you can see some of the issues that I have. What I want to know is, am I just complaining, do I have a right to complain? Is it just me or are things looking a little f***ed up right now in general?

I have lived in Denver for the past 28 years and in that time I have seen alot of changes that include the size of the city(massive growth, job issues) , transportation issues (RTD, lightrail, airports), housing (too expensive, homelessness, too many houses), and so many others. I feel that Denver,like the rest of the country, is having a growth spurt like a pre-pubescant teenager and I am wondering when the adolescent is going to finally become an adult. I feel that there are alot of issues with growth that were never really addressed during the 90's,when all of the upsizing began, and we are now dealing with the consequences.

Let's start with transportation as an example of how growth has produced some unintended hardships, I recently posted a blog on Yelp concerning the state of RTD (Regional Transportation District) due to the fact that all of the other posts seemed to be saying how wonderful RTD was and I wanted to show that all is not well with our transportation system. Here is what I posted: http://www.yelp.com/biz/rtd-regional-transportation-district-denver-2

it's under Jenny R. I really feel this way, I feel that alot of people are getting the short end of the stick and mainly it's due to this thing called privatization - which I will explain in further detail later. One of the things that I see that I am definately not happy with is this land grabbing excuse called eminent domain, I have included some videos from YouTube about this little practice and posted them here.

The above videos are just one example of how people are being disrespected by corporations and big government in general. I hope that the people in the above examples can find some sort of closure that allows them some financial gain on their lost properties. Well that is it for now, I'll be sure to rant more later. This seems like it's going to be fun. Take care of yourself.

Jenny.
