Hemp. Hemp hemp. Hempitty hempty hemp hemp hemp. HEEEEEEEEEMMMP!!!!!HEMP!!! Hemp.... So I watched a movie online the other day from like 1994 titled "The Hemp Revolution" and when it was over I actually threw up in my mouth a little bit (okay that's a lie )... Ironically, I put this movie on to act as ambient noise while I sat in a chair and recycled old mail which I had never even opened.... This movie is a real think piece.

Having finished watching "Gasland" (on YouTube, not mega upload, thank you very much) an hour ago, I feel really sick to my stomach. I would like to apologize again for working in the oil and gas industry. The last job I had was preparing a refinery to accept natural gas piped in from Marselis, Pennsylvania so that they could convert it (ethane) into ethylene, which they then polymerized (I think) into poly-ethylene, or plastic. This is where it comes from.

I breathed a sigh of relief this afternoon as I realized my first attempt at a blog; "Moving Forward with ‘Moving Forward’ " had been published. Somebody must think I'm on the right track. So now I’d like to expand on some of my ideas and maybe present some new ones...The first one took me a few days to write and I struggled to keep it short and thus readable....

At the risk of sounding like "that guy" and promoting ownership, has anybody else considered just buying some land and starting a small scale "Venus Project"?... Hear me out... If you wanted to build a 10,000-acre city then you'd need 10,000 acres of land, wouldn't you? Easier said than done…
