I have never felt so exhausted in all my life. Every ounce of energy in my body was converted to the demise of this place. I will never be able to live in San Francisco again. It's a black fucking hole.

Eco
Global warming kicked in with a vengeance in 2007 and ecosystems crashed like never before. We finally had to admit that our fossil fuel-based way of living had thrown the planet out of whack for hundreds, maybe thousands of years. The year 2007 may well be remembered by future generations as the year the Earth tipped, the moment when this 30,000 generation-long experiment of ours on Planet Earth suddenly veered out of control.
Psycho
The number of marketing messages hitting our brains soared to an astonishing 5,000 per day. Mental health statistics flew off the charts. Teenagers cut and burned themselves and committed suicide in record numbers. Something tragic was happening and we didn’t know what it was. It may be the beginning of a psycho-system collapse and the loss of our clarity of mind as a species.
2007 also saw millions of people making the breakthrough connection between advertising and their own mental health. Perhaps the most significant moment occurred last January when São Paulo became the first city in the world to ban outdoor advertising and declare itself ad-free – hopeful signs that we may finally be seeing the birth of a mental environmental movement that will take back the space we need to think clear, crisp thoughts again.
Corpo
Stock markets soared to new heights in 2007, but also saw the first signs of cracks when the subprime market crashed. Suddenly all those billions of abstract dollars flying around felt more like a giant Ponzi scheme destined to collapse at any moment. And this time, unlike in 1929, we won’t have the forests, oceans and the natural wealth of the planet to fall back on.
We also saw an unprecedented questioning of the fundamental assumptions behind capitalism and its neoclassical underpinnings. Ordinary people everywhere scratched their heads and wondered: why were financial markets peaking at this most ominous environmental moment in our history?
Politico
2007 saw a dramatic shift from a unipolar to a more multipolar way of running global affairs. Russia, China, India, Brazil, Iran, Venezuela and other Latin American countries all flexed their geopolitical muscles like never before.
Many of the ideas the left has been kicking around for years, like global voting systems (GVS), simultaneous national policies and a world parliament, suddenly made a lot of sense. In 2008, look for a more muscular United Nations and more buzz around the idea of global democracy. Adbusters will launch a competition to design the flag that this United States of Planet Earth can proudly fly.
Anarcho
In one of his recent lectures, French philosopher Alain Badiou said that the old revolutionary ideal of negation as destruction does not work anymore – we need a new concept. He listed composer Arnold Schoenberg as an example of an innovator who created a totally new tonal system – “a new framework for the musical activity” and “a new coherence for musical discourse,” all without destroying the old. There’s a hint there for how we on the left can turn our whiny, complaint-based style of capitalist negation into a magical and innovative new force for change.
On the personal front
Waves of euphoria, waves of despair... day by day, we come to realize that the simplest, most elegant solution to living in a warming world is to rethink freedom, rethink the idea that each one of us has the God-given right to drive to the supermarket, fly to Mexico on a whim and keep our living spaces toasty warm all winter. What we, the rich one billion people of the First World need before it’s too late, is a good whack to the head – something bigger than a real estate crisis, bigger than oil costing over $100 a barrel, bigger even than the crash of 1929. We need to be prodded, shocked, terrorized and made to live.

I was admitted to the hospital again last night. The night before I had started experiencing extreme pain and called to make an appointment with my doctor. She had me get an MRI and turns out sure enough that the infection had spread to my bone. They are short on doctors because of the holiday and so now I have to wait for surgery. I'm on a diladed pump and they give me either oxicotin or morphine orally for the pain. I'm scared and never thought I would have to come back, I thought I was done and cured. I'm afraid that this time it will be worse, I feel weak and defeated. I don't know how long I'll be here, but I have to quit work. I felt as though I was finally making a recovery from the first time I was ill but now I'm just back where I started expect that the infection has latched onto my femer and not my knee cap. I don't want to have to put off school any longer, I would just like to be able to have my life back.

Had to cut 10 inches off my hair because those damn nurses wouldn't brush my god damn hair and I was too fucked up to realize that there was a problem. Came out of the hospital with a single dread and no hope. I took my dread home and sent it to that bitch ass nurse with a thank you note attatched. Annnyways im quite bitter. I have septic arthiritis and it fucked up my joint meaning i'll have a lifelong limp and a bad ass cane. Whatever I get the better parking spaces now.
Sarahhh we are having a my "returning" party in about a week or two and I want you and whoever to make it over.

They are finally letting me out of the hospital tomorrow. I have been here since the 7th, meaning no shower since then as well. I've had four surgeries and my leg feels like its going to snap in half, they have it in a machine that bends in back and forth and at this point I can only get to 65%.
My roommates really let me down, I was supposed to go to my home in Sunset but they expressed concern that I was too much of a responsibility and feared that they would get infected even though the infection is completly out of my system. They think im an invalid that needs help changing her bed pan. Fucking ridiculous. They also took my pain meds without asking. A real disappointment.
Anyways I miss San Diego and John and Cody and Lauren. Life is hard and sucks right now. I have to take a medical leave for a semester. UGHHHHHHHHHHHH

Tonight was ridiculous. We finally got rolled, but they only took our new bong. They didn't search the house thank god, the bong was just on the counter when they showed up. When the cops walked in one of them said "I could get high just walking into this apartment" and then they saw the Nick Cave poster that says "The only good cop is a dead cop" . AHHHH We're lucky they didn't call housing, they only took Sam and John's info. We wouldn't have had to deal with all this shit but John threw up in front of our apartment in front of an RA.
( bah )

Being here is getting better. I started drinking lots of chamomile tea and reading.
I think I may go on a road trip across the country this summer with my roommate and visit every state we know people in. I would love to see the South and Boston. Sam had her friend from UC Davis come and she was such a sincere person. It was so refreshing. The only reason people move to San Francisco is to meet people like themselves and I much rather meet someone nothing like me. San Francisco has made me loathe boots and brown hair.

Because I could not stop for Death,
He kindly stopped for me;
The carriage held but just ourselves
And Immortality.
We slowly drove, he knew no haste,
And I had put away
My labor, and my leisure too,
For his civility.
We passed the school, where children strove
At recess, in the ring;
We passed the fields of gazing grain,
We passed the setting sun.
Or rather, be passed us;
The dews grew quivering and chill,
For only gossamer my gown,
My tippet only tulle.
We paused before house that seemed
A swelling of the ground;
The roof was scarcely visible,
The cornice but a mound.
Since then 'tis centuries, and yet each
Feels shorter than the day
I first surmised the horses' heads
Were toward eternity.
