Financial Markets

There's so much talk about the world's financial markets these days. I've been finding myself talking and talking and talking about the current craziness in the financial markets. The funny thing is that I don't really understand the whole situation. I feel like I can grasp small pieces here and there, but I don't get the big picture. But it doesn't stop me from talking about it.

I realized that I enjoy the worst, worst, worst case scenarios. At least the fantasy in them. I'm quite sure I wouldn't like them in real life. A few weeks ago, I was saying we better get some land so that we start growing our own food. This morning, I was telling Chris about how we're going to liquidate our assets, default on our loans, and move to a temperate country in Asia when it gets really bad. Maybe this interest in the worst case scenarios comes from too many movies.

This kind of talk is very silly of me, but I suppose it's easier to delve into fantasy world than to wrap my mind around the reality. Maybe it's time to brush up on my knowledge of global economics...or it's time to write a screenplay.
