My 1 Wish...

If I could have one thing in the world I would wish for immortality. To be frozen in time and never age (lest I choose to.) I would wish that this imortatilty made me invunerable to physical harm and any damage. The negatives of this is in order for that to work my system would have to slow down completely. My heart would have to no longer beat and I would never be able to eat; for all systems that would wear over time should have to stop. But I would then have time to enjoy everything that life has to offer without being afraid of dying or being hurt.

My "CAR"

My car is a slow, beet up, NOISY, Grand AM. Sadly, though, I could not live without it. The ragged old thing gets me from place to place and allows me to see my friends and girlfriend. Also it gets me to and from work. Without it I would be poor and anti-social. Sooooo, thank you noisy, old, "rolling turd."

This New Nation

"We are not a collective of red and blue states but we are the United States of America!" -Obama (President elect.) As of last night our country is one step farther from oppression and toward a world where the American people can be lead by someone not of the norm of what our predecessors set for us.

Barack Obama is truly a worthy leader and I hope that people will not place bias upon him just because their parents taught them it was okay. I have seen first hand how cruel people can be to others not the same as them, and it is unacceptable. However, one is entitled to their own opinion.

America's "Dependence" on Foreign Oil

America's dependence on foreign oil best compared to a drug addiction. Whoever is in charge of whose oil we use is probably confused. It's like America is the guy at the party, bumming cigarettes off of everyone when he's got a full pack in his pocket. We seem to want to waste what everyone else has before get to our own supply.

The United States imports more than 20 million barrels of oil a day, and we use it all... We leave no room for comfort, buying over sized SUV's and large trucks that are far from fuel efficient, and we use them to drive our happy selves around. Strangely whenever I see a very large vehicle on the road I see that there is usually only one person in that robust monster.

This phenom is probably because of the way our culture works. Now it seems that if one wishes to be seen as wealthy he/she must drive in something that that takes up an entire road. something that takes so much gas that the fumes are intoxicating. Yet we complain when gas prices reach all new highs.

Like to fuel vehicles, gas is also used to fuel our addictions. People will drive for many miles to go see people waist precious gas at a NASCAR race. Why, are we that absurd? Instead of using someone else's oil to fuel our giant idiotic gas-guzzlers we should use what we have here. The question, I guess, is how much of our own oil do we have left?
