Just thought I would say congrats to senator clinton on her win. She still has plenty of fight left regardless of what senator obama thinks. Looks like he didn't get to make his thank you speech for winning the majority like he thought. Looks like it isn't as easy as he thought it was going to be. Way to go hillary!

Another day, another rise in the gas price
Why is it that when I start to think that things are finally going in a positive way, I am hit with a fucking reality check?! I finally started thinking that I was getting financially stable and bam, back to being broke and unable to afford gas to even get to work to make money. It is ridiculous that $20 worth of gas only gets me to and from school and to and from work, maybe. I use to be able to almost fill my car up with that much. I didn't think that the gas prices would effect me that much but boy I was wrong. Is seems like every other day I am stopping to add another 20 just to get my needle above 1/4th tank. It is just plain stupid.
Before anyone starts saying that maybe I should start riding tarc or walking to and fro, maybe you should ask whether that is possible or not. Let's see from where I live I could walk down a busy, blind hill with no sidewalks to the bowling alley and Thornton's or even Burger King but really what good are these places to me.I cannot walk to the grocery store and then walk back with my groceries. It is not work or school. I have started riding the tarc to work sometimes but I cannot ride it from work during the week cause I have school in Louisville on fern valley. This bus ride takes too long and I would not make it to class until like an hour in so how in the hell am I suppose to get around using my car and paying the price for a gallon of gas?
I just think that we need to find a way to get these ridiculous prices back into a decent range. Why aren't we using our own oil or oil reserves? Does the government like paying over $120 a barrel for oil or having the US Citizens pay almost $4 a gallon? If this keeps up then maybe the should raise the cost of living and make it apply to everyone not just people who are just getting hired.

I have been on leave from work now for about 2 weeks and i have done absolutely nothing except go to school and occasionally visit the bowling alley with my team. I am going to go nuts!! I never thought I would actually mean it when I said I missed work but I do. There are things that are happening at work or better yet aren't happening at work that kills me to know that I can't do anything about. I am slowly losing my front end and the management isn't doing a damn thing to stop it. O well guess I will have to put the pieces back together when I get back, which is soon, I hope.
Well i did do something rather important besides sit there and watch American Idol or Hell's Kitchen (man I love Chef Ramsey!!!) I went out and voted in the indiana primary. I haven't seen such a turn-out for a primary in my entire voting career---which is not long. I just think it is important to vote in every race, not just the presidential ones. That is what our country is suppose to be built on, democracy. Plus if someone gets elected that i don't care for i have the right to bitch because I voted.
Well anyways I guess I am going to leave school now and go indulge in myself! yea me.

dreamers
I have started believing that you and i are dreamers. Hoping the world will one day open their minds and souls up to our dream. Because we see the world at what it could be if only we treated everyone the same. This our dream, were people can be who they are not what people want them to be.
