Procastination
We arn't actually procrastinating, but we are behind on our talk show progress. Finding and deciding on topics, and a tag line has took a good amount of time. But, it will get done. We will pwn.
Blue
The color blue is everywhere, and its the best color. It's in the sky and on my pants, and on the bottom of this computer monitor, and theres some blue on the board over there. And There is blue on the two Gs on the Google logo...yep. Blue is everywhere.
Cold Weather
I really don't like cold weather, especially when there is no snow to play with. I hate being cold, and being out in the cold, and without snow on the ground there is no reason to go outside and play. However, I like staying inside anyways, so the weather doesn't affect me too much.
My Weekend
My weekend wasn't too full of events, but it wasn't lame, I guess. On Saturday, me and Sarah Faulkingham went to McDonalds to eat. Umm...then I went home and slept. And on Sunday, I woke up, played RockBand, then went with my family to Sears for some employee sale. That was boring.
Food Science State Champions!
So, the other day, me and five other Payson FFA members went to the Illinois State competition for Food Science, and we won. Now that we are the epic state winners, we get to compete at the National level next year. We also get a free ride to National Convention, which is an extremely fun 4-day trip to Indianapolis. Yep, Payson FFA people pwn at life.
Technology
Technology has definately made my life better, and a lot easier. With the use of computers and the internet, I can research any fact I need to clarify, find solutions to problems, and play almost any game I want when I get bored. Life would be a lot harder with the internet, and every day it is expanding to make life a little bit more easier. Also, with the use of video games and TVs, I get bored nearly never. There's always a new game to play or a new show to watch. I don't know how people back in the day lived without all this nice, fancy technology.
One Wish
If I had one wish, I would wish for a thousand more wishes. Then, I could get working on my dream world. First, I would wish for Blake to give me his LittleBigPlanet and his PS3, cause it looks so epic. Then, I would wish for some amazingly fast internets, because I need it. Oh, and a new car with a cool air freshener, and a giant house with a bowling alley and mini-golf course. Ooh, and a casino, and a umm...a giant TV that plays all the newest, best video games. Yeah, that'd be nice.
My TV
My TV allows me to watch TV shows, movies, and play video games. Without it, I would be useless. How would I spend my day if I'm not doing one of the three above? I just don't know. It's a very important part of my life. I don't think I could live without it.
Importance of "Election Day"
"Election Day" is one of the most important days to millions of Americans. This is the day that they think they have a say in who our nation's leader will be for the next four years. This is the day that, dispite the millions of other votes, every individual will go into a booth and vote, in hopes that their one vote will make a difference. And, it does. I mean, if everyone goes into Election Day thinking that they might as well not vote, then noone votes, and even though the Electoral College will still be up, there will be no say from the citizens of our country. It is important to the people that do vote, however, since it is their way of saying they are loyal to our country, and they can take pride in helping our nation's leader be elected.
America's Dependence on Foreign Oil
As a driver, and citizen of the United States, I can easily and honestly say that our nation's dependence on foreign oil is crucial. Two thirds of our oil is used for transportation, which is a nescessity in today's society. Only 5% of Americans on public transportation. This means that 19 out of every 20 people own their own vehicles and use them for thier own transportation. Those 5% can easily be the number of kids that are 15 and younger, and by default, can not drive themselves anyways.
I say that we need oil, but I also say that the government is spending way too much on oil. Actually, America spends approximately $1 billion dollars per day on foriegn oil. Most of this money is going to Middle Easy countries, especially Saudi Arabia. This is obviously a lot of money, and I say that we need to research ways for better fueling, or at least find a way to not spend so much money on barrels of fuel. This is one of the reasons why America started off as the richest nation in the world, and quickly dropped to the one in most debt.
Of course, this isn't the only problem in today's society. This is just another issue that our government has yet to fix. We still need to see them fix our immigration, global warming, and health problems that face our nation. What happens when, in years to come, our nation is filled with Mexicans, and our ice caps melt into the ocean? It doesn't matter to the government now, because it is not happening at the current time. I say that this is irresponsible, and lazy.
But, in all due respect, I still say that we need the oil that our government is buying for us. Without it, there would be no travelling via cars or airplanes, and that would not work in today's society. I praise the government for obtaining the fuel for us that we use every day of our lives, however I am disguisted by the lack of solutions for the problems that face our great nation.
