Some days I need my own column somewhere
OK, so, comming home, gas was $2.02. It hasn't been under 2 bucks since April of 2005, I swear. Is anyone else more insulted by this than impressed? I just have to say, that while financially I NEED gas to be this price b/c of my gas guzzler, that I am not a COMPLETE moron.
I mean, let's face it. There hasn't been a president in history who had ratings as low as the one who calls himself such a thing right now. Yet, we continue to let him "serve" us because we're all too busy to think that we can do shit about it. I'll go with you on that one, really, I will. I want to be more active in politics, the way I once did as a vegetarian.
The elections are comming up and I want you people to vote! Granted, I haven't been one to vote in local elections...especially when I move too damned much to get to know my candidates. Basically, by the time my change of address form has taken effect, it's nearly time to pick a candidate for an area I JUST moved to. So, I understand; but seriously?
Are we all so fuckin stupid that we will somehow "love the president and his party more" if gas prices go down? Are our souls really only worth a measely 70 cents per mile...averaging the cost of one gallon per day? Is 30 miles theoretically on a journey really a more important journey than our country's future? What the fuck are we all thinking? Are we all zombified, because I know I feel numb to it all. I stopped caring and I don't want it to be that way anymore.
Anyway, who wants to start more revolutions? I feel like a clone of someone. I don't feel like myself anymore. I feel like I can take on the world and I don't want to sit idley by. We are adults; and after all, didn't we all tell ourselves that when we reached "that age" we would do something to change the things that we thought were in need of it...when we earned the right to try?????????
OK, well, that was just a small thought on the way home from work. My other thought was; "I hope I don't crash while texting and driving."
