Lets talk...
Gas Prices are definately on the rise and there appears to be no lowering in sight. That sucks, royaly. Remember about 5 years ago when gas was around a dollar? Good Ol' AM/PM never let anyone down. But now, due to George W. Bush not thinking about America (there, I said it), we rely on outside sources to literally fuel our economy, which isnt right. We have oil wells in Texas, why not use those?
Heres a wacky idea that just night work, remember that one idea from a few years ago to reduce polution? It was called CARPOOLING. Not only will it cut down on the polution, but it will also help in lowering gas prices since the stations wont be as busy, good ol' George will have to lower the prices! Its crazy enough that it just might work!
Also, all I hear lately is that "Americans are getting fatter"....well, heres another proposal. Ride a bike to work. Sure, some people have no other choice but to use a bike, but for those who live within, oh maybe 3 to 4 miles from work can use a bike to get around. Its cost efficent and can get rid of that excess weight. I should know, cuz I used to wear size 40 pants, now I wear size 36. BOOYA! The only downside is gettin all sweaty or getting rained on.
Oh, and some further proof that some Missourians are morons on the road: Today as I was riding around town with my mom and her boyfriend to get some groceries, we stopped at a red light. Well, next to us was a lane of traffic in the left turn lane, keep that in mind. Their turn signal turns green and the first car leaves, but the second car, which is right next to us, stays still. We peer over and THE LADY IS PUTTING ON LIPSTICK AND EYELINER! Me and my mom just bust up laughing. As we are sitting there telling her that the light is green and to move on, about 4 other cars behind her are blaring their horns at her. By the time she gets done and REALIZES the car ahead of her is gone, the light turns red and she has a very dumb look on her face. She looks over at last second to see me and my mom just busting up laughing. That was the highlight of my day, proving just how bored I can get around here.
Job Update: Tried applying at a bar called Sir Gregorys here in town, and the General Manager was in a meeting. So I'll try back tomorrow. Applied at a Check Cashing place and Perkins Resturant, turning in the apps tomorrow. As if my day wasnt any greater, I get a letter in the mail from the most horrible thing in America today, the I.R.S. Now, apparently, I owe them $1,600 from the 2001 tax period. Heres the odd part, I already got 2 REFUNDS from them for that time period. In the letter they said I have refused to call them after they sent a previous letter stating this. That also is not true, as I called them the first time they sent this notice back in early 2003 and earlier this year about it, and I plainly told them that I was unemployed and Im doing everything possible to get a job. Then they give me a number to call, so I call it, and I get redirected to another number, then I get told its not the right number SO THEY REDIRECT ME TO THE VERY FIRST NUMBER I CALLED! Lather, Rinse, Repeat.
That whole thing reminds me of the song "Too Much of Heaven" by Eiffel 65. Don't be confused by the name of the song. The "heaven" they refer to is Money. The main lyrics are as follows:
Lemme tell you what its all about
Its called Money Dependence today
People goin on lookin at the dollar bill and nothin else around them.
No Love, No Friendship, Nothin else.
Just the dollar bill goin on into their pockets and into their bank account,
and that too much of heaven thats bringin em' underground.
The song has good meaning and I reccomend listening to it whenever you get the chance.
Ok, thats all for now.
