i'm really getting into Tool. it's weird cuz i used to not like them but now i do. It's just their new album got KUFO to start playing more of it and i just started liking it. They aren't gonna replace korn or anything but i like them more each time i hear them. it used to be that i couldn't really listen or enjoy them without lighting up. how things change.
school tomorrow. i get to drive there on wednesdays for a few weeks. so if anybody wants a ride to school just ask. something about giving rides that makes me feel good about myself. i dunno i guess it's just that it's the right thing to do and it saves gas. haha it's funny a neocon like myself would say that but i guess i'm more of an environmentalist than those people who go to school alone in their cars. they probably think their democrats, and i guess they are cuz they're being hypocrites for driving alone then harping on SUV and hummer owners for wasting gas (kinda like Al Gore, who uses more gas in his private jet each time he crosses the country than a hummer can in a year). as you can see, i have real issues with people who don't offer/give rides. it's just such a bastard/elitist/wasteful thing not to do.
This gets me thinking about the whole price of gasoline thing. People are blaming Bush and big oil for it and it's just crap. First of all, private big oil companies are doing more to keep the price low than anyone else. They are remarkably efficient and productive when stacked against the REAL oil giants (which would be state owned oil companies like Gazprom in russia. oil that comes from saudi arabia, mexico, venezuela, along with russia is almost exclusively produced by inefficient scumbag mega-companies owned by their respective governments). So when you couple increased world-wdie demand (from china and india) with incompetence that gets worse everyday (kuwait's largest oil field still uses technology from the 1950's), you get high oil prices which translates to high gas prices. of course, the price of gas could be lowered if hippy environmentalists weren't so dead-set against a new oil refinery opening in America (i think the last one to open was in the 1970's; astounding, i know). but in the end gas prices will hopefully induce some people to carpool, aka give rides.
that was brutal.
