New Cars
Nothing is greater than that moment you buy your first car. Its exciting for anyone. But nothing is worse than your first minor fender bender, or little ding that occurs to your newly purchased baby. Yesterday I got into my first little fender bender with my new car and it sucksssssss. But look on the bright side, the kid said F it to the damage and took off and I wasnt hurt.

U.S. Economy
Our nations economy is taking a turn for the worst. Our economies inflation is raising at such a rapid rate and Americans feel that our economy is the worst it has been in 14 years. According to ABC news, the economy is experiencing a stagflation, which is when the econonomy is at a severe low and the rate of inflation is severely high. The price of gas has also hit an all time high at $102 a gallon. Its ridiculous that such a powerful country cant take a strong hand on its economy.

Politics
There are more scandals, and rumors, and fraud in politics than in the everyday people. You would think that these people would be respectable, honest people being that they are running the United States of America. Like recently, our wonderful Republican presidential candidate, John Mccain has been accused of having an affair with a lobbyist. This is ridiculous! This man isn't even our president yet and there is already scandal on his back. Clinton, Bush, Watergate scandals... its just out of control.
Fourth Assignment
Im not gonna lie, I really dont like to read so i've never had any type of connection like this. I do believe that for someone who does enjoy reading this can occur. I have gotten these connections in many movies though. Alot of war movies have these amazing scenes where the underdog comes up with some absurd idea on how to defeat there rivals. These tactics come off as so unique to me. But when it comes to the reading, thats a big NO.

Billiards on ESPN
I was running on the treadmill at the gym today and I unfortunately choose the one that was right in front of a billiards tournament on ESPN. What the hell is that about???? Billiards is nothing but a bunch of old, overweight men doing tricks on a pool table. It's not a real sport.
3rd Assignment Response
I think that media outlets are most definetly just giving Americans what they ask for. I, personally could give a damn about what is going on in the life of the rich and famous. I think subjects like, maybe the war in Iraq, the presidential election, or whats going on economically in our country is a little bit more important than Lindsay Lohan's drug addiction. It's all about the ratings people.

8am to 7pm on a SATURDAY
Today has probably been the longest day of work ever. I, for some reason, decided to take on an eight in the morning to seven at night shift at the gym. Let me say it was THE WORST decision I have ever made. I feel like I have been sitting at the front desk for months. To top it all off, I did not make one sale. What a great day at work.

Amish Charter
I always thought that the government and politics had somewhat of a hold of its population, but after reading the essay by John A. Hostetler The Amish Charter I realize how we are nowhere even close to the discipline they retain. I could not imagine basing my enitre life on relgious practices. These people enjoy being the outsiders. They are absolutely content with living a life with no television, radio, automobiles or any form of entertainment. I know that I cannot servive a day without my cell phone and chances are not one of the people living in an Amish community have one. They cannot enjoy any of the things we enjoy everyday of our lives. NO colors, NO luxury items, and basically seems to me like NO fun.
Computer Class
It is 2:45pm and im sitting in my computer class. Im sorry but this is probably the most boring class im taking this semester. Im nodding off, it's ridiculous. I am paying to be taught something I learned about 8 years ago?
