Some Stuff About Snow

Sorry for the randomness and disorganization but I feel the need to BRAINSTORM! The white powder gets into my eyes, a blinding continuum of mini fresh-from-the-freezer wiffle balls. Each flake that takes a glance at my cheek or nose bleeds into a cool, clear liquid. The fluff begins to accumulate atop the plastic carbonate board attached to my feet below. It is almost as if it signifies natures ability to overcome all that is foreign and unnatural. Snow is nature’s blanket. Harry Potter’s cloak of invisibility minus the invisible part and a lot colder. It is the end of reds, oranges and yellows, the colors of autumn past. Pure. Carve it with a board. Fresh powder vs. icy crap, you get both on a tall mountain. Storms arise from time to time. Gale force winds spin plumes of powder into tall funnels that dance on top the icy tundra. Off into the distance, sno wcapped peaks rise amongst the clouds. A white on white display posted on a baby blue backing. Just always remember a simple saying: Yellow snow is a no-go.

They Killed the Electric Car!

So... the question posed to us by a recently viewed video was, "who killed the electric car?" At first reaction, I was straight up thinking, "what is this even about?" The video began and I was soon engulfed in the greatness of this electric GM EV1 car that I had never heard of. Celeberities were singing praises of glory to the spectacular car that ran off of all electricity, something that seems like the world really needs at this time. Even Mel Gibson with his funny looking, 300(the movie)-esque beard had something excellent to say about his cool electric car! It made me really want an electric car. I would drive around all stealh like(within my 100 mile range of course) and be cool and environmentally friendly. Everyone wants to be environmentally friendly nowdays. See, the only problem with this electric car is that, as great as it was, the people at GM who made the car no longer wanted them out on the road. The movie led up to the sad truth that ALL of the EV1's were rounded up and put to death. It honestly kind of sucked seeing all those cool cars.. well cool in theory, they actually looked kind of weird.. getting crushed. It made me mad to think that something so good, clean and beneficial could be taken away just so that oil companies, car companies and the government would not lose their threshold and profit margins on American//the world's society. These people are afraid of change and afraid to lose the empire they have built. However, for the good of the Earth, I think that these people of power need to humble themselves and do what is best for the planet, not what is best for their wallets.

Yay it's the Weekend

Finally, another great three day weekend broght to you by religion and our beloved American government. What is there to do this weekend anyways. See, its good to have the weekend come along but sometimes it seems a little pointless when there is nothing to do on the weekend. Sometimes I'm torn between staying home and getting things done/ spending time with family and fufilling my own wants by going out and hanging loose with my friends. Moderation is everything I guess. Hrmph, what an overused phrase. But in all truthfulness, it really is true. Somebody can eat all the vegetables they want but if they dont eat anything else, a good thing can be bad. I mean, look at all these studies that say, oh chocolate is bad, wine is bad... a few months later what do you know, "new studies have shown chocolate and wine lowers your chances at getting a heart attack!" Well hey now, I think chocolate will still make you fat. Whatevers. Back to the weekend though... Weekends are a time of procrastination. I always find myself saying, oh three day weekend, I can do my homework the wholleeee time, I'll just relax today. The day passes, and goes onto the next. I figure I have a couple more days, why not just put it off again. Day passes, more days remain, put it off again. Finally Sunday night comes along and I am stuck with a bunch of homework assignments and can't do anything about em. Why do we even need to do homework. PSH.

College Time Eh?

Well first of all, I don't know how much people look into the significance of the title but I woulda said hey 'eh' >> Canada, oh my goodness, he's going to college in Canada! We'll whoever is reading this probably didn't think like that but that's okay, its just the strange way my brain connects one thing to another i guess. So yeah, college decisions were a pretty big thing. Think about it, it's like one of the biggest decisions a young person has to make. It is the first time I will be moving away from home and living by myself. Also, since I was at my high school since kindergarten, I've never really experienced the whole, 'new school, new people' thing. I think it will be interesting to see what I can do to make a name for myself in such a big college. To some people it seems to come so easy. They can be put in a room with a bunch of peole they dont know and next thing you know, they are talking and making everyone laugh. I want to know how to do that. I think a lot of it is about presentation and outlook on the world and those around you. Perhaps I just need to be more outgoing.

Time to Forget

I feel like my life has recently been full of forgetfulness. From my incident this weekend in leaving my backback in my friends car to the simple leaving my lunch at home, each misstep has built a web of confusion in my mind. Forgetting my backpack this weekend meant no homework for me. As good as it sounds, it really wasn't that great. You really realize how much you are missing when something does go missing. It's kind of like when you lose something. "You don't know what you have till it's gone." Oh how true that quote is. One time I can recall forgetting my cellphone at a beach house I went to during summer vacation. Cell phones are probably the worst, ABSOLUTE WORST, things to lose, break or forget. When I forgot mine, I felt so disconnected from everyone. Unless I were to memorize all the numbers in my phonebook, which I didn't, I had pretty much no connection to any of my friends, nor did they have any connection to me. I guess it is kind of weird how much I have come to take my cellphone for granted though. It wasn't till 8th or 9th grade that I got a cellphone. Nowdays you even see third and fourth graders with them. It's crazy. OKAY
