| Gotta even out the text with some lulz.

| I'm just going to rant a bit.
I was sitting at my kitchen table two evenings ago while making pumpkin stew, trying to think of some new comic ideas, and listening to my overflow of science related pod casts when I was pretty much pissed off by the constant flow of shitty news coming out of the world of science. Everyone knows that global warming has been all the rage in the news over the past few years. We all know its happening, but I'm fairly certain that no one has noticed any real difference in their life despite being informed on all the stupid things that humans continue to do to this planet. One podcast mentioned that it is probable for all coral reefs to be extinct by 2055, which is really god damned horrible to think about. The increased carbon dioxide is acidifying the ocean, destroying the calcium shells of these organisms.
At one point in time, it was widely believed that children are the future. Does anyone really believe that anymore? How can you possibly believe that while destroying everything you're children will require as living organisms? We need a new form of energy, we need to stop wasting land and resources. American companies continue to produce large cars and trucks that fail energy standards of so many modern nations. We are wasteful and setting horrible world examples. We're putting so much money into coal as a power source rather than finding green energy. China is farming on rooftops, solar panneling buildings, creating closed recycled systems and we're just adding to urban sprawl.
Our children continue to do shitty on a world wide academic playing field, we do little to encourage them. Trades and manual labor are no longer popular. We have lowered the standards to the point where an education does not hold any promise of success. Educated individuals no longer have common sense and American's in general have no practical skills of their own. A large percentage of Americans have no idea how to do basic repairs, cook, solve problems. Everything is over simplified for the public. I don't feel challenged by my environment. There is so much goddamn information out there, and yet it feels like we are exposed to the smallest fraction of it and are still totally content with it. I'd love to know as much music as bri, tiff and ali combined. Lord knows that I have no idea where and how to even begun accessing that sort of thing. I would love to know as much bullshit, played as many video games, read as many books and watched as many movies as bryan. I've only begun to figure of how that works, and I'm still closed off from that in many respects. As for general information, I feel like I know nothing worldly, those that I know have worldly knowledge, I feel as though they have no local, practical knowledge. Oh and I still have no concept of history faggots (fyi this is for one teacher.. who won't read this and wouldn't care anyway).
We're eating crap. Now, I honestly can't believe that we can put corn into every fucking product available and yet figure out ways to put other crap in our cars. I mean, god, if you were to not eat corn for a week, all you would be doing is eating fruit, some veggies and drinking water. Whatever happened to that saying about too much of a good thing? We love super sized everything, soda, and overly processed food that lasts forever. We feed antibiotics to everything, fret over the smallest pain, look for every quick fix with later consequences.
The big question is, where do we go from here? What can we do as individuals to fix this? I guess we could inform some other people. Place a vote for the most environmentally concerned candidate of 2008. We could not waste water, try to use less power. I mean, no one ever puts out lists of things normal people can do. Our elected officials really haven't shown to care about anything worldly, we're too busy debating religion and abortion. I guess we could all import solar pannels from germany.... you know, since they aren't produced in the us, since there is no market for it. The solar cells are, but the pannels themselves are produced in germany because their consumer base is primarily in europe.
I've been thinking about Linden again. This happens a lot when I drive on the turnpike. Now I said I'd deal with this, but I figured there was no point in doing it before new years because people just don't care about things before major holidays. I am very unsatisfied with my high school education as you all know. I want Linden to know, I'd like them to do something about it for future generations actually. This is why I want to visit the high school again before I do anything. Gotta make this count, I highly doubt that it will do anything, there are too many retards up at boe to care about anything other than the bottom line on our grant money. Anyway, before I get side tracked, we can conclude that the education is substandard. Its also widely known that the whole area is over paved and filled with businesses that constantly fail. How many banks, Chinese take outs, and gas stations have we seen change hands on the corner of St George and Styles?
I take exit 63 off the parkway now where I live... and instead of the woods that I used to see... I now see a hella lot of deforested land where a bj's and target are soon going. I love having the ability to choose what store I go to, but I feel that its totally unnessicary to put a lowes next to a home depot, and a shop rite next to a pathmark, and a micheals next to an ac moore. Next they deforest pretty much all the land they can get their hands on and build row after row of look alike condos and senior housing. That will all become out dated and inefficent at the same moment, and are built by the cheapest bastards using the crappiest sheet rock they can find so that we can all hear each other yelling at each other in our houses. Its even worse on the island, they find a house on the middle of a property, knock it down, build two small, tall houses and sell them both for something insane. Meanwhile, traffic jams all summer, no public transportation to be seen, and no one living here during the year. People either fry themselves on the beach or sit at home frying their brain in front of the tv.
Basically, I'm fed up, I want to leave all of this. The world is damned, this country is damned. Fuck bringing more children into this, I feel sorry for any people who would have to clean up this mess. I want to have meaningful conversation while eating real food in a minimalistic setting.
Thats it. I'm done.

| Trust me you're better off, I'm more trouble than I'm worth anyway.
I don't agree with you, any girl who will try to drink me under the table, however unsuccessful she'll be, is worth whatever trouble she'd bring.
Ahhhh I'm screwed.
How do they find me?
Do I have a sign above my head or something that I'm not seeing. I mean I know I don't have a status posted on facebook but thats because I don't want to post anything on facebook. This being said, facebook says that I have no interest in anything.. I already have what I'm interested in.
That being said. I drew some more comics with small children, demented care bears, and wacked out internet references today. Basically all the wholesome goodness you could ask for.
If i were to propose to you ever, I'd put a ring in the bottom of a handle of dubra.
Damn, that could be a comic all in itself.
*Note to self, do not accept handles of dubra as gifts.*
The owls are out. I can hear them.
SPEAKING OF WHICH.....
I watched a bald eagle attack and devour a seagull the other day. Needless to say, it was the most crazy thing I've ever witnessed. The seagull tried to play dead, but that eagle knew better.
Ok, enough taking with some kid in singapore about german slang.
Good night, morning, afternoon, evening.. whatever, where ever, whenever.

| There are small events that put your life into perspective. I think Alison already had this happen. I'm certainly seeing where she came from with this. I feel like there should be more comments on this site, I also feel as though the amount of hits lately would explain the lack of comments... well.. that and the lack of activity on xanga in general.
I want to go into the city soon.
>.> I guess there's still some time.
I should have been born in the 50's. I think so much more would make sense with a lot of my views.
Well.. time to play some galaxy.

| Btw when I said that Ethan hit a turkey.. I ment that he hit it with his car. Just wanted to clear that up.
Bryans pictures came out even more awesome than mine.
We were working on low shutter speeds that night.
I love surprise hugs.
How many hugs would you like?
So many hugs!
It's funny how no one took my SSJ4 hair seriously.
Today.. I wrote some more comics.. and then I made a bikini bottom and then i resized and embroidered a really awesome sweater. If I were smart.. I'd be making money off of this stuff.. but alas... nothing.
