A car or a horse?

I can personally not take the price of gas anymore. I feel that everyday my money in my debit account is going to gas. I travel a lot between work, dance, and hanging with friends and they are spread throughout various cities. I can atleast say that I'm happy right now that gas has gone down because today I was able to get gas for $3.54. Everyone knows though that this is not going to last because of the fossil fuels and stockmarket specualtors. Its just really tough on people especailly in this economy for people that are losing their homes and worrying about how they are going to feed their families to worry about how they are going to fill their tanks in the morning. Hopefully gas will not go up or I know that I will be trading my car in for a horse!

Equality!

Gay marriage bill has been passed in New York! This is a beautiful thing because everyone deserves the right to be equal. I feel that no matter who you if you love the other person unconditionally and want to spend the rest of your life with them why should anyway stand in their way or judge? New York has become the sixth and largest state to legalize gay marriage. Assuming everything goes right gay marriages in New York can take place in July. New York, Vermont, and New Hampshire are the only three states so far that have legalized gay marriage without being forced to by a court. This will be marked as an historic even and hopefully more equality acts will soon follow in the future.

Disgusting!

To all of the people out there that want to experience new things in life do not resort to taking drugs for instance cocaine. ABC news reported yesterday reported that there is a type of cocaine that eats your flesh. There is an outbreak of this type of drug in New York and Los Angeles. The drug is laced with the veterinary drug levamisole which is used to deworm cattle, pigs, and sheep. Lavamisole rots the skin off of noses, ears, and cheeks. A doctor reported seeing a man whose entire body is rotting because of this drug. I would never take drugs but for people who do you are really playing with fire by taking this one because who wants to end up with no face because of one night of taking cocaine.

Hero or Moron?

A Texas jumped out of line at Walmart to try to stop a trio of beer thieves. The woman ran at full speed out of Walmart like the store was on fire and jumped on top of the thieves car and started stomping on the windshield. She then realized that they were starting to drive off so she jumped off of the vehicle and held on to the handle bar of the door. The car started speeding off with the woman still gripping the handle and finally she let go letting her body hit the cement. The woman walked away from the scene with a bruised eye and scrapes and cuts lucky that she only walked away with those minor injuries because it could have been a lot worse. I work in retail and we are even trained to not deal with thieves and to let the police deal with them because you never know how they are going to react. I consider this woman to be absolutely nuts to chase after these young men and then proceed to jump on their car she could have ended up dead. She should have tried not to be the hero in this situation and let the authorities deal with them.

Drunk Driving

It came out today that Jackass star Ryan Dunn's blood alcohol level was more than double the limit which was the cause of hit fatal car accident the other night. Dunn had left a bar and was driving at a speed of 132 mph. Police said when they arrived at the scene that it was one of the most guresome car accidents they have witnessed because the car had gone up in flames. It really drives me crazy when I see peoples lives being taken away because of alcohol. Car accidents that happen while under the influence of alcohol are 100% preventable. People should always have a designated driver that is not going to drink alcohol for the night so everyone can go home in one piece and keep living their lives. Its such a sad story when someones dies from drunk driving because it effects everyone that is involved in their lives. Everyone needs to think before they take a drink to make sure they do not have to drive home because not only could they end up taking their life but they could take other innocent lives on the road too!

Online Dating...Safe or Not Safe?

The other day I was at my job ringing out a customer and there was an older woman who came into the store to buy a dress so she could take professional pictures for online dating sites.Whatever happened to old fashion dating when you meet someone at work, a night out, or through a friend? I feel like absolutely everything in the world is done online now when people are lazy  or just feel that it is there only option. I have heard of some success stories that have met there significant other and have lived happily ever after yadda yadda yadda... But I feel that putting your picture and information on a dating website no matter how safe they say they are a person is taking a major risk. I feel like they are taking a major risk because lets be serious there are a lot unstable and crazy people in the world today.  You have to think when you are putting your information up what are everyone elses intentions on this website? I'm not saying I'm against them and I do feel like if a person is lonely and feels like they are open to anything then a dating website is a great source for them. However, if a person still feels like there are guys out there that they dont have to meet online they should put themselves out there instead of relying on the internet!

Is it even safe to leave your house nowadays?

Another college girl has gone missing! The more and more I see the cases of missing college girls on the news or online I get sick to my stomach. To think that these beautiful girls are college students just living life and the next minute they are gone and no one has any idea what happened to them is scary and also very puzzling. All I can think of is where were there friends when they went missing? Whenever I go out with my friends we always make sure to stick together and dont wander off by ourselves because it really isnt safe to be a girl walking by yourself down a street at night. I work at a mall and when we are closing at night its a rule for every store that even all the assosiates have to walk out together so why arnt these college girls friends getting the memo! Lauren Spierer a 20 year old fashion student from Indiana University went missing late last week. Police said she had left her cell phone and shoes at the bar and a male friend said that she walked home after leaving his apartment and no one knows what happened to her on her walk home. There have been so many cases of missing college girls that even celebrities have gotten involved by tweeting for people to help find the girls and to let police officials know if they have any information on them. I pray that all of the college girls are found and that these missing college girl cases come to an end because it does show that we do live in a scary world and we all need to always think about our own safety first.
