So today is another day. My roommate Jonny may be moving out soon, he has a job now that pays him well. He has decided that having a room here is no longer necessary and plans to put his things into a storage unit, only after I told him I wouldn’t take a twenty-five dollar a week drop in rent. The amount of money that is generally used (for his electric, water, internet) by him in a month is less than twenty-five a week. So I am now at a stand still. Should I negotiate a lesser amount due and keep the devil I know, or hold firm and find a new demon to move into my home. Well Jonny has been a roommate for a few years now and has on more than one occasion not been the most reliable roommate in my opinion. So to weigh the pros and cons of having him stay are on a very equal scale. But change is sometimes good…..

 

Last night I seen a few friends that I haven’t seen in sometime. It was a good night, we played the wii, that was an experience all in it’s own. I still prefer the Xbox360 to the wii.

 

Something a little more interesting to write about, if you have been watching news at all then you have seen that the two leading political party’s are gearing up for the next election. The trash talking has also started. Yet with all the publicity going on; I still have no clue who the republicans are putting up to run.  Even if I have heard the names, they haven’t stuck. Is it because they just aren’t making as many wave as the democrats. All I really hear coming from the democrat party is health care and removing the Middle East’s only chance for peace. I know many people don’t like the war that is happening, yet if we pull out they will only hate us more. So who are our republicans running or planning on running. I could research and find out who is running but that doesn’t help the millions of other people who have no clue either. Clintion and Obama, “democrats” that’s I all I know and I’m not a fan of Clinton, don’t know enough about Obama. So I think its time that the republicans start to make a little more noise. And not the noise of problems. I think it would be a real bad idea if  democrats take over the government. Can you imagine how much hell is going to break lose, for one Bush is going to try to keep the war going till his term is up. Once a new president takes over it will be on his/her shoulder to get us out, I can’t see that being a well thought out plan. If we just pack up and leave it will be like ending your antibiotics to early and creating a antibiotic resistant bacteria. Terrorists will consume the Middle East and it won’t take long for us to be hiding in our homes like scared little children. How much fun will that be? The press and democrats want us to forget how much hate is still felt towards us by religious extremists. How is that right? Why should we be sheltered for the real world? There are people in the world who would love to see this country fall; and we are hidden from that fact everyday that politicians fight and bicker back and forth. Look at other countries that are doing so well, yeah they have their problems yet they seem to have a happier group of citizens. Our country is falling apart at the seems and people are still trying make their pockets fatter. What I would like to see in a politician would be one that not only makes sure that when America leave the Middle East we have strong allies, but also that he/she looks inward, and starts to really take care of this country. We really need stronger schools; we need to educate the trailer parks and ghettos. Our next president needs to take this country back for our insurance companies; the United States is a country for the people not for insurance companies. Is four years long enough to change this great country? Sure it is, as long as our leaders get their heads out of their asses. My fellow Americans need to get their heads out of their asses too, we need to start voting more, we need to pay attention to the word around us and not who is getting kicked out of the house on big brother, or who sings the best on tv. We allow ourselves to be sheltered by allowing ourselves to sit in front of a tv all day. I want better politicians I know you want better politicians, so get off your asses and vote, if you say you don’t care then your just one of the problems that torture this country. If you live in a city there are meeting all the time that allow you to vote on different things. Start now, go down to your local town hall and see what it takes to get involved. This is our America let use it to our advantage and make it a greater place for us all. The ones that have learned the system, who are active with the system, those are the ones that see the changes. Those are the Americans that live here in the states. Everyone else are just floaters who are taking up space. The people that just sit idle are the ones around you that you see complaining everyday on how bad things are, yet do nothing to change it because they really don’t care. The ones who sit at home on election day are the ones who blame this government for all their problems. Don’t be one of those people. Make a difference, even if you are just one vote. Lets get a president that will truly make a difference, republican or democrat. Question everything
