energy crisis

mmkay, so theres this whole new fuel revolution going on right? electricity powered, biofuel, natural gas.it sounds like a good idea at first, but do we really have our priorities straight?
lets think...electricity. thats good, just plug your car in, no waste! wrong. where does electricity come from? coal. coal is one of the dirtiest emissions around. so nix on that idea.
biofuel- thats good! a renuable resource! yes, but why would we use things we could be feeding to the starving nations to power our cars? plus there would be more money in selling your food to the car industry than to the supermarkets. so...either a shortage of food or higher prices to match the fuel prices. nix.
so now natural gas. sure its cheaper and cleaner than normal gas, but before natural gas can be used as a fuel, it must undergo extensive processing to remove almost all materials other than methane. this includes ethanol, elemental sulfur, hydrocarbons and nitrogen. and nitrogen is quite bad for the environment if expelled in large amounts, if it runs into water it will cause an algeal bloom, use up the oxygen supply and kill all the poor fishies! nix.

i don't know what it is but i cant stand you anymore. maybe because I've been with you for 6 weeks straight. then i got two weeks of freedom, glorious freedom, and it's hard to come back to living in this house, with you, with whom i now associate all the wonderful memories of arguments that you could never bare to lose, the days spent waiting at each corner for you as you lagged behind inconsiderately taking pictures. my friend told me last night, in alcohol fuelled praise, that you were real. that she had incredible respect for you. and i just couldn't agree. you're real only in the sense that you let us know exactly what is on your mind without bothering if it upsets us. but you don't take the time to listen to me, to consider my opinions, because everything anyone else thinks is completely illogical and a waste of time. you can't grasp that you're views aren't one size fits all. they don't work for everyone; especially not me. You can't...

neighborhood nights

I feel like somewhere along my life there was a shift. Suddenly nothing was for fun any more, it was all necessary. Suddenly I'm bothering with what others think, afraid to link any connotations I deem negative to my being. Why do I care what people I've never met, who'll forget they ever saw me, think of me; this obscure stranger in their peripherals. It's a warped sense of mind and place, seeing the space around me in my mind's made up ways. So I stray away from everyone, isolating myself unwittingly, turning them against me. Self fulfilling prophecies, I succeed in creating this reality. I need to break free from my mind's mentalities, with which negativity has propelled me. So I've started a new sport. I call it neighborhood night dancing. Donning headphones and heading out alone to the empty streets as the city sleeps, and moving to the beat. Letting it compel me towards a freedom long gone missing. Letting go is an art. Complete release is a tough ...
