time is a blur, a sketch in time without finite lines. The good times come and go faster than the bad. I find myself lost in a haze of wonderful memories. What used to be a mix of memories killing time has transformed into a field of beautiful smelling flowers. Stop. Inhale. Hold. Breath. Ok gotta keep moving.

Like the ebb and flow of the tide world superpowers rise and fall over time. Remembered only by their contributions while holding the most powerful and influencial position in the world. What have we contributed? Capitalism will be the downfall of America. Oh yes, just like Rome, America will fall. Our polluted shores may not be physically invaded and our youth won't be sacrficed, but I expect to see the emergence of another world superpower and the desent of the U.S. into meteoracracy in my lifetime. The rest of the world hates us for the way we bully everybody else and what have we contributed to making this world a better place?.....the elimanation of terrorist?yeah right they will exist whilst their is still unfair and enequal living conditions around the world. The spread of democracy? Another joke seeing as I don't really feel that we have a democracy on our own shores. George bush's brother from floridia put him in office the first time and if he really got the majority of the vote the second time then shame on america anyways. Now I'm not saying he is to blame for all of our problems, he is however contributing to our downfall rather than helping us move in a more productive and beneficial direction. By productive and beneficial I mean that in regards to earth, the only earth we have and the one big business and government is destroying. Yeah I'm slightly hippocritical, seeing as to the fact that I do drive a hummer. The 2nd worst car for the environment but that's beside the point and it's for sale anyways. I offer no answers. The only things I have now are criticizims and questions. However, mark my words...just as Rome fell so to will the United States. Our numerous enemies sit and wait with baited breath for the time when we stumble and believe this, they will stick the blade in swiftly when it's least expected. Money = power. We have nothing the rest of the world wants to give us money for yet the world has many things we spend our money on. Money out. No money in. You do the math.

Over easter weekend I drove from ATL to DET, 12 hours of driving with my darling girlfriend leisha, roommate brandon, and my dog meme. The drive there was o.k. Mainly because I got to sleep part of the way in the back with lei while b drove, poorly if I may say so myself. Weather was not great for driving, but once we got to mi it was ok. Talked to my dad for about 30 min and then slept for 16 hours. Awesome!!! Ate some food then drove up to my mom's. Another 5 hours. Ate some dinner, dropped off my dog to a very welcoming household, let my sister drive, then got back on the road. Leisha convinced me to go back and stay the night so that my mom and sis could drive again. Then we did some offroading, more driving, then drove 5 hours back home, ate easter dinner, very good, visited jake n justin, came home, slept, got up ate, drove home another 12 hours on the road. Basically I spent about 35 hours driving.Honestly it was great because I got to talk to lei pretty much for 30 hours, so that was good. Interesting as she would say. Vaca was good, company was good, saying bye to meme sucked, I already miss my dog...

Working at an assembly plant is like being a well paid slave. They callthe place I work at the "dream killer". I work with teachers, religious ministers, and many other people with impressive college degrees. Since I work on the line, if I want t o go to the bathroom, someone has to do my job or the line will stop. Ford motor co. Will not permit that to happen. So basically I have to ask permission to use the bathroom and usually wait 20 to 30 min before I can actually go and use it....I spend 2 to 3 hours at a time doing the same repetative motions. It is so mind numbing. I watch people who kiss ass walk around and do nothing all day, while the people who come to work and work hard everyday do their share and the other guys share. You would think a company would want those hard working indivisduals to have more responsibility, with a little more of an even division of the workload, but they don't. Working in the south is so much worse than working up north. I can't wait to get out of the factory for good.
