Stepping On The Soapbox.... Again

So, I'm not usually one for preachy films who tell me that I'm a horrible person and wasting my life. But I have to say that I've watched this documentary twice already and it's incredible. I know many people out there believe that Global Warming is a theory and it's all propaganda. Untrue. I don't claim to be a scientist, I'm actually on the other end of the spectrum. However, it's a little hard to ignore what's right in front of our faces. The natural disasters, the rising temperatures and even the rise in respiratory problems should all show people that this isn't a problem that can be ignored.

I often wonder how people can be so far in denial that they convince themselves that this is all just a media circus. Al Gore talked about the surgeon generals warning and how people convinced themselves that they didn't need to heed this 'hype'. We, as a human race, are not able to deal with major catastrophe, we ignored Katrina until it was too late. And now we're ignoring this.

Don't get me wrong. I realize that there a great many people who are doing everything in their power to stop Global Warming.

I'll have to admit, I'm all for warmer climates but not at this expense. I can always go on vacation to warm my chilled bones.

Stepping off the soapbox now. Thanks for listening, you can roll your eyes at me later ;)

MIA....

Ack! I'm horrible. I cannot remember the last time I posted on my blog. Annie has so many new posts that I have to go to her archives to read them. I still can't access Wolfie's blog from my home computer so I know I have to take my computer in to get fixed... it's ill. And Pooh has tagged me and I didn't even know it.

Tomorrow morning I have to go do some first aid training for work so I have to get up pretty early. I'll think of something interesting that has happened to me and tell you all about it.... gotta get some sleep so I'll be alert enough to french kiss a dummy ;)

Able to Breath Again

I've been pretty lax lately in my blogging efforts. And sadly enough, there still isn't much to report. Life is just chugging along... the same old, same old. My goal this summer is to get more organized. I've got to start paying bills on time :P. It's not that I don't have the money to pay them, it's just that I forget to pay them and then I run out of money because I am an impulse shopper. I once bought a bed on impulse. Walked into Costco owning an old twin sized bed and walked out with a Sealy double bed set, lol. See what I mean about impulse shopping.

Most people make New Years Resolutions, I however am nothing if not a bit odd. I make summer resolutions. Who's got time to make resolutions right after Christmas? When the Winter semester ends I make resolutions for things that I want to accomplish this summer.

1. Get organized with bill paying... NTS... if I pay them on time they'll stop calling me :D

2. Save some money... doesn't have to be a fortune, just enough to set aside for a rainy day.

3. Finish up my last course in order to obtain my degree.

4. Exercise more, the summer time turns me into a hibernating couch potato.

5. Pay more attention to my friends and stop being such a recluse.

6. Get my passport etc. in order so I can head to Korea in January.

7 Don't forget to apply for Convocation.

There, now you all know what I need to do this summer and you can poke and prod at me if I start to get lazy and don't do what I'm supposed to. You've got written proof :).

Okay I should go get some studying done since finals are next week. Plus I have my Archaeology lab exam tonight.

Mwah!
