What I want to know today is...
How long until tree-books are illegal?
Let that sink in.
Books made of paper must kill a thousand hundred million billion of trees each year. (Exaggerate much?) And what with global warming and everyone going green, somebody is going to have the idea to make Kindle-type readers cheap, inexpensive, and virtually indestructible. And then there'll be no stopping them. They'll be mass produced and sold at bookstores everywhere. That, of course, is how it will start.
But soon politicians (because all politicians want change!) will be rallying for books made from trees to be illegal. You'll be able to buy books straight from the reader, for cheap. It'll be better for the environment this way, and if you "really care" than You Must Love The Reader.
And I think that's crap. There's nothing like flipping through the pages of a well worn book you've read a million times. There's nothing like the smell of a book that has never been opened before. I love books and I love to read and I will always always always love books.
And if politicians ever want to start banning real books, they've got another thing coming. There is nothing like Reese on the warpath.
But um, yeah, go green guys. That's important too.
So if anyone has the answer to what I want to know (How Long?!) let me know!

What I want to know is why things break so easily.
I mean, no one wants things to break. But even quality things fall apart like *snaps fingers* that! I love my MacBook like I love my pinky or camp. Without it, a part of me is missing. And it hurts without it. My space bar has been messed up for the last...forever really and it's driving me nuts! I tried to take care of it, I really did! But now the only thing stopping my laptop from being rendered almost completely useless is scotch tape. Scotch tape!
I think I need to go out and buy more tape. :( I don't even really like scotch tape. I like duct tape. It makes more of a statement. It's slightly more hardcore. I mean, clear? Or bold and silver?! Bold and silver thank you very much.

He's President!
What I want to know is why this kind of thing happens.
I'm not going to lie here. I am one biased, biased person. I was all for Barack Obama to be president and I rubbed it in my republican friend's face when he won. I stayed up all night making sure he was going to win and joined Team Sarah to sabotage their "OBAMA IS A TERRORIST!" spamming.
But if John McCain had won, I promise you, I would not still be complaining. I would not spend every history class bashing republicans and pointing it out every time he said the words "uh" "um" or just plain faltered for a second. Both men are human, and that happens to the best of us.
(Although, Obama is the best of us.)
He's the president! He won! He did it fair and square and get over it! He has four years to turn this country around, and if we're lucky, eight! So even if you don't like Barack Obama, he's who we have, so standing behind him makes his job a whole lot easier and more likely to become a success.
Gerald Ford, who took the office after Nixon resigned had an awful job of it, because Americans had stopped trusting the government. He had no one standing by him; do not make the same mistake in this day and age. Obama can do this because he has the whole of America. But he only has the whole of America if he has you.
