The Perfect Vehicle. What is it to you? A Mustang? A Viper? A Lamborghini? It’s all a matter of opinion isn’t it? For some people, the perfect vehicle is a Corolla, a Pilot, or even a Yaris. (Nothing against any of these vehicles, they are all great machines). For me, a pick-up is the best. It really doesn’t matter what kind to me, but my favorite brands are Dodge, Toyota, and Nissan. My wish list of trucks numbers 6,though I am sure that many will be added on in future years. My favorite Toyotas are a black Tacoma and a silver Tundra. My favorite Dodges are an “Inferno Red Crystal Pearl” Ram 3500 Mega Cab and a black Dakota Club Cab. And finally, my Nissan picks are the only 2 trucks they make, a silver Frontier and a red Titan. I realize my tastes in vehicles are a bit different from the normal peoples choices, but I guess that’s just an example of diversity. We all have a perfect vehicle, what’s yours?

The world is divided. We are all blind to others. Selfishness has taken over. There are few who don’t look out for anyone but #1. I don’t mean devote your life to the good of mankind, but why can’t we let the other one get what they want sometimes. One thing my father never fails to mention when me or my sister start to sound selfish, is “IWWIWWIWI”. I For those of you who don’t know what it means, I will tell you, it means, ” I Want What I Want, When I Want It”. Isn’t that the philosophy of the world, of America? We want what we want the instant we think that we want it. But then again, who really knows what they want? Do you really think of all the possible outcomes of what you want to have? To say? … To do? How do your words, your actions affect others? Think before you speak. Think before you act. Think before you want.

Recently, a friend of mine lost a family member. Even though this family member had 4 legs and a tail, he was nonetheless a family member. I only met him once, but that was enough for me to fall in love with him. I’ve only had one loss in my family (though I’ve had more than enough close calls with almost everyone else), but one is enough to know that it’s like having a stake drilled though your chest and pulled out. It’s like your missing a part of yourself. The pain slowly drains away, but every time you think about it, it comes rushing back. Losing someone, no matter if it’s human or dog, is something that no one should have to go through, but I guess it’s just life, it’s the way things have to be. For now.

The age old question, Where did we come from? How did we come to be? Many theories have been formed, many of the same nature. My only question to the lot of them is, How can we be so arrogant as to think that this came from nothing, that we are the most advance and most powerful being out there? How can we be okay with ourselves in saying “It all happened by chance”? Let’s imagine for a moment that evolution and the Big Bang and all those other … “interesting” ideas really exist. Who is comfortable with the notion that, because we spontaneously came into existance, we have nowhere to go once we die? That’s it, the end, kaput, FIN. I don’t like that idea too much myself either, but hey, we don’t have a choice, do we because we just appeared, so why wouldn’t we just disappear? Then of course, there is the fact we are goo that came out of the earth. I know that in other beliefs we are dust, but I choose dust over primordial ooze every day. My point is, that we should not think of ourselves so highly in such a way. We shouldn’t think that we’re so smart because we figured out the secrets of the Universe, because there were no secrets to begin with. We need to remember that we are not the best. Humility is a dying quality in this supermodern world.

The World without Technology? Oh,what ever would we do? No more iPods, no more computers, no more T.V. The world could never go on without technology! The human race would die out. But wait, didn’t there used to be this time when there were no iPods. Didn’t the world go through a time of darkness without electricity and media. Oh, that’s right, there hasn’t always been electricity. People got along just fine without telephones and television. I guess that the human race CAN live without technology.UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!!!! We don’t need it to survive, it’s just that, well, like cigarettes and alcohol, technology is addictive. You used to drive around and when you saw someone talking to themselves, it was obvious that they were crazy, but now, you don’t give them a passing glance because you know they have an earpiece in. Kids’ rooms are covered in technology too. iPods, computers, televisions, stereos, and other pieces of technology the world has introduced to everyone but me. Technology isn’t a bad thing, but if it keeps advancing the way it is, the world will become an unhappy, unfeeling place. Don’t let it happen.
