Welcome everyone...

Well, here we are. Its about 11:15 pm on a wednesday night. I can't seem to sleep, although I want to. This tends to happen sometimes, I have an overactive mind. I think and ponder the smallest and most trite things all the time. Then there are the major issues in life. What makes it so that those don't ever bother me as much as the smallest detail that nobody cares about? I have no idea. For example, there are things like what am I going to eat in the morning, what am I going to wear? Who really cares? The important issues should cause us agony and isomnia instead. There are many more topics to ponder in the late sleepless hours of the night like healthcare, the economy, gas prices, the next President, etc. Those are things that we can change and actually make sense losing sleep over. It just seems that America wants to go into cruise control and eat their McDonald's and Burger King and get super sized (go rent/buy it) in the process. What is wrong with all of us?
I couldn't help but complain to someone, the gas has to come down or we have to regress to "Flinstone'n" it around town. I just paid 3.89 a gallon for gas today. I know for a fact that we are still lucky - it is much, much worse it Europe. In many countries across the world it's much worse. Just imagine shelling out $9 or $10/gallon. That's where we are headed if we don't figure something out soon.
How are we supposed to fight these ever rising increases in our expenses when wages and incomes just don't seem to go up as fast as the costs we incur every day. We are in a losing battle, it seems. We need to come up with something to get our world back.

Well, I don't want to keep writing too much, I think I am going to go to bed, or at least try to now. I will try to get in here at least once a week and let you know what's going on in my head. Til next time...
