Oil Spill?!?!?

Incredible how some people can always manage to make things even worst. Just as I thought things were getting better an oil spill had to happen. I was mad, and outrage when I first found out about the oil spill. I could only imagine how GREENPEACE must have felt. Oil the one essential item that we need and the worst thing that could have happen happened. I really can't believe it. This is adding more problems to what we already have. Animals the one thing that have not been greatly affected by the oil shortage, are now being affected. This is horrible news for the endangered species, and GREENPEACE. The worst thing of all is that it happen on the Gulf Coast and that means that there are no ways to contain the oil spill. It happen on sea and all marine life is in danger. This is going to have a great affect on the current economy. How much money is this going to cause taxpayers? How long until the oil spill is contained and cleared out of the water? These are only some of the questions that people have in mind. The money is the one thing that people worry about. As a fellow worker i could only imagine how much money this was going to cost me, how much more short is my check going to be. With my check being short as is i don't think that i am going to be able to manage my bills. I can barely manage them as, ans with the short check already i don't know how I'm going to be able to keep up with my payments! I hope that they take quick actions and not much money if taken out of my check.

Business and Oil

It’s hard to compare today to 10 days ago! Just taking a look at my neighborhood and seeing that most of the stores that were around are now close. One of the businesses that have been most affect might have to be the local meat and fresh produce market. It was hard for me to believe that one of my uncles lost his job. At first I thought that he was just playing around but after a few days that I kept seeing him around the house I actually believe him. He told me that since there was no more oil there was no more use for truck drivers. As more and more times goes by I can see that it is getting harder to live as it is. I had to take actions for my self if I wanted to stay alive, so I got in my head that I had to start planting my own fruits and vegetables. What I believe that we need to do now is to start our own community garden. We are limited to the resource but not for the essentials to survive. We have to set aside our wants and focus on our needs. I started taking public transportation and to tell you the truth for a student it’s really cheap. It’s less than 40 dollars a month and I can go were ever want. I only use the car when I have to which is rare. I find funny because most of the major companies that would make their money on peoples wants are no longer rich, they are falling apart, and most of them don’t even exist any more. I still can’t believe that it caused us the oil for people to start realizing how dependent we have become on so many things.

Where's MY FRUIT?

Today I was surprise to fin that so many different of my fruits come from different places, such as bananas come from Guatemala and granola bars come from Minneapolis, MN. I can’t believe that in order for me to have my fruit at the corner market it takes so much oil. One of the most popular fruit that is known comes from Guatemala that is about 2192 miles to travel to get to the corner of my street. Now with out oil I haven’t had bananas, it has been so long that I have tried them I forgot how they tasted. Now little by little more and more food is going to start disappearing, food and fruit from foreign places. Well believe it or not I have started to grow my own strawberries and they are looking really good. ^_^. I have tried to go to a Farmers market but the distance for me to travel everyday and go get some fresh food is not an option, maybe once a week would be nice but not every day. That’s why I started the strawberry patch. I have also found a Fresh and Easy market but the distance if the problem again. With the transportation situation I can’t carry much in my hand so there for I have to go back and forth and like I said earlier it is only good for maybe once a week but not every day. I wonder how long will this last till people realize that this is not going away it is HERE and HERE to stay…

No where i can go for Vacations

I couldn’t believe it today! The very first time that I was going to go to Thailand I was told by the airlines that there are no planes that are taking off or lading! This was not my day. To top it off I wasn’t going to be able to meet up with my friends. I keep on wondering how long is this going to last it’s been forever since I have seen my friends. I think of me and meeting my friends and how that got cancel just imagine how bad it has affected other people, important people that have meetings around the world. Now thinking about people canceling their flights just imagine the money that the airlines have lost in one day of canceling flights, and the problem is that the airlines don’t know for how long they have to keep canceling the flights. If this continues even for a week I don’t think that the airlines have a chance of making it with the money that is being refunded. I wish I could say that I can carpool but you can’t make it to Thailand by ground, and trying to go by boat is going to take time. The waiting list for a ride on a boat is really long and I don’t think I’m going to make it to Thailand this year. HOW LAME! Well at least my friends are having fun right! But enough of my friend back to me how will I get my fruits? Those fruits that get imported from other Countries, no more can I be help to being picky with the fruit that I can eat at this point it’s eat or die. And it’s funny because the only one that are working and bringing in the household would be me and my mom my dad was one of those unfortunate ones that got laid off. I know for a fact that since I have barely started working I and the shop needs to make some cuts I know for a fact that I am one of the first one to go. But if this continues the unemployment rate I don’t think that I and my family can make it. We might have to start looking at other ways of saving money and food to survive. HOPE THIS DOESN’T LAST FOR LONG!
