I Rock Fairfield on Two Wheels

Ok so here's a quick question to think about before you read this. Have you noticed how warm it has been out lately? I bet you went home for the long weekend and brought back some cold weather clothes. Unfortunately for you, its still real warm out. Catch my drift yet? The world is getting warmer because of all the CO2 fumes reeking from the mufflers of your all wheel drive, 8 cylinder sport utility vehicles; a.k.a house on wheels.
Now I'm not an environmentalist or anything but I want to know why I'm getting such weird looks from stuck up students when i zip past them on my 21, yeah thats right 2` speed Schwinn bike. Stop hating! My bike gets me anywhere i want to go no campus in under five minutes. It does wonders for my acing ankle, or leg if your Doctor Simon, by providing me with a low impact form of transportation. I can throw my books in my bag, strap my laptop around my back, or throw some stuff in my pockets and be anywhere i want to go before you think of some corny line to say to me when you see me unlocking it.
But the fun doesn't stop here. I take my bike all over the place. I take it to the bank, to CVS, and even to Stop and Shop when i need a few things. When i ride, i always have the right away, never have to adhere to traffic laws, and burn fat instead of the human money pool known as gasoline. You know what else is nice., I never have to do an extra lap around campus looking for a parking spot. My bike is always right outside my door, mere steps from the foot of my bed. And parking tickets, umm last time i checked they don't get put on bikes.
So maybe next time you see a red streak shooting around campus, you'll wave and let me go rather than point laugh and rip some exhaust in my face.
But honesty, I don't care what the hell you do, cause all that money you keep flushing down your gas tank, ill be laughing as i ride to the bank of America and watch my checking account rise like the gallons, and dollars you beg to slow down on the nearest gas pump.

Ride a bike, or take a hike bitch

Life??

Ok so I have slacked off a tab bit with this blog stuff, but never again. Anyone who knows me can tell that i have been handicapped for a long time now. My right foot has two bones that are fused together and will prevent me form ever being an athlete again. This unfortunate event has given me a new prospective on life in general. It has taught me that people take two many things for granted in life. What would happen if one day you woke up and realized you could no longer walk. Or what if one day you didn't wake up at all, as in the case of our recently deceased classmate. Be positive about what you have in life. When you think that everything sucks, and wish for luxuries unnecessary to your existence, think of someone who would die to have your life. Life is good; and if your not living on the edge, your taking up way too much damn room.

What Should We Be Thinking About Today

I find it ironic how two of the music industry's biggest stars can pick today of all days to pit their simultaneously dropping albums against each other.
Six years ago on a Tuesday morning the world saw one of the most horrific acts of terror take place on American soil. The war was brought to us with a thundering force no one thought could be used against America. As a majority of the country came together in morning, another large part turned their ears away from church bells and into headphones blaring one the two newly dropped albums by Kanye West and 50 Cent; "Graduation" and "Curtis."
In the land of bling, making it rain, and rims on cars, the subculture of people who idolize this lifestyle and place it before the reality they exist in are showing their true colors. Fans watch closely as 50 cent threatens retirement if his album is outsold by Kanye West. But does it really make a difference.
2,752 people died six years ago. 2, 752Mothers, fathers, teachers, friends, husbands, and wives left this world. Sorry if I don't find it important if one rapper leaves the game.
