dearest ex-boyfriend:

politix.

Basically, global warming is a crock.
It's a big hoax that scientists and environmentalists have thrown out there
to make themselves famous and to get everyone in a big scare.

and whats really dumb is E80.
I mean, we're burning our food for fuel.
Sure, it sounds good... 20% corn in our gas tank?
but the reality of it is this:
if we use our corn for fuel, what will we eat??

here's the breakdown:
1. the demand for corn will go up, thus raising the price of corn.
2. if the price of corn goes up, farmers will have to pay more to feed their cattle corn.
3. the farmers will then make up for the costs by raising the price of meat.
4. meat will become more expensive.
5. corn is also used to make LOTS of other common foods. (e.x.: cereal, bread, granola bars, etc.)6. all our food will become expensive!

and long story short, the price of food will go up A LOT,
and gas will stay about the same because theres still that 80% fuel we have to pay for.

Q:
why do we have to buy expensive, foreign fuel when we have just as good of fuel in our country?
A:
because crazy environmentalists are afraid that we will "kill the earth" or whatever.
so then, why can china, and afganistan, and europe all drill for oil,
but we can't because it will hurt our earth?
don't those other countries share the exact same earth?!

its like this:lets say you have a pumpkin patch in your yard.
well, the government comes in and says "you can't harvest those pumpkins,
because it may harm the earth, so you have to buy european pumpkins,
to save the planet."
except european pumpkins cost 10$ each, when you can get yours for free.
sound good to you?

evironmentalists do not want us to drive cars,
but yet, how do THEY get to work everyday?
cars.

they say we need to use electric cars.
but you have to charge them, with electricity.
where does electricity come from?
power plants.
and apparantly, power plants are bad too,
because they polute the earth with all the smoke.
so then what ARE we supposed to drive??

actually, cars, factories, and power plants have come a long way since the 1940s...
they were terrible on pollution and gas mileage, etc then, but now?
they are much better.
factories and power plants have filters that remove most of the pollution coming out of their chimneys.
cars get 20-30 miles per gallon, when they used to get approx. 10-15.

here's what will happen if/when barrack obama becomes president.
he says he will "start a lot of programs" or whatever.
but what he's really saying is
he's going to raise taxes and use YOUR hard-earned cash to:

a) give away to katrina victims,
but it doesnt always go to them. it was in the newpaper a week or so ago
that a man from cf spammed the government into thinking he was a katrina victim.
they gave him a 1,000$ gift card, which he used to buy a flat screen TV.

b) give to poor people, and some of those people live "in the ghettos"
so they'll spend all that money on drugs, guns, or alcohol.

c) raise the congressmen's taxes even more. they already make $169,300 per year.

so there you have it. if you vote for obama, your money will most likely fund either
hackers' TVs, gangsters' drugs, or rich congressmens' raises.

and that's my take on politix.
the end.
questions??

sorrrry.....

so i've now changed my url back to heidapalooza...
sorry about all the confusion..
i had to change it to eliminate a certain stalker. *cough*
thank you for your patience, good citizens
lots of love,
heidi

=D hehehe.

me: so i was watching a movie with my parents, but then it started getting awkward cause they were like having sex and stuff
isaac: WHAT?!? your parents were having sex?! during a movie??!!
me: nononono, i meant the ppl in the MOVIE were having sex....rotfl.
isaac: oooh. thats a relief. but you know, your parents DID have sex once... or twice... or a lot... and thats why you're here!!
me: ...thanks, isaac. its okay, i wasn't planning on eating my supper anyways.

Super8sucks.

Urbana Super 8 manager:

I recently stayed at you're hotel, and i was not pleased. here is my feedback:

we were in urbana, and needed to get a hotel. so we looked up "super 8" in the phone book, and called it, and booked a room. but later, we discovered that we had reserved a room in the wrong town, champaign.

so we politely asked if we could switch hotels, from the champaign Super 8, to the urbana Super 8. we had assumed it would not be a big deal, since they are affiliated.

not only were we rejected, the front desk attendant was excessively rude to us throughout our stay.
1. she very rudely told us that we could not switch hotels. "no. you can't. the end." "enjoy your stay here. *sarcasm*"
2. when we picked up a buisness card, she said "would you like like 1-800 number to complain, too?"
3. when we asked for an extra towel, she sighed, rolled her eyes, and then stomped off to get one, and slammed the door, then shoved it into my hands
4. when we were leaving, she was standing outside the hotel, talking loudly on a cell phone, smoking a cigarette, and not attending the desk. we had to wait for her to finish her "highly important phone call" (she was talking to her mom about some random car show.) before we could check out.

we were not at all pleased with our stay, and we don't intend on staying again, or recommending Super 8 to anyone else.

sincerely,
an annoyed customer

What can I say?

Its all about embracing change.
Learning to accept it and make the best of it.
Nothing lasts forever.

They say history has a way of repeating itself.
Don't let it.

Don't let it happen again.

The Challenge

I have a challenge for everyone.

Step 1: compose a list of 10 bad things in your life. 10 things that bug you about people.
go ahead, type it.

Step 2: Select your whole list.
Step 3: Press the DELETE button.

There. Did that feel good? because it should have. Sometimes it helps me to just forget about my troubles for a while.

Today, I had a lot of things on my mind. And you know what i did? I walked down to the corner and sat. I didn't even really think. I just sat. And Muffin came too, so i petted him
I know it may not solve your problems, but it helps keep them in proportion.

Now. Let's try to optimistically place our minds on another topic.
I want you (yes, you) to make a list with as many good things as you can.
Here's mine:


Things I'm grateful for:
1. I have you. If you're reading this, thank you. thanks for caring about my life.
2. I have a non-tornadoed/non-flooded house to live in.
3. I live in a country where I can say what I want, believe what I want, and for the most part, do what I want.
4. I have a really big family who cares about me.
5. I have food, shelter, water, and clothing. Basically the only necessities in life.
6. I have a pretty cool job starting next august, and detasseling to look forward to.
7. I am healthy, for the most part. (just allergies)
8. I have a computer in which to type my blog on.
9. I have a fridge full of cream cheese. thanks guys =]
10. I have a mother who really cares about me and wants the best for me.
11. I have Muffin. He may look like just a lump of fat to you, but for me, he's amazing. He's always there for me, even when others aren't, and he'll always listen to what I have to say. He keeps all my secrets and doesn't make fun of me for them.
12. I have a pretty cool room, house, ipod, bird, closet, pingpong table, tv, dvd collection, life.
13. I'm lucky enough to have a couple groups of friends.
14. My parents arent divorced.
15. I have a straight-gay friend who is amazing.
16. I'm alive.

I could go on for a long time, but my mom is telling me to get off the computer.
So go ahead. Take the challenge. It helps.

Confessions

Sometimes when I first meet someone,
I act sort of shy and cold because
I don't want to be myself
because I'm afraid they won't like me.

how i spend my life:
1% being mad at friends
2% shopping
3% on facebook/blogger
9% laughing
10% eating
12% being sad
20% at school
43% sleeping

It takes a long time for someone to earn my trust,
but it takes even longer for them to win it back.

Occasionally, I lie about how I really feel.
But lately, I've done that so often
that I don't even know how I really feel.

I don't really know where I'm supposed to be right now.
It feels so right, but its too good to be true.

I'm so confused about so many people right now.
including myself.
Even though I shouldn't even care about some of them,
I still do.

When I say I care,
Sometimes I really don't.
When I say I don't care,
Sometimes I really do.

I imagine myself in lots of people's shoes.
Sometimes I think,
"I would LOVE to be *insert name here*!!"
and other times, i think,
"It must suck to be *insert name here*!!"
which is otherwise known as judging people.
i tend to do that a lot.
