Blog Post #6, Zeitgeist

Our society is frustrated I think. Off course, the economy sucks, money is going somewhere that we don't want it to go, and what not. I don't think we have any happy spirit lately. Well maybe one, the gas price is falling, finally, but you only save about $2 on a fill up but eh. I sometimes do wake up and think why the economy is like this, what can I do to help, but I don't care much but to think. There's nothing I can do to help. Well there is but that probably out of my reach. I worry about what if everything just went downhill. I know that the economy sucks right now and it's hurting everyone. My family owns a business and my parents don't want to make me worry but I know that business is not so good. It's enough to get by and make something but last month, it was so bad that our sales dropped $20,000! That's like...my car!! I felt bad so then I started to save and try not to ask for money. It just worries me that what if one day they have to close it? What will we do? My parents ONLY know how to run a business, a restaurant specifically. I'm hoping that it won't happen.

I think the only thing that is so bad right now is just the economy. I don't think it's one person's fault and I don't think it's necessary Bush's fault, not that I'm defending him or anything. I think he took office at the worst timing possible. 9-11 didn't happen because of him, I think they were set on when, where, and why they were going to attack. It just happens to be that Bush is the president and he had to make a decision. It's either war or not. I'm against the war but it's already happened and we can't turn back now, but we do have to fix it and end it. It's just costing us too much money and resources. If it wasn't for 9-11, things wouldn't be this way. DUH! wow, I'm just like..confusing myself now. Anyhow, I don't know what my point is here. I mean, the economy didn't go downhill overnight. It took awhile but no one wanted to do anything about it beforehand therefore it sucks now. I'm not a big political person so I can't really justify all my reasoning and "theories" and I could be totally off on why the economy sucks, but that's what I think.

This post ties into the new essay I can tell. Not everything is what you see. It's so true! "You can't judge a book by its cover" I think that quote fits perfectly into this. There is no such thing as "love at first sight" How can you KNOW that you love someone by just looking at them? Impossible. You might feel like that person is cute and want to get to know them but please, it's not love until you know the person inside and out. It's 12:22AM and I really don't know if I'm making my point.

In case you didn't have time to look at my site, I make jewelry. I'll be having a craft show soon, you should come and check it out. =D
