Mmmm, delicious low 90s

When I got off of work today, I went outside and was so blissfully happy. The temperature was so NICE. It's, what? Ninety-two degrees outside. The humidity isn't so bad. I nearly cried my relief. Yesterday was one-hundred and five degrees. 105. The day before that was just as bad. 103 maybe? After three days of over 100 degree weather and VA's shitty humidity, everyone was so grateful for NORMAL hot weather we talked about it all day.

Here's to not suffering in sweltering heat \o

But I actually woke up last night because it was too hot. That's telling you something, when I WAKE UP because it's too damn hot. Not a first, but it's hella rare.


And in other news, my Senator. Oh, lol. I really do like my senators. Webb made a big co/ed post in the paper about how affirmative action and minority programs to help those in need weren't helping the people who are supposed to be helped by it [black people] and is turning into a big[ger] pot of reverse racism against whites. *strokes the man* While it isn't that simple, what he wrote nor the topic itself, I give him a thumbs up. I agree in part, and disagree on a few things, but I wish people could talk about it without being large douche nozzles about it. And don't get me started on that shitty [conservative] blogger who totally disregarded the message of that [black] woman who was telling the NAACP that we need to overcome and do the right thing. Way to be the epitome of why so many minorities are distrustful of white people. It's those douchebaggy things that stick with them, not the nice things.

Maybe I can move to Britain? Their economy will hold up right? Euro is strong right? Too bad I won't ever get a proper British accent. Black people with British accents are awesome. White people, only so-so. =o= Lawl. I kid. *fuels the race fire in bad taste*

No, it's not just because the dollar is weak. It was expensive before it was 'weak'. (it's not as weak as you think right now). It's expensive because: Britain has to import most of it's goods. They're an island, so they don't have the land for the agriculture/farming that all their population. Also, their tariffs are higher than ours on some things. I know certain places in Europe (not sure if Britain does this but I THINK they do) not only tax the ITEM coming in but also tax every piece used to make the item. For example: if you're buying a blouse from Italy, the fabric has been taxed, the thread, the dye..etc; then the whole item has been taxed again. (Also, if you want a shock, go look at how high their gasoline is. fffff, then thank God for Texas and Alaska. XD)

That's only part of it I think but from what I hear, a lot of their rights are getting taken away, it's rather disturbing. 8|a

Spanish really isn't THAT hard. It's miles easier than Japanese, you know.

Also, we have NAFTA.

Well, I'm sure the Euro took a hit. *looks at Greece and a few others* And the dollar is still the dollar but holy taxes batman! And we complain over here. And no. That's okay. I KNOW their petrol is fuckcockulously high. I would. Never drive. Hello public transportation. Or my legs. Good ol' legs. I heard they also unplug EVERYTHING to prevent electric bill rape. Well. More than they already have.

Oh my. Well. I don't know much about over there. *just starting on my own state and country, lawl*

I'm not a fan of spanish. I took it in HS for the advanced diploma [that I didn't need, ff] and then switched to Japanese when I was able. I have to be interested in the language, and I just don't find spanish interesting. Practical purposes still aren't forcing it . Less I move =o=


NAFTA. North American.... Free Trade Act \o/? *didn't google*

You say 'holy taxes batman' but they're thinking of doing that over here too. Say goodbye to cheap clothes and electronics if they do. 8|a

Just wait till in 20 years when it's the official language.

almost! North American Free Trade Agreement.

They're 'thinking' about a lot of stuff. Cap and Trade, yadda yadda. We'll see what actually happens.

Official business language? Or the USA National Official language? Because the first, maybe, the second, bullshit. They don't even want to officially make English our language because 'they don't want to leave people out' so why would they do that when it comes to spanish. e___e

Boo. Close. *looks at America's hat* I think I know more about our beard than our hat... hmmm.
