I blog, you blog.

I am still some what new to this blogging thing, and to be honest I only do it because it is for a class. I don't really have any interesting stories to share or news to cover. I just want to say hey. SO hello, fellow bloggers. Hello. I hope you are all doing well. 

Peace, love, and blog,

Obama's Dream Team

I would never want to be the President, but he does have some cool perks.

What Obama gets to do that I think would be pretty cool is to make his own 'Dream Team'. He can pick whoever he wants to fill his open positsions. 

Obama does stuff that I can't even comprehnend. It is smart that he picks very smart and wise people to surround him. With the poor economy, he has to pick some people he can trust.

According to CNN.com, Since his Jan. 20 inauguration, Obama has filled only a handful of top Treasury posts. 

Let's hope his Dream team comes through for America.

oh the economy

Oh, the economy. 

I am glad I am not graduating this year. With the poor economy the job market is so poor. Many of my professors have bashed the job market and feel bad for the graduating seniors who are off to look for a job.

Many people say this is the worst economy since the great depression. Now how scary is that. This has also been one of the longest depression since the great depression. It started in December 2007, this is going on it 17 month of depression.

I am not all that knowledgeable on this subject so I have to get my information for others. CNN's articles are very easy to read and understand. Take a look at this article.

Peace and Love and lets hope for a turn around,

My idea on how to fix the nations economy problems.


I don't know much about the economy or the situtaion we are in, but I do have an idea how to fix it.

Professional athletes are paid ridiculous amounts of dough to play their sports. With all the baseball drama with steroids and stuff I think that the players should get punished. Why not take 5 million dollars away from their 20 million dollar contract and put it in a big jar labeled "to fix the economy". The 5 million to that player would be like pocket change and he probably wouldn't even miss it. He would most likely blow it away on something dumb anyways.

All the time you see headlines of rich athletes being sent to jail because of stupid stuff. Punishment them, make them give some of their HUGE salaries to the economy jar.

We could do this with the NBA, MLB, and the NFL.

I wish it could be this simple. It is probably a  good thing I am not the president.

Happy State

Does the state you live in make you happier?

Yes, according to some polls

It looks like sunshine brings joy, it does to me at least. The happiest state was the outdoorsy Utah and close second was Hawaii. I am from Georgia and the sun shine is pretty nice and warm. I say I am pretty happy!

Is your state happy?

Writing for the Johnsonian

I have to try to write a story and get it in to the Johnsonian, the school newspaper. I have a topic but I am having an extremely hard time getting words down.

I want to write a story on FCA and the goal for it on campus. I have interviewed some people about it, and it is hard to find a positive thing about the gatherings, and I don't want to bash FCA in my story.

Hopefully I will find that one person who has something to say that will get my fingers moving and typing.

What to do for spring break

SPREAK '09 is coming up in one week!

So what so I do? I have been offered to go to my friends house in Florida, but  I haven't been home in so long. I am a family person and it would be great to go to Florida and hang with my friends, but it would also be great to see my family.

My family is awesome. I have two sisters and one brother a mom and a dad. My older sister goes to UGA and is 21. My little sister is 15 and is a freshman in high school. My brother is a senior in high school and next year he is going to play football at Auburn University. I am so excited to watch him play.

I already blogged about my two dogs! I love them.

I guess for spring break I could just go to the beach for half the week then go home the other half.

Well see
