Day 227

I was watching the news last night and there was a very short story about how a man in Michigan bought a house for $1. Of course, all the fixtures had been removed by vandals and I think they took out the the pipes, but for a buck that house is a bargain. Purchasing all that stuff won't be a problem.

Well, last night on the news, there was a group of Los Angeles residences on bicycles trying to raise awareness of cyclists and the city's need for more bicycle lanes. It would seem like Americans are reverting to lesser means of transportation while the Chinese are upgrading their bikes for autos. Of course, people are trading in their autos in masse but maybe it will catch on and people will start biking to their destinations (in their free time). Maybe we'll be able to lose our reputation for being overly plump.

But really, I completely forgot how unattractive I thought he was until he stuck out his tongue.

I’m officially broke. I have no money until I feel like it. I have to buy myself my graduation present soon. I can’t wait to get it though I feel as if I will miss my favorite toy. There’s something about being able to
