How close exactly is this planet to a third world war? The civil unrest in Iran after a phony election. North Korea and their quest to build a nuclear ICBM. China becoming ever more aggressive in international waters. China bulking and moving around troops within her borders.

All these things don't really seem to add up to much, but let's not forget that wars and even world wars have bene started from less. Iran for example, the civil unrest there could explode into a much larger event if the people do not get what they feel is just. This explosion could spill over into neighboring arab countries causing more violence. the USA, the world police as some nations would call her, might try to calm the unrest by increasing troop sizes inside Iraq, which is the neighbor west of Iran. All it would take is for our troops to head into Iran, even if it were on a humanitarian basis, would most likely still be considered a hostile action by Iran's leaders. This would cause a little war at most, but not very many Americans realize that Iran and Russia have an agreement, If Iran gets attacked the Russions must help if they want their oil from Iran at a cheaper price. Now Russia isn't quite the super power that it once was, but again.. another old agreement between the United States and the Western European countries that was formed after World War 2, NATO. Would force the European Nations to join in the fight in defense of the United States. It would only be a matter of time before North Korea tries to join in on the fight against the United States, China as it stands right now is a wild card, they might join us against russia, or they might not..

China would really be the great decider in the 3rd World War, China is just as powerful, if not more powerful than the United States, through both economics and military, Their technology isnt as great as ours but their ranks far exceed our own, and i dont care what kind of technology you have, theres no way to fight that many people. Right now China is gaining most of their economic wealth from the United States, which would most likely sway their decision to fight with us against Russia, Iran and North Korea.

This is all a prediction of course, so I'm bound to be wrong as to the many other possibilities of things that could happen along the way, but this is just one possible outcome and cause of World War 3

I had a wierd dream last night.. actually 2, 1 of which im not surprised i had.

The first dream is the one that's so confusing to me. The dream was basically normal, as in nothing strange or otherworldly happening.. except one odd thing was different in that world. Somehow i was dating Rachel. Kinda strange, i used to like her. The reason its odd is because I've been over her for the past 5 months or so. Now the thing is the imagery in my dream didnt actually involve Rachel whatsoever but my mind was literally under the belief that she and I were dating. That's all for this dream, i only posted it because i know Rich doesn't read livejournal anymore and Rachel doesn't have one.

Now, for the second dream I had. This one didnt surprise me because I've been watching Dragon Ball Z episodes online for the past few days. So it's not a big shock when i have one about it. Somehow I was in the DBZ world with the "Z fighters" (just cause i dont feel like typing names) and we were in HFIL (Home For Infinite Losers, originally the place was Hell but Cartoon Network didnt like Hell apparently). Basically we were all running around some sort of Gauntlet cause we were trying to make our way back to Earth cause some bad guy was terrorizing the planet.... I woke up before we made it out of there. Im actually hoping i have a continuation of that dream tonight lol.

Anyway those are the dreams I had. I cant find any underlined message with either of them even though it's said that dreams are never literal, there's always some hidden message. Still i dunno if that goes with thoughts in the dream or just the imagery.

for the past few days i've been questioning the existence of god.. what makes humanity so special that allows us to have "souls" as we call them, that carry us into another existence after we pass.

i hope that god exists, but if he doesnt im content either way. i recently read an article that stated that we believe in god and the after-life because our consciousness cant comprehend non-existence, and that god and the afterlife help us cope with the eventual time that our bodies will cease to function. Still i find piece of mind in this, i dont know why.. maybe im crazy.

I find the comfort in the fact that if there is indeed no god, that my body will still be of use to this world and eventually other worlds. I'll explain: when i die, my body will rot, as morbid as that sounds its true (i want a natural burial, no preservatives put in my body). And once my body starts to decompose hopefully some flower will grow on my grave, and will nurish itself off of my body.. making me a part of it. And then bugs will come to collect pollen and innadvertantly spread it to other plants which will eventually spread across this continent and perhaps to plants that could be taken across the seas. Finally, when the life of this earth comes to an end, be it the sun enveloping the planet and destroying it, or perhaps a cosmic collision of some sort. The dust of this planet will spread across the solar system and possibly on its way out to land on other planets or forming planets. this could help create life on that planet. In a way its as if i helped, we are all made of the same thing.. cosmic dust. At least the particles that made up who i am will still exist and spread around the universe. Somehow i find content and happiness in knowing that. I hope that god exists so that i may see that happen, but if not i can still take comfort in the fact that i know this will happen after my body ceases to function.

I really dont know why i put this up here on livejournal, perhaps its because i needed to tell someone how i feel about all this, and because there is absolutely nothing else on my mind at the moment.

President Bush wants to sink another $700 billion into bailouts... this country is definitely going in the proper direction! YAY FOR BUSH!!!! (sarcasm)

Is anybody else worried about the economy of the US? Obviously most of you have heard that three major US companies have gone under and are being bailed out by the government. The Dow Jones is seeming to be in trouble and has gone down quite a few points. Banks are going bankrupt. If you ask me, if we continue down this same path without any economic reform we will be heading into a depression. And to make matters worse, apparently people are frantic about this situation and we all know that panic in something so dire wouldn't have a good outcome. First of all I don't believe that the government should bail out businesses. They obviously failed at managing their company and it's a bit risky to give them more money to 'play' around with. Working American tax dollars are going to these government bailouts which is just wasting money if you ask me. Maybe the government should have stayed out of it and given some smaller business a chance to prove themselves worthy of taking over where the big business failed. I'm not an economist but with all the job losses around the country there needs to be something done about it.

With gas prices on the rise due to higher demand and the industrialization of the Chinese nation, the cost of a barrel of oil will undoubtedly rise even higher. that being the case, and with our economy going into a downward slide. maybe it's time to start searching for alternative fuel sources for vehicles and for the electricity that powers the things throughout our everyday lives. A small fraction of government funding is going to the research to discover and refine new technologies that could reduce our need on oil and other such fossil fuels. If only the government would put major funding into research and development we could discover more efficient ways to capture wind and sunlight and turn them into a major power source. Obviously these things wouldn't build themselves so it would only be natural that this would have to employ many workers to produce solar panels and turbines to capture wind energy. So not only would we be able to be able to live on a cleaner form of energy, more people would have jobs, and maybe that would help improve the economy.

So i play World of Warcraft... does that make me a nerd/geek?

its really been about forever since ive last posted anything, so i felt i should at least put something down.... that being said thats all i have to put down...

in case you guys didnt hear already the party store at the end of my street, which im really close to, got assaulted by two men, the party store owner got beaten to death and was cut a few times. The two assailants ran off but were later captured by the police with the help of heroic citizens of my neighborhood. what really pisses me off though is that they killed a poor old innocent man that did no wrong to anybody, they had BEATEN HIM CUT TO DEATH. He never stood a chance. And what was all this violence for? money? not even that, the only thing they took were lottery tickets. Can you believe that? A mans life ended over some measly lottery tickets. All i can say is im glad i wasnt the one to tackle the killer to the ground, if i had i probably would have beaten him to death. Im pissed off that hes probably going to go to jail for 5 years and get off on parole. He will walk 5 years from now and it would be as if nothing had ever happened, and yet the man that they killed will never come back, his family will have to deal with that loss for the rest of their lives knowing that their father, her husband, died over some lousy lottery tickets.

I think i kind of screwed myself over in life. That being said i will explain a bit more, When you like somebody there are the majority of us who wont really be straight forward and admit it to the person that we like. We will drop little hints and hopefully if your not like me, you can do it and it wont be noticed imediately, but after the person has thought about it, unfortunate however that i have never dropped off hints often and enough to where they go unnoticed for a while but if i were to do something that goes out of my way of being such as say that somebody is beautiful it would surely tell them immidiately that i like them. Another factor in me being screwed over by moi is that i have this incredibly shy side of me that i try my hardest not to let out, yet when im around girls that i like i cant hold it in any longer and thus is the reason why i dont talk very much around girls which usually ends up making the situation awkward. All this being brought into the light it shows why i have had only one girlfriend in my whole life, which is kind of a sad number if you ask me. But whatever if i got screwed.. it was only because i let myself get screwed.

well yesterday was a pretty good day even though i felt sick in the early part of the morning, it was reduced to just a small headache later in the day. I had to read a monologue in fornt of my theatre class, thought it would be horrible, but as it turns out i could make the scene last longer than i thought. Also... report cards, i didnt expect mine to be any good but i was way off on that, they were actually very good, 3A's, 1B, and a D+.. i suck at math so why bother. I got $20 for each a i got so that makes $60, unfortunately i cant spend it because my dad put it towards spending money for my trip to Cali in May. around 8pm i started on my english report thats due tomorrow. At 11pm my grandma called and said she was having a hard time breathing so i woke my dad up and we both went next door to her house. We all talked about what we should do and we came to the conclusin that she was going to the hospital. Since my brother wasnt home and my dad needed help taking my grandma to the hospital i had to go, i didnt mind, i was worried and wanted to help anyway. Once we got to the hospital they put my grandma in the emergency room and we met up with my aunt and uncle whom we called earlier. They ran a whole bunch of tests and still havent found any reason for her breathing trouble and pains in her back. Suffice to say i havent slept since 6am yesterday so ive been up 24 hours now, so im going to go to sleep and take a day off of school. Im also posting this as a blog on my myspace since livejournal is dying now.

well................. I havent updated in a while, and Miriah told me to otherwise she would kill me. So i chose life and am going to update, even though i dont know what about as you can clearly tell that i am just trying to take up as much space as i can without thinking. Anyway... today was pretty good, really just like any other day. Id say that sixth hour has really been sticking out as one of my fun classes even though its math. This kid named Mike really keeps it interesting by the way he acts in it. As soon as the teacher was done with the lesson he turns on his stereo and starts dancing to it, it was hilarious. After school and the abuse on the bus i got home and was feeling hungry, so i decided to order pings carry-out, my brother did too, but since they always try to screw us on the rice we ordered separately. When we got there my brother paid for his and got a bag and walked out, then i paid for mine, noticing i didnt get a bag and that there was one right there on the counter, i took it. When we got home my brother opened his bag to find that my food was in there too.... apparently i took (stole) somebody elses food. i looked inside the bag i had and it looked really disgusting, so we took it back. Lets just say that the lady at the counter wasnt too happy that i took the wrong bag. Oh well, that was my day thus far, if your lucky i may update again in a month or sooner.

Today was a better day than the last few days, i feel a little better about the incident 2 days ago, im still not friends anymore with rich, Im still not completely over everything but whatever. People have been trying to help me get over this and i thank them very much for doing so. Other than that, my classes today were pretty good, last three classes of the day are usually the best, add a PD day into the mix and its way better, Econ we did no work besides go over the notes with the teacher. English we had a quiz but it was really easy and i was done in a matter of minutes. 6th hour was math and we did no work in that for like half the time. I was supposed to meet up with my group for theatre but not everyone could get together that day so we are doing it some other day. Thats been my day so far so i will talk to you guys at school tomorrow.

this week has been horrible, My girlfriend, danielle, who i still care about broke up with me, it isnt her fault though i guess it was just meant to be. I also stopped being friends with someone whom i considered my "best friend" because of the most idiotic and fucking gay thing he could ever do, he doesnt deserve to be my friend so screw him. Other than that its been a good week so far. I'm still depressed though.

The only relationship that i have ever had...... and its gone in a matter of 3 weeks

this week was ok, it would have been better but i have been sick the past few days, nothing big just a stuffed nose and a sore throat, but it finally seems to be clearing up. All my new classes are pretty good too, i know people in every one of them so that is great.
1st hour: Physical science (i know its a freshman class), not a bad class when you have Malfroid. This week has been spent watching Apollo 13
2nd hour: Study Skills, i must say that this is the easiest class to earn credit in, you can sit there and do nothing, but i think its better time spent to do your homework in there so you dont have to do it at home.
3rd hour: Theatre 2 so far has been really good, always a fun class to have especially when your doing an improv scene where you get to play someone like steve Irwin. The only thing that worries me is the final exam.
4th hour: Econ isnt that hard, then again it is only the first week of it. The whole day consists of note taking, which is easy but im not sure how hard the tests are going to be.
5th hour: English has got to be one of the best classes i have ever had. Mr.Magiera is a very funny teacher who can keep the class entertained as well as teach them something.
6th hour: Math may not be my best subject, but it is definitely better to have it at the end of the day so i am more awake and am able to learn what the teacher is teaching.
I also have a great girlfriend now, her name is danielle and i asked her out on saturday.

Things are sure coming together. I am going to see Danielle on saturday which is great because i miss her a lot and time seems to be ticking slowly until that day. She is one of the greatest things to happen to me and i like her so much that its really hard to explain it. When i talk to her online it is easier for me to tell her how i really feel, becuase i really get butterflies in my stomach when i am around her, it is a good feeling to have. Every day i think to myself that i cant wait to talk to danielle. Everyday is a great day if i get to talk to her. I really miss her and cant wait until saturday.

why is it that now i am starting to worry about the things after school? It was no more than a year ago that i had no worry for things in my future, but now i find myself wondering why did i screw up my freshman year and part of my sophomore? Im thinking to myself that now I have screwed myself over in my 9th grade year that im not going to be able to get into a good college and that i will have to settle for a community college. This year i am trying to alter my future... which is me winding up being just another guy with an average job because he didnt have what it takes to get into college. I have done really well this semmester and i intend on continuing my good streak. Things are starting to look a whole lot better for me this year too, Grades are up, im not afraid to go to school anymore because i do all my assignments, and what i think is the best is that i have met a wonderful girl whom i like a lot named Danielle. I cant wait to see her again because i miss her a lot. All these things that i have posted have been running through my mind ever since before vacation, and i plan on having a successful life.
