10/26 random thoughts

Hello,

I do not know what to write...well lets start off with congratulations on surviving midterms! I am eager to know my com midterm grade.

Right now the sun is shining in the 808 state (HI). Did you know that HI stands for Hawaiian Islands and not Hawai'I as I frequently thought before. Well my friend came back to the states from deployment internationally.

I do not know what else to talk about...

Thoughts...

This weekend has been the weekend to just relax and stay indoors to do homework. I took this time to prepare for my exams. I took this time to gather and organize myself for the remaining weeks of this semester.

This week the government reopened. Why do we have so much debt? How is it going to get repaid? I was talking with my mom and she said that we are probably not the most influential country in the world anymore. We probably owe more to China and other countries and we do not have a happy and healthy population. More and more health problems come up each and everyday and it seems like no one is trying to take care of the problem. I think this is why people do not like to live in America. I no longer think that this is a "free" country when everything need a monetary value and that people are more worried about money than happiness. We are no longer safe. It is a dangerous world we live in. We do not need temporary fixes but rather we need long term fixes.

It has been a "lazy" weekend. Well the government reopened. I do not understand this debt ceiling stuff. I know we are in a lot of debt....but how did we accumulate it? How do we get it to zero out? This country is not living up to its name...."free country" because everything is money related. Why are we not looking for answers to mental health and other health problems? I think we should take care of mental health and make sure that we just do not do it for the money. This is sad that we are putting a dollar amount on things... people in other countries are happier and Healthier. Why cant we do it for love and compassion? This just fustrates me. I do not believe we have any power if we are in debt to other countries.

This world is a scary world to live in because of money, guns, power and abductors. We are no longer safe. We have to watch out for our backs as well as our friends and loved ones.

What to write about... well there has been a lot on my mind. I am trying to find an off campus job. Preferably at an elementary school (I think I am on the track to become a teacher) or an administrator job. Something that is flexible with hours and I would like to have benefits (or some sort of benefits). With this government shutdown I do not know whats going to happen and there are more and more people looking for jobs.

I think the lawmakers should not be able to keep their paychecks during this shutdown because 1) most/ all of them are rich, 2) if they are rich they do not need to pay off mortgages (that is a weird spelling word), 3) I think they want to be even more richer (as the saying goes, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer). Soon everyone will be homeless amid all these new housing that is being built and have even more health problems. This new Obama healthcare plan is killing most people because they are ineligible because they have other healthcare plans such as HMSA, UHA, etc.

Why do things cost money? Why cannot we go back to a barter system? Why could not Congress lower the cost of living, give workers benefits and paid time off like in other countries? I think US would be more healthier, more balanced and less rushed (stressed). If it emulated some other countries.

The first freewrite blog

This is my first freewrite blog. This will be a challenge every week since I am usually not a blogger. At first I did not know what to write about then it clicked...I can write about this government shutdown.

Can one man other than the president of the United States bring back the government? At any time, any day he wants to?

The more days the federal workers are out of their jobs, the more money they are loosing and they could end up on the streets. The government should have made things a little bit cheaper or even get things for a discount or something? In this government shutdown, why are lawmakers still making money and those furloughed workers such as NOAA still "working" without pay? This is ridiculous.

We should go back to our bartering ways or make things cheaper so that people will not have to work as hard. This healthcare thing is getting out of hand. EVERYTHING is costing more. Tell me how many of you enjoy life?? Or better question how many people have a balanced life?

Everywhere is loosing money. The people in the government do not realize that they rely on tourism in DC area to help support our economy and if they are not paying their security guards, NOAA and others who are still working but working for free those people do not feel obligated to do their job...Tourists who are turned away now, overseas and internationally may not want to come to DC because of their experience of being turned away at their dream opportunity.

At this rate people should rethink about how our government is being run...maybe congressmen should have a panel of judges for this kind of situations.
