Did any of you watch Captain Planet when you were a kid? I was looking at this comic here and got to thinking...those kids had awesome power over the elements. What if someone took over control of those kids and used them for evil? Or they wanted to do bad things because of the emo-years? Wouldn't that be scary?

Nintendo revolution
Don't know if any of you all have seen this (or care) but I think it's totally awesome.

It's shaped like a remote and the analog stick just plugs into it on its own cord extention. It looks very interesting. And, especially, fun to use and play.

I love you all.

P.S. Here is a close-up. Kinda sexy.

Haircut
I am so bipolar. This morning I hated my haircut but now, I love it.

PIC-A-TOURS!

That is my haircut. For now, I like it. It's cute. My janitor friend, Jose, said it made me look older and taller. My French teacher said it was very flattering and everyone else said: "I love your haircut."

But, seriously, who would admit that they hated it? Or that it was ugly?

Anyway.

I love you all.

I got a haircut today.

I don't know if I like it.

I wasn't saying, Kyle, that people who drink are anything less than people. My parents drink and, before they were married, my father drank quite a bit. I'm so sorry that I'm upset that the people I care a ton about are making stupid decisions.

And I'm especially sorry that you think I don't give a flying fuck about them. I'm sorry that you think I don't care. I thought that by now, you'd know me better than that. I'm sorry that you weren't there to see me when I found out that Ben spent the weekend at his brother's drinking and getting drunk. I'm sorry that you didn't see how much I worried about him and still do worry about him. I'm sorry you don't see me pray every night that he, Jackie, Kelly and everyone at college or elsewhere will be okay.

Amanda's cousin died of alcohol poisoning.

I'm sorry that you don't see how important this subject is to me.

And I'm sorry that you don't see how important everyone is to me.

I apologize that I'm having a difficult time adjusting to everyone growing up and experiencing adulthood but I am. There's been a lot of stuff lately that has made me have to grow up and it's too bad that you aren't here to see it and that I'm not comfortable enough to tell you.

Yes, people with make dumb decisions. I accept that. I can suck it up.

I can care about them. And I do.

I love you all.

So we are getting the car. I just don't know when. I probably won't be able to drive it until I get a job and insurance but still: YAY!

Apparently, a Geo Prizm is just like a Toyota Corolla.

Then I'll get to do all those cool car things that I've been planning on doing (visiting Katie and Kelly, driving to school, visiting the houses I used to live in etc).

I love you all.

P.S. Leo is the cutest dog ever. He tries to usurp McHenry, it's funny.

I had a job interview yesterday and today my mom said she found me a car.

It's a '90 Geo Prizm (maybe?) and I hope I get to drive it before we actually get it. If we do.

And I hope I get the job because I need it.

I love you all.

Speaker after speaker at the Nuclear Energy Institute's Nuclear Energy Assembly, held on 16-18 May in Washington DC, weighed in with variations on a single theme: over the next 20 to 50 years, nuclear power is one of the few options, if not the only option, capable of providing reliable baseload electricity to meet increasing global demand without exacerbating global warming.

Of course the NUCLEAR ENERGY INSTITUTE is going to say that nuclear energy is the only way to go! It's stupid to say otherwise. It'd be like a vegetarian restaurant offerring meat alternatives or a mosque having Christian services on Sundays.

To Bodman, the way forward was clear: "We need to develop new sources of energy to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels, and help protect the environment." These new energy sources and new technologies include hydrogen fuel cells to power vehicles, more effective ways to produce wind and solar power, techniques for removing pollutants and green-house emissions from coal, and improved fuel efficiency. However, "there is one technology already in place that can reliably generate large amounts of electricity with no dependence on fossil fuels, no pollution, and no greenhouse emissions. That technology is nuclear power."

Yes. Great idea. Until we have a nuclear meltdown and there is no environment to protect. That's not even going into the nuclear waste that's going to be left behind. What ever happened to hydroelectric plants? All nuclear plants do is make water into steam anyway, right? So why not skip the nuclear part?

I'm rambling. This is just to waste time before lunch.

P.S. "Nuclear power should instead be among our foremost options for ensuring that we have safe, secure, affordable, and environmentally responsible supplies of energy."
