people


why is it that when you are purchasing something you lose yourself in what you are buying. i work at a store that sells no necesities. we sell pools and hottubs. but when a costumer sees their hottub they become a different person. they are obsessed with it. they want all the best chemicals... which i have to get... they want things to make the water smell good... which i also have to get... they want all of the fun toys, and when we sell one, i have to move it... they are obsessed with having the very best and at any cost. that is how materialistic we have become. since the economy is poor right now people do not travel. they buy pools and hottubs and relax in the comforts of home. and when they want this comfort they come to me.

incubus



I enjoy incubus quite a bit. i listen to them more than any other artist. to me they dont just make music, they make a difference. in 2007 they where awarded the most eco-friendly band in america. they inspire others to do good in their music. their music video for megalomaniac supports the stopping of the iraq war, view video here. Also in an attempt to stop government filtering and our devotion to the media. there video " Talk show on mute" is a throw back to 1984 and the government controlling us in the media. view video here

who am i

^
me at a charity scavenger hunt

If you are asking this question you probably dont know me.my name is mike i got to stevenson. i work at the great escape where we sell pools and hottubs. i play the guitar and bass, i skateboard, i voulenteer outside of school at the center for enriched living. we take care of adults and teens with mental disabilitys. i aspire to be a teacher and to go to siue. my favorite bands are incubus and ludo. i feel silence is only awkard when you are in an unfamiliar place with unfamiliar people. this , i think, is why people turn to blogging. its an impersonal way to tell the world what you think and display what you are working for.
