okay okay, so, i know i cant drive legally yet. but i still hear about the awful gas prices and how much they are affecting us, i personally think they are just playing a game. a head game. its like a physiological war fare against Americans.

joe: "Hey Mike, you wanna make a quick billion?"
mike: "Sure joe but how?"
joe: "raise the gas prices so high, like 3.50, then when it comes down to three, everyone would be so happy, even tho they are still getting ripped off!"

See, its people like this, that are seriously ruining our country and pushing even more people into poverty, i mean, what about the people on a fixed income? like, i know my dad is on disability and the gas prices are driving him insane! or how about the people that are just making it? just enough for food, and the gas to get to work, and then what happens? the gas price sky rockets. and then what? this person is left with the choice, food for this week, or gas so i can get to work to make money and keep my job? it is defiantly a cycle, and when you break that cycle of buying gas instead of food, you lose your job, and then you have...nothing.

but all in all it just kinda sucks.

but life, like gas prices, is kinda like a merry-go-round sometimes your up, sometimes your down, i have some lyrics about this [kind of] enjoy.

JEM LYRICS

"Just A Ride"

Life, it's ever so strange
It's so full of change
Think that you've worked it out
Then BANG
Right out of the blue
Something happens to you
To throw you off course
And then you

Breakdown
Yeah you breakdown
Well don't you breakdown
Listen to me
Because

It's just a ride, it's just a ride
No need to run, no need to hide
It'll take you round and round
Sometimes you're up
Sometimes you're down
It's just a ride, it's just a ride
Don't be scared
Don't hide your eyes
It may feel so real inside
But don't forget it's just a ride

Truth, we don't wanna hear
It's too much to take
Don't like to feel out of control
So we make our plans
Ten times a day
And when they don't go
Our way we

Breakdown
Yeah we breakdown
Well don't you breakdown
Listen to me
Because

It's just a ride, it's just a ride
No need to run, no need to hide
It'll take you round and round
Sometimes you're up
Sometimes you're down
It's just a ride, it's just a ride
Don't be scared
Don't hide your eyes
It may feel so real inside
But don't forget it's just a ride

Slowly, oh so very slowly
Accept that
There's no getting off
So live it, just gotta go with it
Coz this ride's, never gonna stop

Breakdown
Don't you breakdown
No need to breakdown
No need at all
Because

It's just a ride, it's just a ride
No need to run, no need to hide
It'll take you all around
Sometimes you're up
Sometimes you're down
It's just a ride, it's just a ride
Don't be scared now
Dry your eyes
It may feel so real inside
But don't forget enjoy the ride

[but don't forget enjoy the ride]

-Kaci.
