Writer's Block

I just found myself typing different sentences that got deleted and retyped at least five times. I call it writers block but it could also be a subject problem. I was going to continue jabbering about the oil tragedy, how anyone dare call it a spill it’s still flowing like a bladder gone bad. Like in the Austin Power's movie, where he pees uncontrollably then pauses but wait the oil flow has never paused, I guess that’s the difference. I won’t keep going with this oil greed. I’ve had about enough on the oil spill I’m disturbed by it every time I think about it. I can’t save the whole world even if I wanted to. What a dramatic change in weather though.
While in Chicago for the second consecutive month, the weather hit a hit a high of
Ninety four degrees Fahrenheit, I'll have you know it was sticky and hot and I didn’t even want to shake anyone's hand. I thought to myself "as soon as it hits dusk we are good!" well, no we weren't, all the windows popped up with little to no breeze coming through but none the less I've missed the hot Spring/Summer. I'm looking forward to hitting the "beach" has to start correcting all the yuppies that it’s a Lake not the beach. A beach has fish and other Ocean creatures with sea shells on the shore and little conches not just a bunch of empty water bottles and trash. It's normally all those people who have just re located to Chicago that call it a beach. I began wondering how it would affect this area had an oil spill happened in Lake Michigan. I can just imagine how the Mayor would have been so "concerned" maybe he would’ve started an Oil Blasters program. From what I hear and I heard it through the grape vine is that he cut back on his graffiti blasters program. I guess he finally realized it would be better to catch all those murderers running lose around the city than to play cat and mouse with teenagers who like applying paint on buildings. I know it may come to a surprise but Chicago has now been ranked number one in murders. Crime is out of control, last time I watched the news it wasn’t good but when is it? When they find the governor bidding Obama's Senate seat to the highest paying idiot? Or maybe Tod Stroger getting his family through the loop holes of the city for a high paying position? All I know is that the news should be labeled "No Good News”, unless your related to a politician in Chicago because even if its bad news you can just pay your way out the ordeal you get into.
This has been an over all jumpy post but this is what’s on my mind and I have writer's block. Sometimes, I can’t be half woman half amazing. So I have to settle to being an ordinary, curious, opinionated human with tendencies of making everything sound like its a joke because the more you try to make a positive difference in this world it seems to back fire and disgust from deep with in.

Wishful Thinking

While I continue to investigate and navigate the browsers that be, I keep researching different subjects. Subjects, such as and not limited to, wild life, fishing in the Gulf of Mexico, crude oil in water, new substances on shore, and so on, I keep praying and wishing that we can all do one thing, something like the "good deed of the day" to contain this disaster from further threatening our Eco system and our wild life. I'm not a crazy "stop animal cruelty" type of person which doesn't mean I am about being cruel to animals either nor am I a "Go Green" pusher but I am all about making the future safe, clean and better for generations to come. I am about the earth and nature and supporting those people who at times don't even get paid to research and keep the earth "healthy" but if i could go green and if I could do anything else to make this all end soon without drastic compromises of my own health and more importantly my son's, I would. I am saddened to not really be able to do anything else other than donate my time to speaking out on what is simply an opinion, donate my hair and followup on the spill day in and out. But I guess I can, or we can because I just need a "yes we can" attitude to accomplish these things that are not yet visible to our eyes. All the effects this oil "spill" will bring we wont even be able to see, because most of it will be underwater damage and over the time period type of effects. And I emphasize the "spill" in quotations because the word spill can be easily understood more in sentences such as these;" I think I just spilled the beans"- As in it just slipped out. "i spilled my coffee on the car floor"- as in it actually stopped spilling as soon as I picked up the cup. Point is that the "spill" began April 20Th and there have been estimations of it pouring for 90 or more days to come. I am hopeful that this will open peoples eyes and bring people together in efforts on making our cities, countries, and world a better place. But, as events have unfolded for the past weeks or months it seems like no one even gives a shit anymore.
