Bashing Warheads

Berke Breathed's Bloom County

Bashing warheads, Well what did you think? Atomic Bombs? That is a little to dangerous. But we need to find a way to get rid of the nukes. there are around 20,000 atomic or hydrogen bombs and weapons worldwide, and that number isn’t getting much smaller. When a nuke is decommissioned it’s not always destroyed or dismantled, it is just stored. the US alone had 9,400, the only country with more is Russia with around 13,000, and most of those disappeared onto the black market when the USSR went out.

Even thought nuclear war is no longer a huge threat it still is a concern, India and Pakistan both have weapons but they are not part of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty which means that the keep making more bombs.

But don’t worry, As Tom Leher says,We Wil All Go Together When We Go!

[Day 17] Ship Off, Ship Away

On November 16, I’m going to be a mess. Just understand that right now. Also understand that I really, really despise the Marines right now. No, no, I’m not one of those crazy hippies who protests wars or the military, it’s more of a personal issue. Yes, the Marines have personally offended me. How? They’re taking my best friend away from me. Continue reading “[Day 17] Ship Off, Ship Away”

[Day 16] You Can’t Take It With You

Photo 309So I’ve decided to change Thursdays to “do something nice for someone else”, which is pretty much what I’m doing anyways. It’s just easier to fit things into a category like that, and it makes this project just slightly less selfish and narcissistic. And before I start this post, I just want to suggest that everyone go out and buy the “Nothing Personal” album from All Time Low. It’s amazing. Continue reading “[Day 16] You Can’t Take It With You”

[Day 15] I’m over getting older

Photo 289Lately, I’ve been getting into tea. I didn’t get into coffee until about last year, so I figured that tea, which won’t brown my teeth and stunt my growth, would be a good new habit to get into. So this summer I bought some tea at the local health food store (one kind to help me sleep and one kind to repress appetite) and tried to acclimate. It kind of worked, but I’m sorry, tea just tastes like weirdly flavored, piping hot water. I even tried Chai at Starbucks, but that just tastes like cold egg nog with a kick. Eh. But I really want to like tea. It is the coffee of sophisticated people! In pursuit of my imagined intellectual image, today, instead of my normal hot chocolate, I filled up my travel mug with Earl Gray tea. Continue reading “[Day 15] I’m over getting older”

[Day 14] Star-Struck Lovers

Photo 290Yesterday was crap. I missed half of government to go to a two minute orthodontist appointment, where my orthodontist told me that I must be wearing my retainer a lot (LIES). Then I didn’t go home after school until three hours after school ended, because I went to get my allergy shot, then I went to get some dog food, then I got my brother a water bottle and dropped it off at his tennis practice. My allergy shot made my arm swell up and I was in pain, plus I got really stressed about my psychology test the next day and the fact that I have no money for college. On top of all this and a minor breakdown -tears included-  I didn’t sleep all night. So. Yeah. Bad day. Continue reading “[Day 14] Star-Struck Lovers”
