Whats That Sound?

So I was just looking back at all my blogs I have written so far and they kind of suck.
Anyway I got to thinking about the town that keeps hearing booms underground. I dont know alot about it just what my husband has told me and that is that the town keeps hearing these terrible booms coming from underground and they do not know what it was. At first, they said it was tiny earthquakes and now they are saying it is not. Anyhow that is all I know about it. Now what I want to blog about is what could it be if it is not an earthquake. I have a couple theories.
  1. The government is preparing for the apocalypse by making an underground city just for the military and government officials ( the citizens of America get screwed out of this deal ).
  2. Transformers are real....that would be pretty cool. They were aliens that were buried underground thousands of years ago.
  3. There are giant worms that are running out of food and are getting closer to the earths crust in search for food. Imagine the worms from Beetle Juice or Tremors.
  4. The everlasting search for oil is messing with the earth and some kind of diabolical movement is going on under there.
O.K. the last one was grasping at straws, but the other three just might could happen. Hopefully, the town lives to see another day and none of the above is the cause for the unexplained booms going on.

Orange Polo or Orange Jumpsuit?

So I have been reading and hearing alot about the kid from Florida named Treyvon that got shot and killed. From my understanding, the shooter (Zimmerman), who was the neighborhood watch leader, called the cops when he saw the victim (Treyvon) walking around his neighborhood at night. Zimmerman then went after Treyvon on foot even after the police told him not to. When Zimmerman eventually catches up to Treyvon there is a scuffle and Treyvon gets shot and killed. Treyvon was unarmed. On the 911 calls made that night from the neighborhood you can hear someone screaming "HELP". At first I thought well he was this poor innocent guy and Zimmerman was on a power trip and killed him. But, then a witness surfaced saying that Treyvon was beating Zimmerman to a pulp and that Zimmermand shot him in self defense. Then I  start seeing the real pictures of Treyvon and Zimmerman and I think to myself maybe the media was being a bit biased on this case. The first pictures I saw showed a closeup of a not so happy Zimmerman in an orange shirt that at first glance makes you think of an orange jumpsuit from prison. The first picture of Treyvon was a young cute  boy smiling and wearing a Hollister shirt and it makes you think poor kid, hes wearing Hollister he can do no wrong. Then I saw the more recent pictures of the two guys. Zimmerman smiling in a suit and tie. When I looked at the other picture I noticed that they had zoomed in so far that you couldn't tell what he was wearing, you just saw the orange and it made you think prison, but it could have been a collared shirt or whatever. Anyway, the second picture of Treyvon was of a shirtless guy sagging his pants and flipping the bird. So I dont know what happened that night; was it in self defense or was a guy on a gun toting power trip? What I do know is I feel pretty foolish because I fell for the medias biased portrayal of two men and now I dont know what to believe. It kind of makes me not want to watch the news because I feel like I am being led like a sheep or something.

Terrible Food

Due to writing a cause and effect essay recently about the corruption of the FDA, it has opened my eyes a good about how messed up our government is. I dont claim to know everything about everything, but I dont think we have any control over our government right now. The FDA, for example. The people that make up the FDA are not voted in, they are chosen by poloticians. This is horrible because this is not giving the people of America any kind of say about what they are putting in their bodies. What is good to eat and what isnt. I even read one article that had to do with companies threatening cherry growers for saying that cherries have the same properties as over the counter pain medication. It is illegal to state facts because some one might lose some money. It would be illegal for a prune juice company to say that prune juice may act as a laxative, even though it is true. And then the stuff they are putting in our food and feeding the animals we are eating is terrible too. So what can we do? Try to buy organic things, but how organic are they really and not to mention organic foods tend to be pricey. I am on a budget at the grocery store as it is. I just feel like I am stuck buying chicken and beef flavored poison. Maybe I should just be a vegan. Nah.
