Long island

All i hear about is all of these hurricanes, eathquakes, tsunamis, etc everywhere else except Long Island. People tend to forget that Long island is exactly what its name says. A long island srounded by water on every side. If we ever had any of these natural disasters strike near us wwe really would be screwed. I dont know how many poeple live on Long Island but think about how many of us would have to evacuate. Or even worse what if we didnt have a warning and we all just got struck by suprise. I feel like we take it for granted that nothing will ever happen to us and were invisible. Obviously not, look how many people got messed up from a minor storm that lifted some trees out of the ground? You would think that we were in New Orlenas during Katrina the way people reacted to a rather minor storm that places like kansas, florida, and missouri get hit with several times a year. I hope that the last storm we had isint a sign of things to come, because people will be going crazy if anything worse happens from a natural disaster.

Legal Marijuana

I was watching the news the other day and i see some scientist playing with pot. My first thought was "what the hell is he doing with all that weed". Then i found out that it was called medical marijuana and its now used legally in hospitals for people who have certain painful diseases. A man was talking about how much effort it took him to lift his arm and shoulders but once he started smoking this special stuff, he became much more loose and relaxed. There is also talk that pot may become legal in New York and even though im a kid i still think this might be the stupidest move the government ever made. Once kids start smoking pot they need something stronger and then they turn to schrooms, coke, and ecstasty, another big one especially in my area is Heroin. So why the hell would the government need to legalize the gateway drug to all those life ruining drugs? I truly hope this is just a rumor and pot stays illegal.

Concussion

Everyone fears them, everyone hates them and nobody wants one. But ofcourse at the start of spring break i got one. It all starts with drinking. Once people drink alcohol they become a completely different person and this time it was one of my best friends running his mouth. So he starts talking to an older asshole that nobody likes and then things escalted. My friend dropped a glass and was asked to pay for it and he rightfully declined. It then became a shouting match and i came in to the rescue. It went outside of the bar and then everyone started pushing and shoving and i ended up with a gash on the back of my head compliments to a brick wall. We later found out it wss a concussion. So it really was an excellent start to my first college spring break. Woooo Hoooooooooooooo. But i can honestly say i would do it again. Gotta always protect your friends and family.
