something I don't understand

Suicide bombers. Seriously. If you think about it, what purpose do they have? You can go into somewhere and blow a whole lotta shit up, but what's it going to accomplish? No one will really know what message you're trying to convey if you blow yourself up.
I think it would be more effective if you made some sort of non-violent stand. I may think that because I'm some sort of pacifist sucker, but whatever. Although I do say killing people makes you awesome, I never really mean it.
This whole bombing in London is a little ridiculous. Al-Qaieda whatever, It doesn't matter who is bombing and who is being bombed, it's all stupid nonetheless.
It will get thrown in the news for a couple days, then it will disappear just like all the other bombings in all the other cities in the world.
Maybe something constructive could catch the attention of the world and keep it. Earth and its inhabitants have ADD. It's gotta be shiny and really really interesting if you want to make a change to how people live.

oh jeez

I should not be held on a pedestal like this.
I'm not that special.
trust me.

so, back to complaining

Work, especially fast food, stinks. Seriously. I don't think I'm ever unhappy until I know I have to deal with being at work. I can be in the best of moods because I've been out with friends, or at riding or whatever, but as soon as I get there it's like this giant vaccuum of grumpiness. Which, right now, I don't need.
What I need is a better paying job. getting 10 cents more than minimum wage just isn't cutting it any more. I have bills, debts, and crap to spend my money on. Like right now, I owe my parents over $1800 because of school and my freaking car. which, by the way, keeps needing random repairs.
I still owe about $200 on my visa because all my pay was going to my car, rather than the $120 I need each month for riding. Which is due this thursday and I don't have money for it right now either.
ALSO I'm looking to buy the horse I've been riding recently. If his owner decides he's for sale. That would be another $4000 I need to find. Plus whatever board would be each month for him. And vet bills. and farrier bills, and all of those other random things that go with owning a horse.
Now, for the money I owe my parents, I think that applying for scholarships for next year will do me some good. I definitely had the marks last semester. 82% average my first year of college. Not too shabby considering I slept a lot during class. And did most of my assignments the couple hours before they were due.
and then, there are my friends. I love them, they are awesome, but god damn sometimes it's like "hello, I'm still here, and I need attention too"
not naming names, but I want my The Reason cd back. You said you'd return it sunday. It's now wednesday.
but it's almost 3am, so I think it's high time I went to bed.

never work in fast food

I've been an employee of the wendy's corportion for almost three years now. I'm making $7.55/h. Adult minimum wage is $7.45.
I absolutely hate my job. Like, it's not just a general discomfort and frustration, it's an absolute and complete loathing for everything about the place. (except some of the people I work with). If there was anything else I could do to hate the place more, I would.
I think I'll go into detail about how much I hate it after I work.
I have to leave now.

hello and welcome.

So I decided to go (professional?)
I have a livejournal, but I think it's time I matured.
I'll still use that
but this will be for mature things.
So, I'm Ariel. this is my blog.
