Life In The Fast Lane

Life In the Fast Lane

I will always remember this day, the date that the twin towers were destroyed, and thousands of lives were lost on this day. It was very unbelievable. I have never wrote about it before, but I am going to tell you that I will never forget it. I thought about it today, but you know it is hard to forget, no matter how many years have passed. I can forgive but I want forget it. It was so disasterous. I read a book that reminded me of this in Fiction class last year. The book was called The Road by Cormac McCarthy. I bet everybody will always remember 9/11, it was one of the worst days in history. That was a big mess, it took us years and years to recover from that disaster. It hard to forget the ones who died in this, many innocent people got hurt. So, I guess when you somewhere or any place you never know what could happen. I just hope nothing happens like this again, but I still do not feel safe no matter how tight security is. This disaster is some of the reason for our suffering. It is shame they have to make us put everything in clear plastic bags before we can board a plane. Now we are paying more for gas, the oil prices just rise and fall, rise and fall. It is a shame that gas is $3.99 per gallon right now. These days, many people can't find work or they lose their job. It is just a big mess now, but I hope it will get better one day.I titled it life in the fast lane because I am always rushing, and it is all my fault. I am going in for work, it is going to be a long day. I will try to post that picture for you, you have to see the new colors of Walmart. It looks very different. I will have to take a picture with my phone, because I don't want to take my digital camera in there.I know this city is not a big city, it is not like New York, Chicago, Los Angelos, and Atlanta, but I just call it life in the fast lane, because I live a fast life, because the hours fly by fast. For instance if I wake up at 11:00am, it will be 3:00pm before I know it, and most of the time I want even realize it. Everything is always rushed. I go to work, come home take a day off, and then I am back at work again. The weeks go by so fast, I never have time to do much, I am always going. I can't believe it is already Friday. When it's Monday, it feels like you still have the whole week ahead of you. But, most of the time I don't because I have to work, I don't have time to enjoy everyday of the week. They weeks would probably go by slower if I did. But, I think I would rather be working or doing something. I would not want to be sitting around not doing anything. I would want to be like some people I know, who does not want to work, that is what it seems like to me. It is not fair when you have to spend your time in a place working and they are sitting home, sleeping all the time, instead of trying to find work. It is bad when somebody is in their 50's works more than someone in their 20's. After work Well now it is 1:08 am, I just got back about 30 minutes ago. I forgot to get gas before, I went in. I didn't know that gas was going up until I was at work. After I got off from work to get gas, most stations were out of regular gas. So, I finally found some gas at Hess, it costs about $3.45, for regular, but in most places regular was $3.71 and $3.99. I prefer exxon gas because it lasts a little longer, but I had to get what they had. When I left here gas was $3.54. They said it was going up because of hurricane Ike. I am surprised that gas at the Hess station was still $3.45 when I got off from work. But, it was still crowded though, I had to wait on a tank. I paid $40 and that still didn't quite fill the Ford Windstar or skippy up, my mom came up with the name. I think I could of used just a couple more gallons to fill the tank. I had a half tank before I filled it up. I posted some picture of the walmart below. Notice the yellow, one customer called it a sunshine yellow, then somebody said it was a butterscotch yellow.It 2 different color blues, one is light blue and one is dark. it looks o.k. you can see the new touch screen register. The workers are stripping the floor off of cost cutters, that is why you see all that junk in front of that door.
