"i know you would be there either way
i'm so glad it seems like these times will never fade
so i'll tell everyone how much this means to me..." fall out boy

jumping on my friendship bandwagon once again :)

i cannot emphasize enough the power one person can have in another's life. the simple action of taking time out of your day and giving it to another is beautiful to me. i realized once again today about the blessings i have especially in my friends. though they may not understand it, if they know something is important to you they will respect that and help you out.

i've been burned so many times before by people and it is amazing to see that after all the smoke clears there are still people there waiting with open arms and in the end, those are the ones that matter.

on another note, i watched an amazing show tonight. i recommend it to everyone! it's from the guy who did "supersize me." he has a show that is called "30 days" on fx and tonight's episode he and his girlfriend tried to live on minimum wage for a whole month with nothing else. it was horrifying to see how some people have to live with those standards. min wage hasn't been increased since 1997 and nationally i think the average is a little over $5.00 an hour! noone can work full time and afford to live no matter where you are in the country. but what was the most disturbing was that both him and his girlfriend got sick or injured and both had to go to emergency where their 2 visits (total) amounted into over $1000 for a simple infection and a hurt wrist. many people live without health care and that upsets me greatly. i think the right to health care is a human right and shouldn't be taken away simply because people cannot afford it.
in the end i really hope people watch his show and learn something new. i encourage watching, it's a great show!
