Knees

I really hate knees. Although they serve a good purpose, they are the ugliest part of the body. If there was one way to describe them it would probably be bulbous. I don't really know what that word means, but I think that it really summarizes knees. More than knees, its knee caps. The protrude from the body and look weird if the legs are held straight. It is possible to lessen the ugliness by keeping the knee bent. But you can't have both knees bent unless you are sitting or are really uncomfortable, so one leg always looks ugly when you are standing. I find knees extremely unfortunate.

Political Stance

I typically like to keep it light on this blog, but I can't help but argue a point when it comes to the legalization of marijuana for medical purposes. While marijuana is often seen to be demotivating and completely disabling, it has many health benefits. It helps with sleep, anxiety, nausea, and helps people relax from the stressful, American life. On top of all this, marijuana is not addictive at all. If it is compared with other legal drugs, such as oxycontin, it is miles ahead of the game. Oxycontin is a great pain medication, however, it is extremely addictive. So, why can we allow such an addictive drug to be distributed and not allow a non-addictive drug? Your answer might contain a concern for people driving under the influence of marijuana, but that argument is flawed. Legal drugs, like oxycontin, or even alcohol, are highly dangerous to take when driving. If we can get by with a simple statement on a bottle that reads "do not drive or operate machinery while on this medication," what is so different about weed? Furthermore, weed is a highly lucrative business, bringing in billions of dollars every year. We are in a recession, and this could save our asses. Just a thought.

Dream Car

Most people hope for something fancy like a Lamborgini, an Aston Martin, or a Ferrari when it comes to their dream car, but not me. My dream car is a Jeep Wrangler. I have always wanted one, since I was like 10 when "Clueless" came out. I want it to be white with a tan soft top, or yellow with a black soft top. I would want it to be the "Sport" edition, not because of the features it provides, but because "sport" is written in really cool font on the side of the jeep. When I got my first car, my parents were really close to getting me the jeep of my dreams, but then decided that a 4Runner would be safer. I am not complaining, I love my car (her name is Rudy), its just, I REALLY want a jeep (hint hint, wink wink, Christmas list...).
