Blogosphere

My blog posts do not all base around a central theme. Each post I wrote was just what was on my mind at the time and what I felt like writing about. There is really no central concept to my blog. Each post I wrote has pretty much nothing to do with any other posts except they are all events or opinions in my life. I believe the blogosphere is a good way to express what is on your mind. People can comment on what you have to say and criticize it but your opinion will still be published. These blogs are not a good source of information at all times because you can post what you want but it is a good way to spread knowledge. It is good for people to post their opinion and spread knowledge from reading and commenting on other posts. You can find a lot of valuable knowledge and/or opinion on these posts but it would be wise to double check the information. Blogs are also another way to help with free writing. Blogs force you to open your mind and think about what you are stating. You can just ramble on the whole time in a blog if you are just not flowing well but it still forces you to write something. To be able to sit down and free write helps a lot in writing. This is what makes a difference between a good and bad writer. Blogs do not have to obtain exact information or they would not be blogs, therefore it is not always difficult to express yourself the way you want to. It is a nice tool for someone who has a strong opinion about something and wants to talk about it. There will usually be comments or feedback on most posts which enables anyone to speak what they want. I believe my best blog post is my very first one which talks about the benefits of owning a diesel truck over a gasoline. This post is not the longest by any means but makes many good points. The information is not exact but for the most part i know what i am talking about in this field. I did not look any of the information up but it was knowledge that i had already obtained from the past. I could see this being a problem with scrambling the information up a little but it is still a good source. This post makes the most legitimate arguments out of any other post i wrote in my opinion. Others might have a different view or opinion of this post but I strongly believe the arguments made were good solid arguments and reasons to buy a diesel truck over gasoline. Although I own a gasoline truck and love it, a diesel was never an option for me to begin with. This makes my blog post more persuading considering I own a gasoline but am still stating the benefits and advantages of a diesel.

Karma is a Bitch

Lately a lot of bull shit has been happening. Not everything my fault but half of it at least. I have not screwed many people over or out of thing many times in life or ever really try but in the past school year i have done a few shitty things. I do not want to go into detail about everything but some things were a little bad. I believe in karma and how it will come back to bite you in the ass. If you read the previous post i wrote you will know the things i have gone through lately. In a way i believe that these are somewhat karma for me in a way.

Past 2 weeks = Most expensive time in my life

Starting 2 weeks ago i had 650 dollars stolen from me one night. I have no clue what happened to the money or who could had even taken it. I was furious once i found out it was missing and was ready to rip someones head off. So i was pretty pissed for a few days and had to just deal with the fact i was not going to get it back. So a couple days later i ended up getting a $75 parking ticket. This was a pretty shitty feeling after getting $650 stolen from me 5 days prior. To top off everything a week after receiving the ticket i walk out to my truck to find my window busted out. This incident cost me a total of $150 to get replaced. After adding up all this I am set back $875 in 2 weeks and that does not include the other $200 dollars I spent on stupid shit. The past 2 weeks have been pretty financially stressful especially being a college student.

Bsu parking tickets are bull shit

Earlier this morning i received a $75.00 parking ticket for parking in the commuter lot near lafollet. I would not be as mad if the ticket were like 20 or 25 bucks but 75 is a little steep. I got to my truck 40 minutes after the ticket was written. I know i am not supposed to park there and would have humbly taken the ticket if the fine was not so much. Ball state should not charge there students paying almost 20 grand a year $75 for a parking ticket. Not to mention that there are still at least a hundred spots usually open in the same lot.

The advantages of drinknig hard liqour over beer

The first plus to drinking hard liquor is the price unless your buying the most expensive bottle you can find. Paying the same price on a half-gallon or a good case of beer you are going to get drunk at least 3 times as many times with the half-gallon. So you are already saving money by buying the hard liquor and on top of that you don't have to urinate as much as if you were drinking beer. The hangover the next morning may be a little rougher and the hard liquor may be a little tougher on the stomach but in the long run its worth it.

Suspension lifts are better than body lifts

When lifting a truck or SUV there are a few ways to go. Suspension lift or body lift. A suspension lift will lift up the entire truck including the frame when a body lift will just lift the body up off the frame. Body lifts are safe but at the same time they are not as sturdy as a suspension lift. A suspension lift kit can cost as much as five grand or more depending on the size and quality. A body lift kit could not exceed six or seven hundred dollars. Typically a suspension lift will cost about three to four times the money but it is a much better investment. First off a body lift is all for looks and no performance. It will give you no more clearance what so ever when a suspension lift will give you all the clearance you need. On top of giving you no more clearance underneath the truck body lifts make your truck look tacky. In my opinion a body lift is a waste of money unless you have a ford and it already looks like a piece of shit.

T.V. guide channel

Every night i come back to my room the first thing i do is turn out the lights, lock the door, then grab the remote and lay down in bed. The first channel that i always put it on is the tv guide channel. Every time i watch tv that is the channel it is on, and depending if nothing else is on it will stay on. I could watch the tv guide channel and look at the listings over and over and it will entertain me more than just some shitty show on tv. Anyone who knows me will say that i probably watch this channel more than half the time i watch tv which is not too often but still is a lot of time. So until some actually half way decent shows come out i'm going to stick to watching the tv guide channel.

Why Diesel trucks are better than gasoline

Diesel engines typically have more power than a gasoline engines while getting better fuel economy. Diesel fuel may be more expensive than gasoline but you will typically get about 8 more miles to the gallon. Diesel engines usually last up to 300,000 miles or more unless it is a power stroke piece of shit ford. Diesel trucks will hold more value in the long run over a gasoline truck simply because they last an extremely long time. When you compare a Dodge ram 1500 with a gasoline engine to a Dodge ram Cummins it makes the 1500 look like a joke. The cummins motor will last well over 300,000 miles compared to the 1500 where you will probably get 150,000 miles. Diesel motors have downfalls but all in all they are a smart choice.
