It's Been A While

I meant to post a while ago, but I didn't have the time. It's been pretty busy lately between school, life, etc. Anyway, time to catch up.

I was talking with a friend a week or two ago, and we couldn't agree on the most valuable commodity in a high school and college setting: substances or money? Money gets substances, but substances get money. Obviously, while everything can be bought with money (as I will mention later), the demand for substances is greater from what I've witnessed. There is always someone who desires marijuana, alchohol, caffiene, concaine, acid, ambien, and even adderol, but very few people walk around trying to sell money just to hoard it. As the value of money drops, the value of substances stays constant or even increases. While the enchange of perscrption drugs and illegal substances remains in the underground market, the affect is still positive for the persons involved. I'm not condoning dealing drugs or doing drugs, but I'm also not denying that they exist, they are sold, and they are used.

Anyway, my second point is that everything can be bought. In America, money is power, power is fame, fame is popularity, and so on. Material goods, physical appearance, friends, and fame just begin the list of what a member of the elite class can have (if they don't have it already). Long story short, I'm hoarding my money, I don't know for how long, and I don't know when I'll spend it.

If you couldn't tell, I didn't know how to end that thought. I don't really proofread this, I just write it. The more time you edit something the less original it gets and the sentences become cookie-cutter repitions. I'll have more to write soon enough.
