Welcome to my blog. I will post whatever I am working on, whether it be a creative writing piece, random blip that has made my day, or an opinion I would like to share with the world. I hope that you enjoy reading as much as I enjoy writing!

All ideas are my original work. I do not take credit for work that is not mine. I may borrow pieces such as comics, definitions, or quotations, but will never pass someone else’s work off as my own; I will either credit their source or make it clear that I am not their author. I merely use these as either bouncing boards from which my own ideas can take off, or wish to share something that I found worth repeating.


Remember, today is not simply something to get through, but something to treasure. So smile and enjoy it!!!

How to Save Countless Lives - Drunk Driving

Drunk driving is entirely avoidable, and yet numerous lives are lost each year to this reckless act of stupidity.  Here is my idea for a possible partial solution...if someone could figure out the technology and governments would be on board with requiring it.

Steering wheels should be required to be equipped with blood alcohol scanners.  It would be read periodically through the skin (and able to read through gloves).  If at any point, the alcohol level is over the limit, license plate, and GPS coordinates would be sent to the nearest police station for an officer to pull the car over.

That way, no matter who was driving, and no matter how soon after drinking they got behind the wheel, the car would sense they should not be driving.

I'm just one person, trying to come up with ideas to help the world.

See the World

There are many places I would like to see in this world.  Some, just to say I've been there.  Others, I want to explore its deepest and most hidden secrets.

I have been fortunate to be able to visit London a few times already, and plan to venture there several more times throughout my life.  I never want to look back and regret NOT going somewhere when I had the chance.  While I am young, and single, I want to take every advantage of being able to travel.  

Wouldn't it be awesome, if the world was a safe place, and everyone got along?  If there were no dangerous places, and no reason to fear traveling?  There are many more places I would venture.  Hatred and violence are two things I cannot only not understand, but have no tolerance for.  People need to learn to be better Global Citizens. 

Every person should visit another country, and immerse themselves in another's culture for a few months.  Maybe there would be more understanding and cooperation.

Just a thought.
