In the News (Gas prices)

I find that the reason for the high gas prices was Americas money situation. If i were the president of the united states i don't know what options i would even have to help the gas price situation. But it has gotten much much better in a very short period of time. I'm sure our president is working very hard at it to help out our civilians and our lives. All i know that i am very happy at the moment of how the gas prices are changing for the better day by day.

Fiction Draft (Not Finished)

Titanic’s Alternate Ending

As the titanic hits the arctic iceberg a sudden chilling rattle of the ship alerts all. Immediately Captain Smith takes action and sends up flares attempting to gain attention for help. Rose passes by Thomas Andrews and assures him that everything will be alright although she knows there are not enough emergency boats on the ship to save everyone. Some will be left to freeze in the glacial water of the Atlantic. Meanwhile Jack was framed for stealing the diamond necklace Rose had previously wore during the portrait he drew. He was hand cuffed and left down hidden in the ship. Once Rose found where Jack had been put she could not find a key or break the handcuffs. Meanwhile, out in the distance lights from another ship began to appear. The Captain continued to shoot off emergency alert flares so that they could be rescued. Help came shortly, two large ships only big enough to squash all the passengers tightly packed in as if they were sardines. When the rescue men were making their final laps throughout the titanic looking for any lost victims they came across Jack and Rose waiting helplessly. The strong men released Jack within minutes and escorted them to the boats. Shortly as soon as the ships returned to land Jack and Rose ran off and eloped. They spent the rest of their lives in ageless never-ending love along with their five children Jake, John, Joe, Lilly and Daisy. As for Roses previous fiancé Cal, he was never brought back to land on the rescue boats and it has been a mystery ever since where his body may lay.

In the News- Jose Canseco

I understand why Jose probably gave the names of his friends that were also involved with steroid use. He probably had a huge load of guilt on his back that needed to be let off. It was the right thing that he did but im not sure if all his other baseball player friends would agree with that. Im sure alot of his friends that he admitted to have used steroids are no longer on good terms with him now and most like are not happy and don't appreciate him telling their own personal drug use problems to the public. I know that this "incident" with baseball players and steroids will not affect the history of American baseball players at all because we all know by now that many great athletes have been found to have used steroids. It is not something new in America to find athletes using steroid or any other enhancers. I don't find that there is any positive effects to drug use unless it is specifically prescribed by a doctor for health reasons. Steroid use plays and extremely large major role in sports today whether its hidden to the eye of the public or not.

In the News- Obama

I find that its a great thing that Obama won. I think that whether Obama or McCain won then they would try a great dealt o better our country. I'm sure in time he will slowly rehabillitate our country but i think people are too anxious and expect to see a change by tomarrow. If we just give him some time im sur he will do all he can do to try and help our country improve. I find that change would happen whether Obama or McCain won. I dont think his inexperience matters because he seems like a smart individual and it takes a real man to want to take over the huge problems of our country as president.
