Why Taleah is so awesome.....


Let me just say I have the most awesome girlfriend.

-She understands when I'm so hungry that I can't even hold a conversation. (it happens a lot lol).

-She understands when I'm super stressed because of school/work/whatever.

-Logical reasoning skills are found in abundance in her. (something I failed to encounter in most girls I've dated)

-She cares about what I care about. I tell her things about cars often and she pays attention and likes learning! (ok sometimes i can ramble a bit and I'm sure that gets boring.....but most of the time she likes to learn about car stuff)

-We share very similar views on a lot of things. Which is pretty great!

-She at least samples the cookies I make, even if I burnt them and they would make good charcoal briquettes.

Just a few of many, but its the little things that count. (even though some of these are big things).

Goodnight :)

about the warnings...

Wind chill advisory
Wind chill warning
Heat advisory
Heat warning
Union College's notice to students that they will get frostbite in 10 minutes

What do all these things have in common?

Let me ask anyone that reads this a question:

-If it were hot outside, and you stepped outside, would you not know that you felt hot, and should be careful about how hard you exerted yourself? Or would you need the government/other institutions to warn you about it first?

-If it were cold (like now) would you not realize this upon stepping outside? At the 10 minute mark would you look down and suddenly say to yourself.."aw crap I'm getting frostbite". Or after 30 seconds of SUBFREEZING EXPOSURE would you not think "gee it sure is cold outside, I should really get inside where its warm".

Thank you American government/institutions/colleges, because the average American was just not loosing common sense at a fast enough rate before.
