Hi!! I know its been a couple of weeks since I last posted but I can't seem to think of anything worth talking about in my dull life. The only thing that seems to ever excite me is seeing my best friend, the laughing, the playing, the arguing, the talking and soon thats all going to change.

You can call it whatever you want woman's intuition or just plain common sense but I can feel him on the verge of doing something phenomenal but it also seems like I'm afraid of the consequences of this big change. Even with all my fears I know I want him to be happy and the only way he ever truly will be is when he gets a job.

The job thing is one out of a very long list of things that he wants to do but the problem with that is an enormous decline in "us" time. I know I'm being childish but I am a big baby when it comes to him and letting him go to be the person he was before we met is a big thing for me but somehow I'll manage.

Now on to more recent matters in my life The 2005 Transit Strike is really putting a stop to everything in New York City. I have been out of school now three days because there is just no way for me to reach there. My mother has been home for three days because she can't walk to work either. Even with all of the problems the strike is causing I am supportiung the union, let's be serious why should woman have to work up until their due date what if something was to go wrong and I'm sure there are many other little problems that the workers are dealing with but that one hit home the most.

I also think Mayor Bloomberg is handling this all wrong, he needs to stop trying to play the front like he lives in Brooklyn and has to walk across the bridge, he was driven there and then picked up after he got off the bridge, nobody is stupid. Second why is it that high school students can't reach to school when they live in other boroughs, can we not afford school buses maybe one of two for each borough going into another borough and same general direction. Maybe he should be talking to the Board of Education on how this attendence problem could be alleviated. Why is it that he feels the need to call those who are standing up for what they believe is right "thugs". I don't see him calling President Bush a thug and he invaded Iraq because he thought that was the right thing to do.

Of course in all of this I play no role at all because I am only fifteen but wouldn't these be the best set of eyes to look in from. Someone on the verge of adulthood and someone who is mature enough to listen before passing judegement. I actually do wish I could sit in and listen to what both sides are saying because as the saying goes there are always three sides to a story and I'd like to hear the missing side to this one.
