topic into a paper

I was siting around talking to one of my friends the other day about the possesions that we want someday. Later on it got me thinking about how long it would realisticly take me to get something like that. I came to the conclussion that I probably won't be getting anything nice like that for a good 5 years. It really sucks the more I think about the time its going to take to get what I want out of life. Some people call our generation the "now" generation. The reason for that is pretty clear, we want our stuff now plain and simple. Everyday I think, maybe I can hit the jackpot on the lottery and then not have to worry about anything the rest of my life. Problem is that I don't play the lottery, so you can see my problem. Even if I were to graduate in two years, it would still probably take me another 3 years to get to the point where im happy with the money im making. And I think if I held the same job for that long I would rip my hair out.

This subject could be made into a paper very easily. I could talk about how society is more interested in instant gradification more than the old fashion way of hard work. I wonder if this feeling is going to progress over time to the point of no return. Then the day will come when we will be a bunch of unmotivated creepers playing the lottery with high hopes.

Sometimes when I sit by myself I think alot about love and basically life once I'm all done with school and have started my career. I think about having a family, when I will get married, all these certain things. But theres one thing that really gets to me when I think about it all.... and that is the fact that everyone now days gets married and then divorced, or their having kids by themselves and those kids never get to see their father and/or mother. Look at what is happening to those kids, that single parent, everything. These kids grow up, they see it all, and most of all they miss out on something that they should have had to begin with. I am not saying by any means that it's the parents fault that it happens because I understand somethings just don't work out, but I am just saying all of this since I have a nephew who doesn't know his dad. It is sad watching him grow up and him thinking that every black man, or a Wal-mart greeter even is his dad. And especially explaining to him, or lying to him about it because my sister doesn't want him to know his dad.

Another thing that really bothers me with that topic is the fact that most people are so afraid to get married because that word MONEY comes up, and their main focus turns to "What if we get a divorce?"...look at all the time, money, and effort we'll have to go through. It's like love is love, you be with eachother to be with eachother, to love one another, not to worry about something that shouldn't even happen to begin with especially if you love one another, divorce shouldn't come up, but now days it's either don't get married or get divorced. And it scares me because being married and having that huge wedding is what I loved, and always dreamed about.

Just scares me to death because I look back and look at what I was raised looking at and love was everything. Love was going to war, sending letters everywhere, getting married young, doing everything and anything with one another, and still being together and sharing that same love/bond that every single married couple should. The years basically add up and they're still the same happy ones that they were to begin with, if not better. But I suppose times have changed, so I guess that leaves people to change. Just wish you'd see more people getting married, being in love, and having that family that all kids and people in general deserve. Not a single parent having to take on the big tasks behind being that parent, even though having a child is a blessing to most. I give alot of credit for the single moms especially, they deserve it all.

Just makes me ponder alot of stuff that has changed from my grandparents time, to my parents time, to now me and my friends, the most recent time. How time and money has taken over everything now vs. how it was then.

But, I guess I will get over it someday, and who knows maybe I will be the first within my siblings to get married since my brother is 34 and isn't yet, and same with my sister who is 31. It is a "little girl's dream".... to have that perfect wedding, and her perfect "Ken" doll.

Essay ideas

I have been trying to come up with ideas or essays, and I have come up with this. Why do people like comidians that are loud and obnoxiouse, and thats their only bit. They only yell and scream and make goofy assed noises but are basicly talking about the same things a normal person would discuss in daily life. I believe that this could become an essay by talking about the reasons go to comidians and discuss why people would like an act like that.

Topic Ideas

So I am trying to think of something that has happened that has caught my eye to write about as a possible essay and there is one thing I can think of how people park there cars. Everyday I come to school and think that there is an open spot, so as I attempt to go into the parking spot I realize that one of the cars are crooked. One day I had gotten some lunch and was eating it in my car before class and I was watching people drive by and had noticed that there was this one spot that everyone taped on the brakes for and then realized that it was not a spot that it was the bullivard. Well shortly after a few cars had passed someone drove in and parked in that spot. Yes, I know that it is winter and you can not always see the yellow lines but I think everyone should have enough curtisy to part straight. I think that this could turn into an essay just on opinions and I think that there are alot of people who would agree.

Essay Tpoics

I recently had a run in with the Flu today. Its been a while since I had it, but I still remember how to make it less painful. You first need to start out with a hot bath, even though some people say it makes it worst. It sometimes helps if its a certain kind of Flu, and if you start feeling worse then what you did before get out fast.
You will also need to get some pop such as Pepsi, Sprite, or 7 Up to help your stomach relax a bit. What the pop does is that once it looses its fizz it becomes something like stomach tonic that eases the pain. What you should normally do is stay in a ball postion for a couple of hours so that you can shape your stomach to keep the pain in check. However this is not a sure fire way to ease the pain, but it does for a short period of time. Then the pain comes back hard if you leave the position too early, so I reccomend staying in the position till you start to fill pain again.
There really isn't any sure fire way to get rid of the Flu, but you can prevent from getting it by: washing your hands after every bathroom break; eat a well balanced diet and try to stay away from the junk food; last is to always make sure that your not next to someone who does have it.
I know this topic is gross and no one wants to hear it, but a few people might want to. So always pay attention to the smaller group of people.

Rude People

I work at Sunmart so I see tons of people throughout a day, working at the service counter or as a cashier. But everyday I work if someone comes through my line or up to the servive counter, I always say Hi, and 20% of people say something back. It just irrates me that people are so rude. I mean what is this world coming to? People can't even be nice to eachother without knowing one another? Normally when people don't say anything back they atleast smile, but I barely get that. I just don't see how you could take time out of your day to be nice to someone you don't even know, and then have them not even have enough common courtesy to be nice back.

Essay topic.

As i was playing my weekly monday night basketball last night, I started to realize my teammates' jumpshots. Their form was terrible, and their percentage of shots they made was not good! Today during class while trying to come up with a topic, the topic came to me quickly as i was thinking about basketball last night.
