Welcome to my blog!

I am an English major. They say practice makes perfect so here I am practicing my writing in hopes that some day I will be perfect.
This is the world according to me.
I hope you enjoy my insight as much as I enjoy writing it.

What is coming of our society?

We are becoming so lazy. People wonder why Americans are so overweight. How is it that a majority of our citizens are overweight when so many people belong to the gyms? There a numerous types of diets that people can follow. Weight Watchers, NutriSystem, Atkins, etc. Weight Watchers does work. I used it myself a few years back. I get bored after awhile with having to count points meal after meal, day after day, week after week, month after month. I need to though. I need to monitor every little thing that enters my body. I need to be conscience of everything I consume. It is a little annoying but it is my reality. Also, we barely have to get up to do anything. We can drive everywhere. Sometimes we do not even have to drive to do the things we need to get done. You can order pizza by simply powering up the computer and clicking the mouse a few times. It can be delivered so all you have to do is have the money ready and open the door for the delivery guy or girl. With technology progressing as fast as it is, we may not even have to do that much in a certain amount of years. Can you imagine pizza delivery guys being replaced with machines? It sounds a little bit off but it could happen. Remember that movie Wally? It is not one of my favorites because, for a cartoon, it got a little too political. However it makes a very good point. At the end of the movie you see bigger people sitting in these chairs and everything in their lives is handled by a remote control. As nice as it would be I am not looking forward to that day. I like going on walks. I like riding my bike. If I order pizza I am going to go pick it up. If (and yes it is a long shot) delivery guys and fast food workers are replaced by machines there go a lot of job opportunites out the window. I have worked in fast food for almost six years. I hate it. It is getting me through college though. It is a job and in this dwindling economy I cannot complain.
