The World in 2054

In 40 years, I think it'll most of the trees, plants, and animals will be gone because of global warming and pollution and all of that other stuff that's messing up the world. So to make up for the lack of oxygen that the trees provide us, Apple inc. will create a mini laptop that produces breathable air. And to make up for the fact that all the animals will be gone, mechanical pets and farm animals and such will be invented.

All the roads will disappear, and in their place people will build tracks above all the buildings that go through the whole world. To get your cars up to them, a giant elevator will be installed outside of each persons home for their car, and so that car accidents stop happening your car will attach itself to the track when it gets on it.

I also think that there won't be such a thing as "bad weather" because a really smart scientist will discover a chemical or create a machine that enables you to control it. And houses, apartments, and condos will rebuild themselves depending on the needs of the person who lives in them. So if say you move into a new house, but the bathroom is to small and it needs another bedroom, it will just automatically appear as soon as you think of it.

Ok, so maybe a lot of this stuff is unlikely to happen for a very long time, if ever, but it's still kind of cool to think about.

My Thoughts On Current Crimes on the Radio:
I keep hearing these stories on the radio of people who attack schools, commit murder, or attempt some other crime that's utterly horrible. These people who do these things are usually sent to jail, and sometimes executed, but sometimes they're set free from jail after a long time. But even if they were set free from jail, their lives would be horrible with the knowledge that they committed such a crime. I just don't understand why people would do things like that. I had a friend a long time ago who was murdered by a man like that, and it will never make sense to me why people would do something like that and be able to live with themselves. I mean, sure, some people are not in their right mind, they might be so crazy that they barely have control of their actions. But what about the other people, the ones who DO have control of their actions? What's their excuse, their motivation? What could be the reason for committing murder? Was it the way they were raised, or some weird grudge against their victim? Or something else? Fear? I don't know. As I've said, it'll never make sense to me. But it can't be undone, and it makes me....so angry that some man who I don't know could kill a young girl, my friend,  and yet he would be the one who was still living and she would not. It isn't like murdering someone proves some point, and it's obviously not some sick joke I hope, so I'm completely at a loss as to why someone, anyone, would do something so......horrible.

Hi, My Name Is...

Hi, my name is Morgan. I enjoy spending my time hiking, biking, doing yoga, reading, and writing. I would like to spend my time traveling around the world, but I'll have to work up to that. I listen to Vampire Weekend, Ingrid Michealson, Sara Bareilles, and The Civil Wars when I write and do my homework. I am planning on adopting a dog this month, he's a poodle named Simon. I really like dogs, much better than cats; obviously I'm a dog person. I would especially like a dog that I can take hiking with me, so I'm not alone in the woods. :) This summer I'm starting to train to hike the Appalachian Trail, even though I'm not hiking it until the year after I graduate from college. So I still have about 6 years, but it's better to be prepared then to not be prepared and quit halfway through. I have two younger sisters and one older brother, so I have a pretty large family and I have to help watch my little sisters all the time. I also like to go shopping, (and no, I'm not ashamed.) My favorite stores are Vintage Bliss and Sweet Elizabeth Jane.
