What is money? this question might seem simple but it’s really not. many definitions but there’s always mixed feelings on it. Money can be currency a form of modern time trading in a way. Then we get into the deeper meanings of money as in money is the root of all evil. Money is a form of an angel in disguise. but there’s a deeper meaning than even that. Trought time I have seen money make family turn on each other money turned into killings and people just can’t get enough. And I am no saint either I pursue money and wealth as my main goal over mostly everything in life. When doing my research, I discovered about the trade center and wall street trades and stock markets, the only way to describe it is madness and greed. sure, everyone likes money but that is what makes the passion for money into hate. money is needed to survive but the ways the rich the world leaders and governments set it up is like a rat race or a chicken fight its hysterical. billionaires whose great grand kids will be set for life benefit and will do anything to gain more money and screw the lower class in the process. the rich don’t pay taxes or get tax breaks to make more money when they have it, but why.  Is spending little of your mass money worth making it harder for others to get a chance to survive? Money is power but enough is enough. the greed will kill us all one day. I am interested in it to better myself and my desires. I feel like I have this clouded mindset and its unhealthy. I have my opinions on money, but it is needed to survive either way. But it is all curiosity in the end.

As a kid cars has always piqued my interest as well as cartoons those were my hobbies. I was surrounded by mechanics and people who love cars and that’s how my passion grew.  asking questions made my curiosity grow more as well as my love for cars.  With my uncle as a mechanic i have always asked questions and I tried to fix a car as a young kid as well as driving. I have been driving for years and working on cars that I cant see my future without being involved in some way.  the education system has not killed my love for cars I don’t think anything can. But it did not support it. in my schools they have always pushed the idea of a job in a big company and sitting behind a desk. talking about automotive things would lead to me being ignorant. I feel like it isn’t the focus of schools and trade school was a big option but schools portray the idea that trade school is for dumb people or dropouts when it’s not really that at all. becoming a mechanic and getting a hands-on jib it’s like it was never any of the cards when it came to careers but im sticking true to my passion. if there isn’t a rich millionaire hands on worker then I’m going to be the first. the idea of people pushing certain ideals on you never stuck to me. a topic i would like to know more about that has gotten my interest is the corruption of America. and how bad the system is manipulating us and our minds into killing each other etc.  and the corrupt companies and methods of people. for example, rigging benches to where homeless can’t sleep. companies build spikes on the floor so homeless people won’t sleep there, but they can build houses and affordable living. it isn’t fair at all and justice needs to be done. these rich business and billionaires benefit off the poor’s suffering and we see it as normal.

rereading 9/27

As I reread the passage it wasn’t much different, but I think it’s because I had already given up and trying to look deeper into it. I read and read. I will say that the areas of stories of procrastination and examples of it stood out more than before I didn’t see it as the author just talking at that point.  I myself procrastinated just to read it and write so I can relate to the examples of procrastination.  and looking back at the reading I feel as if the experiment of procrastination is more appealing to read.  when I planned to reread, I would look at things more carefully and I did. Didn’t find much but the statistics and interest in the experiments is what I found more appealing to read. I can see myself doing an experiment like that for whichever reason. The passage isn’t something I would read on my own but after rereading it isn’t that bad after all.
