My Biggest Worries (volume 1)

     Worrying is definitely something that I am familiar with. This week, Im  focused 1. on how clean my teeth are, the duration of time they stay clean in between brushings, the health of my gums and the cleanliness of my tongue. 2. Nicknames for my son, Gabriel, and what kind of music he may want to listen to after he is born. 3. What I am going to get everyone for Christmas, and wether or not they will enjoy the gift. 4.What color I am going to dye my hair this weekend, and how that color will impact my life forever. 5. When my boyfriend and I will speak again and how that conversation really will impact my life forever.
     So, the biggest of those top 5 worries this week is number 5. I have to tell my best friend, and the father of my child (the same person) that he cannot be a part of my life or his sons if his drug use continues. Thats a pretty big one, however I have confidence in him that he will want to be sober for himself and his life. Number 2 on the list is number 2. I really cant think of any nicknames for Gabriel, or, at least not any except "gabe" that are cute. And im pretty sure that he is going to appreciate and be listening to One Thing by Finger elleven, a song that was written just for him (the song is about him). E.S.T. by white lies, Unfinished business by White lies, and Right Here by Staind <3  Number 3 on my list is number three. Im really concerned that the gifts that I give people will seem undesireable to them. Number 4 on my list is number 4 I have decided on red lo lites and white hilights. Finally the thing that I am least concerned with, but is still ledgit enough to make it onto my top 5 is my orral health. I take my toothbrush and toothpaste everywhere I go. I am currently seeing a medical professional for theese worries :p

simulation

     When I was playing the game "Climate Challenge" on Globalorias "playing to learn" section, I found myself playing it over and over until I got the result I wanted. In the game, the player is the president of the united nations and He or She must save the planet from killing its self with co2 emissions. While trying to maintain a low level of co2 emissions, the player must also make sure there is enough water, electricity, food, and money to continue life on earth. This game, in the " Simulation" genre inspires me to want to learn more about it.
