So tell me what you want to hear, we'll take it back through all those years, sick of all the insincere, i'm gonna give all my secrets away.

So, that's the first half of the chorus to a song called "Secrets" by OneRepublic, which I love. I think that the use of the wood instruments, like the violin and cello make the song so much catchier. It was also the "theme" for the movie "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" with Nicholas Cage. I saw that the other day with my wonderful boyfriend, and my friend Winter and her wonderful boyfriend, who is my new official chauffeur for all times after 9 PM, but only because he's such a good sport about it. But when we went to see the movie, we stayed through the ending credits and what song comes on? Alpha Rev's "Phoenix Burn." That's right-I'm amazing. I mentioned that song on here, what? Last year? Exactly. I have undeniable proof from my faithful readers (if there even are any).

So today, I'm going to talk about the oil spill, like EVERYONE ELSE, but I'm going to give you straight up facts.

The reason that they can't fix it yet, is because it's underwater at a level where no scuba diver can get down there, and even if a scuba diver could go that deep, it's dangerous for a plethora of reasons, one of which being the oil itself is flammable, and there are underwater heat pockets at that depth. They also don't have a way of fixing it in general. They can't turn off the oil flow, because it's the off switch that's broken. ANOTHER MYTH- The oil spill has NOT affected the weather of the eastern seaboard AT ALL, so if anyone says that the oil spill is affecting the weather-it's not. Please also note that this is a MAN MADE ISSUE, but it's not from the White House. While they have burned off MUCH of the top level of oil, it's too deep, and there are MILLIONS OF GALLONS of oil at this point, because 26, 543 gallons (plus or minus a few hundred gallons) of oil are being poured into the gulf daily.

Please remember those facts the next time you go to bash the government's way of handling the gulf coast.

Also, the music. If you wanna look at my tumblr too, it's amusicfanatic.tumblr.com.
