My Anti-Drug

I think what I have used to stay out of trouble or to calm me down at times has been sports and music. Sports has mainly been my anti-drug and by sports it really just means getting out and doing some exercise like shooting hoops, throwing the ball around, and running. I think exercise itself helps me feel relief and at times helps me think clear. Just getting my blood pumping is what you can call my fix. Of course not all the time I can just go out for a run or stuff like that so thats when I rely on music to calm me down. I like listening to my music and just dosing of on the beat, and the lyrics. I just in a way like letting the music take me and find a place for myself to think a place of my own. Thats basically what I look for, a place of my own for me to think and that is basically what I achieve in both of my anti-drugs.

An Inconvenient Truth

Before watching An Inconvenient Truth I had some knowledge of global warming, that of what causes it and that yes it is bad for the environment. I think Gore did a swell job of proving his point through his extended studies and statistical research. He made what I already knew a bit more clear and showed the consequences realistically speaking. I think he really exemplified the dangers of our human actions on our earth and how ignoring it will not help but speed up the process. I think he changed my perspective a bit on how serious the matter is, and now I really see it as something that should be taken action on. I think now that this problem is a huge one to overcome but the sooner we take action the more probability we have of overcoming it. I know that now there are various methods of helping the environment that businesses, schools, and even house owners are doing. I am aware that the public is a little more aware today of the problem but by passing on the movie, it can still get those unaware to see whats going on.
