$ Makes the World Go 'Round

The world is so driven by money, it's ridiculous. It's really the ultimate divider and polarizing element in people's lives. I enjoy having it as much as the next person, but sometimes I wish it didn't play such a huge role in everything we do.

I'm about to fill up with gas, and I'm guessing the total will be in the ballpark of $38. It's creeping towards 3 bones a gallon--and will continue to rise all summer! The worst part is there's nothing you or I can really do about it. I fill up like once a week, and it seems to get worse everytime.

They say "Money can't buy happiness"...and my rebuttal is "No, but it sure can rent a good time." That said, time to go write a $145 check and sign my life away to Uncle Sam.
