Apartments and Pets

Personally, I feel that apartment complexes are charging people far too much to have a pet in their apartment. While the complexes are looking out for the their property (thinking we cats and dogs will tear up the place) and their tenants (I agree, dogs are loud), there is little concern for the animals that live on the street and in shelters. I don't think it is unreasonable for complexes to charge some sum, but the costs of housing a pet in most complexes discourage people from getting pets (or at least being honest that they have five cats in their apartment!). That equates to more cats and dogs suffering injuries, abuse, illness, and death. I don't really expect complexes to stop charging exorbitant amounts to house a pet, but my proposal is that apartment complexes should donate a portion of that amount to animal shelters and hospitals, or encourage initiatives that support spaying/neutering so less cats and dogs need will need an apartment in the first place!

Blackle

I prefer the color red to any other color, but while checking my email, I got a link to blackle. Blackle is a Google search engine that's screen is all black (minus the words, of course). The idea is to encourage people to save energy. The black screen requires less energy than the standard white screen. While maybe a search might not save that much energy, everytime you use the site you will be reminded off the importance of saving energy in general. I'm all for saving energy... I use mine when the dog is trying to sleep! So make blackle (http://www.blackle.com/) your home page or at least your main search engine. Thanks!

Something To Do

I'm starting this blog so that I can get a few ideas out there. I did a blog for charity and I had a few readers, so I thought I might give this a chance. I need a new hobby anyways. My people are complaining that I'm not letting them sleep, so I figure I can post at whatever hour I want and leave them alone. They'll just be sleeping while my genius grows.
I live in Indianapolis but my blog editor lives in Los Angeles. That's right... blog editor... in Los Angeles. I'm going places, I know some people. But I make sure to stay away from the Hollywood types - I don't want to be shallow or ruin my image (or my hair!).
So, when I feel like it, I'll update this blog... when I don't, I won't.
