Lucky for us, people actually get out of bed and go do things during the day. The horrible reality that we live in doesn’t seem to keep anyone down. In fact, even the most depressed, self loathing bastard gets out of their soiled bed to enjoy the random events society creates.
We know, just like everyone else, that this takes a lot of effort, and if there was only some way to take part without having to get out of bed, it might be the better way to go. That’s why the fine slave labor of CricketSoda.com works hard under the iron fist of a leather whip to bring you all the latest’s affairs and events, along with commentary on the world around us.

Right down the street from our house is a little Shell gas station that I frequent. We live just far enough away from anything else that it is a pain to drive into town and we avoid it if we can. The station is all about convenience and doing as little as possible to get the drink you need so badly.

I remember, not to long ago, that a revolution was in the making. It seemed like that is all anyone could talk about. The time had come to make drastic changes to the way we live life, and the future would be bright because of it. Our apathy had worn off, and we had taken charge of our destiny. We were tired of being told that we were free, while we were so thirsty for a sip of pure freedom.

I wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving this year. Recently, times have been a little hard and I don’t get to eat as much as I should, and I am looking forward to eating as much as I possibly can without getting sick. I feel like it is wrong though if you do all this thanking and don’t even realize what you are truly being thankful for.

In my world the customer is always right, but it is all just an act to keep my perfect business rating. Especially in the Freelance marketplace, where the person best at selling themselves always seems to win even if they have no idea what they are doing. The man keeps me down like this, even though I am doing something I enjoy (which is more than most people), just because that is the way our new rating based society works. One mark against your record could hurt business, keep you from buying a car, and make you flunk school. All my customers are just people, individuals doing business, trying to accomplish something, but they have been conditioned by society.

School has started, and with that many crazy times to be had by all. This year though, seems more uneventful, with little going on other than studying and flute playing. Many players and pimps, usually partying it up this time of year, blame the apathetic hippies who just want to sit around on the streets talking all types of crazy “shiznit.”

The new pill, known as Plan-B-Minus will also be available for girls 8 to 17 years old without the need for a doctor’s excuse.

If you suffer from insomnia, like most of us, tonight is your night for a grand spectacle. The moon above will turn from its normal bright colors to a dark red brown looking dot in the sky as the earth’s shadow crosses its path. So, be out in your PJ’s at about 3:00A.M. Bring a pair of binoculars or a telescope if you have one so you can get an up close look at an event that hasn’t happened in over seven years.

A really badass wind turbine that fits snug on top of tall buildings won the BSI Sustainability Design Awards 2007. All global warming terror aside, who isn’t for electricity to can pick out of the wind. With this new personal turbine design, worries about how ugly and loud conventional large wind turbines are could be a thing of the past.

So for some reason as I was lying in bed, sleeping far longer than I should, I began to wonder about demands from large groups of people. Everyone has demands on them from society, and I can see how some of these demands might conflict with getting into heaven. Does public demand have an effect on your heaven rating? Today, I am willing to sacrifice myself for science. CricketSoda has developed the ultimate test to determine true results.

So without further ado, I hereby present the first ever West Creek Herald Personals.
