Prom. Afterwards, many people have different things to say. “Dancing was so much fun!” “My date couldn’t dance.” “My feet have diagonal blisters spanning the diameter of my ankle that are bleeding profusely from my overpriced shoes that I bought and wore in the limo to prom but then I unceremoniously chucked into the corner [...]

Several people are confused about what The Nearby Future is about. “I was confused,” one reader told me before I karate chopped him in the face. “What is this site all about?” Someone else asked before I drop-kicked them over three and a half continents. Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to our website. [...]

Narcolepsy is one of those conditions that makes me grateful for my ability to stay awake during the day. It also can be unintentionally humorous and hard to spell. 1 in every 2000 Americans experience this, and despite how random it may be, it is very serious. Other symptoms may include insomnia, sleep paralysis and [...]

Rika’s other site, Pinky Miranda Productions, has recently been updated with a new article. “I know, I know, I haven’t been posting regularly. That’s because I’m writing a novel in 100 days, and I’ve been focusing on my writing recently. (oh, you expected some standard excuse that all bloggers give? Psh, I think you forget [...]

Writers can be lazy too, right? Well that’s exactly what I’m being right now. I’m in the middle of writing our guide to the end of the world which should be out as soon as I can find an interesting opening sentence, which can be translated as Calister-is-procrastinating again. What is the guide that I [...]

This is my amazing update on the world- otherwise translated as some interesting thoughts about the world by moi. There’s a lot of devastating news, and I think that it should be discussed a little more optimistically! On the topic of being optimistic, we’ve been a little too calm on the subject of global warming. [...]

What fun is it to predict the world’s impending demise? I can’t see the joy of telling people that the world will collapse in ten years when oil becomes too expensive. A professor from the University of Arizona recently published an article in The Arizona Republic about how civilization will unravel because of the current oil crisis, and I have some questions for him.

Unless the Hummer and large SUV owners have been living under a rock, the following facts are known by them:
Hummers and large, heavy, SUVs are expensive
A 2004 Hummer H2 SUV has 9.6 mpg compared to a Honda, who’s miles per gallon ranges from 20-50 mpg. So for sure all of the SUV and Hummer owners know that they’re paying more for the gas prices then other car owners.
The emissions from cars contributes to global warming, and by simply switching from a fifteen mpg car to a 30mpg, you are cutting your car’s CO2 emissions in half.

If you don’t know what global warming is, then you have either been living under a rock or cannot read. Global. Warming. Our Earth getting hotter. Ice melting. Lots of ice. The world floods, or dries up because of lack of rain, and then we can say good-bye to many farms and food supplies out there.

So Rika has decided that in order to keep the “quality high” of our posts, we’re posting every OTHER day instead of EVERY day. (We don’t want to exhaust all our topics, do we?) Expect the next post on the 15th and expect it to continue this way, our only regular post the philosophies on [...]

Your mission, if you chose to accept it, is to save the human race from crazed environmentalists and politicians who don’t know what they’re doing, and to do it by way of knowledge and action. If you accept this challenge, go to The Wells Mission to receive more information and start your mission.
For your safety, this message will not self destruct.

You may think you know what the most advance societies of all time are. Us Americans are thinking, “Oh! The iphone! Our civilization must be the most advanced,” and as each new invention comes out we think the same thing. But these inventions aren’t something as great as discovering, say, the first democracy. Lets say [...]

Electronic books are a great thing- don’t listen to Rika. Ebook readers are so much more convenient then regular books. Paper can be destroyed easily- I mean, hey! Light a match around a book and there goes your book! (Not that the Sony Reader is fire proof or anything) But over time paper gets torn, [...]
