Ripar the Alien
In the vast darkness of space, a solitary ship carries a lone alien named Ripar from the distant planet Targof, billions of light-years away. The Targofians, shapeshifters by nature, dispatch scouts to explore other planets, assessing their inhabitants for potential trade partnerships or determining if they should be avoided due to hostility. Additionally, they seek planets with compatible soil, water, and plant life to potentially rejuvenate Targof. Ripar ponders whether his home world once resembled this newfound planet before devastating storms rendered its surface uninhabitable. Now, people reside underground as the surface is uninhabitable for most creatures. This occurred over a millennium ago, and they have been searching for a similar planet ever since. As a shapeshifter, Ripar can easily assume the form of other beings to discreetly investigate planets and their inhabitants. Although Targofiens are amicable, they understand that space and some of its inhabitants can be hostile, and they are prepared to defend themselves if necessary.

Why the Stock Market is Evil
The stock exchange used to be a good idea. Anyone could buy stock in a company, hence owning a piece of that company. Now though you have companies that will do whatever it takes to raise the price of their stock and a lot of these things are not consumer-friendly.

The Targofians go to the Zoo!
A little over a year after Ripar and friends left to go back home they headed back to Earth. Things were looking up on Targof, the dirt and water samples Vocar took started them on revitalizing their planet. The seeds they got helped them plant beautiful new crops and the recipes they brought back made some mind-blowing food that their people loved. Ripar was missing his Earth friends. He was an orphan so he really didn't have family on Targof. He had good friends, but the closeness and warmth he found in his human friends was special.

The American Class System
Over the months I’ve written a lot about our life and the issues the poor have that the rich just don’t. I wrote about how we might in the future do without money. I also wrote about what I want to expand on and that’s greed. I want to try and explain why the republican party and the rich think the way they do.

My Killer Halloween Playlist
One of my favorite times of the year! Halloween is the time to be with the people you love, dress up and act a little crazy. I have a Halloween playlist that I listen to every year and I add songs to it if I hear one that deserves to be on it.

How We're Being Failed (part 2)
In part one I talked about how law enforcement is failing us, now I’ll talk about how our government is failing us. There are so many things in our government that is broken, and this has been getting worse for decades. The question is how? How are the people who are supposed to look after our country, who are supposed to make laws to help everyone, not just the wealthy, have the heart (or lack of) to let things get so bad and unfair for the working class?

How we are being failed (part 1)
This morning I woke up and put on the news, and was saddened by what I saw. I saw a Senate committee with 4 women talking about how they were abused by their doctor. These women were pro gymnasts (Simone Biles, McKayla Maroney, Aly Raisman, and Maggie Nichols) their abuser (Larry Nassar) was their doctor. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing, that they were brave enough to speak up but the FBI did nothing for a year, letting this doctor hurt more women. How could have this happened? This is a travesty that in this day that anyone could go through something so awful, step up and nothing happens for a year. These women are in the spotlight which is why we’re hearing about this now, but so many people who don’t have the popularity to take this to the Senate are still out there, feeling their voices aren’t heard. This should never happen.
