http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Je0GvBafxCM []\/\/\/||||||||||Dont you think someone has too much time on there hands? Because back then people used to get stoned and watch movies. They remember a whole different planet thing they saw ; while under the influence. What happens is that it culmivates to the discovery of Pink Floyd dark side of the moon can synchronize to The Wizard Of Oz? And people accually believe it, even though it does kinda synchronize but what how for.
In this day and age you will be told : You have way too much time on your hands. Do people still get stoned or take acid to watch movies or tv shows? You dont hear about it much anymore. People can smuggle drugs into concerts, but the other thing. Maybe you dont hear about it much anymore because society has changed. Maybe because the good old fashioned video stores are not there, they went out of business? Something in society has changed.
People in there teens and 20s till stopping, used to get together-anywhere-just to get high. What great friends! They are not your friends, they are drug buddies. After the drugs are gone, growing up, or something else happens they are not there anymore.
Cool to get together at your house with understanding parents. To get together with friends somewhere else-sometimes to watch movies-or out in public to do drugs. Another group takes over, even if they step up police. But guess what; all those other nights, the cops were not there.
Funny how in the old days there were classic VHS videostores, midnight movies, and everybody had a common vision. Nobody wants to go to midnight movies. Watching videos alone in your home on the weekend shows you have no life? Marijuana is a social drug. But drugs are optional.
People watch the movie while high. People watch the tv while high, people just get high-sometimes alone, sometimes with friends. They can do other things, like crank calls, look at trippy youtube videos and leave comments, or other things to put there money towards.
Lights on or dimly lit room to live out fantasies; they get high with a bunch of friends late at night. Then before it gets too late (they may have been playing a tape or any recording) they call you on the phone. Resnable hour. This is not a crank call. There are different things to do; old school, in different combinations but nobody cares.
There are some people that are in there mid 30s but friends still act like they are 16 by crank calling you at 3 am. This one guy has a child that is being taken care of by the mother and step dad in another state. There are other things to spend your hard earned money on besides drugs. You and your friends can get into the car and go for a ride, crusing.
All in a room getting high in somebodys apartment.
Living on your own in your late teens early 20s in a perfect situation (rent was cheaper back then compared to now) and you have your friend, who is a roommate & you got a 2 bedroom apartment. Make plenty of money, your mind should be full of ideas, without drugs.
That has got to take an effect on your self, psyche, and mind. Receiving strange mail, having your own, but you dont take advantage of it. Your friend and roommate.
Here is something: why dont you do something kooky? The apartment is upstairs. You have a stairs, balcony, ledge, and windows. Depends on how it is created. How about if you are up do things on the patio that your imagination takes you. Others did it.
Maybe you can spend your money on something else besides drugs and beer. Like going to a midnight movie? How about a video rental ? watch tv? Go to the local colleges and see if they have any quirky film festivals? Look in the newspapers for free outdoor showing of movies. Have a bunch of friends come over to have fun without the drugs, because they are optional.
Funny thing about the drugs: nobody thinks or are ashamed. Because you only have 2 bedrooms, a couch, and whatelse??? People you have never seen before (your friend, not your roommate) come over , get high, stay up all hours of the night. By almost 12 pm the next morning, you hear a knock on the door. Or the doorbell rings. A misguided friend has come for some reason, and you can see that you were on the floor with a thin blanket over you. Other people are sleeping on the couch, elsewhere, but they are too sleepy to notice. Boy is the guy surprised.
But after they move out without telling you, they contact you and tell lies. They leave some damage behind. Stuff left behind. Who is gonna clean up the broken doorknob? Well here is one, some others rented the same apartmentthen disappeared!!!
So here is an idea: why dont you and your friends get on here, make up a different youtube account, watch all these videos, and leave as many comments as you want to? Have fun; drugs are optional. But think about all the things you would do if you were in the same situation? Your imaginations the limit! Drugs are optional

This is the VOA Special English Economics Report, from http://voaspecialenglish.com

The American housing collapse was a major cause of the recession. The housing market is showing new life after three years of falling prices and too much supply. But now there are worries that banks could face big losses next on business properties.

For example, one effect of a weak economy is less demand for office space. As a result, property owners earn less and charge less in rent. This puts pressure especially on owners who borrowed a lot of money.

Easy credit helped fuel an explosion of development. The market hit a high point in two thousand seven.

Now, late payments are growing. Almost three percent of commercial mortgages were reported at least ninety days late between April and June. That was double a year earlier.

One major lender lost more than a billion and a half dollars in the second quarter. Capmark Financial Group said it might seek bankruptcy protection from its creditors. Medium and small banks also face a growing risk.

Banks hold one and a half of the three and a half trillion dollars in debt that supports the commercial real estate market. Housing debt is much higher. Still, around two trillion dollars in commercial mortgages are expected to come due for payment within the next five years.

Commercial properties face two serious problems. One is falling prices — down by one-fourth since two thousand seven. The other is refinancing.

Most commercial real estate loans have terms of ten years or less. They often end with a large payment, a balloon payment, which owners usually refinance. But lower property values and tighter lending requirements mean a harder time getting new loans.

One way to make capital available for new loans is to sell mortgage-backed securities. But since last year there has been little activity in the seven hundred fifty billion dollar market for commercial mortgage securities.

The Federal Reserve recently extended into next year a loan program designed to get investors to buy more securities like these.

The United States is not alone. Commercial rents in Moscow, Hong Kong, Singapore and Mumbai have fallen thirty percent or more.

American housing sales, though, have improved in recent months, helped by lower prices and a tax credit for first-time buyers.

The S&P/Case-Shiller national index of home prices rose in April, May and June. That was the first three-month increase in three years.

And that’s the VOA Special English Economics Report.
