Little Vs. Big...Dogs

Why Little dogs are better than Big Dogs

You can take them more places.

They are cuter.
Not as much crap to clean up.

They look good in clothes.

Don't cost as much.

They are more versitile.

More fun to play with.

Not as aggressive.

Look good with your outfit.

More loving.

I feel more celebrities have smaller dogs because they fit their lifestyles. So don't be hating on small dogs.

Dole.. Is a Great Invention

So Dole is amazing. Dole is a sugar free real fruit beverage, that comes in many varieties of flavors and colours. My favorite creation is called "Dole Sparklers". Which only have 100 calories per 500ml, they are Dole juice that is lightly carbonated so it has a nice bubbly taste. They are very refreshing on a nice hot summer day. Only $2.00 each. Go get one. Now. Im not kidding. Now. Do it now. I command you.

Cosmopolitan...

So I am really affraid for preteens these days because they are reading into magazines that are made or based on teens or young adults. Like cosmo... which is a girls best friend. It is fashion and media forward, with all the latest updates. But I just read an issue with sex tips? And I've heard quite a few of them have that too. But I really dont think thats appropriate for the age group the this magazine is aimed at... or the ages that could pick it up because "thats what the older kids are reading". If society would like teens to stop getting pregnant and stop dying and passing around diseases then stop advertising ways to make sex better.Celebrities need to Stop putting provocative lyrics in songs, Stop dancing so slutty, and Stop wearing clothes that reveal to much. There is truely nothing wrong with a wholesome image.

Wow Judgemental Much...

So today I was at the doctors office waiting for my friend and he had to get a whole bunch of shots and blood work done so we were going to be a while and I sat patently in the waiting room and they had three choices of magazines...

1.-- Sports Illustrated

2.-- Anime Comics

3.-- Pregnancy

...So im not interested in any of them but I picked up the Pregnancy one. So Im sitting here reading on how to get your baby to latch onto your nipple, as people are coming and going through the office. I didn't notice for a while but whenever I looked up people were staring and then I realized they were giving me the dirtiest looks ever. And of course im in a doctors office... So people see a young teenage girl reading a pregnancy magazine in the waiting room alone.

So I thought to myself do these strangers really think I'm the kinda teenager that would go out and get myself knocked up? And I was like wow haters... Then I rethought everything I thought. And Yea they would think that. Because the rate of teens having sex before marriage is so increasingly high yea most adults would get that assumption. But I really feel people shouldn't judge before they know the intire story. Wow I am such a hypocrit...

Literacy Test Results...

Recently there has been a lot of talk about the literacy test results from the grade tens this year... and it really bothers me because the media is blaming it on text messaging, msn and facebook?!!! Like really common guys!!! The news coverage states " A 3% drop in grades... due to the fact that teenages have their own language!" Ummm no we do not have our own god damn language, we have short forms. What is the point of typing huge words when you could just use the short form that everyone uses. They have been around for years. Plus no teen would actually use them on the test. To me all this is, is excuses. The government is blamming it on technology, instead of actually doing something about it. Personally I feel its their own fault, they are the ones who make the system this way. Teach us differently, use newer methods, get school started at a different time. Another thing is eliminate IEPs (Individual Education Plan) or give one to everybody. I can see that some people with actual learning dissablilities would need one or someone is has no motor skills but to people that are perfectly fine then that just bothers me. My best friend is one of the smartest people I know but she apparently needs an IEP to be able to succeed. She gets however long she wants to do assignments and tests all because she is a procrastinator and a perfectionist. But I think for everyone to get to their full potential then everyone should have IEPs. No wonder grades are so low.... Don't point fingers just do something about it.

Rainbow Six Vegas

So I bet everyone has pretty much played a video game before in their life right?! Its pretty impossible not too! Well I have a younger brother whos currently in grade nine and he is actually obessed with X-Box 360... and Tom Clancys "Rainbow Six Vegas". Its about a terrorist (whos name is Irena Morales, surrprisingly a woman) who has a bunch of mercenaries and they are taking over Las Vegas, and its up to Logan Keller and his crew to stop them, without tipping the balance of power in favor of the bad guys.

Doesn't sound all that amazing now does it... I can see the appeal to men... Hummmm explosions, weapons, combat? But truely... the game is pretty well made. The graphics are astounding, the music really plays to the mood because it is composed specifically for the game by the boston orchestra. I however do not see how someone could play it for hours on end, and then do it again the next day and for the rest of the month for that matter. My brother has a broken hand and still somehow manages being able to play.

You know when you pick up a great book but you just can't seem to put it down? Do we consider that an addiction? And if we don't, why do we not? Because really an addiction is when you cannot stop doing something. What effects can reading Harry Potter or Romantic Novels have on a person? Someone could actually believe its real right? But playing violent video games could lead to a violent lifesytle?! Is it wrong for our generation to like the stimulation of simulations and the possiblities that that simulation could be eventually become real? Does it actually lead to lower grades, and bad people... Or are these just excuses!?

Movie Review

The Usual Suspects

So we recently watched a film in media called "The Usual Suspects",which is a mystery, and was produced in 1995.

It is about 5 young gentle men that are arrested for hijacking a truck and when none of them can be convicted on lack of evidence they are released back to the world. Later on they find that they have each wronger the criminal mastermind "Kaiser Soeze", and are blackmailed into destroying a drug carrying ship, knowing that there is a possibility of death. With the boat blown up and all 27 criminals dead,there are only two survivors... Who is the culprit? Who really is Kaiser Soeze?

I give this movie one thumb up out of a possible two. I give it this rating because the story is impecably well written and each actor really plays their role well. I think the downside to this movie is that it really is a product of its time period. The ending was simple and very predictable; They make you believe that it's one character who is the criminal when really it was another character. Leaving me rather dissappointed at the ending. But up to that point it was pretty darn good. Drugs, killing, explosions, secret romance, underdog... It portrays a lot of themes instead of just one.

Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?!

I wasn't sure if it was just me but I really love this show... Its like millionair and somewhat like jeoprody. But the best part is... its fun, because you can sit at home and watch the show but actually have a blast trying to play. There is one contestant and 5 fifth graders, you choose one them, and you go through a series of questions (not multiple choice) and you have the option to peek, copy, or drop out and take the money. Its on every Thursday night at 8 on FOX. So Are you smarter than a fifth grader!?

I Blame The Market...

So by now you all know my topic for the documentary is "Preteens dress to inappropriate". And throughout all the interviews we've conducted and through my own opinion I've found that preteens are dressing the way they are because of what is on the market. Not because its cheap, not because their friends have influenced them but because of the market. I took the time to personally browse the stores at the mall and all there seemed to be was short skirts and shorts, clothing with provocative writing, low cut tops, and belly shirts. It is my beliefe that preteens are purchasing these articles of clothing because for there age group that is all there is to buy. I think if the markets start a revolution and implement more suitable clothing into their store it will largely decrease rape and the amount of children missing. Preteens will have a positive outlook on life, and have more self esteem.
