Last year my school district passed a ruling to ban all junk food from schools, including High school. Luckily I graduated just in time. They got rid of all the soda's and instead replaced them with juice drinks, most of which contain 1% real fruit juice and more sugar than soda. They took out the cookies, candies, pizza,chips and what's left? pretzels, fatty cheesy ham sandwichs, and fruit that looks unfresh and barely ediable. All this to try and stop obesity.  Read More »

I recently read an article in TeenVogue about parent

s who dont act like parents. They are the ones who don't care what their children do, buy them alchol and cigs, and go out partying with them.

 It is happening more and more. Parents who would rather be your friends than be your parent looking out for your best interests.  In the article the interviewee's explain that they don't especially like it. They have fun partying with there moms, but at the end of the day they want a parent.  Read More »

Arrested Development was such a great show. The cast was good, the plot was hilarious, and the writing was excellent. It was one of the best shows I’ve seen in a long time. It awards, but no one watched it. So they canceled it.

Everwood is one of my favorite shows. It had such a good plot. I’d laugh one episode, cry another. I felt like I really knew the characters. The main actor won an Emmy, but again it got canceled.  Read More »

I usually shop at stores like Forever 21, Wetseal, Target, and sometimes J.Crew.  When I shop at the stores, a “sales associate” begrudgingly says hi before they disappear.  I try to find someone to open a dressing room ( Why lock them?) and no one is around. So I walk around the store until I find all the associates talking in a back corner. Lovely. So I try it on, deciding to buy it. Walking over to the sales counter, I stop in my tracks. The line is atleast 10 minutes long. I wait and wait, trying to figure out what in the world could be taking so long. Usually it is an associate going extra slow, they don’t know what they are doing, or only one of them is ringing up and the others are not helping.  Read More »

Myspace is so huge now everyone knows about it. I mean everyone. I dont know if people realize it or not, but your parents know about it and may even check it, the police (for high schoolers, i dont know about everyone else) have pseudo named myspaces and they check other peoples. so that if you brag about doing something stupid like vandalise the school or one of your friends writes a comment to you about it, they could find out.  Read More »

I used to be a myspace addict. For a long time I refused to get one. I thought it was stupid how addicted everyone was to it. Then one night I broke down and got one. from then on i was hooked. I obsessed over how many buddies I had, what pictures I put up, if what I wrote on my page was cool and if it gave people the correct picture of me. My bff would come over and we'd look at other people's myspaces for hours and leave comments, switching back and forth between hers and mine. Looking back it is embarressing how into it we were. After having one for a while, the magic starts to wear off. All those emails from porno girls who want to 'party wwith me'. Instead of getting excited about someone wanting to be my buddy it was weird that I didnt know them, when strangers told me I was pretty it got even creepier. then I started getting emails from this guy. a couple years older than me and in college! well how sophisticated( i was in hs) so i wrote him back. and we talked for a while and then one day i look at his page and his default picture was his face photo shopped onto a spider. It was the weirdest thing. Who does that? A spider. So I stopped talking to someone who is that weird and just decided to delete my myspace. I was just over it. It was getting too creepy and people were using it to feel good about themselves. It was just too online chatroom for me.  

I just read, on cnn.com I might add, that my school OCC decided to not recognize the pledge of allegiance.

COSTA MESA, California (AP) -- Student leaders at a community college voted to drop the Pledge of Allegiance after a tense meeting in which one flag-waving pledge supporter berated them as anti-American radicals.

Orange Coast College's student trustees voted Wednesday not to recognize the pledge, with three of the five board members saying it should be dropped from their meetings.  Read More »

It is crazy how much the world follows celebrities. I'll admit, I'll watch E News sometimes, but I dont want to know the intimate details of Brad and Angie's life and I dont want to look at pictures of Hilary duff shopping at the super market. Thats just too far. They have a right too some privacy, although I do understand the whole being in the public eye consequences.

People are making million off of getting that perfect shot or the first picture of a celeb baby, because everyone will rush out and buy the Ok and Us magazines with the pictures in it. I think that we should...boycott, stop buying, save our money for more worthwhile things (like boozes and prostitutes. haha) and not support the 'gossip rags'. I'm even going to stop watching the E channel all together.. maybe. well Im going to seriously cut back.
