Things I Hate

1. Racism/Discrimination- Life is too short to be a dumb ass. Get over yourself and be realistic, people are not all the same and will never will be.
2. Flip flops- Dirt+sweaty feet+flip flops=black footprints in the flip flops, not a good situation.
3. The Royal Wedding- If it was anyone else getting married, nobody would care. You have no political power or any use to England. I don't know why people are so amused by this wedding.
4. Old Guys on Harley's- Gross, nuff said.
5. WKHS- We are in high school, please stop treating us like 5 year olds. Also, stop pulling the fire alarm for a senior prank. It's not funny, it's stupid and dangerous. If you're doing a senior prank, make it creative.
6. Justin Bieber- You look like a 12 year old and you sin about love and your hair is not attractive. Why are people so obsessed with him? Hell, I could get a crappy hair cut, use some autotune and be famous. Or that's what it seems like...
7. Candy- Nastayy and unhealthy, no benefit at all.
8. The Rainbow Parrot at Petland- I never really liked birds but my friend made me get the rainbow parrot to sit on my shoulder, it then decided that he liked my hoop earrings and he ripped it out of my ear.
9. Humidity- It ruins my hair, hurts my breathing, makes me sweat and irritates me. Its just not a good time.
10. Creepers- You make me stressed, you irritate me and the more you talk/text me, the more I want nothing to do with you. Please go away.

There are many more things that I hate, these are just a few.

Jamie Dimon

Jamie Dimon is  the current CEO and chairmen of JPMorgan Chase &Co. He also previously served as a Class A director of the Board of Directors of the New York Federal Reserve. He was in Time's most influential people in 2006, 2008, 2009 and 2011. He was in the list for several reasons. Dimon prevented his employees from giving in to the greed that a lot of bankers possessed while destroying their firms and ruining lives. In result, JPMorgan cause a lot less damage during the financial crisis. Other companies such as Countrywide, WaMu and AIG collapsed. I think Dimon was a really good person to put in the top 100. He is very smart and better than most bankers and I think that deserves some credit.

Amy Poehler

Amy Poehler is an American comedian, actress, voice actress, writer and producer. She was a cast members on NBC's Saturday Night Live. She has starred in movies such as Baby Mama, Horton Hears a Who! and many more. Time magazine chose her as one of the too 100 most influential people in 2010. They said this because she always comes out with something new and different. She is also a very kind and funny person to be around. Even though I love her work and think shes very talented, I don't really understand why she got this award. There are tons of people that have the qualities that Time described. In my opinion, there could have chose a better person.

Nintendo Wii moves toward retirement

So people are saying that the Wii, once a very cutting age gaming system, is going towards the Atari 2600 route. This really doesn't surprise me because this happens to all technology. Once the newest, best thing is out the next advanced version came out just months later. It amazes me how fast and how often things progress and advance. But it also makes me wonder, what is next? Because I always feel like they will run out of ideas and things will stop. But I know that is not true. Nintendo is said to be coming out with something new in 2012. This is good personally, I've always hated the Wii. I have the Xbox Kinect and it is amazing and way better. The only bad thing right now is that there are not that many games yet, but hopefully that will change soon. I wish I could keep up and advance as fast as technology does.

Easter Weekend 2011

This weekend I had Friday, Saturday and Sunday off. On Friday, my mom and I went to get her hair colored. My mom goes to this place in the ghetto that's really weird and unprofessional. The whole time the lady was doing my mom's hair, she was on the phone and the nail lady kept yelling at her boyfriend on the phone about her friend being on crack while she was doing someone's nails. The only thing nice about it is that only 2 people work in there. but it sounds like 15 cause they're so loud. I really don't know why she goes there when her old place only costs $10 more and it's way better. Then we went to Kohl's to get a T-shirt and a candle for my mom's girlfriend's easter gift. We ended up each getting a whole new outfit and shoes lol... Then we went to Kroger for 3 hours cause my mom is obsessed with coupons and takes forever     to go shopping. Then Saturday, I chilled the whole day then went to a surprise birthday at Hailey's house, which was really fun. Then on Sunday, my mom, her gf, my grandma and I went to Cracker Barrel. I got the prettiest salad evar(: Then we came home and we opened Easter baskets which always a good time. Then we had gross pie. Then my mom's gf and I colored eggs. So this weekend was gooood(:

Limitless

Over spring break I saw the movie Limitless.  I am absolutely in love with this movie. It is about a dad beat writer who is stuck on what to write next. He runs in to his ex brother in law who is a drug dealer. He gave him a drug call NZT. This drug allows you to 100% of your brain opposed to the fact that we only use 20%. The drug doesn't get you high, but makes everything clearer and sharper. It also allows you to do everything faster, better, quicker and smarter. Although the drug seems so great, the withdrawal is deadly and there is only a limited amount and everyone wants it. The main character (Bradley Cooper <3) has the rest of it. So he is constantly fighting off people that want to kill him for this drug. But he starts to take to much and black outs and forgets everything he has done. So yeah I highly recommend this movie! 5 stars!

Here is the trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3U9RsXeJ3w

Drug Smuggling

http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_CREATIVE_CONTRABAND?SITE=WBNSTV&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT

I never knew how complex drug smuggling could be until I read this article. Sending a coloring book to an inmate in prison with crayon-colored scribbling made from a paste containing drugs? That has to be admired to some degree. My favorite way was when someone opens a fruit, guts it, fills it with drugs and somehow conceals it to look like it's never been opened. It is just so interesting how airport and prison security progresses and advances, drug smuggling is 2 steps ahead of them. This just proves that people can get around anything when they really want to. When I hear about these ways of smuggling drugs it almost makes me ignore how illegal and wrong it is. And the people who are doing this have to be extremely smart and clever. Which also is makes me think about what would happen if these intelligent people put there skills to good use. I would seriously would want to meet one of these drug dealers and ask them how they do this and think of these outrageous ideas. This article is very interesting.

Religion in Schools and Government

I was looking at the school calendar and realized that we had Good Friday off. The calendar didn't say Good Friday on that day, but the Friday before Easter is coincidentally a day off every year. While Passover, an important Jewish religion, is just a few days before and school is in session. This I think is because that our country is Christian dominated. This reminded of even for Christian influences in public school in government. I thought back to elementary school when we recited the pledge of allegiance every morning. The line "One nation under God" is an obvious Christian influence. When you go to trial, you have to swear on the Bible too. I also began to think of people who protest against things such as gay marriage because of religion. Although it is not said that this is a reason I think it has impact on it. Although    we have separation of church an state, I really don't think it is. In my opinion, government and school should not have any religion opinions or influence at all. Because of the obvious fact that not everyone has the same religion or has a religion at all, so if religion is used it's just another thing that makes people not agree on things.

Spring Break 2011

This year for spring break I went to Los Angeles with my grandparents. It was really fun. I got there on Saturday at 3pm, that evening we went to see my great aunt at her assisted living place. It was the first time I met her so I didn't really know what to expect. She is kind of scary because she's 80 years old an yells at everyone. And it's even weirder cause she doesn't speak much English so I never know what shes saying and my grandpa has to translate. While I was there I went to Hollywood Blvd, went on a tour of the star's homes, went to Venice and Santa Monica beach, did alot of shopping, hung out with my family, went on a tour of NBC studios, went to Knott's Berry Amusement Park, went to Malibu and just relaxed. My favorite thing was going to Venice Beach. That beach is more of a people watching/shopping beach rather than a calm, relaxing beach. There were alot of skate parks there and it was cool to watch all of them skate. There were alot of cool, cheap shops too. There were about 7 places that sold "medical marijuana". In order to get it you have to be 18 and have a medical problem. But you could just go in there and say you have a migraine and they would give it to you, so it's not very hard to get. There were also alot of artists there selling cool stuff. My favorite thing was when they used palm leaves to weave into roses. But there were hobos, which was kind of depressing. But I'm really excited because I get to go there again this summer for a week and a half. California was definitely my favorite vacation(:
