Sadness

 This is sad. Sad in many ways. Why would such a young, cute little girl do this to herself. She must have hippie parents...
 And also anyone who took part in the production of this is destroying feminism. We need to convince young girls to be strong and not fall prey to all the cliche "girly girls"on the media.
 And this might just be me but never in all my years have I or will I ever feel the need to go to such a scary place: giant poodles that can eat you up, giant shoes that can stomp on you and break your bones, etc.

Excuses, Excuses, Excuses

Alright, I know I have not been a very good blogger lately and shame on me, but I have had my mind on three most important things : The Beatles, babies and Seattle. I have already covered The Beatles and really at the moment have had my fill with babies so  I will explain about Seattle. That will not be hard it only takes five words and 16 letters (including exclamations) :

I AM GOING TO SEATTLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
That tells you all you need to know until the 16 when I fly back. I fly alone!

                                              

THE BEATLES ROCK!!!!

I'm sorry but they do!  My latest obsession is The Beatles. And they are all over the place. While I've been listening away, I have noticed that they turn up in funny places. Like the other day my friend comes into school wearing a T with their logo and when I asked him why, he says because they rock! Then I learned that my uncle who I've known all my life has always been obsessed! When were you planning to tell me that? Also, a teller at the bank told us she loved the Beatles (especially George Harrison). Even walking around RI, I've seen countless Ts.  Its interesting that its been so long since they've last recorded, and they're still cool! Their music is the definition of timeless. Anyway, THE BEATLES ROCK!!!!


This is one of my favorites (although its impossible to choose one!)

Eat Hummus not Hummers

Eat hummus, not hummers! This phrase can be mistaken for a plea not to eat hummers, but I figured you guys are smart enough to figure out that you drive a car not eat it (but the above would still make sense because while hummers have no nutrients what so ever, hummus would be a much better alternative) . Anyway, hummers need a substantial amount of gas and aren't good for the earth, so don't buy them, eat hummus and read my blog!

yum yum!

The Hunger Games - Panem a Parellel to our world?

 What if your whole life you have lived in fear of a cruel Capitol? What if your whole life you have lived in fear of being chosen? What if the person you cared most about was the name they called out, shrill and clear, to go and compete against twenty-three others for a chance at life? What would you do?

 When Katniss Everdeen’s sister is chosen to be District 12’s tribute for the Hunger Games, Katniss knows that there is no choice but to volunteer. This choice means an almost certain death, it means becoming piece entertainment for the Capitol and it means being one of the Gamemaker’s 24 puppets. But in the end it means asking the question, do you have what it takes to win, and if you do, living with the memories?

 Katniss stands out among the characters that I admire because of the messages her story sends that are parallel with the faults of our own world. The first book is based on the legend of Theseus, but it as the series progresses, there are more and more hints suggesting the roman saying 'Bread & Circus'. Even the basic names in the story, like that of the country, ‘Panem’, and the ‘Hunger Games’ suggest the saying. What I think the writer is trying to communicate is that leaders nowadays are implying the same strategies with the media.

 The book also mentions a lot about the different classes. There are 12 struggling districts working for the comfort of the citizens of the Capitol. The people in the city sit back and relax while the children of the districts must fight for their lives, not even conscious about the reality of the deaths of 23 innocent lives, year after year.  It sounds like the way lower class citizens must sometimes risk their lives in the army while we sit back, wrapped up in our own lives.

 So finally, the reason that I admire Katniss is because she was vital in the end to the suffering of the Districts. She stopped the constant violence. So in a way she solved all of our problems with hunger and war. It’s refreshing to finally have someone, not necessarily in our world, solving all of the problems and creating a perfect world.
        

A Change of Heart

I said in one of my earlier posts that I didn't mind Justin Beiber's voice. I have now changed my mind.

I thought nothing could be worse than "Baby" but I was definitely wrong. Beiber has concocted an even more horrific song for the holidays. This is his "present" to us :

Political Opinions On Sesame Street

Today reporters go to Sesame Street to consult these political geniuses about important issues such as the election. Elmo said : " If Mrs. Obama votes for Mr. Obama then Elmo votes to!"





Apparently this is how Big Bird feels: " Well I'm tired. I think people should find their own jobs!" Although the count reminded him of how many people are unemployed:

Several weeks later tired reporters note the creativity of his counting material when he reached 5 million

Below, Big Bird expresses his displeasure.

When asked Rosita said: "Sacarte de mi reporteros locos!" This still leaves english speaking reporters stumped.

It took us exactly 5 weeks and a day to finish this report. ( most of the time spent on the Count). Rosita said: get away from me you crazy reporters!

Spoof Awesomeness

Ok I have been checking out Dream Feet spoofs and the most hilarious are these ones down here. I just love the combination!

The Crazy Class of the Cousins

So when I heard about what my cousin, L***s, has to do in gym class I was like "I have to write a post!" So L***s has to dance to the world's most embarrassing youtube dance instructions! This video I'm about to show you features: strange music, weird dance moves, and other things that you wouldn't be caught dead in public doing. I mean it could be fun for you if you weren't in front of peers, but unfortunately L***s was not.... (if you enjoy this try Double Dream Hands)

The Ranger's Apprentice

After I finished Warriors I was heartbroken! But then my cousin from In Caleb's Mind recommended The Ranger's Apprentice and now I recommend them to you!

Will has lived in the Castle Redmont's ward for years since birth when his father died a warrior and his mother died at his birth.Now when it's time to choose his craft all of the craftmasters reject him. All except Halt. Will has always felt nervous around Redmont's Ranger, and now he must be apprenticed to the shadowy warrior. What will he do?

For years Areluen has prospered, the evil Morgarath banished in the Ruins of Gorlan ( his former fief ). But now the former lord has called to the Kalkara, the most hideous beast known. And its up to the Ranger Corps to save Areluen before its to late!

My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic: What its doing to our world

It is my job to warn you. There is a dark storm coming so you must take cover ( especially if you are in your twenties and you are a guy).

These Annam devils are apparently brain washing men in there twenties and turning them into what we call bronies. We think Twilight Sparkle is the leader but no one is worse than Princess Celestria.

(WANTED)

IM WARNING YOU NOW

BEWARE MY LITTLE PONY FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC

Justin! Are You OK?

Are you OK Justin? What happened? Why have your looks suddenly changed??

Those were among the questions I try to say while I was cracking up on JB's appearance in the photo. I admit I'm not a Justin Beiber lover so the singer's digital looks was something funny. Maybe the creator agreed with my opinion and decided to make Beiber look like his opposite gender.

On the contrary, I really don't mind his singing, but it's Beiber's attitude that sets me off. If you've seen the Never Say Never music video you might have noticed in some of the scenes his superior attitude toward girls. And I quote: "Which one of you ladies wants to make out with me next?". Anyway, this is a spoof on Never Say Never:

Newport

I am so excited for the last stretch of my summer which will be spent in Newport. My grandmother May May owns her childhood house right on the beach. It's a colonial house, built in the year 1770.

Next Tuesday, my cousin who is author of '' Summer Trips 2011 '' is coming to Newport!! He and I are extremely close. I love them both!

One of the things I'm looking forward to is taking the Boys to some of Rhode Island's specialties, such as Dels or the Newport Creamery. I know it will be a fun trip. For the Boys I my our family both! I cant wait for my Newport trip 2o11!!!!

Florida Absences

I apologize for next weeks absence because I'm going to Florida. I cant wait!! We are visiting my grand parents in Orlando. Yes, I am going to Disney Land ( we're surprising my crazy little sister ).

We leave on the 17 at 4 o'clock. Our flight takes of at six and it takes us a little time to get to the air port. I wonder what kind of car we will rent. Last year we rented a prias.

I look forward to seeing my grandparents! I call them Gama and Joe. I call my mother's mom May May. Also, I am excited to swim! The pools there are like bath tubs. It takes no time to get used to!I hope I have fun

!

Larger Hills

Alright guess what? Another bike ride! 6 miles long also. So this one started out all down hill. But just when I thought this ride was gonna be cake the biggest hill I'd even biked up came into sight. After huffing and puffing up the mountain, I made my way up the top.

Luckily as is got hotter I ran through a puddle, splashing me with its coolness. From there on it was downhill for my dad and I. We cant wait for our next ride.



these are just random hills

Kittylicious

My good friends Kittylicous has just started a blog! Even though she is a great writer and I'm sure she is doing a a great job she has very few readers. Her address is kittilicousrock.bogspot.com .

Visit her blog as soon as you can (but don't forget about according to cate! )!

this cat looks like her cat "boo boo"

Fishers Island part 2

I'm home! Fishers was excellent and I had so much fun. I went to 3 beaches and a lake! The beach Isabella was my favorite!

The others were Chocomount , and Doc ( baby ) beach.


I enjoyed the lake because I had never swam in one before.

Kittylicous and I were also were allowed some independence. We got to go to the opening night of Rodrick Rules on out own. We also got to walk into town alone!

Even though I'll miss Fishers in till next year, I'm glad I'm home to sweet WI FI land!

Kitty Bath, Curio and Ashe

So I walk into my friend's bathroom and of all the random things in the world! I look a her sink and there is a ruler tied on it! " Kate ? Why is there a ruler tied onto your sink ? "

Things you should know about Kate are that she LOVES cats. She has two of them. Curio, a 17 pound black and white cat who is named for his curious personality, and Ashe, a rare tortoiseshell male who is a bit timid.

"Oh, Ashe takes baths and wastes water so we put the ruler on to prevent it". Curio came up from behind me and began sniffing my feet like he always does and Ashe just looked innocently at me

Fishers Island part 1

I apologize if i have a bit of a 4 day absence, but at least I'm blogging now! Anyway, during that absence I will be vacationing in Fisher's Island. I depart from the main land at 3:30 today.

Fisher's is a lovely little island, mainly for vacationers. Not many people live there regarding the size, but the beaches and hikes are great activities for tourists. Another reason of the shortage of year round population is because of the WI FI. You can only access Internet at the library.

I will be vacationing there with my good friend, Kittylicous, who has a house there for the summer time. I cant wait!
