sexy back vs Sexy Results

Sexy back vs Sexy Results: Okay so I'm sure every one's heard the Justin Timberlake song "Sexy Back" (admittedly not a terrible cut from him),and those of you who happen to actually be music literate have heard "Sexy Results" by Death From Above 1979 (If you haven't, you might as well stop reading right now, and not bother talking to me again). But here's the thing …and probably the reason JT's doesn't sound horrible to me … has anyone noticed how similar they are? Go listen …do it …right now! See what I mean? Maybe not exactly similar, but someone could mix them up. And do you know what this says to me? SOMEONE stole it! Maybe not the entire song, but definitely some of the music and kind of the words(okay, they're not alike, but vaguely similar, no?) so this got me thinking should people be making millions of dollars for stealing someone else's songs??

P!nk : "Stupid girls"

I'm kinda in love with this song! i find it extremely true and i really hate the way young girls idolize people who are famous/rich for not doing anthing what ever happened to the womens rights movement??? our ancestors fought for women to be able to be doctors lawyers anything that we want but now there's a breed of young girls that want to be a succesful person's trophy wife!! how ridiculous is that!!??
P!nk's music video- Stupid girls

Lucky break for Paris

So Paris Hilton who was supposed to serve 45 days in Century Regional Detention Center. However she actually only served 5 (FIVE FRIGGEN DAYS!!!???are you kidding me!!!???) due to an unexplained "medical condition" bull sh#t she just couldn't handle being away from alcohol and partying for 45 days (it turned ouy to be a rash), so now she's under house arrest for the rest of her sentence apparently she's having a huge party to all of her friends that she couldn't party with for 5 whole days

~this is the press release from Steve Whitmore, spokesperson for the LA County Sheriff's Department, explaining Paris Hilton's release from jail:

"After extensive consultation with Los Angeles County Medical Personnel, including doctors at the Century Regional Detention Facility, it has been determined that Paris Hilton will be reassigned to the Community-Based Alternatives to Custody: The CBAC Program.Ms. Hilton has been fitted with an electronic monitoring device and will serve the remained of her sentence confined to her home. She will now serve the full 45 day sentence. Ms. Hilton has been in custody for five days and therefore will be serving 40 days in the Electronic Monitoring Program under the supervision of the Los Angeles County Probation Department."

In jail Paris had do endure a full body cavity search, a prison shower, lots of solitary confinement, no sidekick, no boose, no drugs and she actually had to eat! -once again poor paris- (P.S. I love this blog... It's called Pink is the new blog ... check it out)

Heidi & Spencer... Engaged????

I love the show "The Hills" sooo much and on the season finally Heidi moved out of her apartment that she shared with her "best friend" Lauren, and into a new place with her sleazy boyfriend Spencer (after he kicked Heidi out of his car when she said "no" the first time) anyways apparently they're engaged! after seeing the show people got a real look inside Spencer's personality and veiwers found out how big of a jack-@$$ he really is (fun facts: spencer has actually been banned from most of the night clubs because noone likes him. Heidi also got a nose job and a boob job after she started to date Spencer.) anyways just thought you guys might like to know... if not don't read my blogs

Rosie O'Donnel Vs. the Veiw

Seeing that clip about Rosie O'Donnel the other week really upset me quite a bit. I cant believe that so many people are going up against her when clearly, she knows what shes talking about and she is a very smart, liberal woman. I hate that Elizabeth kept going on and on about how she likes facts, when clearly she was denying and ignoring every ligitmate fact that George Bush is not a good president, and their is no point to the war going on. although she kept saying that she liked facts, she did not actually present any ligitamate facts about why Bush or the war are positive things. I feel so bad for Rosie, when shes clearly right. I was also deeply offended by how the newscasters were going up against rosie, and of course being bias by only presenting a one-sided argument. the newscasters of course, all had the same conservative point of veiw, and of course all agreed with each other. the only person who didnt really have anything against rosies point of veiw was the female newscaster, but she didnt really seem to have a point of veiw at all. I found this weird, i couldnt help but wonder if she actually did agree with Rosie, but wasnt allowed to agree with her on air or in the public eye. Elizabeth was soon after invited to dine with the president which just seems ridiculous to me. Why would George Bush want her to dine with him, soley based on the fact that she agrees with his side of the argument ? All of those newscasters also supported bush, but im sure that he didnt invite all of them to dine with him. Maybe George Bush just wanted to further insure his support. I really feel like Elizabeth is just really niave and only wants to support the president cause its the good girl, all-american thing to do. I cant help but think that less people would be against Rosie O'Donnel if she wasn't a lesbian. their are alot of homaphobes out there, and maybe they just dont agree with her opinion because they dont agree with her lifestyle. It seems weird to me that its blown out of proportion. Lots of people, in fact most people, disagree with Bush, and some people agree with bush. but most people dont get freaked out on by the media, like Rosie did, and most people dont get invited to dine with the president, like Elizabeth did. what does this all mean ?

War: The Easiest Way To Get You

MmmHmm, so not really a huge fan of having to write this one, 'cause it makes me a little bit angry to think about how these people manage to control everything that we see, that leads to them controlling what we believe (oh yes, they do). So i guess the easiest place to see it is when we watch American News Stations (because our lovely Canada would never do such a thing ... maybe it's because we haven't been to war since ... 1940's I think? Or maybe it's because we happen to own all of two networks, and our people just watch Americn TV anyways)As most of you should know (unless you happen to be a hermit)the US has been at war for quite some time now. In order to justify this to the American people, the government used ... what else? THE MEDIA!! a shocking 80% of US citizens were against going to war before Colin Powell went to the UN to ask permission (which he didn't get, but decided to attack anyways), and during the week leading up to his visit, the US news stations aired countless interviews with retired generals and whatnot about the war, and whether or not they thought it was a good idea ... here's the thing ... many of the men who own these networks also have major shares in arms dealers or other industries that would benifit from war, so when they booked poeple to interview, all of them got people that would say the the war was a GOOD thing. So of course, everyone watched these, and most people changed their minds ... going into Iraq, there was something like a 90% approval rate (that changed in only one week!) NOT only that, but now that they're there, they continue to make the war look like a good thing. The army wont let any news cameras on missions that aren't peace keeping type missions, becasue they dont want to look bad. When Iraquis kill americans, they're "attacks from the insurgencies" or if they kill civilians, it's a "mass murder of their own", but American attacks are "operations" and when AMERICANS kill civilians, they're called "casualties". Alot of people don't see these things, but check out next time you watch the coverage of the war, and see what you can pick up on.

Bias Definition

Basically, bias is when some person/company (usually headed by some rich white man who makes more money than most African countries) puts a swing on the way they present news or information to their public. It usually reflects the company/person's own personal views/morals/ethics, even though their audience may not agree. Media bias is sometimes really hard to see, especially if you're not looking for it.
Bias: to cause partiality or favoritism. - From "The Randomhouse Dictionary of the English Language, Second Edition" (that giant one in the library that no one uses ... I bet that if you go and look right now, it's still open to that page ... GO CHECK!!)

Army print in fashion.

Alot of fashions these days include army print clothing, everything from shirts, to pants, to purses. theirs even the new fad of army styled hats. although these can sometimes look really cool, at the same time ive recently been wondering if its a bit disrespectful. lots of teenagers these days will just be wearing some army hat to try to look cool. what kind of a statement is this clothing making though ? is it disrespect ? or is it actually a respectful way to remind people of our troops and the wars across the world? maybe its supposed to be an anti-war statement ? then again, maybe its just another stupid idea from some fashion designer, used to help make more money for the fashion industry. never the less, i still think that this strikes me as an odd thing to come into fashion.

facebook stalking ?

So many teenagers these days have facebook, and although i personally dont have it, ive realized recently that theirs a good reason not to have it: you can so easily stalk people and be stalked by facebook. did you know that all of your personal information is displayed, including your phone number and your address ? not only that, you can veiw every picture the person has had taken of them that are added by other people. you can veiw this even if youre not friends with them, as long as youre in the same network, such as the ernestown network. Alot of people use facebook as a popularity contest, so even if they hardly know someone, they will add them or allow them to be added. this is weird, cause even if you've only met someone once, you can read all of thier information and veiw all of their pictures. you can also veiw all of their friends, so you know who they hang out with and everything. you can even read thier notes, which can sometimes be really personal. even the quizzes display so much personal information about themselves, and then just anyone can read it. the thing about facebook that freaks me out the most is the fact that you can read peoples conversations over the wall, simply by clicking wall-to-wall. you can see whole conversations about what people are doing, where they're going etc. so many teenagers dont even realize how dangerous it could be to have soo much personal information on the internet. i think its pretty dangerous, their are so many creepers out there these days. :

Shrek 3

This weekend I saw Shrek 3 and it was awesome! If you don't already know here's the story so far Shrek is a lovable green ogre who was sent to go rescue a princess- Fiona, for another prince, Shrek was all business at first but then he and Fiona fell in love and got married. Right after their honeymoon the newly wed couple goes to Fiona's parents-King and Queen of Far Far Away, for dinner. When a Fairy God Mother discovers Fiona and Shrek are married she reminds the king about a deal they agreed on years ago that Fiona should have married Prince Charming (her son). The king then hires a cat named Puss-in-Boots to kill Shrek things go slightly array when Shrek drinks a potion to make him look human and it somehow works on Fiona too Prince Charming uses it to his advantage since Fiona doesn't know what Shrek looks like as a human... to make a long story short Fiona finds out the truth and they live happily ever after.Now the story picks up with The king of Far Far Away dying and Shrek has to either become king or find a new one and it follows his wacky adventure with his trusty side kicks a smart ass donkey(named Donkey) and a cute cat(puss in boots) to do so and just as Shrek leaves Charming comes back to steal the throne... In my opinion Shrek 3 is the best Shrek movie so far because the animation is sooo much better the story flows better and the characters are still just as funny... I encourage everyone who likes Shrek to go see this one.

Poor Paris

Ha! so I was reading a magazine yesterday in class and I saw this story about Paris Hilton going to jail! that kinda made me chuckle since it was for DUI and violation of her probation(suspension of her license). So now she's sentenced to 45 days in jail which Paris thinks is unfair since she could have killed some one but Paris thinks everyone is out to get her because she's famous (it has nothing to do with her being careless and irresponsible and thinking that because she is a celebrity makes it OK to drink and drive/driving with a suspended licence ). The 45 days spends in there will be awful she won't get make-up, her cellphone, her dog, drugs or alcohol... poor Paris! This might be a good thing for Paris since she's had no boundaries before. My question is why didn't she have a body guard or a chauffeur to drive her c'mon she's worth millions and millions of dollars she should have a body guard... any ways she's probably going to pay some people lots of money to stay out of jail, so in the long run she's probably going to get a few hours of community service, wow that's going to teach her a lesson. Another thing i find funny is the fact that people have made petitions to keep Paris out of jail because she "brings joy to people"... are you kidding me?? what has she really even done? except be a spoiled brat.

Rosa Parks

Rosa Louise McCauley was born in Alabama on Feb 4, 1913 for most of her life she grew up on a farm with her grand parents her mom and her brother. Rosa was home schooled until she was 11 after that she went to the Industrial School for Girls and then went on to the Alabama Teachers College to study sciences but couldn't complete it because she had to take care of her sick mother and grandmother. She later then got married to Raymond Parks who was active in ending racism and trying to bring equality to African American's, Rosa was heavily influenced by him so she went back to get her highschool diploma and became an active member of National Association for the Advancement of Coloured People (NAACP).

In 1955 segregation was at a peak African Americans had no rights what so ever they couldn't go to the same schools, they couldn't go in the front of restaurants they had to go in through the back, and they had to sit at the back of the bus and if a white person wanted to sit where a black person was sitting, the black person had to give their seat to the white person. Who was riding a bus one day when a white person wanted her seat. When Parks refused to give up her seat, a police officer arrested her. As the officer took her away, she recalled that she asked, "Why do you push us around?" The officer's response as she remembered it was, "I don't know, but the law's the law, and you're under arrest." She later said, "I only knew that, as I was being arrested, that it was the very last time that I would ever ride in humiliation of this kind." People said that Rosa Parks was "Sweet and soft spoken but made a statement that screamed so loud."

You're perfect... so what?

People are always trying to be perfect, but what do you think perfection is? Would a perfect life be a family with a mom and a dad with two kids, (a boy and a girl,) a dog, a white picket fence, no money issues and a nice car?? Is a perfect kid someone who gets straight A's, doesn't talk back to their parents and has a million friends? people obsess about being perfect or being the best. but why I ask? If your whole life is about being perfect or being as close as possible to perfect, what fun is that? If you're always worried or stressed about your grades and you get upset because you got a 90% and not a 95%, is it worth it?It's just a grade! It's really not that big of a deal. In 100 years no one is going to care or remember who you were, and how not perfect you were.
Is perfection really achievable? in school even if you deserve 100% or more you won't get it no matter what, the highest mark you can get is 99% (99% isn't perfect). Do people strive to be perfect for themselves or for other people? do you ever here a kid mad at themselves because they didn't get an A? no, they're pissed because there parents are going to be pissed or because their friend got a higher grade. So What? don't get me wrong, trying your best is great it's just that i don't see the point in getting worked up over something as dumb being the best at something. Let's just say you are perfect, then what? you can't get any better at what you do you can only get worse. I really don't think being perfect is worth it, I would rather have fun and try my best and not worry about every little thing.

An Inconvenient Truth

I watched An Inconvenient Truth this weekend. It's a documentary about global warming, the effects, and what we can do to prevent it. Al Gore is presenting the information in a slide show to a room full of people. But there are little clips of Al Gore talking about his childhood which could have been left out but what ever. Any ways... It was an eye opening experience and I learned A LOT, to tell you the truth it kind of scared me because he said that Antarctica and the ice caps are melting and if more of it melts it could raise sea level by 20ft. which is a huge disaster for the enviroment, since the water would be melting it would dilute the salty water which means that the ocean currents would get messed up and stop working so heat wouldn't be ditributed around the world, also do you remember the turtle from finding nemo?him and his little family used the ocean currents to migrate- if the ocean currents stop turtles and other animals won't know where to go. Global warming doesn't just make the Earth warmer it makes natural disasters worse and more frequent-this year alone most hurrcain records as well as tornado records have been broken. If you do little things like change all the light bulbs in your house to energy effiecient ones you can drastically reduces Carbon emissions. Global warming is a big issue and I urge everyone to watch this documentary!

Blondes vs Brunettes

I was watching T.V. and I saw a commercial for Sunsilk shampoo. There were 2 blondes talking about how the shampoo will make your hair blonder or something and at the end of the commercial one of the blondes said "don't worry brunettes atleast your mom thinks your pretty". This got me thinking - do people find blondes more attractive then brunettes?Personally I don't think blondes are less intelligent or more attractive then brunettes but I have noticed that people who dye their hair blonde try to act less smart or act "ditzy" I think girls today think that if you dye your hair blonde you some how get pretty, i really don't perfer one colour over the other but i want to hear what you think

What a Great Influence!

As we all know, Paris Hilton and Nicole Ritchie have their own show where they live "the simple life," and after a highly publicized non-friendship between both girls they are coming back to ruin your televison experience in yet another season. In this season they are going to be camp counsellors. one of the camps they're going to is a "fat" camp, in which they will have to teach overweight kids how to balance diet and exercise to become a healthy weight. Theoretically, this camp sounds like a great idea. but being councelled by Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie? camp councellers are often seen as authority figures and good influences, but think that Nicole Richie and Paris Hilton are some of the worst people to look up to, considering they are famous for nothing, and both of them are suggested to have suffered from eating disorders....particuarilly Nicole. How would you feel if you were at fat camp and you were looking up to anorexically skinny, alcoholic, and extremely ditsy girls ? Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie realize that they arent the best role models Im sure, but they really don't care; as long as they make even more money from their up coming series!

Beauty is pain... You have no idea

Personally I believe that animal testing is wrong. People will argue that because of animal testing we have had many medical advances such as, penicillin, organ transplants, and many other vaccines. However do we actually need to torture animals to get the perfect shade of lipstick??? Cosmetic companies don't change the world they aren't trying to cure cancer or HIV/AIDS. With there advances you get foundation that matches your skin colour, or a lipgloss that stays on longer than other lip glosses(Wow), is that really worth it? For an animal in a testing lab, the time there born and every single day of their lives they are tortured, whether it's having chemicals burning your skin and eyes (They purposely blind animals just to find out facts we already know!!) and pumping chemicals into their stomaches, the only time they don't feel any pain is when they die-unloved and alone. Cosmetic companies use mice, rats dogs, cats, rabbits,birds, monkeys, and many other animals. You may ask yourself if we have so many advances why aren't there any other ways to test products? They have other ways to test their products they can use computer models and simulations, as well as cultured cells, bacteria or insects as replacements for mammals. Around 115 MILLION animals are experimented on and killed in laboratories(medical labs, universities, medical schools, pharmaceutical companies, farms and cosmetic companies) in the U.S. every year. Here are just a few products/companies that are tested on animals :
-Arm & Hammer
-Banana Boat
-Clairol
-Coppertone
-Covergirl
-Crest
-Elizabeth Arden
-Johnson & Johnson
-S.C. Johnson & Son
-Keri
-Listerine
-Luberderm
-Max Factor
-Neutrogena
-Sally Hansen
-Suave

-Olay

-Pantene
