Childhood Cartoon's and Memories!

Oh childhood.. it was so simple back then and the only influence on our life was cartoons. We didn't care about what our parents told us all we cared about was saturday morning cartoons and running around with friends copying the cartoons we just watched in the morning. I was influenced by television right when i was born, because my sister's favourite show was sailor moon my mom decided to take sailormoon's real name Serena because she liked it so much. I always watched sailor Moon and carebears oh and I always watched power rangers me and my sister used to pretend to be them i was the yellow one and she was the pink one. All i ever did was watch cartoons, it is kind of pathetic, I remember always watching Lamb chops and when the lady died i cried for days and thought my life was over because lamb chops would never be the same. When i was a just a tween before becoming a teenager Spice Girls had a HUGE impact on my life anything i bought was spice girls anything i did had to involve spice girls, wow that must have been expensive for my parents!

Want a book to read? The Lovely Bones

The Lovely Bones - I am pretty sure this is THE best book I have ever read. Weirdly enough my grandma told me to read it. It has a very good story line but can be very upsetting and disturbing at times. Once you pick this book up you will never want to put it down. The book is narrated by a girl who passes away and tells the story from being up in heaven. This book really gets you thinking and intrigues you to feel like you are living in the book. If your looking for a new book to read, READ THIS ONE! It is amazing! I just absolutely love it!

A famous women - Estee Lauder

Estee Lauder is the co-founder with her husband Joseph Lauder of the Estee Lauder cosmetics companies. Estee lauder was born in New York, her parents are Hungarian Jewish immigrants. She was the only women on TIME magazine's 1998 list of the top 20 most influential business geniuses of the 20th century. She was also the recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Apparently she divorced her husband in 1939 then remarried him in 1942, they had two sons and both are part of the company. Estee lauder cosmetics are found all over the world even in Sears! I love the make-up but its a little expensive, sometimes I treat myself and buy it. After all it probably is better quality for your face.

Who killed the electric car?

So this is the movie we watched while mz.qubit was away. I'm not going to lie I didn't pay that much attention to the movie. I learned that they were invented in the 20's or 30's im not positive which year, but a very long time ago. I honestly find documentaries are very boring and I could not get into this movie what-so-ever. When mz.qubit came back, the class had an open discussion about the movie and she explained the movie to us a little. I found I was more interested when mz.qubit explained it to the class. I honestly believe electric cars are a little bit of a hassle, the whole world would have to change we already live with gas stations that is how we first adapted to cars. If electric cars came to be the only cars available brand new service stations with chargers would have to be built and people would have to get used to plugging their cars in to go anywhere. I just think life would be completely changed if the electric car was THE new car. I do not like the idea at all, but that is just my personal opinion. IF you like the electric car then all the power to you.

How Interesting...

Now that I think about this, I find it very interesting that croc's are so extremely popular yet, they have never been associated with celebrities or advertised on T.V. How did this trend become so popular? I wonder if croc's are available only in Ontario or Canada? Did the United States even hear tell of them yet? because if they did you would think they would be advertised everywhere since most advertising companies come from the states. I also think this new croc brand is going way over board have you seen some of the style of shoes that have come out, they are ugly! .. I absolutely love the classic original crocs that came out at first and some of the flip flops are nice but there are some ugly styles they have made just check out this link to a croc distributers website and see for yourself: http://www.surfanddirt.com/nofear/dept.asp?s_id=1&dept_id=6072&ad_id=ADW&key_id=crocs

I'm Outraged!

I am completely outraged with the fact that in this present time Nicole Richie and Lindsay Lohan are famous only for being to0 thin, partying all the time and being in and out of rehab. Lindsay Lohan actually has talent unlike Nic0le Richie, it seems like anyone who starts to hang out with Nicole becomes a head case. Also, what is up with the oh so coolness of being anorexic, carrying oversized purses and wearing oversized sunglasses like Mary-Kate Olsen. Apparently its hot to accentuate anorexic features. Nicole Richie honestly just looks like a beat up coke whore, Lindsay Lohan looks disgusting with blond hair and that way too thin body, Hilary Duff really just didn't need to lose weight at all, the only person who isn't drastically losing weight is Paris Hilton and thats the one person most people tend to absolutely HATE, she doesn't even hang out with Nicole anymore, I havn't even heard anything about Paris being in rehab lately. You can disagree with me but i like Paris for not being like Nicole, i just don't like how she's done nothing to become famous. These celebrities don't even realize the impact they have on teenage girls, teens are literally on the verge of dieing just to be thin like these "beautifully anorexic" celebrities.

How trendy - Having a baby!

My question to the media - Why is it so interesting to write about celebrities having babies? Who cares if a new child is born because the parents are famous, who cares if Brad and Angelina just adopted another vietnam child. I feel bad for these kids they have already gotten so much publicity they may become another Paris Hilton - Famous for doing nothing. Why write about it? Why are they trying to make having babies the new trend? Do we really want to be calling ourselves soon-to-be mommy's during our teenage years? Not so much. This trend has got to stop throughout the media, before it becomes the "popular" thing to do, it really isn't cool at all.

Pop Culture

Skinny Models - NOT IN

Finally - Italy's pact to stop skinny models

Fashion models are being stopped from being on catwalks if they are suffering eating disorders. This skinny model image is going way over board. Finally Italy is trying to put a stop to these horrific risks of being to skinny. I don't understand how people could want to look up to these models their weight is way out of hand, I don't want to imagine what kids will begin to look like soon if they think these women are beautiful.
