Not that Random of a family...

I really like the book so far. It is alot to consume in just a couple of chapters, but I like the fast paced reading. Reading about pregnancy, drugs, sex, and young children being abused is liek another world to me. I never grew up the way these kids did, nor has many other poeple that I know. But of course you read about ti and see it in movies. To them its a normal life, but when we read it, we think they live in hell. It seems that every girl who is ten years or older is pregnant with five chidren and three different fathers. Its overwhelming to hear abotu how the girls acted and the men. Some end up lucky nad the rest have to learn to grow up fast. I feel very blessed that I never get to expereince the hard life these children have too. I think these kids can turn there life around though, even the parents. First of all, children need to get back in school becuase that is the only realistic way hey are going to get a decent payign job. Parents need to look after thier kids more and stop the drugs. It is not that hard, but when so much controversy and negative influences are around constantly, it's difficult to walk away.

Anna Nicole

I forgot to blog about the Anna Nicole discussion. I did not persoannly enjoy any of the case information shown on television. I do not know anyone who would "enjoy" it. But it is amusign tryign to figure out wh othe father of the baby is and tryign to find out the final casue fo the death, which they have recently ruled as an accidental deat hdue to nine prescription durgs in her system. It is an unfortuante incident to occur and every news channel found it as much important to talk about than the war, which is not good. People die everyday and its sad, but true. I haven't heard much about the case anymore. Everyone is focused on more newer things. This is one of those 15 minute news that comes and goes. Life goes on and pretty soon we will forget Anna's name.

Scary Movies and Chinese Birth Control

I think that people watch scary movies just for the adrenaline rush. It is not like an everyday person sees ghosts monsters, or other thigns in thrillers all the time. It is somehtign different. I love scary movies personally! Your heart races and your scared to death and its really cool. I really do not know why else people would would watch horror movies...

Group 5 & 6

Celebrity Question:

I have to admit, I am very much in tune with celebrity gossip. I am not really proud of it though. WHo the hell cares what goes on in actors or actresses lives. We all need to focus on our own because I doubt any of these celebrities would give two craps what occurs in our daily lives. But if I were some famous person and saw my face on the cover of a magazine, depending on what the coverstory said, I would proabably read it. That would proabably be in the beginning of my fame and then after that, I'll get over it, as do all celebrities. But if I saw one about my spouse cheating, I am not sure what I would do. It would probably be somehtign I have known about already. Those things are hard to say though...We are not celebrities and thier lives are fantasies compared to the "normal" people. We have to live in thier shoes to answer these questions.

Judge Question

If I were the jugde, I would proabably charge the officers with manslaughter or somethign else severe. It is not right to shoot someone 31 times! After the victim was down at probabaly the first shot, what else was the officer planning to happen, only kill the man. He killed him with no sole purpose. It is ridiculous and should not ever happen again. The officers are scared and do not know the proper way to handle an occurence like this. More trainign should be done so police officers are more aware of what to do. In this case, the killer should go to jail. The other man who shot eleven times is the same to me. It only takes one shot, maybe two, to put a person down, 31 times is just wrong...

A Hitlist

I come from the second largest highschool in New Jersey,which is Clifton High School. You would think there would be alot of violence and threats everywhere. And maybe there were at times, but I do not recall any hitlist or threats from the students. But during my sophmore year there was a anthrax threat and we to be detianed in our classroom for about three hours or so. Lights were off and doors were locked. I think that is the only major thign that occurred while I was in highschool. But I do not think it had anythign to do with a student, I thik the threat was from soemone outside of the school. I also rememeber a bomb threat in middles school nad all the students had to evacuate to a nearby funeral home. Taht was pretty crazy. But as for a hitlist, I cannot really recall any. I am more than sure that there probabaly was some though. Those type of incidences occurs in unexpected places, it doesn't just have to be in a fairly large school.

American Idol

I think that bad singers stay on American Idol because it brings a sense of drama to the show. Personally, I think that for this season there are not many great singers at all. Someone like Sanjaya stays on becuase of his appeal to a younger audience and fact that he has outrageous hair. Simon Cowell even commented on it and said that maybe it was his hair that was keeping him in the competition. I also think it could be for sympathy. If the judges really bash the person and that person ends up in tears, viewers may feel bad for that person. I am sure the producers of the show could care less if they have found a great singer or not, they just want excellent ratings. Antonella is good example because the controversy that she had with racy pictures goes against the show's rules, yet she was still on till getting voted off. But in the end, I think the worst singers sooner or later get voted off and the best singer wins the competetion.

Spring Break!!!

I'm so sad to say that spring break is over. Went by way too fast. but I had a blast down in Florida. I went with a group of my friends and we stayed at my house in Orlando. So much fun!!! We layed out by the pool, worked out (lol), went shopping, and went to Daytona Beach. At night we all went to City Walk and hung out. We ate at the Hard Rock which was really good! We also went to Disney World which I can never get enough of. I also had a great time at Club Paris when we went on our last night there. Got into alittle trouble, but whatever, its my Spring Break and I guess thats a good excuse. lol And that is bascially it. I came back and a day later the blizzard from hell came. It was good though cuz I was able to miss work. But then the next day I wanted to go shopping again so I leave my house and as I back out of my garage the car gets stuck in ice. Half the freakin car is out in the driveway and wont move. I thought the driveway was shoveled enough, but apparently not. My brother and I shoveled around the car like crazy and a good two hours later everythign was good. Then I went shopping :)

Can't wait till summer! <3 Nabila
