What this is all about

As you've probably noticed, what I mostly do on this blog is rant about whatever comes to mind. I, however, also like to do creative writing things, such as short stories and poetry. Therefore, I'm going to create another blog. This one is for my rants, and the other one shall be for my artsy things. I'll leave a comment with the address once it has been created. Check it out!

Accelerated Reader Makes Reading a Chore!

Accelerated Reader, more commonly known as A.R., is a program in which students are assigned a level of reading comprehension, tested on books, and given points for their reading. In many ways, A.R. is a fantastic program. It can motivate kids to read things they wouldn't normally, and give kids a reward for remembering what they've read. However, it makes reading homework, instead of a recreational activity. Personally, I love to read, but I don't necessarily always read what is in my level (considering it's high enough that it's mostly biographies *bragbragbrag*). I'm also less keen to read when I feel that I have to. A.R. is a useful program, but I think reading is something kids should be encouraged to do, not forced.

Rush Limbaugh

As you've probably figured out by now, I am very liberal and very opinionated. Therefore, when I am forced to listen to Rush Limbaugh, who is a conservative extremist radio show host, it angers me. so I thought I'd just bash him a little bit to get it off my chest. So, just to let everyone know, he gets his information from the National Inquirer. The newspaper that says Dr. Phil is gonna kill himself and that Oprah had an affair. Both of these stories are not only completely untrue, but ridiculous beyond belief! I guess thats what Rush Limbaugh is too, however

New Series!!

I'm gonna start posting a new weird book that i make up as i go along! R U READY???? Because its coming soon!

Oil Spill

As you probably know by now, a BP oil rig that was under water exploded, flooding the surrounding sea with oil. The spill is now very close to land and could possibly be carried by the current along the Eastern Seaboard. It has endangered many of the (omg it's 5:55 and 5/5!) species that live in the ocean, including the shrimp we are now not allowed to eat. I, personally, am outraged by this entire situation, not only by the oil, but by how they are trying to deal with it. People are adding more chemicals to the water to break up the oil, which pollutes the water extremely, and some people are trying to burn it! 'We don't want to endanger the land or the fish, so let's set it on fire!' And, recently, another oil rig blew up in San Antonio! i think this is a sign that Mother Earth wants us to STOP USING CRUDE OIL!!!!

'Alice in Wonderland' Movie Review

Tim Burton's 'Alice in Wonderland' is a sequel to the Disney classic we all know and love. In this new movie, Alice is all grown up. She still has her odd ideas and wonderment, however. And when she falls down the hole again, she must defeat the Red Queen and her evil monster, the Jabberwocky, with the help of the Mad Hatter, the March Hair, The Chesure Cat, the White Rabbit, and the White Queen. I absolutely, 1000% LOVED this movie!!! The special effects, the acting, the characters, all of it was fantastic! Every actor played their part perfectly (especially johnny depp <3). I recognized two actors from Harry Potter (can you guess who?) the soundtrack is amazing too. GO SEE THIS MOVIE!

Im Back!

Hey everyone! Sorry I've been gone for so long, but a lot of stuff has been going. Just to give you an update: My birthday was Februray 6th, Spring Break is next week, and I have recently become obsessed with something new.
For my birthday, my best friend Sara and I went to Denver. We ate lunch at the Hard Rock Cafe, which was AMAZING, and stayed the night in a four star hotel. It was tons of fun. I don"t think I will be doing anything for Spring Break, but I'll keep you posted. And my new obsessions name is Mitchell Davis.
Mitchell Davis is a YouTube comedian, and he makes hilarious videos with his friend Kyle, such as Zebra Dancing and Juanita Puanita. I want you to check it out, so I'm not gonna explain it further. His YouTube channel is is called livelavalive. CHECK HIM OUT! You will love it!
