In The News

Haiti Earthquake
Earlier in the week, Haiti experienced a horrific earthquake that killed tens of thousands of people. People and bodies were pulled from the rubble , and corpses lay rotting it the street. Thousands of people are frantically searching for there loved ones, fearing the worst. Drinking water and food are in short supply. Everything is in ruin. This is a tragedy. If you've watched the news lately, you have seen at least five heart wrenching stories about lost children and family members. It makes me cry just to think about the pain those people must be feeling. Luckily, there is a way to help. I encourage everyone reading this to donate some money the Red Cross so that you can aid the recovery. Every cent counts.

Well, I'm gonna talk about something funny now, because i got myself all sad.

Sarah Palin Hired as Fox News Contributer
No, I'm not joking. This is seriously happening. Well, I guess she's qualified. Flunked out of college five times, likes to shoot at wolves from helicopters, yep, she fits at Fox. Well it's not gonna effect me, since i don't watch Fox News, but its sad how she doesn't even realize that she is just digging herself into a deeper hole. I have lost pretty much all respect i had for her, which isn't much, considering that i had only a small it of respect for her to begin with. You know what? I'm gonna watch this play out and let the jokes write themselves. Be ready for jokes to come.

Movie Review: Avatar

Avatar is about a young ex-marine's, Jake Sully, journey to a far off planet called Pandora, where he becomes an avatar and interacts with the indigenous people of that planet, the Na'vi. He has to persuade them to move away from there home so the humans can mine a valuable substance that is underneath their village. However, Jake is beginning to like being one of the Na'vi. He is in love with one of them and wants to keep their culture safe. However, just because your ten feet tall and blue doesn't mean you can get everything you want. This conflict starts a war between the humans and the Na'vi. Who will win Pandora?

I have two words for this movie : HOLY CRAP! There isn't a word for how utterly amazing this movie was. It wasn't just the special effects, either. This movie had everything anyone could want: romance, comedy, drama, action, and giant blue people! And the special effects! I saw it in 3-D, so everything looked like it was about to touch you, and everything looked so real!! I mean if someone had told me it was actually filmed on a distant planet with actual Na'vi actors, it would have been hard to deny. I can't even do justice to how cool it was! IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THIS MOVIE YET, BUY A TICKET NOW!! A word of warning however; I had to sit in the second row, and everything made me kind of nauseated until the end. So either get there early and get a good seat, or don't eat before seeing it!
