Evolution

I am a believer in evolution. I am also a believer in Global Warming. So I got to thinking, can animals that are losing their homes to Global Warming evolve and adapt to this new environment? Like the polar bears, who I am most heartbroken about losing their homes, can they adapt to their new melting environment? I mean, technically, (very, technically) apes evolved into Neanderthals and we derivative of them (sorry, its been a while since my BIO days) Maybe this is just wishful thinking for the polar bears, but if some of them survive and get used to their new climate maybe then they can pass on those traits to their offspring. I hope I'm right because if they go extinct its our fault!

What If..

I am currently reading a biography on Marilyn Monroe and was thinking the other day, "what if she was still alive today?" Although she did live a pretty tragic life, she had more perseverance and motivation than most people I know. Then I was thinking, what if JFK and Bobby Kennedy were still alive? How different our nation would be. Such great leaders with great plans for our country, and taken so suddenly away from us. It's strange to think what our lives would be like with these people still in it. Hopefully our nation will continue to breed great minds who have an even greater ambition to use them..

OMG

Tonight was the premiere of Gossip Girl aka the best day of my life!! (kidding, just) Although we discussed in class how bad and vulgar the advertising was for GG it sooooo does NOT matter. The show was amazing. I'm once again in love with Dan Humphrey and envious of Serena. Who would think that one show could control so many emotions I have! Ha! Also, I asked my friends out of curiosity what they thought of the GG advertisements and they thought they were really sexy and amazing, so there you have it! Looks like the cheap advertisement works! Either way, the show is a total hit and I can't wait to hear how high the ratings were! Do I sound like a a pre-teen or what? Time to go, you know you love me...

Jesus Camp

Today I watched Jesus Camp with a friend who needs to write a paper over a documentary. WHAT THE %^&%? If any of yall have had a chance to see it.. I really don't even know what to say about it. The entire time my eyes were just bugged out and mouth open. It's incredulous that a 9 year old can talk about how Global Warming isn't real and how Evolution is a joke. I understand everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but when your only 9 your opinions are coming from your parents. These kids all talked about being saved again and would talk in tongues whenever the Holy Spirit would "speak through them." The kids were shipped off to camp in North Dakota and would just cry and pray for a week and repent for their "sins" What damage can a 9 year old God fearing child do? Apparently a lot because the children would just bawl the entire time at camp and talk about redemption and faith. Pretty big words for a kid. And I thought going to Catholic School for 9 years was brainwashing...I wish they would do a follow up on these kids once they it puberty and see if they still feel the same way about their Evangelical religion then...Check out the Trailer for the movie..
(Yes, they are pretty much training kids to be an army of God's messengers..)

ITunes Gift Cards= Greatest Gift Ever

As I try to sit down and write an 8 page paper due for Tuesday I can't help but get on my ITunes are browse for new songs. You see, I received ITune gift cards for some birthday or christmas occasion and I just activated them. This way I can download music (legally) and not feel guilty for charging 99 cents on my parents' credit card for every song! Today I downloaded Music of My Heart by NSync and Gloria Estefan. Chances are I probably would not have bought it if I weren't buying it for free. Why do some people do that? It really just leads to excess and greed. Downloading music is a gluttonous hobby yet I can't seem to break away from it. At least I'm doing it legally? Yea, too bad my parents don't really see it that way.

This is NOT Reality

Why is it that in the movies, people never break up? It's always la la la happy ending, yadda yadda, have a baby, etc. Although I am a sucker for those kinds of movies, I was thinking that that is NOT how real life works. I just saw Forgetting Sarah Marshall, which I blogged about, and it was an alright movie (saw it for Free in Hughs-Trigg) and they broke up, but he ends up with an even hotter new girlfriend! Technically, the only movie I can think of when they break up is The Break-Up with Jen Aniston and Vince Vaughn, but that doesn't count because that's what the movie is about...Why does Hollywood have to portray all these happy marriages and relationships? Maybe couples look to the movies to judge their relationship and when they realize their relationhip isn't movie-worthy, they break up. THIS is the demise of real-life love! Do I sound scorned? Damn. I'm just sayin' it's BS that movies don't have a more equal representation of real-life relationships.. it's always totally in love or totally in angst. Oh the drama...

Pimping out your kids

As I am enjoying a lazy sunday afternoon, watching The Soup with Joel McHale, he is playing back clips of kids being cute and singing on national TV. Cute right? WRONG! Little Bindi Irwin, daughter of legend Steve Irwin, will probably look back and cry when she reviews the tape of her singing about grizzly bears on national TV. However, it does make great TV as my friends and I are dying laughing right now. Why do parents pimp out their kids? It really is embarassing..can they not make their own money? Especially in Bindi's case, her father just died in a freak accident and then she is all over TV, the Martha Stewart show.. what's worse is the father and daughter dance show... isn't that a little incestuous?! There are a bunch of wackos out there and they love being on tv and recognized for it! Here's a clip of Bindi's rap.. try not to laugh too hard..

On a side note, how embarassing would you feel if you were one of the male dancers in her entourage?! HAHA Add that to your resumé!
