Marijuana…to smoke or not to smoke?
I’m sure that there is a very large part of the population that smokes, or has smoked up at least once in their life. I was one of the few that was very much against smoking pot for the last several years. Ever since I was in high school, and watched everyone do it, I refused. I do drink, and enjoy partying, and I didn’t mind if other people smoked up around me (although I preferred not to hang out with them) but I didn’t want to touch the stuff. It wasn’t because of all the health myths (I smoke cigs), but it was because I was afraid of being considered grungy. A pothead. Dependent on a feeling, or mindset brought about by marijuana. I did not want to become that. In high school, those kids were gross, and didn’t go anywhere with their lives.
Now, I’m far out of high school, and well aware of my decisions and the consequences to follow. I tried marijuana, which proved to be a great release from extreme stress. Finally, years later, I got it. It’s great. I don’t care if people think that I’m a potthead anymore, because after all the partying, the friends, the hangovers, the gossip, the bad work schedule, the exams, the family drama, the money stuff, the unhappiness that I’ve experienced in the last few years, marijuana swept in and cleared my head. So for those of you who still think like I did, don’t hate until you’ve tried it. I’m writing this because I have a very judgemental close friend. It’s easy to wonder why people enjoy marijuana, but don’t question what you can never understand.
However, I’m proud that I wasn’t a stupid teenager, smoking everyday, every hour on the hour. I waited until I was older, responsible, and understood what my priorities were. Maybe that’s what everyone should do. Hold out until you really need it.
I found this website quite interesting, as it reassured me which weed myths were myths:

Seth Rogen…Observe and Report failure??
Oh Seth Rogen, the newest spruce of comedy that has been added to the silver-screen. Thank god! It’s about time that some good humour started to dominate. Now don’t get me wrong, I love all sorts of comedy, but Jim Carey, Adam Sandler (HUGE FAN), and Will Ferrell (and all of their comedy crews) seem to be loosing their touch. I guess their time may be over, although I could watch Vince Vaughn until the end. But considering that Seth Rogen is pretty much the same age as me, I think I relate to him a lot better. It’s great, they smoke up, they like geeks, and they’re weirdos. I think everyone has a little bit of that in their personality.
Anyways, I was sad to hear that Observe and Report was supposed to be s***. Last night, my friends asked me to watch it with them and I declined. I didn’t want to be disappointed by a Seth Rogen movie. I didn’t even really like Mall Cop so I didn’t expect much more. I saw a review on t.v, and the guy said that you’d be better off renting it, or downloading it for free. I watched another movie, but when we were exiting the theatre, some kids were leaving “Observe and Report”. I overhead one of them saying “That was the s****** Seth Rogen movie I’ve ever seen, what a f****** waste”. So instead we watched Monsters vs. Aliens, where Rogen voices Bob (the blue blob). He was great, I was laughing until the very end. Once again, I’m proud to say that I’m a supporting Canadian fan of Seth Rogen. Keep spreading the laughter!
Who’s hotter Megan Fox or Angelina Jolie??
Now, I honestly look at Megan Fox and see the next Angelina. I hail Angelina to be one of the most beautiful women of our time (next in line to Aishwarya Rai of course), but let’s face it, she’s beginning to age. I love her attitude, her movies, and her style, but I think even she is beginning to accept that her time is over.
I think that pic was a flattering image of Angelina Jolie aging. It’s funny because everyone acts like Angelina Jolie doesn’t care what the public thinks about her, yet when the skinny phase started, she rapidly lost weight. She’s always had a very sexy, filling figure which is now just skinny, making her look frail. I think Angelina isn’t going to age well if she keeps losing weight. Now Megan Fox on the other hand is skinny, but she still looks healthy (unlike Lindsay Lohan). She just looks like a girl that has a small frame (although I’m sure she’s starving on the inside). Well whatever it is she’s doing, she’s definitely the next Jolie, now she just has to get more roles in movies!
Tuition in Ontario is B***S***
Now this is one topic that I know inside out. Tuition fees in Ontario. If you go to a post secondary institution in Ontario Canada, you’re bound to be ripped off by high tuition prices. Honestly, it’s horrible. Financial aid is definitely not the best route to take, and if you did initially take it, you’ll find that sooner or later you will be kicked off of it, leaving you absolutely no way to pay for tuition. I had to work full time to pay for school, therefore missing classes, and finding it difficult to keep up. Does this make any sense at all? Why is it that college tuition is practically half of the price of university tuition. On top of it, those kids get out sooner, and get better paying jobs. If you go to university, you basically have to go to grad school (another jump in tuition fees) to even get a good paying job. Having a degree in Ontario is like having a high school diploma. Everyone has one, and it does jacks***! Yes I am a struggling student, and for the last 2 years I have been trying to find ways to fund my education. Working and attending school is difficult, and I don’t have the blessing of some parent paying for all of my education. $2500 every 4 months, in addition to the cost of books (at least $400 a semester) is very costly. This is in addition to credit card bills, transportation, food, the whole deal. I mean when are these institutions going to realize that half of the people attending aren’t even getting their monies worth? We spend all of our time working just so that the word “registered” shows up on the class list. We barely even make it to school. I mean how can we, working around horrible work schedules that refuse to be accommodating, and classes all the way on the other side of the city! I would have been graduated and done if tuition was the same price of college tuition. And I attend one of those schools that believe they’re better than all the rest (and they suck). They have horrible professors, a badly run registrar, and stupid policies (not mentioning any names U of T). All of these struggles for a piece of paper that will barely get me a job to make ends meet. Is it time to give up and drop out? Should I just apply for some entry level job and work my way up, or is it actually worth it to finish school? I mean, I have bills to pay, and getting my education has brought me nothing but hassle and troubles. To top it off, I hate my major. Either tuition prices need to be lowered, or they need to come up with more bursary plans (only like 2 available at my school-I’ve looked hard). Well, I can say one thing for sure, F*** grad school!
Lady Gaga…love game…here we go again!
Still beggin for it!
OK, so like I said before I like Lady Gaga’s music, it always sounds funky to me. It has a great beat to dance to, or listen to in your car when you’re driving. But honestly, his disco stick? WTF? If that’s what you kids are calling it these days. Seriously, I mean, it’s like she’s been dying to tell the world how horny she is, and now that she’s getting famous, she can’t stop! I know it’s hard to understand the lyrics (besides the chorus) because sometimes she sounds like a f***** up robot, but it gets pretty bad, “I’m educated in sex, yes, and now i want it bad, want it bad”. I mean who the hell feels the need to tell the world that she’s educated in sex. Or was that just another way to let everyone know that she’s a whore and down for everything. But I thought once you get famous, it’s easy to get laid no matter how much of a “butterface” (but her face) you are! Maybe she just thought that no one knew she was easy yet. By the way, did you guys see the end of this music video? Maybe she’s going for that whole empowerment thing like Madonna, but something is missing. Like the fact that she may have a penis under her pants. Anyways, keep letting out the retarded songs, because I really do like the beat! You can find the lyrics below to laugh like I did. Cheers!

Fast and Furious-Imports are Awesome!
I loved this movie, it had great cars all throughout. When I went to go watch the movie, I was very disappointed to hear my friend tell me what he read in a forum. Some guy was completely bashing the imports. Apparently their pop can mufflers, and tiny bodies aren’t anything in comparison to American muscle. Now don’t get me wrong, I appreciate cars that have something worthwhile under the hood, but this is a new day and age, and American muscle just ain’t cutting it anymore. You can’t compare a huge engine to the latest Skyline. I don’t want to sound like a hater, but the engines in imports are so much more advanced. I mean I think its great that American muscle cars may have 200hp, which was quite advanced for that time, but the Japanese perfected that 200hp, made it faster, cleaner, and smoother. Suspension, torque, horsepower, it’s all in the import. Besides, imports rule the racing world, and secretly I think we all know that. The issue here is letting go. No one likes change, but American muscle had its day, it’s time for imports to shine!
For those of you who saw the movie, and actually enjoyed it, I’m sad that Han only had a two second bit and left for Tokyo. I was also very sad to see (true to form) Paul Walker bashing up that Skyline. But other than that, they flashed a lot of well done cars, and it pretty much carried the whole movie for me!
Toyota Supra killin the race
Selling Sex
What do you think of when you hear about selling sex? Prostitution? Celebrities? Women, men or both? As a young female, I feel that women are used more to sell sex as opposed to men. To broaden this topic lets just say you can see the trade of sex on three spectrums. There is the Western concept of sex, exploitation for popularity, lesser is better (clothing wise), and of course, put sex everywhere because that’s all people are really interested in (not the best concept). Then you have the Eastern side of the spectrum, cover it up, it’s as secretive as the black market (everyone knows about it but act as if they don’t), yet the exploitation of females is common and considered normal (practical?). Lastly, you have the combination of the two, such as mail-order brides (women exploiting themselves to the Western world to gain entrance into it), pornography industry which definitely combines the two, and the well known concept of sex trafficking.
Now in the Western world, selling sex is done almost as easily as it’s said. It’s freely available online to people of all ages, therefore making it a societal norm. When the youth of today grow up, indecent exposure might be considered normal, or even necessary to warrant fame. Sex is used to sell all types of products, it’s in the bud of many jokes, it’s all over television, movies (the general pop culture data base). Why does sex sell so easily? Because the formalities of society has been constantly lowered. Sex went from a liberating concept, to that of indecent exposure over the course of a few decades. Do we want sex to be as easily accessible as it is today? I guess this question may be more difficult for a parent to answer rather than me. The vulgarity and somewhat offensive nature that sexual content produces objectifies women quite severely in the Western world. However, whose choice is it to stop it? I mean, playboy bunnies such as Holly Madison, Kendra Wilkinson, etc feel completely comfortable and liberated going on TV, strutting around naked, and having men gawk at them. They know they’re objects of lust to those men, and they embrace it. I have no problem with that. In fact, I have a little bit of respect for them because they’re proud of themselves inside out (even though the outer parts may be fake). But this does not mean that I want to be viewed in the same context by men. So I them problem that is proposed is the border. Do people know when they’ve crossed the line when it comes to sex?
In the East (I have not been so this may not be completely accurate), I feel that sex isn’t as mainstream as it is in North America. It’s as though cultural restraints have still kept their nations from being fully exploited. Do nation that consist of largely religious populated areas have less risk of this exposure become of their common shared morals? Is North America in faster decay because of its diverse, ever so modern and changing persona? Well not quite, the East is definitely catching up in the exploitation isle. Sex trafficking generates a good part of funds going into these growing economies, but obviously enough is greatly supported by the people of North America. Women are forced into prostitution, brothels, and are commonly sold between pimps and gangs to generate funds from tourists. Thailand and Cambodia hold high reputations for child sex trafficking, and the tourists flock for their piece.
This leads me to ask one more question. When sex is made main stream is it safer? Although sex trafficking, brothels, child pornography, etc all exist in North America, it seems to exist on a much smaller scale than that of the East. Is this because human rights are so greatly honored, or can some of the contribution be because sex is mainstream, therefore the right and wrongs of sex are also acknowledged? Is the selling of sex much more dangerous where it is being ignored? I suppose so.
Jessica Alba aka the Dumbass
We all love Jessica Alba. She’s cute, sweet and has a rockin body. Yes many of us women completely envy her, but we were wrong ladies, she’s not as great as she seems. Apparently Alba has earned quite the reputation as a typical Hollywood b****. Not only is she rude, but lil miss goody bimbo shoes has proved that she’s an idiot. Did anyone catch the TMZ clip of Alba questioning a reporter during Obama’s inauguration? OMG, this woman looked so dumb. I didn’t get to see the full clip, but what I caught was good enough. She was asking the reporter why he wasn’t happy or something about Obama being in office, and arguing that the reporter should be neutral about the situation…oh that’s right, neutral like Sweden! Oh Jessica, when will you learn that you’re the hottie in movies, no one cares what you say, and that is exactly why. No worries everyone, I found the link that further confirms that Jessica Alba is an idiot…ENJOY!
Thankfully Sweden was neutral at one point in history...60yrs ago

Rwandan Genocide
I thought it would be nice for us all to take a minute and realize that it is the anniversary of the genocide that took place in Rwanda in 1994. Some 800,000 people were killed because of indifference. As I’ve reported before, there is a current genocide taking place in Sri Lanka, and aid is needed. The UN Security Council ignored the cries of General Dallaire, and the reports that weapons were being sent to the extremist groups. Despite who the failure of Rwanda can be accredited to, remembrance should be paid so we can learn from these mistakes, and prevent them from occurring in our present day world.
WTF Lady Gaga??!!?
Now I don’t mean to sound like someone who is hating on my generation or anything, and don’t get me wrong, I like Lady Gaga’s music, but honestly, she’s totally weird! I mean, in our day and age anything meaningless or confusing is praised by young society. Why? I just don’t get it. I mean I like Lady Gaga’s music because it has a good beat. But really, I only understood her first song about just dancing in a party. The way I interpreted it was that I drank too much and now I have to dance a whole lot to sweat it out and sober up. I don’t know what else she was singing about. I mean she was humping a children’s pool toy in the bloody kiddie pool in her music video?!? I don’t understand why girls think they have to look like trash of some form to get noticed. Her music is pretty funky, that’s all she needs to put out there. And really, why is she always dressed like a space robot? What’s even more funny, is that she’s completely outrageous and slutty in her music videos, but when someone interviews her shes quiet and somewhat shy. Stop trying to act like you’re a reserved young lady when you’re selling sex to get big! This jig is up buddy, everyone knows you’re a whore! But honestly, I do like her songs, the rhythm, all that crap, but just because people like you, you don’t have to start acting like a douche to keep their attention. Who can relate to the horrid way she dresses, and her weird cover your face dance moves along with the
in your face sex!? Lady Gaga, you’re going to confuse your fans too much and make yourself a 3 hit wonder (aka Sisqo)! Sorry to report the bad news hun!
QUEST CREW
I know this is extremely delayed, and I’ve meant to comment on these boys for a while now. Quest Crew is insane, I love them! For all of you haters who don’t think they deserved to win, you’re idiots! Not only do they have a great attitude, they always bring it with flare, something creative, humour, and fun. When I watch Quest Crew, I sit through their whole routine, eyeballing their moves. When other crews step up, some of their s*** is alright, but they’re not constant. Much love to Quest Crew, enjoy your victory!!!
Genocide in Sri Lanka
Check out this article posted by the Boston Globe:
http://www.boston.com/bostonglobe/editorial_opinion/oped/articles/2009/03/31/the_silence_surrounding_sri_lanka/
At this time there is a mass genocide taking place in Sri Lanka. For those of you who are not familiar with this issue, it is somewhat similar to that of Rwanda. The global arena is being true to form, and ignoring or “silencing” the genocide and political issues (as in the case of Rwanda), when global relief, aid, and intervention is needed. Please help spread the word! Check out the link.
Go Away Paris Hilton!!!!!
Now I realize how lucky we are right now, since pop culture is slowly forgetting about Paris Hilton. But that b**** always finds a way back in. I like to watch retarded reality shows such as Flavor of Love, Tila Tequila, Rock of Love, etc because they are truly funny (not because I’m an idiot and want to be like them). But Paris Hilton’s reality show SUCKS! I think we all know this. But that’s not the point. Her stupid BFF reality show finally stopped playing on the channels that I used to enjoy, which made me really happy, but then it came! SMACK. Like a slap in the face, she has another reality show…my British BFF?!!? Are you kidding me? When is she going to stop spending soooo much cash to get people to like her? It’s not happening. It’s bad enough that she’s only reached the literacy level of a kid in Gr.2, but she’s spreading her face all over good ol fashioned reality t.v. I watch those shows for humour, not to fall asleep while dreaming of smashing in my t.v! And when will her loyal band of ”Parisites” realize that she has no substance or intelligence, and give up on her!
- An Idiot at Heart
Is this the kind of woman that we want influencing young girls? Instead of your kids growing up with an understanding of anything intelligent, they’ll be screaming “That’s Hot”! Has society dumbed down for Paris Hilton, or because of her? We all know it’s not just her, but its’ the impression, or persona in general. Many celebrities would rather be seen as a stupid piece of ass instead of a smart go getter! Well in Paris Hilton’s case, she wasn’t even a good piece of ass! Anyways, someone needs to stop renewing contracts with this bimbo, and put something funny, or at least worthwhile on television! GO AWAY PARIS, JUST GO! You have enough money, you don’t need the fame, and we don’t need to see your underwear!
