And the American Idol is...Who cares?



American Idol is just becoming a joke. Enough! How long is it going to take until they stop making new seasons? Is everyone going to become an American Idol?


I think every contestant sounds the same and I'm getting tired of watching the show. This year they picked a lot of horrible singers that when I heard them for the first time, I was shocked. The judges don't look like they are into it this year for some reason. Except for the new judge...whatever her name is. They are probably bored with this too. This year,Paula is crazy; I can't even stand to listen to her. I will be gladly shocked if this is the last season of American Idol.http://www.americanidol.com/

No More Chicken Nuggets!?

Last week a 27 year old women in Florida called 911 several times because the McDonalds she was at, ran out of chicken nuggets. Wow



After she already paid for a ten piece chicken nugget and fries, they ran out and refused to refund her money. The women went on about how it was an emergency because the lady wouldnt giver her money back and was "making" her eat a McDouble. I listened to the audio and the police's voice is just so annoyed with the lady. It's hilarious. She was then later charged with misuse of 911 and McDonalds is saying she should have gotten her money back. They are now sending her a gift card for a free meal. Can I get fries with that?

Gosh I Wish It Were Summer!

This year seems like summer is taking its good old time to get here and the snow is driving me crazy! Every time I walk outside, it just reminds me how much I miss that amazing season. It's weird how summer seems to go by so fast and then winter and spring take forever to be done with.


I miss the beaches, tanning, swimming, bathing suits, and just being able to go outside without taking five minutes to prepare for the 5 second walk out to your car. It seems that the best things in life go by so fast when they are here. Just like a week vacation seems like only a day or two, and summer only feels like a week.

My grandparents have a cottage in the upper peninsula and we go up there every summer. Every year when we go up, it takes about 6 hours to get there. Those are the longest 6 hours of my life and then once we're up there for a week or two, it flys by so fast! Too bad the drive home doesn't :/

Life's Too Short

The past week has not been my favorite. Sadly, my uncle passed away yesterday and it has been a tough few days. Now more than ever, I hate when people complain about little things because they're bored. People really have nothing to complain about unless they're deathly ill like my uncle was. He was 48 years old and to me, that's just too soon to die. I know he would have wished he could have done more things in his life and when it gets to be that time for me, I hope I wont.



A few things I want to do before I pass away are,


  • Move out of state

  • Dine at a fancy restaurant

  • Sky dive(:

  • Go to Hawaii and learn how to surf

  • Go to Spain

  • Get married/ have kids

  • See France from the top of the Eiffel Tower

  • Go to Times Square for New Years Eve

North Korea Cries...Again


North Korea has not become the biggest fan of President Obama in the past few weeks he has been in office. Yet again, North Korea has become the "baby" of the world and when they do not get enough attention...they cry and make a fit about it.


North Korea has shown signs of restlessness and increased hostility against their Asian neighbors and the U.S. because they feel ignored. I do not know why their country feels they have to be the center of attention all the time. When Bush was in office, he created a situation where the United States bowed to North Korea's every little whine and moan about not having enough money and resources.


In 2006, they reminded Bush that they do not like being ignored by firing seven missiles in a "missile test". To me, this sounds a lot like when my little brother does not get a toy he wanted at the store and has a huge tantrum. My mom finally caves in almost every time, and then to him, the world's happy again. Korea just needs to grow up and deal with their problems themselves.


I think President Obama is doing a good and bad thing. Good because he is showing North Korea that we cannot always pay attention to only them and then not on our own country. Bad because they could get fed up with our lack of urgency that they could do something irrational. Hilary Clinton is expected to name a representative specialy for North Korea but many people are worried because she has not yet named other officials for Asia. So this could take a while.


I think every country is getting fed up with North Korea and just wishes they would worry about getting their own country help and not just using our resources and money for unimportant things. President Obama should continue what he is doing by not responding to that country while Hilary Clinton finds an official for North Korea. If I lived there, I would be ashamed of my country.
