Am I wrong? And I do care for Africa!

So the other day me and my friend Alex were discussing the economy and how everything has just kinda have gone to crap!! So i had made the mistake of speaking my mind in front of him (not that i have anything against Africa or any other poverty-stricken countries) and brought up how I think that we as a state need to stick together and make things better here before we help anywhere else. I may sound very selfish but just hear me out, I believe that if everyone here in Vegas picked up a piece of trash for every piece of trash we threw away, gave a dollar out to a bum (but be careful there's so many who knows if some are legit anymore!!) for every 20 we spent Vegas would slowly start improving. No doubt it will take time. I am not asking for it to happen over night. But just like how the Puritans way back when wanted to achieve a perfect society, it all started with us as individuals. We can not ask an entire country to change and adjust all at once. But anyway my point about the Puritans. If we want change and we want to try and pursue a Utopian society then we have to start small and work our way up. So after I told Alex "You know we should chill on helping Africa for a while to we get some of our mess cleaned up". OMG. You would have thought I bagged on his mother!! He went off on me and told me i dont care about the little kids with their ribs showing on the commericals and i hate Africa. Which is not true because i always am sending my cans to the food drives or whatever they ask for. But do i have somewhat of a point? I mean I kind of rambled on in this post but i mean if we overall want to be a better nation we have to work on bettering oursleves first. Right?

Edward Cullen.

Is it just me or has the Twilight series taken over the World? I was a bit of a cynic at first. Vampires falling in love? Not my thing. So as time went on and I saw more and more people with the book in hand I thought maybe i should give it a shot. I read into about the 6th chapter and liked it... but i still didnt see where all this hype came from. To be honest Edward seemed kind of like a a**hole to Bella!! So time went on and Edward was all over every girls myspace and Twilight was just 'taking the place of Harry Potter'. Twilight the motion picture. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I swear it isnt Hollywood unless its over done. A author just cant publish a good damn book. It has to turn into a movie. And young starlets have to sing or singers want to act!! Its like they got one foot in the door why not try any and everything else Hollywood has to offer!! (celebrities these days (;) So anyway i didnt see the movie until about a month after it had been out, which btw was still packing in the people. I honestly wish Edward could have came and flew me to Fork's then and there. As overrated or whatever people have to say about it, the Twilight saga is pretty well thought out. I must say the book is better then the movie, by far [aren't they always!] but the movie kind of capped the book off for me. Not only does it give you a face with a name but the actors really pull off the characters. I mean and its even better their low key actors because you only think of Robert Pattison as the infamous Edward. Bravo Stephenie Meyer!! And my hats off to the amazing cast that put over 356.8 million bucks in your wallet. (:

blue light? please?

So I am pretty sure you all kow what a sidekick is. Although it has basically lived up to its name and been there for me to easily text, call, look up movie times whatever I honestly think it has slowly ruined me!! This thing has some kind of power over me sometimes!! I have a pretty active social life and tons of friends so it's not like i am a total teenage attention whore waiting for anyone to give me the time of day. I just cant do anything without it anymore!! I am so dependent on it, its silly!!This thing just consumes me at times. It may sound a little crazy but the more i think about it this conclusion i came to; if i do anything, not only is this device in my hand but i cant not look to see if the sleep light is blue!! I am absolutley OBSESSED with it!! I realized it had officially took over my life when while showering i popped my head out of the shower straining my eyes to try and see if that little light was blue. Once i saw it was green i got kind of moody and sad. And i know some of you might say I am just ridiculous and i can not make it pretty much my life BUT its kinda hard!! Is it possible that an invention that is supposed to be the biggest convience in your life could be the biggest inconvience?
