I like t.v. a lot, but some shows are better than others. Personaly, i used to like house but i do not like it as much anymore. I think that it was better with just Foreman, Chase, and Cammeron. Now their are all theis new faces that i can remember. The same as Greys Anatomy. What is with all these new characters. It WAS good untill last year, but now i do not like it. Maybe it is because of all the new interns.

I do like Law and Order SVU. I think that that show is one of the most lifelike shows i have ever seen. Benson and Stabler make a good team and Ice-T is even in the show. I think that as far as tv shows go, thats a good one.

I also like King of the hill. Even though the show is an animation, i like it because it sometimes has a dramatic twist to it, and a little light humor never hurt anyone. Family guy is so funny and i was tearing.

Other than those few TV shows and the History channel which i find very interesting, thats about it!

I think that someone who is willing to sue somebody for 10 million dollars for being sexualy innapropriate has no life. Maybe i am wrong, but ten million is a lot of money. I would think about the Person i sued and how much money they have, if someone only has 8 million and is sued for 10 million, not only is he broke, but he also owes the victim 2 million dollars he doesnt have. I do not want to start up a problem, but i think their may be a better alternative.

I know that in the workplace, People can be Sexually innapropriate. I know that Sexual harasment can effect someones life, making them feel uncomftorble and even scared, so i ask you, why not just place a restraining order. Instead of being greedy, why not just make sure he stays away!

Is anyone here as old as me and remembers the gas crisis of the 1970's. Gas went up a dollar and for the time that was a lot of money. People started thinking of alternative cars and gasses, but the case was dropped because the gas prices lowered back down, and soon people started to forget about the whole thing. I was one of them!

Today, we are facing a similar problem. We are trying to find alternatives to the raising gas price, such as hybrids, electric cars, and other fules. I think this should have been taken care of 30 years ago. This is what Einstein ment when he said "If you do not learn about the past, it is doomed to repeat itself"

In my area (New York) some types of gas hit the four dolar mark. People are going crazy over this, and everyone says that something needs to be done. Hybrids are expensive and still need gas to drive. And electric cars need to be charged every minutte basically. So is their another alternative?

The American Government probably has other things to work on, but slowly our country is falling into an inflation. Gas, Heating, Food & Drinks, Electronic devises, and more. If we do not take action soon, we will see even more problems.

 Point is, something MUST be done

i was on an airplane, and sitting behind me was a 2 year old. not only did she cry atleast 3 times but she also farted and pooped in her diaper which made the plane smell like BLEEP. i think that maybe people over the age of 15 should have the choise of having their own (more expensive) airplane. Wow, kids are so anoying, so maybe we should consider my idea, sounds stupid but it might work.

i also have an idea based on my own theory. to save light, we can make lightbulbs with one-way mirrors facing the bulb, this way, we can still se the light, but now with the mirror reflections, the light will shine much brighter than before. imagin how much energy we can save. if they use them in police offices and criminal line-ups, than they can also use 1 way mirrors on lightbulbs.

Another think is maybe america should consider riding bikes more often. Since the gas prices reached $4.00, we should concider trying to shap up the economy, because when the gas price goes up, so does everything else, like food, heating oil, drinks, and other things that we take for granted. if we ride bikes more, than gas prices may go down, because when people dont need gas, we dont use it, and the price WILL go down.

Like my ideas? please coment

why is it that if a girl sleeps around, she is called a slut, but if a guy sleeps around he is known as a player? To me, that is a little gender biased. Another valid question is why do people buy grills, they look horrible and your putting them in your mouth, its kind of weird if you think about it. Another thing about our generation is baggy pants. NOBODY WANTS TO SEE YOUR UNDERWEAR!

I also hate these new caps that you can find at journey or lids. they have all this weird writing on it, and they never fit, but people wear them anyways just to look "gangsta." I think that the only good hat is a baseball cap! Another question is what is the deal with head on? what the hell does it do? WE KNOW TO APPLY DIRECTLY TO OUR HEADS! only thing is, why?

I also want to know what is aflack! we all know that gilbert gotfried is the stupid duck, but what does it even do! 

My last question is this. Why the hell do we need blue-ray? we just got dvd's. it was hard to give up VHS but now this! i am fine with dvd's and since the blueray discs are so small, their is a chance that we will lose them. Dvd's are ok, we dont need super high pimple spotting deffenition! its not importaint as long as we can see the movie

Not to many people are going to agree with what i have to say, and some people are going to state that underground hip-hop is still good, but thats not the point of this post, i want to state what i think about rap in the past 10 years.

After 2pac and Biggy were killed, so was rap! today we have people like little john saying "WHAT YA SAY". how is that rap. rap is not akon! and soulja boy is such a poser. What ever happened to salt n pepa, run DMC, and Public enemy, they all fadded away.

Hip hop used to be about more than "the club", "Shorty" and "fly", it used to be poetry with a beat, and it wasn't always about the same thing. 2pac rapped about death, Biggie rapped about gangs, Public enemy rapped about current issues, and now... Ne-yo is rapping about "Da Club".

I think that now hip-hop music is too happy, to similar, to cocky, to corny, to everything. Old school rap was a talent, something more than just flying high, rap was good. I also dislike happy music like that of the Jonas Brothers, Miley Cyrus, and Boys like Girls. i think that today you eather listen to cockey happy music, or cocky "to tha left, to tha left" hip-hop music. WHAT HAPPENED TO OUR MUSIC<{Rap}>.

What have we learned in the past 10 years? shouldnt we get an OK by the government. I dont trust this at all

although new york never sleeps, other things go on in the night time involving a bed. 2 governers are facing sex crimes, in the same week! on governer patersons first day as governer, he admitted to having a affair. 2 days previos to that, Then-Governer of new york Elliot Spitzer also was thrown into the spotlight for his twisted sex life. To conclude my blog, i would like to take a minute to say that its THEIR sex lifes, what does it have to do with the public anyways. Other than giving the news a cover story, what good is it to know about peoples personals lives and mistakes.

In my oppinion, i think that people should really get out of other peoples lives. You must ask yourself How would you feel knowing that everybody knows your sex life. I would feel horrible, wouldn't you? I know that what the governers did was wrong, but does that give anybody the right to judge him.

Personal life and political life are very different. If you are a nasty person, you could still be a great leader, just not such a nice one. If these governers sleep around, does that make them bad leaders. NO!

I have come to realize that when these scandles are published and broadcasted on the news, people forget the good things the the person did, and only remember that he slept around. Bill Clinton was a great leader, but when ever people hear his name, they think of Lewinsky. Enough is Enough, people make mistakes, we must forgive and forget.

we all know that elliot spitzer has resigned from office on october twelth, but why is it that he resigned and not bill clinton when something very similar to this happened to him. I think that maybe Spitzer now regrets locking up all those prostotutes, or maybe he is trying to regain his families trust. what ever the reason is, i do think he is weaker than bill. Bill Clinton lied under oath, but he never resigned. All that shows me is that he is stronger than spitzer, even though anyone in his right mind would have resigned.

I know that this is a very controversial topic, but all i am doing is posting my oppinion. I want to know first hand, why this even happened. How could anyone stoop to that level. I am personally suprised, but have nothing to say exept that he is a cruel, weak governer, who is a hippocrate

i remember when music was really good. People could actually play instruments, and myley cyrus and the jonas brothers weren't even born yet. Run DMC were legends, keith moon was still alive, and you needed some kind of talent to sing. Enough about your "chains hanging low" or "how to save a life." We need music from yesterday like Welcome to the Jungle, All along the watch tower, Light my fire ect...

Today, nobody knows who kurt cobain is, people think that queen is a woman in england, and myley cyrus is like... god or something. Her father was a great singer, and if it wasnt for him, she would be at school in like mississippi or something. I really hate the music of todays hip-hop artist. Biggy Smalls and 2pac would not be happy listaning to this type of music. Rap is poetry to a beat, you need to be good at it. I hate those songs like buy you a drank or something like that. What i really dont like about them is that all they sing the same thing over and over again.

In my oppinion, music has gone to a new low. why can we not see don mcleans message... we need to change out music now. I want to hear people like Jay-z again, he is a rapper, not a football manager. And i want to hear a new song by the stones, if they have been around for "over fourty years" than why cant i think of any new songs that they have made.

In conclusion, i think that music was good for a very long time, but now that is not a reality. we have kids running the radio, and the only 2 stations i could listen too without getting a headache are Q104.3 and WCBS-fm 101.1 new yorks greatest hits of all times.

I think that the governer of new york Elliot Spitzer, has to resign. Due to prostitution, he has no right leading new york. He comited a crime, and although i dont think he should go to jail, i do think he should resign and soon. He is not charged with a crime yet, but if he doesnt get out of the spotlight soon, he can get in trouble.

When ever i take a subway, i see that the price for a metro card is getting higher and higher. A new price went in effect today, and i'm pretty sure people aren't taking that very well. I think that this is bad for our wallets, but good for the city. I hope that the money we are paying is going to more than just subway workers.
