got apple fries ?
August 4, 2008
IS THIS WHAT THE WORLD HAS COME TO?
apple fries. burger king just launched a new product by the name of apple fries. All it is in fact, is, APPLES cut up in the shape of fries!!! is this what the world has really come to? In order for people to eat healthy food, IT HAS TO BE IN THE SHAPE OF SOME OF THE WORLD’S GREASIEST, FATTIEST FOODS? Is it me, or is this just ridiculous? Obesity is becoming a serious problem, and with products such as this, the future of the health of Americans is extremely hazy.

by ME!
a distant memory,
almost as if it was from decades ago
they say you can remember what you want and forget the rest
but what if it slips away?
no matter how hard you try..
it falls through your fingers
I close my eyes,
piecing the few fragments of a puzzle
praying it will be complete
was it a green traffic light
or was it a big tree
I adored calling tall green?
big boulder at the park?
is it gone?
a figment of my imagination?
confusion arises.
sorrow. frustration.
will I ever remember?
for now
pieces of a broken puzzle
each one disappears.
lost forever
for now

Innocence
i open the front door
what do I see
cherry blossoms blooming
far above my head
the sun is shining
the smell of a fresh new day
I turn on the TV
what do I hear
another car bomb
another ten dead
will there ever be peace
in the middle east?
four years of genocide
hearts in tears
lives in fear
is there an end in sight?
a nation
forced to pick sides
whatever happened to
“together we stand
divided we fall”?
a false pretense
the truth hidden from me
innocence lost
an empty facade?
here i am
forced to reveal
the truths of reality
isn’t there another option?
Sean Bell Shooting
May 4, 2008
(agreatvideo)
So, everyone knows about the Sean Bell shooting and the trial that ruled in favor of the police =[
Like most, I was really shocked and disappointed and angry that the murderers got away with shooting 50 or so bullets at a man. Throughout history, we always hear about men who are supposed to protect the people, men who are supposed to make the world a safer place, be hypocrites. Yes, they are HYPOCRITES. They arrest those who shoot innocent people who have done nothing. Yet, they still shot a man because of his skin color. Other examples of misconduct include the Kent State riot in May 1970- the National Guard shot 67 bullets in a barrage lasting 13 seconds upon demonstrators who were protesting the Vietnam War.
What bothered me the most, was the racial factor. It really hurts me, especially being Indian, that the world is still unkind. We still are making the same mistakes over and over again that we made centuries ago. HIstory is supposed to teach us to learn from the past and make sure that such occurrences will never happen again. So, why do people still resent people of diversity? I just cannot seem to understand what those policemen were thinking as they fired those bullets at Sean Bell.
It just really hurts me that innocent people get hurt for being different. Uniqueness is supposed to be celebrated. Not something frowned upon! It’s ignorance. Ignorance is whitewashing the world. && that needs to stop.
Rest in Peace, Sean Bell.

abortion ?
May 4, 2008
Well, in order to fully decide if you support abortion, you need to know what exactly it is? Wikipedia’s definition seems to dumb the process down for the average American- “An abortion is the removal or expulsion of an embryo or fetus from the uterus, resulting in or caused by its death. “
The topic of abortion is met with a ton of controversy- Morals or Freedom. Is it okay to murder a being? Should women be in control of their body? Abortion is one of the issues that cannot really have a compromise. At first, I was against the concept for the most part. However, I believed that victims of rape should have the decision to terminate their pregnancies. If there was CONSENT, women should not have that decision. They need to face the consequences of their actions. In life, one cannot run away from his or her problems. YOU CAN’T KILL THEM EITHER. While looking through an image to begin this post, I came across pictures of fetuses and embryos that were dead because of an abortion. I WAS SICKENED. I could not believe that THAT was an abortion. It is murder. I am not so sure anymore if rape victims should have that right. I mean, there are adoption agencies. To cope with the pain of the rape, the governement can provide counselling.
After all, isn’t murder frowned upon by God?

The Wright Effect- is he ruining Obama?
May 4, 2008
Two wrongs don’t make a right, but for Barack Obama a second chance to deal with the radical ranting of his preacher may put his suddenly
Just a few months ago, Barack Obama was on the top of the Democatic Standing. Hilary Clinton was firing campaign managers like Donald Trump on the Apprentice. But then, a man named Jeremiah Wright had risen, creating a calamity for Obama His fierce words and anti-american spirit are only doing Obama harm and thus, benefitting Clinton. Like a fierce animal seeing his prey vulnerable, she attacks, over and over again.
At first, Barack Obama contested that he can no more disavow his Reverend like his white grandmother. A few vitrolic sermons later, Obama distanced himself from Rev. Wright and made it clear that he disapproved what Wright said. After all, what was he supposed to do? Just stand by the man who was un-American. Oh, that would surely gain him the Democrat nominee. However, at the end of the day, the damage has been done. && it has certainly hurt the Illinois senator.
The question is: is it over for Barack?

save darfur- it’s time to do something for someone else.
April 27, 2008
why we need to end the conflict in darfur
after the holocaust, the world made a promise that never again will we let such an atrocity occur. well, it did. on our watch. rwanda as well as hundreds of other genocides did. we cannot be bystanders to this. hundreds of thousands have died since the start of the darfur massacre. millions have been displaced because their homes have been burnt down. countless women and children have been raped. we are basically murderers for allowing this to happen. as priviledged people, we have the power to change the situation in Sudan. America claims to be a nation that helps other countries. Look at Iraq. We supposedly went to Iraq to establish a more strong government for the country’s citzens. But, it has forced me to believe that we are actually selfish in the way we try to be selfless. Many believe the only reason why we decided to help Iraq is to reap the benefits of the hard labor- in other words OIL! Why is it that the UN can’t seem to live up to its original mission? Why are they cutting food aid to refugees in half? We need to take a stand.
&& its possible to save them if together we work<3

flds – my thoughts
April 26, 2008
So, recently, there has been a lot of buzz, controversy, and sickening details into this Texas sect that many consider a cult. One of the problems is the polygamy issue. Why do these men feel the need to marry more than one wife. It is disgusting and unfair to the women. This can result in a pandemic of sexually transmitted diseases. What is even worse and makes you want to cry is that many of these wives are teenagers, children, young women, that have barely been broken into society. As soon as they hit puberty, they are forced to marry old men! These girls miss out on their childhood. They are meant to be baby-making machines. && the only way for them to be accepted is to “please their husbands and cater to their needs and wants.” How is this in any way just? It makes me sick in my stomach to watch the invasion into the cults. I just get this sick feeling. The worst part is, the people are shut behind gates. Like animals at a zoo, they go through their daily lives, not quite knowing what lies outside their gated community. No freedom. Can you imagine that?
This religion, sought out acceptance from God. Everything they have done, they have done in the name of God. But really, is this what God wanted? I highly doubt that.

imperfections!
April 26, 2008
I would like to talk about each candidates faults:First up, Hilary Clinton.The thing is with her is that nothing is all that attractive about her positions. she is unoriginal and is trying to be like her husband. It is also tiring how she frequently disses bush! she always talks about how she wants to unite both the republican and democrat parties- so why is she bashing bush at every debate and speech she makes. We get it, Hil, you don’t like bush, much like the other 67 % of the U.S. Next up, Senator Obama:Personally, I don’t see anything wrong with Obama, but others do. Some say he doesn’t have enough experience. Well, um, Bush had “experience”- look where that lead us. Others are worried that if he’s elected, he will be assassinated because of his skin color. The KKK have sent him a death threat, so who knows what is possible.John McCainJohn McCain started as an elderly underdog. He has clearly proven himself worthy of the title, Commander in Chief. However, is he too old? Moreover, he has clearly said that he doesn’t know much about the economy. With our economy’s plummet, we kinda sorta need a President who knows a thing or two. Also, what is up with John McCain’s facial expessions. I have never ever seen him laugh or actually smile a geniune smile.
Clearly, none of the presidents are perfect, but I guess we should pick one that we feel reflects our beliefs. Stay tuned, fans. Starting tomorrow, I will bring up an issue a day and give their positions as well as MINE =]
