Last Blog Post

          This is probably going to end up being my last blog post. I've actually enjoyed having these blogs because I like reading the feedback people have about my posts and also being able to read and comment on what other people write. I think that you can tell a lot about a person by their writing style. 
         This year in English was a productive one because we learned a lot while actually doing reading and work. My favorite part of the class was "college days" because I learned massive amounts of helpful information I know I'm going to use in the future. This year in English was a successful one.

My Sister's Keeper


       My Sister's Keeper comes out in theaters on June 26, 2009. This movie is based on the famous book by Jodi Piccoult. The book is a about a young girl ( Anna) who is not sick but she might as well be. By the time she hits thirteen she has had countless surgeries, transfusions, and shots so that her older sister Kate can fight leukemia that has affected her since childhood. The product of a genetic masterpiece, Anna was conceived as a bone marrow match for Kate. Anna finally decided to challenge this and says she wants to protect her body. This unthinkable decisions may not only tear her family apart but may also kill the sister that she loves.
       The movie looks very interesting because I have heard from people all around me that the book is amazing! I would like to read the book before seeing the movie because usually books are better then the movies. This is definitely a movie you will want to keep an eye on. Not only does it look great but it also is directed by the same person that directed " The Notebook."

American Idol Results


                   The American Idol finale was the best I've seen in a while even though the results didn't turn out the way I hoped they would. There were HUGE stars performing like Jason Mraz, Carlos Santana, KISS, and many others. Kris Allen took home the title. He was known throughout the season as the underdog who made his way to the top. You could tell that his friends and family were very proud. I personally think that Kris was shocked at his win. 
        I think that Kris Allen stole the hearts of many young girls for his looks, but otherwise he is just a good singer that you could hear anywhere. Adam Lambert was funky and different. Adam's voice and rage was incredible and there was no doubt that he is more talented based on solely voices. Some people think Adam didn't win because of his crazy look like his nail polish. Maybe America was after the all American boy Kris but there is no doubt Adam will steal his stage and be highly successful later on in the future!
       I was very disappointed to find out that Adam didn't win but I'm happy to know that he will be successful in the future. He won't be an American Idol that is lost in the wind. We all will be hearing about both Adam and Kris in the near future.

American Idol Season Finale


           So I'll admit that I'm a nerd and have gotten to be a huge fan of American Idol this season. I haven't been actively watching American Idol for years but for some reason this year my mom started watching it each week. After hearing the tv on in the family room and walking past in multiple times I eventually decided to sit down.  Instantly I become intrigued and began watching each week. I think this season is really entertaining because this season has different types of people who perform different types of music. This week is the last week of idol until next season. The two contests left are Adam Lambert and Kris Allen. Both contestants are very talented and either could win. I personally hope that Adam wins it because he is a true showman and different then anyone else that has ever been on the show. No matter who wins, both will be famous and successful. I guess we will just have to wait until tomorrow night to see the results!
             Does anyone else watch American Idol? If so, what do you think about the show this season?

MTV MOVIE AWARDS 2009!


          The MTV awards are taking place on May 31, 2009. I don't know about you but I am extremely excited for this because Andy Samberg is hosting!! Most you know Andy Samberg from SNL, the movie I Love You Man, or from random skits such as "On A Boat" and "Like a Boss." I think Andy Samberg is very talented and a very funny guy.  He will make a great host! 
I also hope to see Heath Ledger win for best villian for the role of The Joker and to see The Dark Knight win for best fight scene. I also hope to see James Franco win for best comedic for Pineapple Express. I think James Franco is amazing! Check out this link and tell me who you want to see win! I will be posting the winners of the movie awards after the show aires.

Ghosts of Girlfriends Past


    This weekend I went to go see a movie with my family for mother's day. We went to see Ghosts of Girlfriends Past. I thought the movie was just going to be ok but after seeing I realized it was MUCH better then expected. It was a fun loving light comedy and I really ended up enjoying it. 
Ghosts of Girlfriends past is about Connor Mead ( McConaughey) who is a big time photographer who usually takes photos of girls in lingerie. Because he is so notorious girls constantly throw themselves at him. In other word Mead is known for being a player. Connor's brother Paul is about to get married and Connor thinks the comittment is a huge mistake. The night before their wedding Connor is visited by three ghosts who take him back to his past, present, and future. They try to discover why Connor doesn't believe in love or settling down. Maybe through his life he can be changed. To find out more I highly suggest seeing this movie!

Ragtime!!! May 6-9


     This week I decided to do something a little bit different. Ragtime the musical is being performed in Cypress Bay's auditorium on May 6-9 at 7 p.m. The tickets cost 7 dollars at the door and 5 if you buy them during all lunches. The show Ragtime is about how different races and cultures interact through a story. The story connects the three groups of Harlem, New Rochelle, and Ellis Island immigrants. The show has great talent and it was a lot of fun making it! A lot of time any money have been put into the show for your entertainment. Also, if you are in AP American you might want to consider seeing the show because there are some historical references. What a perfect and fun way to study for your test on Friday!? If anyone is interested you can buy tickets from me!
