New X Men Movie was # 1

So i decided to write today on a article i read in the USA Today, "'Wolverine' gets summer off to a good start". This movie had 35 million dollars in sales across the United States opening night friday. The reason i wrote about this is because i was one of the people that went and seen the movie friday night also. I am a huge X Men fan and ill be honest i really was not that impressed. I just wish the movie would have been a little more logical to go along with the other movies. Will it be a movie that i buy and put in my dvd collection to add with my other X Men movie? yes it will of course but would i suggest to others to go see it and spend the money not really wait till it comes out to rent it i just not seeing how it could be number 1.

Swine Flu Outbreak in Mexico

Just when you think you heard it all. I read today in the New York Times, "Mexico May Isolate Patients With Deadly Swine Flu Strain" it just simply amazes me how many animals transport diseases from themselves to humans. It really makes you stop and think how exactly humans get this and how amazing it is how it spreads so quickly. People in Mexico are alarmed already 68 people killed and and over 1,000 people infected they are closing schools and have cancelled many public events. people are taking many procautions to protect themselves from this disease and they are wearing face masks and not shaking hands or kissing eachother on cheeks which is a custom in the hispanic culture. They said that this disease is now leaking into the United States so we need to be careful and they are urging to not go visit mexico, so with the summer time coming up folks and you are thinking about going to mexico you might want to re think that twice.

Didnt I just talk about this the other day?

As a result the other day i did my persuasive speech on not useing cell phones while driving today in the USA today i found a article called "Houston driver to face charges after death of 5 young passengers" where a 32 year old man was intoxicated and was using his cell phone when he hit someone killing 5 people. Needless to say this makes me sick to my stomach i think cell phone use is horrible while driving since i did my speech but to be intoxicated while doing it this jerk was just asking for it, and yes he is still alive unlike the 5 people he killed and yes they are charging him with it at least some type of justice was served, it just floors me how ignorant people can be!

MTV is trying to reach out to young kids

I read today in the New York Times "Make Room, Cynics; MTV Wants to Do Some Good " it is about 4 people who are making a reality tv shows that are trying to help kids instead of doing the same old show on mtv about pranks or dating someone i thought this was really awesome because it talks about Nick Lachey and rapper T.I helping kids who are struggling they are making these shows to show that MTV arent only about other stuff. To be honest with you i barely watch MTV because i think all the programs are a waste of time but now they are going to be putting these type of shows on i think its awesome and i would love to watch something like this i just hope other stars and reality tv shows take this into consideration because i like to watch something more real life versus something that is fake!

Scientists work on drug that can effect memory

I read today in the New York Times a article called "Brain Power, Brain Researchers Open Door To Editing Memory". I thought this article was really cool they are now testing the chemical on animals and feel that the drug will have the same effect on people they are hoping that this drug will help block those long term memorys that people suffer with due to tramatic events and help those people get over those memorys. I thought this was interesting due to the fact that some people hold onto those memorys and really have a hard time moving on in their lives, could you imagine having something that you have held on to for so many years, and let that memory effect your life and then all of a sudden it would be gone, im sure we all have things that we would like to forget but i thought this was very interesting, and i would love to see how this would really change a human being.

Girl is Free on Bond from Killing Local Sioux City Boy

Ok so i know i am supposed to venture away from the Sioux City Journal and all but i read the article today on "Teen to change plea in fatal shooting." 16 year old Ryan Blanchard was killed in a RiverSide Home on August 11. Codie Kapuan was charged with the killing of Blanchard and she plans on changing her plea that she had already said she was not guilty. I also read that she is out Free on Bond, so this is the part that really pissed me off, how can someone who takes someones life be out on bond? seriously that girl and yes i know she is only 16 but she needs to be locked up and not have the option of being out considering she took someones life. I hope this girl gets life in prison and Blanchards family gets the justice that they finally deserve.

Clinton Wants Tougher Laws on Drug Cartels in Mexico

I read "U.S. Demand Feeds Mexico's Drug Trade, Clinton says" this article really focused on the drug cartel that is sent through from mexico into the united states and how dangerous it is. Hiliary Clinton states how she is planning on working with the Mexican Law Enforcement to provide them with equipment they need to help arrest these people that are doing the illegal drug trafficing to the United States. I agree 100% with this i believe the drug situation here in the United States has really gotten out of hand. This country is dangerous and from being a past drug addict and in recovery I am glad somebody is doing something to help prevent the drug problem so go Hilary Clinton, and i hope this cuts down on the drug problem in this country.
