Moore @ MindSay 
Well I have kept quite on Mindsay about how I feel about the economic bail out. And after getting a little more information, talking to a few people (including accountants and one friend that works for the IRS), and then hearing that the House defeated the bail out bill; I felt it was time to open my mouth.
I say good for the House of Reps for defeating the dayum thing! If you didn't know the buy out wouldn't have saved anyone? Including us peons of the middle and poor classes? If anything it would have harmed those of us that pay more taxes in then the rich ppl!
If you think I am shitting, you should have talked to your accountant and made a few phone calls to the IRS. If the bail out would have gone through, come Febuary when the next installment of the bail out was destined to happen, those of us who pay in to taxes and get tax returns would have been ass out! The big wigs and the politicians that wrote the bail out contract had it in their bill that if it came to pass, they would have taken everyone's tax return at next tax time.
Now normally I am not a big Michael Moore fan, but Mr. Moore with the help of MIT Financial Students, came up with a different plan for the same amount of money of the first bail out. That plan would have given each US Citizen 15-20 million dollars apeice. Not couples but apeice. Basically giving us back our own money. Do you know what all of us could have done with that money? We could have stabilized the economy! Those banks who are sitting on bad loans, could have been paid off by those that are paying on the bad loans. The housing market would have boomed! Morgateges would have been paid off, those of us that rent would have been able to go out and buy a house. The car industry would have increased because of everyone going out and buying new vechiles. The Retail industry would have increased with ppl doing home maintanice, buying items they have been needing but couldn't afford, and the travel industry would have boomed also! Not to mention we would have helped to bail out the financal institutions by investing our money. Back bills would have been paid off, increasing business investments of companies that would have seen a windfall of money coming at them!
Instead of helping these super rich coroprate men, they should look into helping the American People. And I have said it before and I'll say it again; I know right were we can get soem extra cash and clean up a budget or two! Take the dayum outragous income that still living Presidents and their wives get and cut it in 3/4 of what it is! They have done their job they shouldn't be getting that much money after the fact they did their job in office. The wives shouldn't get shit! They didn't do anything for our gov't. OOOOOOO they were ambassadors what ever. They weren't on the pay roll they don't get retirement! Same with the preisdential widows! Their ol men made a butt load of money. If they didn't invest it properally not the tax payers problems!
Okay that little rant is over with.:d So I finally put my two cents in on the bail out. I think we the people should get the money to pay off our back bills, our morgatages, and go out and help the economy instead of giving it to the banks that screwed up and gave out bad loans!
Blindness is Don McKellar’s screenplay adaptation of Jose Saramago's science fiction novel with the same title. The movie, like the book, questions what would happen to society if a super bug that causes blindness were to suddenly infect a large urban center?
It starts like this: A man goes blind while waiting in his car at a stoplight on a sunny morning. The effect is bright instead of dark; the man sees only white light. He’s blind and holding up traffic. After some commotion, Thief (Don McKellar) offers to help the man and drive him to the hospital, and he becomes the next character to catch the disease.
The movie introduces more characters before settling on the heroes of story.
Mark Ruffalo plays The Doctor and is the first ophthalmologist to attempt to understand the affliction. The Doctor’s Wife, Julianne Moore soon becomes the vast exception to the rule, and indeed the premise on which this wonderful film hangs; Julianne Moore’s character does not go blind, and yet she suffers even greater pain as she tirelessly cares for the sick, and silently bears witness to the decomposition of society.
It could happen anywhere at anytime - people in Toronto will remember the fear that paralyzed the city during a sudden outbreak of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) in North York General Hospital. Every American was shocked when they heard testimony of the bizarre and horrific occurrences in the New Orleans Super Dome during Hurricane Katrina. Blindness puts human characters in those same mental and moral conundrums where they hate themselves and the selfishness they need to survive.
Actually Blindness goes well beyond those scenarios and into the realm of genuine horror. Those who control the food rise above the others. Gael García Bernal, Sandra Oh, Danny Glover, Alice Braga, Martha Burns, and Maury Chaykin round out this amazing cast of characters. Each story offers a different perspective on the phenomenon.
Blindness reminds viewers of the fragility of modern civilization; this movie depicts the evolution of evil in an unknown, terrifying environment.
Predictably, there was nothing on TV (or at least nothing worth watching), so I punched the "On Demand" button on the remote and surfed through the new listings.
Hmm, License to Wed is up already? Just came out on DVD this week or last week... something like that. Is Comcast kicking things up a notch and banging out On Demand movies as soon as they hit the DVD shelves? Anyway, I heard it got bad reviews, but JKras is cute, so... eh, why not?
Now, it wasn't the most amazing movie I've ever seen, but knowing about the reviews, I didn't expect it to be. And I'm sure it wasn't intended to be the most amazing movie when it was released to theaters earlier this summer. If it's not everyone's cup of tea, fair enough, but I don't think it was any more awful than most summer romcoms.
JKras was, indeed, adorable, and even Mandy Moore was tolerable. Although considering the box office score for this flick, Alli's belief that "everything Mandy Moore touches turns to shit" may really be true. ;)
Oh, and one awesome thing? The intermittant appearances of "The Office" folk. Mindy/Kelly as John/Ben's best friend's wife; Brian/Kevin as a marriage group therapy participant; and Angela/Angela as a jewelry store clerk. Ha!
So, yeah, I liked the movie. I had to go to Target today to return a bathmat, and decided to use the credit to buy the DVD.
Well, wouldn't you know it, but EVERY SINGLE COPY OF LICENSE TO WED WAS SOLD. WTF? It was a bomb in theaters and yet it's sold out on DVD? I asked a sales associate and she was able to confirm the sold out status.
Does this make absolutely no sense to anyone else?

i might as well write whatever i want now, no one's going to read it. i have a boyfriend, ronnie. we've been almost a couple for so long, its finally a relief to just be able to say, "yes, we're going out." instead of denying it and still seeing and hearing the skepticism. he's my best friend, we're always together, and he has a really nice family. i'm really happy about it.
just one thing, i hate it, but its still there. brandon moore. i've liked him since the first time i saw him, before school even started. i was the first one to even talk to him. i had almost all my classes with him, and was talking and almost friends with him- then i got a schedule change. down to only 3 classes with him. he then went and turned completely, fluorescent white popular. as in chasing after the airheads, falling for the girls that are so wrong for him in so many ways. everything he is now, i hate with a passion. just seeing him makes me mad. and yet, if he glances my way, or gets anywhere near making eye contact with me, i feel my face turn a burning shade of red. when he smiles, i smile. and i don't want to. i can't stand his smug, shallow, self-centered disposition. i hate him more than anything, and yet i can't ever seem to get him out of my mind, and i want to be wanted by him.
he's so good-looking its sickening and he's a wonderful musician and athlete. but i still hate him, probably because he's the very image of the one thing i want more than anything and can never have~ popularity. its shallow, i know, and yet i want that confidence, that natural attraction, the glow that so many people have and i will never be a part of. what else can i say?
