Love

Gossip Girl Tv show

Love. Its a word everyone says weather they really mean it, or if they don't. Sometimes love can make you really happy, or it can destroy you. In this episode of Gossip girl, Blair tells chuck she loves him. For a long time blaire has felt this emotion growing inside of her. I know how this feels. When you really love someone sometimes all you can do is want the best for them weather its them dating someone else, or them destroying their life by abusing drugs and alcohol. Once Blaire told Chuck she loved him, he just responded with "well thats just too bad". Hearing this broke Blaire's heart. Love can be bullshit at times, it can break you, and it can make you just want to cry and cry, but as this is happening it's making you stronger. After a long time of thinking about what Blaire said, Chuck realizes he made a huge mistake and goes back to Blaire...It's not too late. She holds him in her arms as he cries to her and tells her how sorry he is. Blaire is so happy. Have you ever felt that one time when you are so happy that you don't think you could ever be happier and just want to cry? Love has the power of doing that to you. Knowing that he will hurt Blaire, Chuck leaves while she is asleep. Abandonment. Love has that crazy power to do the extraordinary, or the power to hurt people. At the end of the day, Love is that one thing that could either make you or break you. Don't say the word unless you really mean it. Everyone says that love hurts but thats not true. Loneliness hurts, rejection hurts, loosing someone hurts. In reality love is the one thing in this world that covers up all the pain and makes us feel wonderful again.

Colonization

Boddy-Evans, Alistair. "Countries in Africa Considered Never Colonized." about.com 10 Mar 2009 .


Even though africa is a huge continent and there are many different countries and you would think that every part of it would have some sort of civilization, you are wrong. This article talks about how not every part of Africa has colonization or civilization. Some parts are impossible to live in because of the climate, and the surrounding areas. Africa is also made up of clans, who move around from place to place depending on the weather, land, and where the food is at the time. They will travel all around africa to find their next meal and trade items. Having clans in Africa sometimes means that the government doesnt really control them and cant do a legitamate count on the population and where people live.

Global Issue

ROSENTHAL, ELISABETH. "Science Panel Calls Global Warming ‘Unequivocal’." New York Times 3 Feb 2007 8 Mar 2009 .


Global Warming. Everyone knows about it and either they believe in it...or they dont. Everywhere around the world it keeps getting warmer. Weather its from the cars, the builidings, or us, it is happening. Scientists have been doing so much research on this issue that is effecting our whole world. The polar bears might become extinct because of this issue. This article talks about the scientists researching this issue. They found a lot of evidence that global warming is there. Another scientist claims that global warmin is 'unequivocal' and that the cause of global warming is that the human is most likely the cause of this global problem. The worlds temperatures have been climbing since the 1950's and at this rate it might not stop unless we cut down on all our pollustions and find other ways to go through everyday life without so much chemicals that is literally destroying our earth right in front of our eyes.

Holidays

Rhodin, Sara. "From Russia with love: A new holiday to fight population decline." international harold tribune 8 jul 2008 4 Mar 2009 .

There have been so many holidays that have been invented, but this one to me should be one of the most important. This holiday is about family, love, and Fidelity. This is a day to spend with the people you love most. This day is kind of like Edina's 'unplugged night'. On unplugged night teachers arent supposed to give kids homework and not have any activities scheduled for the night. So then the families can hang out together, play games, and eat a family dinner. This night is important because it allows families to get connected and share all the exciting things that have been going on in their life. On russia's Family, love and fidelity day this allows a whole day for people to surround themselfs with the people who care about them most. It can push all the negative things out of your life for just one day and make you forget about your problems and just have a day where you can be yourself and relax and chill with the family!

Bollywood

Mehta, Suketu. "Bollywood Confidential." New York Times 14 11 2004 1 Mar 2009 .

Bollywood movies. Everyone has seen one, and everyone loves them, the indian people especially. One man even says that how could you not love them? You are born with them. They are apart of the culture. Just like us americans have our obsessions with movies, they have them with theirs. They have their own movie stars who they idolize and follow around with paparazzi. Its not just the Indians who love the Bollywood movies, its the rest of the world. Bollywood movies have been seen everywhere and there is a wide range of them also in different languages. Everyone loves the Bollywood movies because they are 'pre-cynical. They say that Bollywood loves to portray ture love, motherhood, and melodramatic. Wherever you go, or whoever you talk to has probably seen a Bollywood movie and loved it.
