Movie- High School

I just saw this movie about a week ago with my boyfriend, and I would have to say it's a stupid comedy movie. I did laugh, but I also couldn't believe that I was actually watching it. It's more of a guy type of movie, and a stoner or ex-stoner movie. They can relate more with the feelings.
This movie takes place in a medium sized town high school. The day before Matt Bush, who plays Henry Burke is about to be elected valedictorian he takes a hit of chronic for the first time in his life. His principal, Micheal Chiklis, decided to make the whole school, including faculty to take a drug test, whoever doesn't pass this test is immediately expelled. Henry can either take the test tomorrow and lose his scholarship and everything he had going for him, or he can team up with Sean Marquette, who plays as his stoner friend, Breaux to do anything to get these drugs out of his system. They decide to steal a high powered ganja, who is a law student that turned into a drug dealer, Psycho Ed, who is played by Adrien Brody, and spike the school's bake sale brownies. They end up getting the whole school and faculty stoned out of their minds. The higher, and higher that everybody is getting, the more Psycho Ed is getting angry at them for stealing his stash of ganja. They must find out a way to give back what they stole, and make sure their whole plan doesn't get destroyed.
The actress and actresses did a good job acting in this movie I thought. It's pretty hard to act stoned out your mind and make your eyes and things look like it. Psycho Ed and his friends were really good with their acting, but I don't think the principal was a very good actor. He looked more like a funny guy than trying to stern and crack down on people with his serious face, but he still had a certain smile to it. Everyone else in the movie, I thought did a pretty good job at acting high. Their cries weren't fake, and the things that it showed they saw, they were really good at imaging that that is really what they saw.
I pretty much liked the whole movie. Every part of it was humorous, but the serious parts of the movie was also good. The time where they were stealing the ganja from the drug dealer, it was my favorite part because it was suppose to be so serious, but it was also pretty funny.
The main purpose of this movie, does not have any morals really to this storyline. There's nothing really to learn from it because they got high, did their plan, paid the money back, and everything turned out okay.
I think everyone will like this movie. All groups of people would. I don't think older parents would like it because they don't want their kids to try it out. But it would always make everyone laugh and maybe even bring back old memories. This is a rated R movie. I would give it *** stars.

the music review on Jason Aldean new album called night train is a really good choice of songs but it was really risky to but all the songs he did on it. This album being only his fifth on he has ever made his tracks ranged from a hip hoppy tribute to a 90s country artist  joe diffie that will make you chant joe, joe. 
Jason Aldine Williams (born February 28, 1977, in Macon, Georgia) is an American country music singer, known professionally asJason Aldean. Since 2005, Aldean has recorded for Broken Bow Records, an independent record label for which he has released five albums and sixteen singles. His 2010 album My Kinda Party is certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of  america(RIAA), while his 2005 self-titled debut, 2007 album Relentless and 2009 album Wide Open are all certified platinum. Of his singles, eight have reached the number one position on the Hot Country Songs charts: "Why", "She's Country", "Big Green Tractor", "The Truth", "Don't You Wanna Stay" (a duet with Kelly Clarkson), "Dirt Road Anthem", "Fly Over States", and "Take a Little Ride". Seven more have reached top ten on the same chart.
one quote form the song night train that is on his new cd night train is,”Bout a mile off Old Mill Rd That spot nobody knows Park the truck and we take off running Hurry up girl I hear it coming Got a moon and a million stars The sound of steel and old box cars The thought of you driving me insane Come on baby let's go listen to the night train Yeah I hope it's gonna be a long one If we're lucky it's moving slow Wouldn't mind if it lasted all night Right next to you on that hill side”
One quote from jason about his new album night train is‘’There are some surprises on there that might raise a few eyebrows, and there's also some more traditional stuff too. I don't like being put in a box, and I think with every record, we've had a lot of variety." "I got to do a cool uptempo song with Luke (Bryan) and Eric (Church), who've both been out with me over the last two years. I love collaborations like that, and I think the fans dig it when artists get together. It keeps it interesting".
i would rate this cd as a 9. this cd has a lot of great songs one it and it has a really good chance of making a one of the top selling albums. no one would be disappointed when they buy this cd because it has all his new songs on it and also some of his better songs that you might not have heard yet.

Obama To Pass Tax Hikes for Wealthy

     Today, Obama called on the House Republicans to immediately change tax rates for middle class citizens and allow a tax hike for wealthy citizens. During this White House meeting, Obama claimed that the tax cut would give certainty to the 98% of Americans and 97% of small businesses that these people need to start the new year. Wealthy citizens are classified as families making over $250,000 a year, who should expect to see a hike in taxes. Also, Obama plans on inviting congressional leaders to the White House to discuss answers to the nation's deficit and debts.
     Obama is doing a good thing for our economy. Right now, small businesses and middle class families need a break. The tax cut will help us in starting a new year and will hopefully get our economy back on track. It is also good to see that Obama is starting his new term right, trying to get our deficit and debts back under control.

RAPE: LA mentally disabled, && Sicko

http://globegazette.com/news/national/arrest-made-in-rape-of-woman-on-la-bus/article_1f47a509-ec84-5e7f-894f-8f4372acf9b8.htmlAn LA man and a 18 year old mentally disabled woman were on a bus in downtown LA on Wednesday afternoon. This man is being accused of raping this mentally disabled woman after he followed her to the back of the bus. A nearby witness tried to alert the bus driver of what was happening but there was too many noises around to hear the voice being carried. The rape was continued for about 10 minutes until the bus stopped. This 18 year old has the mental capacity of a 10 year old girl. After the rape attack she reported what happened to the driver.

I don't know really what to think about this article but apart of me wants to believe that it's true and the other part doesn't. I can see this happening because she is mentally disabled and some people feel they need to take care of their "needs" and this girl would be simple to do it to. I don't believe that he would do it on a bus in front of a lot of people. I also don't believe that the witness who was yelling nobody else on the bus heard her either, or that she was the only witness. There should've been a lot more people on the bus to witness and help especially because it was in the middle of the afternoon.

Buffalo Wild Wings


Buffalo Wild Wings once known as Buffalo Wild Wings and Wreck. Opened in Columbus Ohio when friends James Disbrow and Scott Lowery moved from Buffalo New York to Ohio and could not find a restaurant to satisfy their need for buffalo style wings so they opened their very own sports bar. 

I went to this establishment and had a wonderful experience the atmosphere of B-dubs (as this place is most commonly referred to) is very inviting many games and activities to play as you wait, most tables have a touch screen game system you can play as you wait for you’re food I however noticed that a few of the wait staff were rude and it tends to be to loud so if you have children you might want to think about going someplace else. As soon as we sat down we had someone come over to take our orders, our food arrived within 10 minutes. I personally recommend the honey BBQ and Asian Zing boneless wings I suggest that you don’t purchase the Mango Habenero wings They are gross imagine biting into a flavorless wing covered in goop that tastes like a spicy orange. B-dubs is a great place to go if you’re in the mood to watch sports. The whole inside of the building is covered with HD televisions, where you can watch any sport you can think of.

They have a large selection of wings and entrees their wing selection consisted of Salt and Vinegar, Sweet BBQ, Teriyaki, Parmesan Garlic, Chipotle BBQ seasoning, Honey BBQ, Buffalo seasoning, Spicy Garlic, Jamming‘ JalapeƱo, Asian Zing, Desert Heat seasoning, Caribbean Jerk, Thai Curry, Hot BBQ, Mango Habanero, Wild, and Blazing. They also have a large selection of Burgers, Juicy Steak Burger, Big Jack Daddy Burger, Screaming Nacho and many more This is an restaurant where no matter how many times you go you can always try something new.

We had ordered the fried pickles for appetizers which were crunchy on the outside and very juicy in the middle, they come with the choice of ether Ranch or South West Ranch. The Boneless Wings were very juicy and generously coated in one of their many sauce choices. The inside was 100% white meat chicken and steamy. However I did notice that the hotter wing styles tend to just be hot with no taste to them so basically you are paying 20$ just to burn your mouth, I personally have better things to spend my money on. The waitress we had was very nice came over many times to make sure we didn’t need refills or anything else, she didn’t get a single thing wrong with our orders no matter how exact or specific we were, to how we wanted our food prepared. So if your looking to have a fun night with you’re friends B-dubs is definitely the place to go.

Product Review: Sticky Critter


The sticky critter is used to pick up hair and allergens and other nasty materials on your living space. This product is a long white stick, with a vibrant green roller at the end. The stick extends as long as a tall mans leg. All you do is roll it on the floor or furniture, and it picks up all the dauber, wow! What an amazing phenomenon. It is a reusable product, all you do is simply wash it off, with cold, hot, or medium temperature water. Even soft, or hard water, whatever you choose to do to wash your Sticky Critter, the job will be done! Let it dry, make sure it’s fully dry and properly sticky and go again! What an experience! You should purchase this product because it is an easy, simple, flabbergasting mechanism used by my hotel, and many pet owners daily. The rolling action makes it easier than picking up the random particles on the floor or dirty, dirty furniture in one simple, slick and easy motion. Anyone with pets, or hairy husbands are highly recommended to use this device! You will be amazed by the quality and outcome. This roller is for the less fortunate or broken hearted who do not feel like taking time to pick up messes with their bare hands. This roller is used by simply placing the sticky roller at the end, (where the stick ends) and rolling on designated spot. With a simple roll, the magic begins. Roll until the desired spot, is indeed spotless. Once used, all you have to do is rinse off the end with a simple stroke, easy as that! Let the roller dry and let your little experience start all over. The bad things about the Sticky Critter are that if you roll while wet, nothing is accomplished! You simply are making a bigger mess. If you are intelligent enough though, to let the Sticky Critter dry, which takes less than 2 minutes, then you will have an experience you will remember for the rest of your lifetime. Many people say the Sticky Critter, “Changed my life forever.” -Briana Rottinghaus. “Makes things easier, swifter and an amazing quality you cannot get back!” - Jamie W.  If you do not enjoy getting on your hands and knees to clean your loved ones messes, this product is just screaming for you to buy it. Elderly people, who cannot bend over love this product, making it not just easier on your back, but on your heart. Lazy children may even develop obesity because of the simply work they have to do while using this amazing product. There is not one scrap or hair left behind when you use the Sticky Critter. Not one product compares to the high quality and gleaming review that the Sticky Critter lets you experience. Other products such as Swiffer Sweeper and lint rollers just do not do the trick compared to this amazing deal. If you are willing to have a lifting life experience I recommend the Sticky Critter.The Sticky Critter costs as little as $10.49, what a deal! You can order this product online or at your local Sticky Critter supplier!   -Mikayla Engels

Jason Aldean

Jason Aldine Williams, professionally knows as Jason Aldean, has five albums and sixteen singles out. His recent release was Night Train about one month ago. He is a country music singer who has impressed the lives of 
American’s, by coming from a small town with nothing, to becoming a famous singer. 
Justin Weaver sings with him, Michael Knox is his drummer, Kevin Neal is the violinist, and Lawrence Mathis plays guitar and the keyboard. This group has been around since 2005. His new album that was just released, Night Train, is so like Jason Aldean’s music. The whole album talks about what it’s like to live in a small town, what it’s like to be on the road in front of crowds singing every night, and what it’s like to live in the bigger states, as in California.
“She wears the pain, black tears, fallen down, from the eyes of an angel in a sinner’s town. She reveals, and they all cheer, then she cries black tears.” Those lyrics would be from a bigger state’s. “It sure left it’s mark on us, we sure left our mark on it. We let the world know we were here, with everything we did. We laid a lotta memories down, like tattoo’s on this town.” That song would be about small towns. “Singin, Here I go, Down this road, another town, another state, I wouldn’t have it any other way. All I want, is to sing my songs, hearing that crowd, keeps me goin, guitars rockin, wheels rollin.” That’s about his life on the road and how much he loves it his fans and doing concerts, he would never want to change that. 
After I listened to his new album and his other albums, it really makes me and others think about how great small towns really are and what we should do to enjoy them and make the best of them instead of wanting to leave and go to a bigger city right away when that’s not always the best choice to do. If I could compare any other artist to Jason Aldean, I would have to say Luke Bryan is most like him, from the songs he sings about, to the small town guy he was back in his younger days. 
Ratings on Jason Aldean have all been 10 out of 10. They say he has a lot of energy on stage, he sings very well, his opening acts are amazing, and the don’t have to wait too long in between the opening act to the time that he comes out, or the different artists that are singing at the concert. I think fans will be happy because he is still good with his ratings, and criticism is not high for him. 
Jason Aldean is a great Dad, good song writer and musician and I hope that he will continue this career, have more concerts and more albums soon that will be very popular. I hope his career doesn’t die down anytime soon.
