Knicks vs Heat

It has been a long long time since I have blogged but I needed to blog about the Knicks and Heat game on Sunday. I do not understand how the Heat lost. It is obvious that the Knicks wanted the win more than the Heat. Lebron James cost the Heat that win, in my opinion. I love Lebron James but there was 12.7 seconds left and he decides to RUSH the play. The shot clock was turned off, instead of him taking his time like a normal player would he RUSHES the play! I should have expected it from Lebron; he's obviously not a NORMAL player. No disrespect of course. I love the Heat but they really could have done better in those last twelve seconds of the game. Seriously. That game really vexed me.

Oil Spill affecting Wildlife

This oil leak can become disastrous towards the food chain. That's not a good thing at all. Many pictures throughout the media is of birds being covered in oil. However, not only the birds are being covered in oil the fish and other sea animals are affected by this oil spill. The oil that covers the wildlife becomes sticky over time and that can hinder the health of the wildlife animals more. If these animals become unhealthy and are covered in oil what in the world are we supposed to eat? Despite our food issue, the sea animals are seriously in danger. This oil spil can cause limitations on certain animals. For example, the fur seal pups are endangered because they can drown since the oil sticks to their flippers. I feel really bad for these animals because they have to suffer even more and it's unfair to them that they have to go through this struggle. They are dependent on us humans to save them and their habitats. The animals are also effected by this oil because it can cause internal bleeding and ulcers in their stomachs due to ingestion of the oil. My oh my how much these animals have to suffer. I wish I could save every last one of them. Another horrible problem of the oil spil is that it can cause poisoning of the animals that are high on the food chain. If they eat the little fish that have been covered in oil they can get poisoned. Consuming the oil is a dangerous thing to us humans, it is toxic and deadly. Unless you want to die then feel free to eat as many oil covered birds or fish. In conclusion, I think that we all should try and chip in to save the wildlife or help try to save the Gulf. Team up and save our Planet.

Restuarants

Zereoue Restaurant & Bar- located 13 E 37th St, New York NY (Btwn 5th & Madison Ave) . I would try the Cajun Chicken with Frites if I ever went here.

Cabrito- located 50 Carmine St., NY,NY (Btwn Bedford & Bleecker St). I want to try the Posol{s} and the Enchiladas.

Chutney Mary located in Chelsea, London I believe. I would like to try the corn-fed chicken. It seems tasty and spicy and I love spicy food.

Gordon Ramsay in London, England- average meal is $183

Alberto Ciarla in Rome, Italy- Average meal is $113

Old Country Buffet . . .YUMMMM!

Old Country Buffet in Long Island is pretty good when you goo on a Thursday or Saturday. The special is BBQ Beef Ribs and they are GOOD! I went here many times before and the food is good but they tend to serve the same thing everyday. They have specials on certain days of the week, like on Sundays they serve steak and Thursdays they serve ribs. I won't lie, going to this restaurant will leave you satisfied because of the wide variety of foods. However, it depends on your taste in food. They have a big salad bar and tacos stand there as well. I personally don't eat tacos or salads but my family members tried it and they informed me that it was good. One food I would recommend is the bread, it's a special kind of bread, but it's soft and it's just so delicious. Once you take one bite out of the bread it feels as if an angel has entered your mouth and taken over your soul. That's how good it is! When I went to the one in Syracuse on a Thursday for the ribs with my mother and siblings, we had a competition on who could eat the most BBQ Ribs. I lost but boy were the ribs delicious! They were literally finger licking ribs. The BBQ sauce was just so scrumtuous and I was shocked that no one was there. There was a lot of ribs for us. I lost but I lost satisfied. I would recommend this restuarant to anyone who likes to eat and wants to get their money's worth.

Boulder Creek

In my opinion Boulder Creek wasn't really what I expected but it was Okay. I went to one in Long Island and my mother ordered a steak and it came out nasty in her opinion. But their chicken parmesean was really on point. If i do go back that's the only thing i'm going to order just cause it was so delicious my first time. Like every restuarant it has its pros and cons. The pros are the chicken parmesean of course, the service was pretty good, and the atmosphere is comfy. The booths are soo comfortable and the lights are dimmed so it gives off a soothingg mood. The cons are the steak, according to my mom. I would visit here again just to get the chicken parmesean 'cause i think i fell in love with it.

Miss USA 2010

Honestly, there is nothing wrong with the new Miss USA. She's a citizen and she did some things in her past that should not be brought to the lime light. It's typical for the media to blow things out of proportion for no resason. She was a pole dancer and media decides to tell us this just because she's the new Miss USA but this happened about 3 years ago. WHY are we bringing this up now?? I hate when people always have to bring up the past just because someone wins a title. Seriously is it necessary to do this? Why can't the past be the past? We don't know what she went through or what led to her pole dancing. Let's just celebrate with her because she's a very Pretty girl and she must have something the other girls don't have if she won the Crown.

I'm Highly Upset

The Cavs are out of the Playoffs like smh! So apparently Delonte West is umm "A lil Too friendly" with Lebron James's mother. He found out the day of Game 4 & coincidentally his game has not been up to par and I honestly feel bad for him because that's really something that you don't want to hear during playoffs. It causes stress and frustration and playin' basketball with those two is not a good combo. I'm tight the Cavs lost but now Lebron knows he has to leave Cleveland, he even said it ! He said "Cleveland will always be my home & i'll always love Cleveland BUT ....." Therefore that indicates Lebron Shall & WILL be movingg. I don't think that Lebron is goin' to the Knicks & honestly he should either go to the Bulls or the Heat. If he goes to the Bulls & Wade gets traded to the Bulls their team will be unstoppable. If he goes to the Heat with Wade i Still think it's over for the NBA . Seriously who's stopping them ?! But Next Yr LEBRON will have a RING no DOUBT !

Cavs Playoffs

What's happening to the Cavss ! They are really getting me angry with the way they played their last game against the Celtics. They need to pull it together and their next two games they better play better if they trying to make it to championship round. I seriously was annoyed with the way they played against the Celtics, it's like everyone is relyin' on LeBron to do all the work & if he has an off day then everyone has an off dayy. Like seriously is that fair at all ? I beg to differ! LeBRON is a PROBLEM but he can't do everything without his team. It's like the Cavs put Lebron in a tough spot.

Hooray for Hollywood (DailyNews)

Dear Editor,

Clap, Clap for Hugh Hefner! He saved Hollywoods' park that was one highlight in Hollywood. He donated the $900,000 needed to save the park. Oh my what a wondrous thing for him to do. If we had more people donating money like that to positive causes I doubt that there wouldn't be as much suffering as there is today. It's really good to hear that he's actually using his money for a good thing. Even though this isn't an everyday thing, this is a start we, as Americans, should keep this chain going. Help out the world, let us make it a better place.

Oil Spill (Fox News)

Dear Editor,

I don't think that the oil spill is going to turn into a Katrina. Obama still took action regardless of how many days it took. I don't quite understand why you seem to be studying the bad when the overall point is that he took action. In Katrina, Bush IGNORED the situation. And we all know that he was not busy doing something beneficial to the country. Bush was warned before Katrina struck but yet he didn't take action. Don't compare Obama to Bush because I know he wasn't warned about the oil spill before time. Obama took action, Bush ignored it point blank.

Nuclear Wars (NyTimes)

Dear Editor,

I agree with you when you say that if Americans disclose the numbers wouldn't help terrorists calculate the minimum fuel needed for a weapon. I also think that the only reason why other countries make the nuclear weapons a known thing is because they want to make others jealous. Also because they want to send a threat to other countries not to mess with them. I think that's a good thing though because a nuclear war is just pure destruction and no one needs that at this point. I don't think that anyone can take that much castrophe. Let's keep the world peaceful and leave the nuclear weapons out of it.

Letter to the Editor (NYPOST)

Dear Editor,

I think that charter schools should still exist in the country. I mean 'cause there are plenty of parents that don't want to send their kids to public schools but they cannot afford private schools. It's unfair to get rid of charter schools in my opinion. Charter schools are helpful but I dont understand why they would want to cut charter schools. I guess they're just using that as a coy to get rid of certain kids.

I Don't Understand

I don't quite understand the reason why my school, Martin van Buren High School, sucks so much. My school lacks school spirit & I really believe that this is the worst school in New York. So apparantly we have too many fights or incidents in our school that we aren't allowed to support our team members, unless if it's an outside even they dont care really. I still think it's unfair that the students have to suffer in school, no school spirit in High School? How is this any different or how is this supposed to be the "best time of our lives" as people say? In this school kids can't wait to graduate & not because they want to get to college for the college life but because the school sSUCKS! Horrible I cant understand the reason for destroying my school sociallyy..

Blackberry.

I'm wondering why the blackberry is common among these young children now. Wasn't the main point of the blackberry is for bussiness people? Now all of a sudden these kids want to get a Blackberry. Don't get me wrong the blackberry is a pretty nice phone and the battery is long lasting but really what's the hype about it? I'm just sick and tired of seeing these blackberries. It seems like there's no orginality anymore. There's alot of cool phones out that everyone could get but no everyone seems to want to get a blackberry. I don't quiye understand what's so beautiful about the blackberry. There's touch screen phones that have better apps and give you more fun. Seeing alot of blackberrys show the lack of orginality there is in the children society. Blackberrys are seriously overated and like they need to stop this whole blackberry phase it's annoying to me. These kids need to get up on the G1, iPHONE, Or Like other true Smartphones and drop that Blackberry because it's not even as good as people make it seem. People need to step their game up ASAP!

Paris Hilton's Body

So word around the street is that Paris Hilton is shedding more weight than she has. Like seriously though? She is already like 90 pounds and she's losing more weight I do not understand this. How skinny do you want to get though? She's showing ribs now with out even sucking it in. That's pure disgust! She told Access Weekly that she's happy without her boyfriend but they feel that ever since she broke up with her boyfriend, Doug Reinhardt the Hills' star, she's losing weight constantly. She's claiming that that's not the reason but in my opinion that's probably the reason. Females do dumb things because of broken up relationships. A lot of these females are not strong enough to cope with the pain of a heartbreak, & I don't understand why they do stuff like this it's stupid and immature. If you're not strong enough to control yourself when something bad happens like a heartbreak then don't get into a relationship, point blank. Losing weight over a guy, STUPIDITY!

Just Listen By Sarah Dessen

Have you ever read a book that just sucked you inside because it relates to your life so much? This book "Just Listen" has done that to me over and over again. I read it twice and I can't seem to stop loving this book. The cover itself really attracted me to the book, it has a girl listening to an ipod on it. I assumed from the cover the book would be about a female that just gets away from the world by listening to music. Surprisingly, this is what she does and I can fully relate to this. She meets a guy who keeps to himself and he introduces her to a whole new world of music, birds chirping! I'm shocked that someone actually can sit down and listen to it. Don't get me wrong I'm all up for new music and whatever but birds chirping? Sheesh I never knew they made music out of this. It sounds relaxing when you first hear it but after a while it gets annoying. Anyways, in this book the girl gets raped and she just stays to herself because she feels unsafe in the world. She results to music and after a while she begins to tell her story and she realizes that all she needed was someone to be Just Listen. This story shows how important it is to listen to one another because not everyone is happy and sometimes they need someone to talk to.

Someone Like You Sarah Dessen #49

"Someone Like You" By Sarah Dessen is the 2nd book I read by Sarah Dessen and I have to say this was a great book. The main character is a female named Halley and she isbeing exposed to the way of life as you're growing up. Her best friend loses her boyfriend to a motorcycle accident right after she finds out he has impregnanted her. Hallay shows how much she loves her best friend by helping her through her pregnancy and being there with her through everything. This book shows how far the love for someone goes. If you really love that person you'll do anything for them. Hallay meets a guy who doesn"t pressure her for sex until the middle of their relationship. As Hallay says no, the relationship seems to go. She gets into an accident due to her "boyfriend's" anger and she begins to realize that not everything that glitters is gold. When her best friend goes into labor she's right there for her. Hallay shows the true meaning of friendship and she shows how strong she is throughout the whole book. This book is pretty good because it gives readers a message that through everything you have to be strong. It also shows that growing up is necessary and we all have to grow up sometime. No matter what happens in life there's always someone that's going to be there for you. That's why Sarah Dessen named her book "Someone Like You".

Slam by Walter Dean Myers

"Slam" by Walter dean Myers is definately a good read in my opinion. I read this book approximately 3 times. Walter Dean Myers is really a good writer, I enjoyed this book so much I decided to look up other books that he wrote. This book is about an African American male that plays basketball named Greg Harris. He is the star athlete in his high school but he struggles to do well in school. He earns the name "Slam" due to his amazing performance on the court. I adore this book because I play basketball & it shows the struggle many teenage athletes go through with their grades. Many people don't understand that if you're good at a sport without an education you can get no where. This book shows that teenagers need motivation in order to suceed and do well in school. Using sports is a way of motivation for kids but having your parent show their interest and care in how well you're doing in school gives teenagers the boost to do better. Walter Dean Myers shows his point of view through a child's perspective and it gives the book a better feel. This book is addicting and once you start to read it, trust me, you will never want to put it down.

Cavs vs Bulls (Playoff)

Cavs definately went off yesterdayy. Lebron dropped 40 pts! Seriously though? how come nobody can stop this guyy? I dont understand

Playoffs

I'm so hurt that the Hear lost their first playoff game. I had my heart set on the Heat winning. They were leading by i think 15 points & then the Celtics just cut it down and took over. I was so hurt when they won like I really felt the Heat might win this. I need the Heat to win this series between the Celtics 'cause that knocks out the competition foro the Cavs. If the Heat beat the Celtics and the thunder beat the Lakers, Cavs have to take it this year! I'm goin' to cry if they don't take it this year. I need the Cavs to get their ringg this year. But then again I want the Lakers to play the Cavs so the championship game will be exteremly exciting and entertainingg. Hopefully though but we'll see.
