Health Care Reform

What is good about this bill they have been trying to pass for so long? Well I can say that if you are a person without health insurance you will no longer be declined for it ever again. Over 30 million Americans are without health insurance and will soon be able to get it. Doesn't that sound like a brilliant plan? Parents will be able to keep health insurance for their kids until they are 26, which isn't really a change that I know of. This bill will also give medicare to the people who are just less fortunate. What could be wrong with this plan?

Well for one this bill is going to cost $1.2 trillion which will make our nation go into to debt way more. There are many out there that still do not know what this bill is all about. I will admit I am a little lost myself, but I think I understand it for the most part. A big thing, well too me I think it is big is that I think there will be some out there that don't want this and don't want to pay for health insurance, but they are without it now and going to have to have it anyways and will be fined. Are they actually going to pay this fine for the health insurance and deal with it or are they going to blow it off?

This is not the brightest idea to do for America, but I think it might get us somewhere. I already have health insurance and am covered well. I don't have to worry about much and that is probably why I am not worried about this bill much and don't worry about learning more about it. It doesn't really bother me. You want to know where I am getting all this information about this health care and the good and the bad then click on the following link by clicking here.

Also with this health care reform there has been a lot of arguements between the Republicans and Democrats. If you look on this link (click here) you will see exactly what I mean. The article is in favor of Barrack Obama who is a Democrat and Obama is for the Health Care reform of course. The article talks about what Obama did in the House after the bill was signed. If you look at the bottom of this page though you will see where someone is ticked off (obviously a Democrat). He is going off about how Republicans can not run this country and never have been able to and gave lots of examples from our history for when a Republican was in office.

Here is an extra article that I really enjoyed reading and got into. It is about this Health Care thing but what I got into is the comments at the bottom of the page. I suggest you read it. I finally found some interesting political stuff. =] Click here

Interesting.. but is it true..

Actresses winning the Oscar award.. and then splitting up.. Is there a curse for these females. Or are they just making up some bull to get everyone all worked up. I think it may be just a bunch of bologna. But it gets me thinking when they say for the past 9 or so years every celebrity actress that has won an Oscar split up with their partner short after.. So is there a curse? What do you think...?

Well here is some possibilities.. of the "YES" it is true.

The guy of the girl got jealous and ran off or the girl just brought it up so much and was too proud of herself that the guy got annoyed with it and ran off. But in the case where it is the other way around... The girl winning the award thought it was everything she has ever wanted and was really happy and ditched the guy.

That is just a bunch of bologna too.. but I am guessing you want to know why this was brought up. Well it happens that Sandra Bullock got the Best Actress Oscar and soon after she split with her husband Jesse James. For the past year the same thing has happened with the other winners of the same Oscar. But there have been times where it was a couple year after, or just a few month or a week. So I don't think that this curse they are talking is all true at all. I mean celebrities do split all the time. Even after being together and married for a long while they have split. That just seems to be the way our celebs are. Think what you want though.

What will eventually happen with our celebs?

Our celebrities always have something going on with them. There is always some sort of break up going on or someone cheating, others hooking up or lies about them being the boyfriend/girlfriend thing when really all they did was hang out as FRIENDS, but everyone has to take it to the extreme and make it a big deal. There are those people called "paparazzi" taking photos and then they want to find out what is going one and when they don't they seem to make up their own story anyways. Now I am not one of them people. Do not take anything I say literally in this next blog. All I am putting out there is what I THINK is going to happen with our celebrities with in the next year. None of this is really true. I just want my thoughts out there for you to know. Just be sure to tell me if you think the same or if differently, what you think will happen. I want to know your thoughts also if you disagree.

Now to get started let's talk about Brad and Angelina. I have talked about them once before in a recent blog a couple months ago about how there have been stories about them fighting and them breaking up, but they always end up getting back together anyways. Well how many of you have seen the movie Mr. and Mrs. Smith. I feel like their relationship is like it is in that movie. They hate each other so much to the point where they are trying to hurt each other but show some affection. I feel like that is how they are now and how they will end up, but instead one of them will end up murdering the other just to get rid of all the gossip about them. One of them have to soon get tired of this all at some point.

Another topic is Miley Cyrus and her living with her boyfriend. Her dad did let a boyfriend live with them once before. He said anytime that they were in her bedroom the door was to be left open. She has gotten a new boyfriend since that one though and she is going to be turning 18. If the rumors about her moving in with her boyfriend are true I say she is going to end up pregnant in the next year.

Those are a couple of predictions I have for now. There are others, but I can't give away everything at once =]

Who owns you?

It is important to understand who owns the media because everything they do could effect us and what we do. Many companies could own the majority of what you have, meaning that all your money is going to the same people even know you may think differently.

How many of you own a Hannah Montana or Jonas Brother CD? Well the Disney Company owns that. You probably knew that though. You probably also know that they own Disney World, along with a couple other amusement parks and you probably know most of the movies they made also. What you probably don't know though is that Disney also owns US Weekly, ESPN the Magazine, and Talk. They also own the television networks ABC, ESPN (and other ESPN networks), Lifetime and LMN and Fox Family Channel. They own a lot more than that.

They are not the only ones like this. I know a lot of you have probably read Twilight. Summit Entertainment was the publisher of this book. Anyone that hasn't watched Billy Madison is just crazy, but Madison Productions is the owner of it along with many other movies, mainly with Adam Sandler in them. It is called either Madison Productions or Happy Madison. They are an independently owned company.

I watch George Lopez on Nick at Nite. For all of you that do not know what that show is it is on Nickelodeon and is a comedy show. I love it. It is owned by Viacom though which also owns a whole lot of other things. It is one of the Big Ten companies. It also owns MTV, Blockbusters, CMT, BET, and the Movie Channel. Another Big Ten company is News Corporation. They own seventeen magazine and I am sure just about all girls have read one of these or own one or more. It is a pretty popular magazine. Triangle Publication is who published the magazine and News Corp owns Triangle Publications. Other things the News Corp. owns are Fox and FX channels, TV guide, and a lot to do with Dodger sport, including their stadium. They also own Madison Square Garden.

Life with Zadie

Do you ever just randomly keep clicking the "next blog" link the top of the page? I know I do and sometimes I come across blogs that I just think to myself "Why did they even bother?" The other day though I came across a blog page that is not like any other blogs you are probably use to seeing. I really enjoyed it though. It is called Life with Zadie. You can click here to visit it. But before you do that you can read more about what I think about it and what it is.

The blog appears to be a mother that has posted pictures of her little girl ever since she was born. I think it was really interesting and I loved looking at all the pictures. It does really say much except about when the photos were taken and what the event was. I think it is a fantastic blog. I really liked all the photos. The little girl is adorable. I like that they don't have much said on the pictures and don't have hardly anything to read. Just having a blog of only pictures is something different and I like that. It must be hard for the lady to keep up with uploading pictures all the time, but I really like what she has done. There are also a few videos on the page. I haven't got to watch them yet but hope to soon.

There really is nothing I would improve on this page, but if I were to give any suggestions I would maybe tell her to write about some thing great that happened that day. I like the idea of only pictures though. There really is nothing I would improve about her page. I would like to ask her what gave her the idea to post pictures on an internet blog of her daughter from the day she was born and how she keeps up with it.

Twilight = Best book EVER!

Twilight is the best book that I have ever read. In fact I suggest to all of you that you read it right away. This book has everything in it, from romance to action to comedy. I don't see how anyone could not like this book. Everyone but one person I know that has read this book thinks it is absolutely amazing. It really is. I have already got a lot of people to read it and as much as they don't like reading they loved Twilight.

I love this book, and I am also one of them people that do not read much. I can only read a story if it is really good. I made it through Twilight within a week. Most books take me at least a month.

More about Twilight though:
It is a story about Vampires. Out of all the vampire stories you have probably heard of before, like where they can't go out in the sun and the die from garlic, Twilight's vampires are much different. You will have to read the book yourself to find out how. The two main characters are Belle and Edward, and like in any other story they fall in love with each other. Twilight also has three other books to it, New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn. All four of the books are great, but Twilight is the best of all!

Worst Experience in a Fast Food Place

When I was about 7 or 8 my mom took me, my brother, and one of our friends to McDonalds. All of us kids ordered chicken nuggets. I was the first one to start eating and I took a bite out of one of my nuggets and there was black spots in it. I started to freak out and then my brother and our friend ripped open one of their chicken nuggets and they also had little black spots in it. So my mom took the nuggets back to get new ones.

The new ones we got also had the black spots in it. We finished up our fries and my mom took the chicken nuggets back up and I am pretty sure she got her money back also for that. I was scared to order chicken nuggets again from any McDonalds for at least 5 or so years. That is how bad I was freaked out over some little black spots. I get chicken nuggets all the time now though. I think I started getting them again when I so the comercails about them being all white meat and I figured if it says all white meat, it will be all white with no black spots in it.

Tattoo ??

I have actually wanted a tattoo for a while now so if I was forced into getting one I would not care and it would not bother me. I have been wanting to get one on my foot. I don't know exactly what I would get yet. I don't want anything huge or massive that takes up the majority of my foot either. I like them small and simple.

Some ideas I have would be stars, just because I have seen so many people with foot tattoos of stars on their foot. Stars don't really have a meaning to them to me. I just think they look cute. But since so many people have tattoos of stars I been thinking I want something not so common. So then I started thinking about a butterfly or a dolphin. Both are like my favorite things, especially a dolphin being my favorite animal. I also been thinking about a saying on my foot, a short one.

My final decision though as of now is to get my name, Brittany, in fancy letters on my foot with either stars around it or a butterfly on top. I think I am aiming more towards the stars though.
