Random Thoughts Last Week

POLITICS:
John Edwards admits he is the father of the love child. BIG surprise! I think it is so sad how he had everyone so snowed during the 2004 election. Even some Republicans liked Edwards and I was surprised when he didn’t go further in the 2008 election. Well, good thing since he is a big fat liar! Guess his political career is over.

I find it really ironic that Obama promised to bring the troops home and to make good said he was taking them out of Iraq as promised…but sending them to Afghanistan. Classic double talk! On another note, my Word document always says that I have misspelled “Obama” and I refused to click “add” to my Word dictionary so it will stop underlining his name in red.

TELEVISION/MOVIES:
My American Idol Review: I was really surprised when they picked a Top 13. I guess they just really wanted Anoop Dog even though he totally butchered “My Prerogative” on the wild card show. The judges would not have been able to explain why they picked Anoop over other, better singers so they just made another spot. I am actually really happy with the Top 13 though. They kept saying for the past few years that it would be “the most talented” American Idol ever…but I believe it this season. America/the judges actually made the right choices, minus Michael and Chris, and I am really looking forward to watching this season. No bad girl country singers!!!! I am extremely excited about Scott and I really hope he goes all the way to the top!!! I know I will be voting for him every week.

There will be a new season of South Park starting Wednesday. Kenny gets a purity ring. I cannot WAIT to see it!

So, Dakota Fanning is going to be in the new Twilight movie. I hate the whole idea of Twilight but I am now convinced that I have to at least watch the movie because I love Dakota Fanning.

SCHOOL:
I got my Midterm results back last week and did much better than expected. I guess no one had time to study because I did not deserve the grade I received. It was such a relief that I didn’t totally ruin my grade and now I hope I can bump it up a little on the final.

So I have finally started my paper and have about 1/4th of it completed. The topic is all over the place and I know I am probably going to go through like 3 drafts of this thing before it is finished. Did you know that Mobile was the first city in Alabama to have its own juvenile court? I am learning so much about the juvenile justice system, which is great because it is what I want to do for a living, but I just wish that I could take a juvenile justice class. They don’t really seem to offer that here. There is one class “Children in the Legal System” and it is taught by the Dean of the law school so everyone takes it whether they care about the topic or not, so it is always full and I can never get in. Considering I only have one semester left, hopefully I will get in for the Fall semester.

MUSIC:
I began a “Music for the Weekend” post last year and failed to live up to what I wanted to do with it. Well, I am going to attempt to return to this weekly post. As I missed getting this post up yesterday as I hoped, the music for the week is The Lonely Island. http://thelonelyisland.com/ It is hilarious! Enjoy the videos on the site. Especially, I’m On a Boat!
