New Orleans

I had no time to blog this week...but I did want to blog a little bit about New Orleans. I just dont understand how a city like this can exsist in the United States. There are literally no laws. I could do anything short of murdering someone and get away with it. It is such a beautifully corrupt city. There is corruption at every level. It is alarming how corrupt it is. There were cops drinking beer in there patrol cars and there were live sex acts with their doors open to the public at 3 in the afternoon. This is just my refelction on a great city that I am ready to visit again. Ohhhh on another note, the media has done a terrible job portraying this city. Whenever they cover activities that happen in the city, and they show the same picture of the city under water. THe convention center says that they get professionals that call on a daily basisasking if the city is stil underwater. The media needs to cover the city in a truthful way.

The Other Boyln Girl

Pulled straight from the laws of power... natalie portman charecter utilizes those laws to manipulate those around her to get what she wants from them. much like i thought however, the laws eventually back fire on her and she ends up lonely (dead) and powerless. she did however use the laws to get to the power status that she wanted. just another example of how the laws can be applied.

Piracy...whats the big deal

Why is piracy such a big deal? People still go to the movies and still buy cds. So there are a bunch of peoeple that download them illegally, but during the 90's people made mixed tapes from the other tapes that were bought, but since people dont buy records anymore its probably not going to be the same as it was then. Back to the movies, people will still go see movies in the theatre and like jake said people are mainly watching those movies online because they are free. So these artists need to get off their igh horse and start making music and movies people want to buy and go see!!!!
