Is being Hangover Twice better than being a First Class in the X?

The headlines say it all, but would you rather watch Hangover 2 or X-Mean's First Class? The easy part to picking which one fits the mood, comedy or action but the hard part is picking only one to watch. Hangover recently came out with a new sequel, but this time they are in Asia, and have one goal in mind, to find someone. As you might have known already, if you didn't see the Hangover then you'll see what kinda happened to them Again in Hangover 2 but just in a different scenario. As for the First class to help the military against the war in Vietnam.
   Hang over once or twice, isn't it the same story as it was before? Think about it, if you saw The Hangover, you know that there was a wedding and the guys had a bachelor's party in Las Vegas that went horribly wrong as they find themselves in one sticky situation. One lost their tooth, there was a baby in the closet and someone got married in Vegas? Finally they realize that they only have 5 hours to get back to the wedding with the groom, but wheres the groom? But in Hangover 2, once again Stu gets married but this time it was a bachelor's brunch that turned out wrong,again. This time there is a monkey,a permanent tattoo in Stu's face and Stu's about to be brother-in-law is missing. So basically the Hangover 2 has a similar story line to the previous Hangover story.
    Would you be a Mutant with really amazing powers or be a human? You decide, as you take a look back in the first group or "Class" in X-Men. We see Charles Xavier or the professor as a teenager, starting out a school for mutants and teaching them how to control the gifts they bear as trouble rolls in as WW3 is sought to happen. We also see Erik or soon to be Magneto as a young man with the potential power but cannot resist the urge for revenge. Before they were enemies they were allies in the same group to help mankind and their own kind as mutants joined together to help society with their powers. Also show society that mutants are no different than humans and that they can be helpful towards protecting their own people.
    Would you rather watch the funny but same story movie or find out more about what exactly happen in the first class and why Charles Xavier and Erik"Magneto" broke up and became enemies, and watch how the professor started out the school himself as Magneto found his way of getting revenge. I would suggest you watch the First Class than the Hangover 2 because you might never know what going to happen next, expect the unexpected.

From Italy, with Love

Have you ever been inspired by a commercial, movies, shows or a video game, to visit historical places or just to travel in that destination? Well I was inspired to travel to Europe and visit the the places where our wines became our greatest, Italy. I fell in love with Italy because of Assasin's Creed 2, the video game had a wide concept of Italy's historical people and especially, the places.
Italy in a must in your travel city, as I take you into a vitual tour of Italy's peaceful countryside, gladiator era and their romantic canals of love. I'll take you to some of my favorite cities in Italy and should be a must on you travel list, Florence, Venice,and Tuscanny.

Buongiorno....
(Good Day)
Take a good glimpse at Italy's favorable places to visit.
First and foremost, Florence or Firenze, Italy.
Florence the city of beautiful buildings and the history of Italy's from the Renaissance.
If you like reading "The Prince" by Nicolo Machiavelli. He wrote the book while he was in Firenze. Firenze has alot of beuildings still in use from the Renaissance Era, even the cathedrals and towers. Firenze preserved alot of their history through their magnificent buildings like the Cathedral of Santa Maria dei Fiori, and Statue of David. Firenze also include some of the best hotels like San Lorenzo Hotel Globus. They offer a great modern design, ease the old rustic view from the outside. A step out of the timeline and back to the modern times. If you like to eat good food and be fancy while eating then

Chicco di Caffè

is your place to dine in. But they only open at lunch time for this small corner place. There food will make the expensive look cheap and they are, eat like royalty in a common price.

Next up is Venice or Venezia

the love canal in Italy. The canals also provide as streets for the canoes. One of the many things you can do in Venice. If you're a romantic type then you visit Venice for a magical boat ride and maybe be the driver serenades the mood a little bit better. Venezia also invites you stay at some of their elegant hotels like
Hotel Villa Cipro,
a 3 star rating near by the city itself with their great rooms and balconies for a perfect morning coffee or brunch.

Antiche Carampane

is one of Venezia's good restaurants, but there not good for families . This restaurant was created for one purpose, couples.

Last but not least , Tuscanny.

If you want to ignore the modern views or the old buildings or water canals and just like the country side then Tuscanny is a must. Vine yards and acres of different grapes far beyond your wildest dreams. Tuscanny is known for their glorious fields and there never ending grape vine yards. If you don't like the noise then Tuscanny is quite extraordinary. Its like the Vine yards of California but much better and wider. Tuscanny offeres you some of their hotel and restaurants.
Palazzo San Lorenzo
This 4 star hotel just so happens to be one of Tuscanny's good hotels. Such modern designs and comfortable atmoshpere.
La Bucaccia
This restaurant got a 5 star and is a must if you like fine dinning, at great prices. The atmosphere is frieldy and so as the onwner.

Visit Italy with Love and I'll gurantee you will not forget your sweet moments.

Buon viaggio
(Have a nice trip)

Aloha!

Oahu, the most populated place in Hawaii or what others would call the Heart of Hawaii. If you like the oceanic view of the clear waters of Hawaii then this island might be your island. They also like to mix it around with some modern luxuries. Visit the warm waters of Waikiki and enjoy the  

sunsets with the majestic glow of the sun's reflection on cool warm waters.

Explore you're inner self and historical figures in the islands of Oahu.

Maybe you like hiking, then you might like the mountain views of Nuuanu Pali.

Tame the rolling waves on the North Shore, then live it up, restless in the night life in Honolulu.

Maybe taste some of Hawaii's traditional food in Kapahulu.

Honolulu, one of the best places to find a little bit of mystery and culture in Hawaii. You can visit the famous WW2 location, Pearl Harbor. As the American troops "Island hop" from the islands of Hawaii to regain back Hawaii. Maybe visit the Aloha Tower, the famous port of Hawaii and happens to be Hawaii's iconic symbol. Built in September 1926, and had the largest clockwork in the United States and still functions til this day. Hike up to the mountains and explore the mysterious jungles of Hawaii. Have fun soaking up the sun in the beach or the cool waterfalls. Find relaxation and zen in the sweet blissful breeze from the amazing oceans of the Pacific Ocean.

Shake Shack =]

Shake, shake, shake shack, thats right it's Shake Shack. One of my favorite places to walk in for some good grilled burger right here in the Big Apple. Shake Shack is made of 100% authentic black angus burgers thats all natural. Nice thick cut tomatoes, lettuce, cheese, pickle and onions, if you want them. It might look like you're average home cooked burgers, but the flavor is packed in a bite and ready to punch your stomach and blow your tongue out kinda feeling. You can have the single or double up for those yummy burgers. They also have cheese fries, melted cheddar cheese on their crispy fries. I personally like their Black and White shake. It taste like Oreos but creamier and chilly. I was blown away with their Shroom Burger, this burger is made with deep fried cheese and mushroom filling. Theres a lot of reason why the Shack burgers are amazing, but the ultimate reason would be their, secret saucy that makes it the piece of perfection or the heavenly burgers.
Shack Burgers -   Shroom Burger - 

Shake Shack had the fun and friendly atmosphere, the kind thats make you welcome to order the way you want your burgers to be. They will guarantee you that you'll always come back for more.
Shake Shack is the Best!!!!!!

3D Art

Maybe see something and something changes or colorless. Some people like to express it through a small game called Sidewalk Chalk and its alot of time and effort to finish a masterpiece. Like these guys http://www.oddee.com/item_97706.aspx..... Theres is alot of ways for illisions to happen and alot f ways to make art in the most simpliest ways. Sometimes our eyes like to play pranks on us and tshow us something differemt than others. Our senses is different by the way we view things.

Maybe you're an original pranksters with the feather and the whip cream. Which ever way, aslong at its funny,or pain, it's all for your entertainment. You can scare people to see how they react and record it and watch it over and over again. Towards others it looks cruel but to others its funny. Just becareful who you might prank because who knows how it will go? like these pranksters....http://www.oddee.com/item_97585.aspx

Music Speak 101

 Music.....describes who you are and what you're feeling, does it?
alot of teenagers and young adults turn to music as a relief or a treatment to pass time or bad vibes. Music lovers  unite to different types of music. Some people might like Hip-Hop or pop or rock or indie. There is a never ending and on going new genre of music created every year. It could be a mixture of other different genres and combined into one. It all depends on if that type of music catches your attention and you get a good vibe coming from a certain song. You might like Garbage or punk or classical. Theres over 100 genres of music and most of them a now mixtures of one of everything. If you're a sfotie you might like oldie or soft music, something calm and relaxing but if you're into today music you might like hip-hop or pop or alternative. Some people might like dancing so they might be into dubstep or techno or club music. Indie music is the least favored music but this music is like serenity and zen.

Illegal Drugs, Medicine?!?!?!?!

 Thats right, some drugs that are illegal are illegal in hospitals to treat or cure symptoms of sickness. Like LSD can cure additions?,depression and stops headaches too? Psychedelic Mushrooms can cure headaches and OCD?!?!?!?!Ecstasy can reduce anxiety, Ease's Parkinson's and treats PTSD. Who knew that Cocaine can be a laxative, and helps you with motion sickness? Heroin is the only Safest pain reliever ever!!!!!! But since the government banned the drug they hospitals cannot use them even thou they are the only safest pain reliever, better than the pain reliever they already have. Ketamine is drug for animals to tranquilize them, but yet another drugs that can cure depression! Even a doctor wrote a novel about the drug's magic powers to turn a frown upside down. Amphetamines can cure ADHD?!?!?!?!?!?!This drug can also help stroke victims to recover and treats depression and obesity!!!!

Sometimes people use drugs for that "Rush" or "Fly" feeling even though that they have greater value for others who truly need them.

Peepsters

PEEP!!!! CHUBBY BUNNIES!!!! >.<
Peeps.... Marsh mellows ducks and bunnies. Who knew that people can turn them into art or atleast some form of art/boredom....like a Diorama. If you don't like eating Peeps, there are alot of things to do with them like what these guys did to their Peeps. They made thses little marshmallow goodies into a funny and cool creations.http://www.oddee.com/item_97695.aspx.....check it out!
Also really cool home designs like sinks,secret doors,etc.http://www.oddee.com/item_97209.aspx.....people are
very creative these days, like making new things to help us realize how important water is and how to converse it before you kill an organism. Even cool Desk, a fun way to relax or exercise at home while you're in front of a computer!

Hauntings from the Dead

We still don't really know when will the post-photos of Osama Bin Laden's death will be aired or distributed to the public. The president urged not to send them out to the public just yet, for the fear of the photos being gruesome and might cause a new threat to Americans from Al Qaeda.  But the government did study his DNA and match 99% of his siblings DNA's. There was a Reunion of the 911 attack and for the survivors and the families of loved ones who passed on. It's almost 10 years since the attack on the World Trade Center, but a breaking news occurred and spread out  like lighting. It was good news at first then came bad news. This morning Al Qaeda confirmed Osama Bin Laden's death with a statement in the internet, but they weren't done with their statement,as they went further with plans for new threats or attacks on the U.S. They explained how the death of their daring leader will only push them for new ideas for freedom and to shed tears to those who desecrated their lives. There is a rumor going around that Al Qaeda might be planning an attack for the U.S. To make things worst, they said that Al Qaeda might plan to do something on the 10th Anniversary of the faithfully moment on 9/11. 10 years have gone by since that catastrophe and we're still under new threats in the future. When will all this end, not even the death of Al Qaeda's leader slow them down, but only made them stronger to fight back. 

Osama Dead?

I usually talk about odd and fabs but for today something caught my attention. As the title says it all, Osama bin Laden died? some say finally and some say he's still not dead. Many cheered at the fact that war with Al Queda will be finally over.  People rally and chant in front of the WTC as memorial of freedom. Even in front of the White House people were chanting U.S.A. as the crowd cheer for a fatal death of the biggest criminal. He was one of FBI's top most wanted people around the world. They said that Osama was hiding in a compound which only a few soldiers knew about. They have planned their plot for a while now. They suspected that someone very dangerous lived in a compound that denied to share internet or phone lines. Then they figured out who exactly live in that compound, one of bin Laden's brothers. Then a group of specialized Navy Seals were selected to raid the compound, thus killing al Queda's leader and one of his son's.

Music=Life

Can music really help days go by or express moments or feelings. Can you vent out your anger through the calming sound of music to your ears? Music can save someone's life with just the flow of the lyrics and rhythm. Inspiration can come from different songs to make someone become somebody. Many songs come out from different singers or bands. They all have different views in music, life,love,or things etc. But when you're in the mood to listen to different kinds of music then no one is going to tell you you can listen to this kind of music. Sometimes bullying can be the leading cause for teenagers or kids to run away from home these days or other daily or family problems. Most of those teens turn to music to guide them to a brand new beginning and give them hope for a better tomorrow and comfort them and give them the strength and courage to get up from a fallen fight and stand for themselves. Music can change who you are, but most importantly music can save you from who you used to be.

Japan's Disaster

After the Earth shook twice, after the Tsunami, after the Radiation burst, out comes a new problem hitting japan even worst...in their own resources. The radiation contaminated food supply in the farm lands when they produce most of the vegetables needs for Japan's consumers. After the first and second contamination, out comes a new one striking Japan's only source of food. Water, yes it's true Japan's water have been detected of radiation strong than infants can take. after the Earthquake Japan was in dying need for water bottle, little did they know that thee own water was also contaminated. The iodine in the water was too much for the safety for infants to drink or even mix in formulas. But it was not even safe for adults to drink the contaminated water. Tap water and even water bottles are contaminated with the radiation. After the Earthquake people rushed to the stores to stack up for food but it was a little too late for them to know. All we can do for now is hope Japan can get better.

Water Wall

Trapped! Water will drown and swallow anything or anyone on it's way. Typhoons or Tsunamis they have many names but they have one thing in common, they will rise up and destroy anything! CNN News and BBC News are doing all they can to find more videos, survivors and  information of any kind about the after mat of not only the massive earthquake nor the  tsunami and the chemical explosion. After  the tremble and waters washed away, contaminations hit Japan in their own resources for food. Damage homes, hospitals, buildings, survivors are lucky to survive all three attacks but some survivors are losing hopes for finding their missing or could be dead loved one, who were either killed but the shake or drowned and swept ed away. You'll see all kinds of different videos about the disasters in Japan, and all the survivors looking back for their relatives. Here are videos of some of the survivors and new reports http://www.cnn.com/video/.

Stop the Fist

 Bullying is still a big cause in America. Heres a link to a video that will you show you a well-known video of a bully getting bullied.http://www.jokeroo.com/user-content/videos/fail/2011/3/510122-small-kid-tries-to-bully-his-cubby-classmate-but-gets-pile-drived-into-the-cement.html. Karma gets you like a pile driver, or it can also bite you back in the end. This video has been up everywhere to make people aware of the bullying thats been happening across America and also the world as we know it. Bullying can lead to a lot of other things like  suicide or self-harm or worst, another bully. Stand up and stop the harm being caused and if you get in between a fight and get hit, don't fight back just push away and deal with the pain for now and stop the fight and feel better later. bullying doesn't only hurt the other being hurt but also the people who care about that victim and the people around the fight.
Stop the fist.

Bullying Destruction

 Teens and children of all ages, even some adults still go through it. Bullying, a problem that hasn't been solved in ages, or the reasons why it happens. Bullying happens to be one of humanities strangest mystery. We all went through it. Teenagers theses days find ways to recover from long term scars from bullying. We see things differently from others but we can go through similar things in life that connects us. Bullying can cause a lot of things than just scars, it can teenagers feeling depressed,lonely,and abused. It can also lead to one of the many causes of death in america, suicide. Teen suicide is happening in America more often, like the 6 teenagers who gave their lives because of bullying. A lot of things are scar a teenage, like verbal, physical abuse and now bullying reached the internet and cyberspace. Bullying became one of the most cause of deaths in U.S.A. Like the 5 gay teens who committed suicide for being different. When people say that their Fa**ts well, they are the neglected and ignorant bullies who like to bother others for being different to make themselves feel superior. Being different is not a bad thing, when others bring you down, don't ever think you're alone when someone else out there is going through it too! If you wanna read or listen to what other teens went through or witness you can go to http://us.reachout.com/bullying. this site will show you other teens that go through a daily basis of bullying and other problems. When it comes to bullies, there will always be a light in the end of the tunnel and friends to come by.

P.S.- You're never alone!

Tipping Strangers?

 When you walk in the streets and see a person wearing a turban,would you immediately think there a terrorist? Would you judge someone for their background,beliefs or even their color. I Believe that everyone is different but we can't assume that a certain group of people are bad people. We can't always assume that someone is this or that, or we might be assuming for the worst to come. Recent news from Ny Daily News, about  Representative Peter King's announcement about Muslim communities and terroristmm???Peter said that some Muslim communities don't inform the FBI or any  cops about their on going busy communities. Peter said all Muslim are the same and that they are terrorist, keeping secrets all to themselves. Peter  want the safety for every Americans but his racial argument made a "buzz kill" in safety. Cops and other agents agree that Muslim's communities like to keep things but never be racial. Peter King's assumed that all Muslim's are bad people and are terrorist.

Would you ever assume someone for being different?

Teens Speak

 Premarital Sex, What comes to your mind? Is it right or wrong? You decide and you tell the world what your opinion is. To inform you why premarital sex is right and wrong. There are alot of reasons why Premarital sex is right and wrong at the same time. Surveys have been taken by teens themselves to decide, then studies were proven wrong and right in some cases. Sometime Premarital Sex is wrong because in some religions,sex before marriage is a sin and we are encouraged to wait til marriage. But in other point of views, some adults said that Premarital Sex is okay as long as you stay with one partner through out your entire life with just one spouse to be adn partner in life to be. Some teens said that Premarital Sex was okay if you "love" that person, but in reality in some cases sometimes we think differently about things and realize that we were wrong. Thats the tricky part about teenagers these days, love is not real,you might think it is but its just an allusion for now. But studies proved that more teens have been waiting longer to have sex. You decide, you speak.

Stop the fist and save the animals

 Animal abuse,neglect and cruelty are always there in every part of the world. Some countries even eat them as snacks. In china they find stray dogs then take them to the pound then kill them and cook them. Sooner or later they would eat the poor dog. This topic was brought up because of this story of a  small defenseless dog who was beaten to death but it's own owner. The owner was "supposedly" angry at the dog, but sources say that he was angry at something else and took it out on the dog. The dog suffered trauma and was euthanized.

Japan's Latest

Japan is introducing a new Android that can change the way we look at other smart phones today. Japan is going Global, with new adroids and smart phones to out stock the  new Iphone. Japan cell phone industries are doing there best to make it globaly with the help of google. They are in the verge to make the first  sleek device with a high-resolution touch screen, that bloggers are craving for. NEC introduced the world’s thinnest smartphone. It comes with digital terrestrial television and a 5 megapixel camera. To find out more about this report visit, http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/03/business/global/03android.html?_r=1&ref=world.
Thats all for now, til next time in the future.

Japan Phone Makers See Opportunity in Android

TOKYO — Japanese mobile phones are a gadget lover’s dream. They double as credit cards. They can display digital TV broadcasts. Some are even fitted with solar cells.And yet, for all their innovations, Japanese-made handsets have had little impact overseas. They account for just a sliver of a global mobile phone market dominated by the likes of Apple, Research In Motion and Samsung.

But now the Japanese phone industry hopes to go global — by adopting Google’s red-hot Android mobile operating system.

“We have the technology to compete in the United States,” said Naoki Shiraishi, who led software development for a new line of Android smartphones from Sharp, the largest Japanese cellphone maker. “It’s finally time for Sharp phones to go play in the major leagues.”

Sony Ericsson, NEC and Kyocera are among the other Japanese handset makers also betting on Android as their path to international sales.

While Android was initially overshadowed by the populariPhone from Apple, its user numbers are now soaring. In 2010, global sales of Android phones reached 67.2 million units, ahead of iPhones, which sold 46 million units, according to the research company Gartner.

And Sharp, clearly hoping to edge onto Apple’s iPad turf, has introduced in the United States a lineup of tablet computers running a version of Android — the sort of competition Apple is hoping to stay well in front of with new versions of the iPad like the one it introduced Wednesday in San Francisco. For the Japanese phone makers, cashing in on Android’s popularity will mean learning some new skills, like marketing, while unlearning some old habits, like paying too much attention to the hardware and too little to the software.

Because Japan’s phone industry remains highly fragmented, no company so far has been large or savvy enough to make a strong overseas push. Instead, handset makers have long been content to serve as suppliers to Japan’s three largest mobile networks, which command a market of more than 100 million users, most of them on advanced 3G networks.

And in their hardware fixation, Japanese manufacturers have tended to bog down their handsets with clunky software platforms and fenced-in Web services that do not emphasize downloads of third-party applications.

That has put them at odds with the trend in much of the rest of the world, where attention has swung to devices like the iPhone, which runs software much as an ordinary computer does and lets users download apps from independent developers.

In fact, the success of the iPhone in Japan — together with Apple’s popular App Store, with hundreds of thousands of applications for download — has opened eyes.

“Japanese companies have been so pioneering in many fields, but they have failed to build a global business” of handsets, said Gerhard Fasol, chief executive of Eurotechnology, a Tokyo firm that advises companies on global mobile and telecommunications strategy. “What you need is a global infrastructure,” Mr. Fasol said, “and Japanese handset makers have nothing.”

Global scale is what the Japanese hope to build with Android.

Certainly the price is right: Google offers Android free to manufacturers. And Android has caught on since its introduction in 2007, as a growing community of software developers has written apps, sold via Google’s Android Market.

It took a while, but Japanese handset makers are now rushing to introduce Android devices, each married with cutting-edge technology. That includes Sony Ericsson, which dabbled with other platforms like Symbian and Windows Mobile for its high-end Xperia smartphones, but has used Android for its latest models.

And just last week, NEC introduced what it said was the world’s thinnest smartphone. At 8 millimeters thick, equivalent to about four stacked nickels, its Medias N-04C runs on Android and also comes with an electronic wallet function, digital terrestrial television and a five-megapixel camera. Although the phone is for sale only in Japan for now, NEC is planning an overseas push, focusing first on Mexico and Australia.

Another Japanese manufacturer, Kyocera, is planning soon for the United States release of an Android-based smartphone that comes with two screens, capable of running separate apps at once.

Sharp, for its part, intends to start with the fast-growing Chinese market, although officials say they also intend to bring phones to North America. Most global operators are preparing to use advanced LTE networks, which could make it easier for the Japanese phones to work on networks anywhere.

Bloggers

Hey fellow bloggers, today is star struck I'll be talking about inspiration. Inspiration comes from the soul and from the heart. Poetry, music, art,etc. anything you can imagine of will come by an inspiration, sometimes it's love or a friend that inspire you to do anything. Sometimes its the bad things that happen to you or witness that give you inspiration coming from a broken heart or shed of tears will be an inspiration in the end. Like in P!nk's new song Perfect, which shows a girl's portrait of her life and reflecting on the things that happen to her in her life. She was bullied at first, then criticized, then judged for being different or fat. Then she finally gave up then thought to her self that there is good coming and found the love for art. Then the birth of inspiration came to her  and brought her to her new life. in the end she passed along that gift to her child that she is forever perfect just the way she was. P!nk showed not only inspiration in her lyrics but also in her music videos. Thats all for now in Starstruck Planet til next time.

Michael or aka Mikey in shoter terms, was born in near by Brooklyn,New York. He was born on dec. 3 1987, at 23 years old he is living his life like any young adult would. Former ex of Kristen Stewart or Bella from the Twilight Saga Movies who is now with Robert Pattinson. The 23 was stared in a few good movies like The Forbbidden Kingdom with Jet Lee and Jackie Chan as they tagged along to help the kingdom from an evil dictator and to rescue the Monkey King(Jet Lee)and restore balance. He was also in Sky high as a teenage or a freshmen. Trying to find his true powers from his famous super hero parents,he later on experiences that not only he has his father's power but also his mother's,double the pain and power. Then we also remember him as a small skater boy named Sid in the move The Lords of Dogtown,then later on having cancer and bringing the whole Z-Boys back together just for him for one last time. He was also in great movies but thats all for now in Star struck Planet and I'm here now and gone in a flash.

Portfolio

My best 5 post that ilike working on were Blog numbers 26,27,28,29,and 30. I blog about Celeberties,Music,Fashion,etc. I show pictures of my favorite stars and the new star trends of 2011. On blong number 26 was about The Golden Globe Awards, I blogged about the the celebs that went and their stylish new trends. I mostly talked about the fashion trends of the stars as they made their way through the redcarpet that night. Angelina Jolie got the best dress in The Golden Globe Awards. I felt strong about writing the trends of the celebs but my weakness was deciding on if I should just stick with one celeb or alot of them. Blog number 27 was about celebertie and there baby bumps. I was strong about the pictures i put up but weak on to add more info about that celeb. Blog 28 was about a Fashion Show from the celebs in and who wore the dress, best and worst.  I did good in this blog because i was able to decide who won in my personal view but failed to describe it in letters. Blog 29 was about the cutest couples that attended The Golden Globe Awards. I think I did okay for the the description of the couples but failed to add more. Blog 30 was about shocking news with other celebs. I think I did best on this blog because I was able to describe alot about the idea for the blog but failed to add more shocking news.
