Review Kelly Clarkson

Kelly Clarkson’s' New Album "Stronger"

     Kelly Clarkson’s new album "Stronger" was released on Oct. 24th, 2011. If you've had a rough breakup or feel jilted then this is the album for you. This album is about scornful breakups, kiss-offs, venting the hurtfulness, and finding that therapeutic moment. The album is also about overcoming the breakup, becoming stronger, and finding hope in the darkness. This album is different for Kelly; in that she mixes pop music with country music.

The first song released from the album "Mr. Know It All", according to youtube.com, already has been hit 8,657,232 times since Sept. 25th, 2011. According to USA Todays Hot AC Chart, it has already ranked in at the # 3 position on the chart. Other songs expected to do well are Hello, Stronger, and You Love Me. If you want to vent, sing loud, dance, or even cry; give this album a listen. You just might find a song you can relate to or even a song that will get through the rough times.

My Thoughts on Fast Food Nation

My Thoughts on Fast Food Nation

     Reading Fast Food Nation was interesting and informative. I go about my day every day without a thought as to how my food processed and prepared. As I began reading this book, I didn’t think this book would change my thoughts about the fast food industry. The further I got into this book the more I felt like I was changing my eating habits. I’ve begun telling my daughter and mom that they need to change their habits a little. I’ve told them NO MORE HAMBURGER!!!!

One change I’ve made so far: I gave away the hamburger that was in our freezer. I warned my mom’s friends as to why I was throwing it out so if she still wanted the packaged hamburger then she could have it. I’m staying away from fast food as much as I can but I still get an itch to have something from there. I do though at least have something with chicken or fish when I do stop by a fast food place.

Fast Food Nation has made me strongly think about going vegetarian yet, I really love chicken and seafood. If I don’t go completely vegetarian, I will at least still have the chicken or fish. It’s ok though because I don’t really eat red meat that often as it is. I will cut down on chicken and fish as I find out more about ways to eat healthy without eating meat. We will see how I do as the holidays approach because as you know, the holidays are all about good food.

1) My truth revealed 2) How's the semester going for you?

1) My truth: I have had dinner at Jessica Alba's house with her family.

2) Things so far this semester have gone really well. It has been a hectic semester in which I wasn't expecting to be swamped with so much homework. I've managed to keep up but the lack of a social life has been the reason I've been able to keep up. I don't really mind it though except on those occassions in which I'd like to do something besides homework. I'm really enjoying my classes and the classmates that I have meet this semester. I've even got a few old classmates in some of my classes so that makes it even funnier.

     Though swamped with lots of homework; I have managed to get out about a few times. I joined the Theater Club and we are planning a show for March. Anyone interested in being part of the Theater Club can contact Professor Amy Edwards. She's my Oral Communications Professor. What's cool for me is being able to play co-ed softball on Thursday nights. It's been a good way to release any school angst lolololol. I've even gone to LA a couple times to spend time with my daughter which as been great. I am sad though that I haven't been able to spend time with my friend while I am there. Overall though its been a good semester.
