Gulf of Oil Spill

I think this oil spill put our country in a bad situation and I believe BP and their fuel should be completely boycotted by Americans. They took too long to respond to the spill and were hesitant to spend the billions of dollars they had on fixing the problem. If there was an immediate response as soon as the oil spill happened or started happening then there wouldn't of been this much damage done. I personally stopped making purchases and filling my tank at BP because I don't want to support a company that cares so little about our environment and so much about their riches.

DJ SL33PY B34R HIB3RN8Z


I chose this DJ name because when I was younger my friends would always call me Petey Bear, and I am always sleepy and wish I could hibernate like bears do. If I had it my way, and if my body would agree with it, I'd sleep for at least 2 days for every day that I am awake. But unfortunately, oversleeping makes you even more tired than you were before, so it wouldn't really be that practical of a thing to do.

Ronald McDonald


The CSPI, or Center for Science in the Public Interest, states that "the use of toys is deceptive advertising practices and encourages children to eat unhealthy foods." I agree with this because I believe McDonald's aims a lot of their promotions and commercials at the younger community. The use of a character like Ronald McDonald attracts young kids like no other, but if you include a toy in that meal then you will really have a flood of children. I believe it's wrong for McDonald's to do business and advertise the way they have been over the years.

Save Pit Bulls


A cause that's important to me is saving pit bull's and educating people about the true nature of the American Pit Bull Terrier. A lot of people aren't educated about these dog's, and automatically assume as they've heard that they are mean dog's and serve no purpose. As a matter of fact, these dog's can be the sweetest dog's ever if treated right, just like any other dog. They make great family dog's because of their love for their owners. They make great law enforcement dog's because of their agility and strong noses. Pit's can also make great certified therapy dog's for hospitals and old people's homes. For more information visit:

Woody and Buzz


I haven't seen Toy Story in I don't know how many years, and I've only seen the first one. From what I remember, Woody was one of the OG toys and when Buzz came along he became jealous and tried getting rid of Buzz. Then the kid that owned them was moving from his home and Buzz and Woody got lost along the way. From there they had to work together to try and find their owner before it was too late. As a kid I enjoyed that movie and I think it has a good plot. The previews for Toy Story 3 look pretty good and I might actually go see it.
