Defending Artistic Honor Through Buying CDs

I used to pirate music, but I have kicked that habit long ago.

It happen a year or so ago when my friend Hope had said she download a Weird Al song that WASN'T on the official discography. Needless to say she didn't believe me when I told her that it WASN'T on the official discography. That and I used LimeWire, but once I shut my computer down, it wrecked my computer.

I'm a fan of Weird Al and that happens to be a beef of his: Songs misattributed to him.

NEWS FLASH: Not all parodies are by Weird Al. You're better off buying his albums instead of pirating music.

Also, buying a CD also help if your system crashes.

Are hymens the new graduation watch? OR WTF? What's wrong with this picture?

From coolvirginity.com: "Abstinence helps to ensure a more successful future, avoid STDs and to avoid possible life-long dependency on the welfare system." (read: Have sex before marriage and you're a failure!)

That doesn't make sense! According to any good gynecologist, the hymen can be easily broken before a woman's first sexual experience. Abstinence doesn't help. The hymen can be broken easily from childhood accidents, sitting funny or anything non-sexual.

Also, the only way you can become a failure from premarital sex is if you get pregnant and have the baby.

Besides, virginity is something that can't be proven unless there is a doctor present and everyone knows not to lie to your doctor. That and that you believe virginity lies within such twisted standards.

This is another thing I'm against: The rather sexist double standard that women aren't allowed to have sex before marriage and they must remain pure, but men are allowed to have sex regardless of marital status and are not considered impure.

I do not want to go back to the days of when it was acceptable to shun a woman like that for having premarital sex that doesn't end in pregnancy.

A fan of "The Sims 2"...

I love playing "The Sims 2" when I have the chance. I do have a lot of free time aside from the exams I take every week on Mondays and Thursday.

That being said, I love making little films out of footage I recorded in the game. I have a LARGE music collection and a basic video editor, so yes, I can do a lot with a little.

I'd Make A Bad PETA Spokeperson

Well, I support the basic rights of animals and I do not condone wearing fur or hunting.

However, I struggle with conditions that render me less of a person if I don't eat meat. I tend to act abnormal without meat because of anemia and similar conditions. I try to restrict meat in my diet as much as possible, eating a mostly grain and dairy diet.

But if I'm affected by anemia or a loss of protein, I must eat meat. It's not a matter that can be negotiated.

I encourage you out there with any health conditions to be aware of them and not to be ashamed of the conditions. You shouldn't be ashamed of such conditions. We're all different.

She's Trailer Trash...

You all have heard about the Jamie Lynn Spears pregnancy. Here are my thoughts about it.

1.) She's trailer trash in the way she's acting.
2.) She should be fired.
3.) The father should be arrested.
4.) Zoey 101 should be cancelled and never seen again.

You think that's harsh? Well, here's the facts.

1.) She's a minor.
2.) She's supposed to be a role model.

We have enough trouble with the many lies in abstinence-only sex education and with the stats saying that abstinence-only sex-ed doesn't work, I'm glad they're phasing it out!

Here's another thing about teen moms: 2/3 of them NEVER finish high school and ONLY 1.5% get a college degree by age 30.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Good Evening!

I happen to be a statistic in the Wii trend. I recently sprained my left arm playing Rayman Raving Rabbids 2. My favorite games within it: Dial R for Rabbids, The Office and Burp.

I found it very amusing and enjoyable. I like the idea of when something look cute but isn't exactly cuddly.
