SO I need to kill time, my cousin is still not home.. ugh.. lol
Anyways I just finished watching Mission Impossible (yes the first one that came out in 96, when they still used floppy disks and VHS's lol yay!)
I Loved It!!!! Tom Cruise is my hero, at least for now. These are his babies, I love them all.. But I must say that I was dissapointed that Jack (Emilio Estevez) died first =( he was my fave! Besides Ethan.. it was very brutal how they all died in the first 15 minutes of the movie, and why do the frecnh always have to be bad? (Krieger and Sarah)
O well, I must say though, even though this one was great, I still loved the sequel the most. Nothing beats his sexiness climbing that mountain without a harness in the middle of nowhere and the lovely mythology tie on of Chimera and Bellerophon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chimera_(mythology))his hair looked better in the second one too.
I will not mention the third movie, there is no need. Without it Mission Impossible is a perfect series.
anyways, love, yay!
enjoy =)
Hotness at 1:55 -2:00 sigh... why does he have to be crazy?
i love the song too..

School Started!!
Hey all!
I hope that this week hasn't been very eventful, yes school started but who wants to hit the books when Summer is still in the air? lol Well, nothing new in FIU except that I feel so freaking old in GC and I the classes that I need don't end until nine pm. But I'm glad to see old friends, I missed u guys <3 hug!
Anyways what I wanted to talk about today was finances!! YAY!!! As we all know, FIU lowered their online fee from $299 to $199. This is amazing, I have two online classes so i saved $200. Great, now I can buy my Legal Environment book.. yes it was 200 bucks... ridiculous, even online it was like $170 and no one had it because its a new edition. This is a shame how textbook companies overcharge students. Thank jeebus for amazon.com.. four classes worth of books would've cost $700, instead I got them online for $400. Yay! that extra cash can pay my bills =). We should rebel, and not buy books, or burn them.. then we wouldn't have hw.. who's with me? lol
O and my sympathy goes out to everyone who was dropped from their class six hours before the start of the new school year. That was ridiculous, Financial Aid should fix their scholarship reevaluation system or let students know when loans don't fall through. I'm glad most of you got your classes fixed and I hope everything is running smoothly.
Anyways I ran out of thoughts because I was rudely interrupted by someone who wanted a party kit.. ahem.. lol Good luck in school all and I hope u can afford ur books.
<3

I cannot believe this...
I just saw on TMZ that apparently, the Jonas Brothers have been compared (alot) lately to the Beatles.
wtf..
What type of ridiculous statement is that? yes... lets compare a group of prepubescent untalented boys to the most magnificent band in history that changed the world with their style of music, their lyrics, and their political views.
Recently a picture was taken of the Jonas Brothers leaving their hotel in Virginia Beach, the picture IS very similar to the cover of Abbey Road but I'm pretty sure that a group of people walking across the street also looks similar to these timeless giants. I am in shock that comparisons can stoop so low. Jonas = Beatles is like saying Zac Efron = Elvis

CD's - Dinosaurs
CD sales have been plummeting ever since the age of illegal downloading dawned in the early 2000. Unfortunately, many retail stores and chains, such as Walmart are getting rid of their music section. I think this is so sad, it's the end of an era kind of like when we were told that Pluto is not a planet anymore.
Just like the new non planet, CD's have been around since the mid 80's it is a shame that their reign was only during our generation. We will be the last to remember the joys of buying a new CD and bringing it home just to be tired of over playing it three hours later. This experience will die with us and that it sad =(.
"I see it as a generational shift. A new batch of kids -- i.e. today's teenagers -- grew up with music always available with the press of a button. They never knew the joy of heading to the CD store the day their favorite band's album was set to come out, then heading back home with that cellophane-encased treasure in their hands. To them, music is a concept, not a tangible object. It's a disposable file, not an invaluable possession. The mindset has undergone a massive transformation, and the stores are seeing the result."
People nowadays have become the Drive Thru Generation, we need to have things immediately. I for one will miss being able to hold a tangible piece of art in my hands and will miss the use of my boom box (yes I have 2 with cassette players and everything). I do not need iTunes or Limewire. I'm fine with pictures and stories and lyrics of the music attached with my compact disc. Unfortunately, "advancements" have to be made, but I do not think this is an important advancement that people should focus on. Music is not made in a computer, it is just transferred there. Future generations will not be able to differentiate between that statement and it makes me worried about how much life is going to change in the near future.
Until CD's are completely off the shelf, you can find me in FYE looking through the soundtracks =)
