Bottle nosed dolphins are beautiful marine creatures that are found all over the world in tropical waters.They are normally found in lagoons, coves and harbors. I'm not going to write and bore you with useless information about dolphins. I need to tell the world the truth about what's happening to these animals in areas of Japan.
The past few weeks our class has been watching a documentary about the Dolphin Masacar in Tigi Japan. There were people who were trying to understand what the dolphins were saying by planting underwater cameras and voice recorders. Whoever made this documentary was very good and built up to seeing the awful things done to these creatures. When we first started watching it I thought they would only kill one hundred dolphins or so and It's regular to eat the meat. I was far off.
In a small cove, at night dolphins are trapped in fences after innocently swimming into this cove without knowing what will soon happen to them. The dolphin saver people went in at night very discretely and planted hidden cameras in view of the cove. The next morning while watching the video all of the dolphins were stabbed in the spine and killed. The whole cove was filled with blood. When I was watching I couldn't even believe it was real. The sounds they were making, was so sad. It made me really want to stand up and help stop this awful thing, now it gets worse.
They pack the dolphin meat labeling it as whale meat. Dolphin meat is toxic. When people eat this they get very sick, for pregnant woman it can cause deformation to there babies. The sickness makes your senses slowing start shutting down and you are unable to function. None of this makes sense because they kill thousands of dolphins and they aren't used for anything.The government tried to cover up all of this for years until the Cove caught film of what's really happening.
So all I ask of you is to watch the video. I know it's not pleasant but it will really help you understand whatss happening in our world. Text dolphin to 44144 and you can help make a difference. Help save the dolphins.

Picture. Videos. Wall Posts. Games and Walls. Facebook is the best invention the world has every had. Personally I think it's a great way of communicating with your friends and family. Many people use it to reconnect with old friends from school a while back. I won't lie but I go on facebook everyday in the school year, and I'm obsessed along with 300 million other people in the world. Facebook is great and all but the amount of time people are starting to spend online is getting a bit ridiculous.
Their are more then four hundred million people currently using facebook. 50% of the users sign in every single day, and some even spend 29 billion minutes per month on facebook. Each day there over 55 million status changes take place and 180 million pictures are uploaded. This whole facebook scene is starting to change and go over the top. Facebook needs to change the way it functions before things get out of control.
All in all facebook has positives and negatives. I didn't mention the way facebook can be dangerous because i'm looking at the more important things. It can be good at times for certain reasons, but otherwise we should be spending are time doing something a bit more useful. So next time you sign in, think about what the reason for it is.

super size me?
I read an article in the news paper the other day called super size me. When you hear "super size me" you probably think of the movie where a man only eats Mcdonalds for a whole year, but I'm not talking about that. This article is about people who spend all there money on food to become the worlds heaviest person. They want to be? These people must not be realizing the impact this will have on there body and mind one day.
How do they make the money to spend on all of this food? Video taping themselves eat it for men to watch. Donna Simpson makes seven hundred and fifty dollars per week off of this.My opinion on it, I am disgusted to even talk about this. It's sad enough when you see people walking down the street who are larger then life. Those people don't want to have 200 extra pounds bouncing up and down when they walk, or have to ride around on a scooter because it's not possible for them to stand. The super size me people want that, they love the way it feels having fat jiggle when you run. Bouncing when you fall, being so weak you cant function. This is the most disgusting thing possible to do to yourself in my opinion.
So what I learn out of this article is that some people have issues. Wanting to be massive is never good, and those people are going to get very sick and will never be able to get the way they were before again. One day they will learn from there mistakes, and wonder why they would ever try what they did. All I am telling you, is it would be one of the stupidest things you could do to your body and yourself. The mental impact that could end up having on you would be devastating. So just don't "try" to be fat, you'll regret it.

COMMENT OF THE WEEK
http://andie-xoxo.blogspot.com/2010/02/barnaby-bellie-boogly.html#comment-form, andies imaginary friend blog.
uniforms.
Uniforms have both positive and negative impacts on schools. If there are people interested in coming to our school because of the acedemic and extracurricular greatness of our school, they might have second thoughts once they see our uniforms. Some people might think it is a good idea so people will not be underestimated by the type of clothing they wear or if they wear the same shirt more then once. Others may think uniforms are just punishment that the principle wants you to act like a member of some club and makes them look more "professional". I just think there fine.
Some of the pros of wearing a uniform is that you don;t need to think about what outfit to wear. You just wear shirt, tie, quilt, and socks everyday. The only choice you need to make is if you will wear a cardigan or a sweater vest. The negatives of wearing a uniform are that you buy all of these clothes and you never get a chance to wear them. The most annoying thing about uniforms is how much the teachers care about how there worn. They don't have to wear uniforms, they have no say in what we look like. First of all we are already forced to wear ugly suits all day everyday, they can't make us look any worse. And, on top of that were not aloud to wear bright nail polish, colorful undergarmets, or make up. IT's not fair.
So, now you know that uniforms are horrible and okay. I just feel that the teachers need to stop caring how there worn because, what does it matter? Why do they care so much what we look like? I mean were already wearing the same thing, why can't we just touch them up a little bit? Think about that?

WIPE OUT!
If i could be on any game show in the whole universe it would be Wipe Out. Wipe out is an exilerating challenge filled with challenging obstacle courses and intense curbs. While watching this great show it seems like it would be the most fun in the world to take on this extremely difficulty challenge.
One of the first obstacles you overcome is the sucker punch. For this obstacle there is a wall with automatic arms with punching gloves on the end that move in and out to knock the competetor off of the beam into the mud. This is one of the most difficult ones because the beam is very long and thin, therefore being easier to know down. Before and after the sucker punch is all running on a slippery surface with mud on either side.
The next major obstacle is the big balls. Basically the reason i want to go on this game show is because of this obstacle. On this section there are four MASSIVE balls that you hop from one to the other to reach the other side. On the game show only one person has made it across all four. Most just make it across to the second. I think that if I was chosen for this show I would make it across easily the first time.
So now you know what an amazing show this must be just by reading about two if the many obstacles on this show. Trust me you won't be disapointed with this show. Basically the point of the show is to laugh non stop at the people constantly epically failing on the obstacles. So the only reason I would like to be on this show, is because I'm pretty sure it will be the most fun i will ever have.

what to learn this term in LA.
Language Arts. The subject, including reading, spelling, and composition, aimed at developing reading and writing skill.
That is the usual language arts, but this term i think we should make things a little bit different. I'm sure the rest of our class agrees that they are tired of the usual week, reading books, blogging and watching youtube videos. This term I think we should spice things up a bit. So I will go throught every day of the week in which we have LA class.
Monday- Every monday we should start off by asking everyone how there fantastic weekends were, and then watch some funny youtube videos we saw on the weekend. This will start our week out in a positive way to make us more excited for the following days. After the fun, we can work on touching spirit bear.
Wednsday- Wednsdays are already great days, blogging shouldn't be changed because it gives us time to chat, and relax a bit.
Thursday- Thursday is SURPRISE DAY!! This is the one day of the week when Ms. Weldon can do what ever she would like. Thursday is the day when a bit of teaching has to take place in order for us to get marks. Ms. Weldon, all i say is that it can't be boring.
Friday- MOVIE/SKIT DAY! On movie and skit day we get to show our acting skill, and enjoy relaxed movie time. (educational movies of course)
So ms. weldon all i ask of you is to consider this week, we can do it once, or every single week, what ever you want. Please consider this amazing oppertunity to help you, and the class.
