Post

     Hey, whats up. I am doing my research paper for English and world history on have hurricane Katrina treated New Orleans economy in a long term way.  I thought that it would be really cool to learn more about this, and see what has happened in New Orleans. I am  going over everything long term, but I am most interested in the people and visitors in and out of New Orleans. I have learned a lot about what the mayor has done to improve the area, what they used their money for, and where that money came from. So basically hurricane Katrina was affected by the decrease in jobs, population, tourism, and food , but they also lost some cash in their rebuilding and regained it from donations and created a plan for future hurricanes.

Research Update

I have found 5 sources and done 2 notecards so far. The one thing that I am concerned about, in that I am trying to work out an interview with someone, but I don't know it i can get it in time for the 10 sources due. I really hope that I can get it done in time. It will really help my paper, and it would be awesome.
One of the other sources is the best thing I could find. It is seriously all I'd ever need. It is exactly what I am writing about, so it helps out a lot. It stinks that you have to use at least 5 in your sources, when I only need that one. Oh well, it still rocks. Im excited well more like happy... yay!

Purr and Yelp

Purr and yelp may be the number one best organizations ever. It is defiantly something you could start a militant over. It includes dogs and cats that need a home (two things that I love), and change them together into one amazing idea that has become a reality. It can be tacit described. Some organizations have a social system, but in Yelp or Purr, there is no-one parihia or worker higher. They are all equal.

They have students that are protégés to the workers before they go on there own with volunteer work, and you have to be a specific age. After the training, the person is inducted into the volunteer work and services. It is an all together cool program, and I really don't like having to incorporate wordily wise vocabulary into it.

World War ZZZ NOT

I just started the World War Z book, by Max Brooks, a few weeks before school started, because the movie is coming out and I have heard wonderful things about it. So... when I started I was like okay, cool, just another Zombie book. I was wrong, this is a new genre of books. It is like fiction from a non-fiction standpoint , but not historical fiction.
It is a guy interviewing people about the deviation sites of a just finished Zombie war. I am only a few chapters in, but it is deffinantly not a book that you can fall asleep reading. It's not as scary as it is just you imagining if you would do what the people are doing in these situations. It truly is one of the best books I have ever read. I would suggest it to anyone.

Osama Movie (free post)

So, I have really wanted to see the new movie about Osama Bin laden (I think that is how you spell it). The one problem is that it is rated R. My mom thinks it will be to mature and that it will be to inappropriate for me, but I have seen R rate movies before, but I am trying to convince her that is just violence and will be a great learning experience for me. She just wont buy it.
If anyone has suggestions for how I can convince her, please leave a comment. It looks really cool and I just WANNA LEARN. We... it is more of the fact that this particular topic interest me a lot. I Imdb'd it, and it just looks amazing. I hope I can end up going. Am I the only one that thinks that movie looks awesome???
