Avalanches...


There were three prisoners who were going to be executed by a firing squad. (a blonde brunette and a redhead)They put the brunette up against the wall. Just as they were about to shoot the brunette yelled "EARTH QUAKE" every one ran for shelter and the brunette got away as the red head got up against the wall,She yelled "TORNADO" every one ran for shelter and the red head got away. Just as the blonde was about to be executed, agian they put her against the wall. The executer yelled "Ready, Aim...And the blonde yelled "FIRE."




I think this joke is quite funny to be honest. I am no longer a "blonde" due to the fact that i dyed my hair brown, but i have never found these offensive. I think all blonde jokes in general are just hilarious. Even though they make fun of blondes, they have the right to. Many girls ( including blondes) dumb themselves down for others, most of the time they are males. I think it is both quite amusing and sad. What i don't understand is why they don't equally make fun of brunettes and red heads just as much? That really gives blondes a huge dissadvantage to everyone elses hair color. I believe that there are alot of blondes haired women who are both very smart and great role models to many girls out there. As well, girls shoudn't "dumb themselves down" in order to get a males attention. It's basically a 2- way street. Don't act dumb, and these jokes won't be created.

Prozac Nation

This is another memoir based on Elizabeth Wurtzels' journey through 10 years of chronic depression. It starts with her as a little girl, before the depression of being who she is and growing up kicked in, along with her new friend sadness kicks in. By the time she ages, she is long accustomed with the feeling of helplessness and a long list of the similar beyond that. This tells about her life and the struggle she dealt with, until the prescription drug. Prozac is a medicine used to treat depression.

I like this book, im not quite far yet but its good. It shows the lifelong struggle some people go through. I myself struggle with depression, so in some parts of the book i understand what she is going through, i believe thats why i am so fond of this book.

Paranoid Park

Based on the book by Blake Nelson. Alex, a 16 year old skateboarder that accidently kills a security guard. It all starts when him and Scratch (a guy he meets at Paranoid Park) ride the freight train. A security guard catches them, and is fighting with Alex and Scratch. Alex defends himself hitting the guard with his skateboard rendering him unconscious. The guard falls onto another train track, being run over and killed. Alex tried best he could to destroy the evidence, but his skateboard turns up with DNA putting that skateboard at the scene of the crime. No one knows about the incident at the train tracks, or that he murdered a security guard. This causes people to notice something is wrong. His friend Macy notices the most and tells him to write down whatever it was that was bothering him. The movie is based on the events he wrote down on a notepad and eventually burned.

This movie was EPIC! i loved it very much, it was superb. It was very confusing at first but the second time i watched it, things start to unravel and fall into place. Somewhat like a puzzle piece. I for sure recommend this movie. It was great.

In My Skin

This is a memoir by Kate Holden, a young woman struggling with heroin addiction causing her to turn to prostitution. She was once a shy innocent girl who always had her face in a book. She retraces her steps from when she had her first hit of the drug. To after when she truelly began to find herself after struggling to stay clean.

I found this book quite boring to begin with, but as you crept on in the pages of this book the more Kate held you in with her constant struggle to earn the money to drug up after her long shift at a Brothel. To her nightime was when she was alive, sleeping throughout the day only to wake up and go to work.
