Crazy Goggles

Today we will talk about the food you are eating. From a dinner at home to McDonalds at the square, we’re going to talk about all of it. Why? Well, because, you could die. I think it’s pretty important to read this post now, since I just said that. I could help you change your life.

Now, if you’re eating a snack right now, drop it. Don’t even say “But it’s healthy” because, it’s probably not. If your drinking a soda right now, drop that, too. Why? The US is the only country in the world, who’s food and drug administrations are governed by the same body. What that means is, the food and drug (like the doctor and medicine type of drugs) sections are controlled by the same section of the government. Which, is why the doctors are making so much money. In the next paragraph, I’ll tell you some of the things that’s bad for you.

For one, there’s high-fructose corn syrup. That’s what’s in your sodas, it’s what makes it sweet. Why is high-fructose corn syrup so bad (I’m going to call it HFCS) for you. Well, for one, it’s what makes you gain weight. It can also give you autism and diabetes! The government said it’s also just like sugar! Uh huh, and chocolate is just like mud. I learned all this from a site called http://www.thefitshack.com/2007/03/15/what-is-hfcs-and-why-is-it-so-bad-for-my-body/. I learned it was bad for me from my parents, but this site goes into all sorts of details and the comments on the post the site author made are also interesting. I recommend this post to anyone who wants to start being healthy.

What the government does makes me sick. HFCS is awful and it can really hurt your body. Which is probably why it’s illegal to put HFCS in sodas in Mexico. My family and I started going on a healthier path. This isn’t the only thing that’s bad for you. My next post will be about MSG. I hope you keep reading so you can stay healthy.

Today we will talk about how the planet is going green. I don’t know if you’re familiar with the phrase going green because if your not familiar with the phrase, you’re probably not listening to what everybody on Earth is telling you to do, which is to go green. Going green is all about saving fossil fuels and making a cleaner world. I hope you’re doing your part in going green. I’ll talk more about going green in the next paragraph.

As I said before, going green is about making a cleaner world to stop global warming and help the environment. That includes recycling and saving energy by trying to find alternative solutions to produce energy. You could make serious money at this time and age of day, and I’ll tell you why. The world needs thinkers, and you might possibly be a thinker or someone with a bright idea. The government or a company would pay serious money if someone could fix their energy problems. I hope you want to see a brighter future for Earth just like me and thousands, maybe millions, of other people across the globe. Global warming is becoming a serious problem here on Earth, and land fills are either being closed because of the toxic fumes or are being filled. Dumping in the ocean has become a regular habit of us humans and I want to put a stop to this. Which is why I’m writing this post.

I don’t consider myself to be an environmentalist, because environmentalists get nowhere. They are scattered and disorganized. If they could put all their protests together, they might actually start moving forward with their program. The government just won’t listen to a bunch of scattered groups of people, even if they are banging on their windows. Our government has just grown too stupid and just won’t listen. I say that we all do our part and forget the government. They really don’t have our best interests at mind. We need to do this like Martin Luther King Jr. did. A non violent way to get noticed. This is just an idea, the choice is up to you.

I really want to help change the environment. The state of things really sickens me at heart. I’m trying to lead us to a healthier planet and a healthier you. So, starting now, I’ll will come up with some posts about how going green could help you and how to get healthier and change your habits. The next post should be about what the government is putting in our foods. I bet you’ve wondered about that. If you haven’t, you’ll find out.

Today we will discuss the book The Lighting Thief. It is the first book in the Percy Jackson & the Olympians series. I had to go back in time to comment on this book since it is the first one in the series. This book came out in April 1, 2006. This is the first of many masterpieces in the series by Rick Riordan.

This book is about how 12 year old Percy Jackson keeps getting kicked out of every school he goes to. While all this is taking a tole on Percy, it’s taking an even greater on Percy’s mom Sally Jackson. Sally works at the candy shop and is the nicest mother in the story. Sally married a jerk named Gabe Ugliano, who Percy nick named Smelly Gabe. Sally only married this jerk to keep Percy’s half-god scent disguised. At this point you are all probably confused, so I’ll clear everything up in the next paragraph.

First of all, why would I call Gabe a jerk? Well, all Gabe does is sit around drink beer, smoke, watch TV and play poker. So yeah, Gabe’s useless. Secondly, what is a half-god scent? Well, technically, it’s a demi-god scent and monsters use that to track demi-gods and kill them. Yeah, it’s important to be covered with a mortal scent. Also, Gabe is Percy’s step dad. His real dad is Poseidon, the God of the Sea. But it’s hard for the God of the Sea to just go to there kid’s baseball game or birthday party and say “Hi, I’m the God of the Sea, enjoy the cake”. So, naturally, Percy didn’t know Poseidon was his father.

I’ll continue on with the description now. When Percy learns he’s a demi-god, he must go out and find Zues’s all powerful master bolt and Hades’s all important Helm of Darkness or it would make the Trojan War look like a water balloon fight, Rick Riordan put “or it would make the Trojan War look like a water balloon fight,” in his book and I’m giving him full credit.

I loved this book! I can’t wait for the movie to come out in 2010! I hope you all get to read l of these books, because I’m sure you’ll enjoy them!

Today we will talk about the book The Last Olympian by Rick Riordan. This is the last book to the Percy Jackson & the Olympians series. I told you I would go into the individual books so, now I am.

I just recently finished reading this book and I thought I would start writing about the individual books now. I’m not going to give everything away because that would be spoiling it and I wouldn’t want to do that just in case you wanted to read it. Rick Riordan always catches my attention when I see his books on the shelf. I always make sure to stop and check them out. I hope Rick will keep writing books because he has a good career ahead of him in my opinion. Now, onto the description.

The time has finally come for Percy’s prophecy to unfold. For those of you who have read the series, the anticipation is great and the story is about to end. For those who have read this book series, the secrets will be revealed and will reveal astonishing surprises at every twist and turn. Now, for those of you who have not read this series, I’m going to clear things up a bit. Percy Jackson was destined to be the child of the Great Prophecy by the Oracle of Delphi that took seventy years to complete. If you ask me, that’s got to be a pretty easy life. I’m kidding, that is actually a lot a pressure because when Percy turns sixteen he will have the power to decide the fate of man kind. I know it’s a lot of responsibility for a sixteen year old, that’s why it’s only a book.

If I were in that book, I would be scared to death! I just want you to visualize what it would be like to have your life and every other life on the planet on the shoulders on a sixteen year old, even if he is the son of the sea god. It would be like having the weight of the sky on your shoulders and yes, Percy has held the sky on his shoulders before.

I loved this book! It also helped that I loved all the other Rick Riordan books I’ve read. This book had tons of action, fantasy, Greek Mythology and have lots heart pounding surprises. I would be disappointed if this book was anything else then what I just described it as. Also for those people who don’t like to read, they are coming out with The Lighting Thief movie based on the book! I’m so excited for that to come out in 2010. I hope I get to see it and you get to read the books!

Today we will discuss the movie Transformers. Transformers came out on July 3rd, 2007. [source: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0418279/] This movie is rated PG -13 for intense sci-fi action violence, which makes sense because it’s a sci -fi movie. [source: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0418279/] Of course we all know, sci-fi movies have intense action and violence, that’s what makes them good!

I know I’m kind of going back in time to write this post but I really liked this movie and, they’re making the new Transformers! So, why not? This will be kind of like a refresher for those who forgot what happened, and a wake up call for those who didn’t see it. People who haven’t seen the movie you need to! The movie is about two powers of super powerful robot tribes battling it all out on Earth (yes, it takes place on Earth) for a super powerful machine in the shape of a cube (hence the name the Cube or the Allspark) that is hidden by the government. Now, before I clear things up about this movie I’m going to make a couple of comments on the story line here in the next paragraph.

To me it makes sense that two super powerful robot tribes would be trying to battle for a super powerful weapon, super powerful machine and super powerful robots fighting, kind of makes sense. What I don’t get is why the Allspark had to land on Earth, and why did the robots have to come to Earth to fight? Why couldn’t the Allspark have landed on Mars or any where else but Earth?! Is it too much to ask for one huge battle not to take place on Earth, huh? Also, once again the government is hiding something from people and aliens. No there are not little green men in this movie (they would just be target practice anyway) but, technically the Transformers are aliens because they didn’t come from this planet. Now, on to the description. Again.

I left off on a short story line. The main character is Sam Witwicky, a teenage boy who went out to buy a car and bought a Transformer instead. The car turned out to be a pile of junk that was a Camaro (Transformers transform into machines, hence the name Transformers) which, was the  car that changed his life. That car was Bumblebee, one of the Transformer warriors. He is on the good side, but that’s too bad. I really like the bad guys on most movies, so it’s a shame Bumblebee has to be a good guy.  One of Sam’s relatives was one of the first to explore the Arctic Circle (in the movie) and while doing that, fell through the ice and discovered the leader of the bad tribe of robots, the Decepticons. Sam’s relatives glasses had the directions to where the Allspark was hidden. Which is why every Transformer is looking for the glasses.

Now, into the world of the Transformers. The bad tribe were the Decepticons, and the good tribe were the Autobots. Now (just as bad guys do) the Decepticon leader had to give him a big powerful name, he was called Megatron. Why can’t bad guys ever give themselves modest names, maybe it’s in their bad guy code? I’ll never know why they do that. Anyway the Autobot leader gave himself a more modest name, his name was Optimus Prime. Megatron was bigger than Optimus, but Optimus had a big (and cool) sword to go with his extremely awesome gun. Optimus turned into a 18 wheeler and Megatron turned himself into an alien jet.

To sum it all up, I thought this movie was awesome! I also loved the video game they made. It is so cool how you get to choose between Autobots and Decepticons! I would give it a try if I were you. It had tons of action, (just like the video game) which suited me just fine. I also liked all the robots and big explosions in the movie. Also, Shia LaBeouf did a pretty good job of playing Sam Witwicky. I can not wait to see the new Transformers, it’s called Transformers Revenge of the Fallen. I’ll make sure to write about it once I’ve seen it. I hope you get to watch both of these movies and enjoy them!
