Favorite TV Show

My favorite TV show of all time would have to be the classic, FRIENDS. Many people think that Friends is just consisted of a bunch of overpaid bad actors, but these days what show isn't? Friends isn't a reality about the life everyone wants, and it's not a show that makes you sing and dance for audiences who don't even care why your up there (they only like you for your face), and it's not a boring news show that only shines light on the negative topics in the world. Friends is a comedy about average, middle aged people that grow up together and grow with each other everyday. There is six friends that all intertwine with emotional, sexual, and funny relationships. It's a show about an average persons life and the troubles that come with it.

Not only is Friends very funny but it's also very easy to realte to. I love friends because each character relates to someone that I know and each character relates to me in a different way. I like to think that I'm more of the fun loving, out going, and a little slow, Phoebe. That in itself makes me laugh. So if your ever looking for a real laugh just turn to channel 10 around three or four in the afternoon and you'll find yourself having laughs to last you the rest of the day.

- This article was from the Montana Kaimin and written by Breanna Braaten. It was about how we look at a homeless person and judge them based on what we assume about all homeless people. It talked about how when we look at a homeless man that has a dog the only person were feeling sorry in the situation is the dog. We wonder how someone who can't afford a home can afford a dog but yet needs money for dog food. It also says that there are many different reasons that people are homeless these days and with our environment and the job market how it is today there are over 350 people that come to the homeless shelters every day for help. The average American looks at a homeless person and assumes they're poor because of substance abuse, when over 25% of the homeless are veterans or mentally ill. Basically it says that we are all people and we all deserve a second chance. So when your looking through your wallet and wondering if you should give them money, just put yourself in their shoes.

This article was really short, but you had to subscribe to the Wall Street Journal if you wanted to read more. Basically it talked about how as soon as March Madness starts in NCAA basketball, all political thoughts are replaced by brackets and teams. It says that it shouldn't be this big of an upset in the world and that sports broadcasters basically only get their shine when the basketball games come on. Though this was written from the view of someone who is, most likely, very political it was very interesting to read.


www.montanakaimin.com/index.php/articles/article/the_red-headed_stepchild_concerts_are_more_enjoyable_if_people_follow_a_few/990.

This article was actually really funny to read. It was about a person that wasn't from Montana that was so used to having elbow room and space at concerts. He recently attended Vampire Weekend at the Wilma and was shocked to find that there was room to enjoy the concert, so he layed out a couple rules. One was to please not yell how much you love the band before the band is even on. Number two is that if your going to dress up to be "like the band" and tell people that you discovered the opening band, then the writer asks you to please stay home. The third is that with little room there isn't enough space for everyone to be front row, so he asks people to please stop pushing. And his last rule is that if you find yourself at a show like this, to just sit in the back row with enjoyable adults who are there for the show, where you can enjoy it more too.

** Molly...
Your probably going to kill me but I literally could not find one source from the peer edited journals on human trafficking. Hopefully you can help me tomorrow with looking for more sources. The sources that I got were all really broad though which is why I picked them, from economy based, to facts, to programs to help stop it. They all were really helpful at teaching me the facts about the human tracking and helping me learn a little bit more about it, and what it is. Sorry I couldn't find more, but I hope this is okay!

Paper topic...

So I'm still not sure what exactly sustainability is but i think that that is the point of this paper. So for my topic I was thinking about either just writing about the whole "going green" thing and whet er it's an actual impact on the environment or if it's only there to help the media and make people more aware off the problem and at the same time raise some money with advertising, merchandise, and green products. The other thing I thought about writing about is the seven sustainable factors of the world. we learned a lot about these last year in Human Geography and how they are helping the world survive today. Or my last idea is possibly 2012 and what it means for the world. Any of these sounding good?
