Earth Day..COOL

Earht Day is pretty sick. Although I never celebrate, it's a great holiday for adults and kids alike.
Fun Fact? It takes 300 - 400 years for plastic to break down in a landfill.
somethings I learned about Haiti is that before it was a country it was a French colony. the colong was based on forestry and sugar. Also, the importation of African slaves was extremely prevalent in the Carribean at the time. Because of the January 12, 2010 7.0 earthquake, most of Haiti has been destroyed. In Brooklyn recently over 10,000 articles of bootleg clothing (such as Ed Hardy and Nike) has been confiscated and authorities have decided to send the contraband to Haiti. Those kids are gonna be looking fresh.

Hurricane Season

I really enjoyed the movie Hurricane Season. It was exciting to watch and the acting was extremely good. I didn't like all the blackouts - the space inbetween scenes were filled with just a dark screen which I didn't like. Forrest Whitaker is a great actor, along with Isaiah Washington and Taraji P. Henson. I think the movie should've focused a little more on the distruction caused by the hurricane and should've showed more scenes from what actually happened in New Orleans. I thought the boys did an excellent job of portraying their pain and grief due to the hurricane. Also, the basketball scenes were enjoyable to watch because I'm a basketball fan and they played very well.
