Charlie!!!



Youtube is one of the funniest and most entertaining aspects of the Internet today. This clip "Charlie bit me" is one of the most popular videos on Youtube and loved by everyone I know. The video has two British brothers in it who find it amusing to bite one another. Both of the little boys have hilarious personalities that have made them famous around the world.

The Craziness of Mardi Gras

Mardi Gras is right around the corner! When Mardi Gras comes to mind,  most people envision New Orleans on Bourbon Street. They consider Mardi Gras to be a crazy time with drinking, nudity, floats, and beads. It definitely is all of those things but you can also have a laid back time as well. Being from Louisiana it is an exciting time to go home and have fun with friends and family. The purpose of Mardi Gras is to celebrate on Fat Tuesday before the fasting of lint begins on Ash Wednesday. However the majority of people that will be making the journey to Mardi Gras are just going for the experience that is famous around the world. 

Heath Ledger's Untimely and Tragic Death

People around the world are mourning the death of Heath Ledger this past week. He was a young, talented, and devoted actor that had an impact on millions. Heath was found in his New York City apartment on January 22, 2007 unconscious by his housekeeper. When help finally arrived at his home, he was pronounced dead. I was shocked and confused by the news that day. He was such a beautiful, vibrant person at the age of 28. This is such a tragic event because he was so young and loved by many. By heart really goes out to his family and especially his adorable two year old daughter Matilda.

My True Individuality


This piece of modern art really caught my attention. At first glance, I got a warm, vibrant, and dramatic feel that in a way reminded me of myself. I am a person that loves life and everything that comes along with it. Coming from a warm, crazy southern family, I have learned to embrace all life throws at you. From the drama and turmoil of living with two older brothers to the fun atmosphere of Louisiana, I have learned to be a strong but fun individual.
