Just saw "Super Size Me"
Man "Super Size Me" only made me all the more aware of the pressing problem in USA. O-b-e-s-i-t-y. Or overweight, either one. I already knew before this movie that fast food restaurants are bad and you should only go there at least like once every 3 months or something like that but i never knew what impact fast food restaurants can have on your body and your health and overall performance. Jesus's sake i didn't even know that it can affect your sex drive. I try to limit myself eating at fast food restaurants and that movie gives me even more reasons to limit myself even more. I already knew fast food restaurants are bad, so the movie didn't really change how i think about them only rather that it actually all the more supported my position on the fast food restaurants, but anyway im guessing that this movie was created in the first place to show those unaware people of what can happen if you eat continually at McDonalds or any other fast food places. Its partly objective and partly biased but all in all drives home the point that eating continually at fast food places will affect, and not in a good way. People, stop eating everyday at McDonalds, you will only further increase your chance of heart failure or kidney failure or whatever other score of failures that can happen.

Consumerism
All people are consumers, whether you realize it or not. You buy things, you see something you want or need, you buy it. That's consumerism or consuming rather. Apparently there are different types of consumer you, and all of us, are. There this "smart" consumer, a person who constantly buys things that he/she wants, ignoring everything that he/she needs, just because they're behind on fashion or something new came out and they just have to get it, probably unaware they already likely have something similar. There's this "easily persuaded" consumer. That's a person who looks at one ad or commercial, and bam, they have been persuaded that they should absolutely, end of the world, get whatever product it is the ad/commercial is showcasing. Mind you, I am not one of those type of consumers, thank God. Even provided facts or logic or both that this product or that product works, I am always doubting it until I experience it myself and decide whether it works or not for me. Anyway, another type of consumer is well I don't got a term for it since "smart" is taken, maybe the "wary" consumer could work I guess *shrug*. Anyway thats a consumer that is wary of the products saying that they work or that it is awesome and must be acquired at any cost. Thats a consumer that is way of his nature of "want" reigning in that feeling whenever it runs rampant. Thats a consumer that only buys things that he needs to continue his existence or something and only as much as he needs, never more than he needs. AKA me. And various other people I guess. Brand names don't mean shite, pardon my british, to me, I only want pants or shorts or shirts or shoes that are comfortable and to a degree, awesome maybe catchy. If you want to be a consumer like me, be wary of your want instead pay attention as to what you need. Happy shopping :)

Early Reading(WHATTA NERD)
I read quite alot of books back when i was young so i can't remember at all what was the first book i read or how i got obsessed with reading. i do know that i still continue to read books that i find mildly interesting. Probably the reason why i read alot when i was young was because of the projected story i get in my imagination as i read along lets me sort of "escape" the reality i'm currently in and just completely immerse myself in the story. 2 particular books or actually the whole series i got hooked on was the Harry Potter series and the Cirque du Freak series. Both had kind of the same concept. The main characters are both students and at one point struggles with something that is life endangering to them and comes out heroic in the end. Both though is completely set in different areas, different powers and such. Still Harry Potter hooked me because it gave me a sense of "power"(lol) and to better appreciate my friends and Cirque du Freak bestowed a sense of mystery in my life and awe.
