Now I dont know about you guess but to me french fries are like deep fired crack. I love them (but its not like i eat them every day. it makes them better to eat them on occasion ) and now i see that just looking at them could make you gain 5lbs. This is the funny part, they ae claiming the fires mentioned above are bad for you and make it should like all french fries are bad and to stay away. well according to this article they say McDonald's fries are good or well better for you.

Out of the big three fast food joints (Mickey D’s, Wendy’s, and BK), you’ll find the least caloric, least salty fries underneath the golden arches. The key to ordering a smart side dish is portion sizing—and McDonald’s has that under control.

Now I don't know how true this is. i thought fast food was bad for you period. and I would have thought that McDonald's would have been on the top of the worst thing to eat list. 
What do you guys think?

Olymics are awesome!!!

Here is an update on the Olympics. They are all over the news mainly because the US is kicking but and taking names.
As of right now the numbers look like this

US- 25
7- gold
8-silver
10-bronze

Germany- 21
7-gold
9-silver
5-bronze

Norway- 14
6- gold
3 silver
5 bronze



Like I said the US is kicking butt and taken names so far. Last night in the free dance (couples ice skating) The US lost to Canada by 5.83 points giving them the gold bumping us to silver. personally i thought the US free skate was a lot better than Canada's but because their first run score was higher they got the gold.
Today and into tonight they are showing more teams giving the US more chances to kick butt. the link below will show you the full TV schedule.

People Need to Learn to Drive!!!!

i just wanna rant about something.

there was an accident outside of the school today, involving a truck and a smaller car. The back break light was broken but it didn't look like anyone was hurt.

I bring this up because I was on my way to work and was almost hit twice. You no what the excuse is that you hear after something like this "oh im sorry i dint see you" i dont know what anyone else drives but im in a bright blue car. how do you not see me?

Have any of you been in an accident and heard the other person tell you they didnt see you? Or did they blame you for the crash?

Myspace needs to be shut down?

This an article I found on the press of atlantic city website posted on February 16, 2010.

The authors name was not published.

This is a story about a man that is accused of talking underage girls to send him nude photos on MYSPACE! The accused man, 32 year old Joshua Threlkeld, is going to trial with 112 counts against him on tuesday. The judge ordered him to stand trial on 23 additional counts. His hearing is being arranged for March 24th.

He is also charged with kidnaping and aggravated sexual assault involving one of the alleged victims

Really I thought the whole myspace pedophiles thing was over. It has to been at least a year or so since this was a big thing.

Joshua is facing multiple life sentences IF convicted.

If why if there should not be an if. He id talking to minors, This is gross and sad because he ages of the men is going down. When this all started it was men that were 50 than 40 now they catch one who is 32. It's a disgusting shame. I dont think people like him can ever change no matter what they do to him. I think of it as if it was my kid he was talking to, these girls were only 11 to 17.

Question for you-

After reading about this guy how should he be punished? Jail? Death-Row? Crazy house?

Would love to hear your opinions. I think death, what he did was wrong. But Id like to hear what you think. there are 2 links below. the first is a short article about what's going on. The second is a longer more explained article of every thing the man has done. That article is from 2009.

(how true this all is can not be held against me, i have found a few articles saying the same thing)
