21. WHAT IS UP WITH THE SONG WE ARE THE WORLD?

In 1985 several artist contributed on a charity single called “We Are the Word.” The song, written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie was released in order to help those in need in Africa. Now in 2010, a “remix” was released in early February to help the cause of the Haiti earthquake. This new song was entitled “We Are the World 25 for Haiti,” with new lyrics by Will.I.Am. I personally love this song, but there have been some critics about it, relating on the artists contributing in it. Of course the first thing I heard was that Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber killed the song. Yet I read comments on Youtube about how much people loved those two. Other people didn't like Lil Wayne's solo. I know I did! Some didn't like Kanye West's solo, maybe because they are still hurt for what he did to Taylor Swift. There are some great vocal artists in this song, like Celine Dion, Jennifer Hudson, Josh Groban, the beautiful Nicole Scherzinger and many more. I personally liked how each singer made the song their own, and the singing of the Haitian-American Wycleaf Jean (The guy who sang Hips Don't Lie with Shakira), he made this song interesting with his cool vocals. Also some people did not like the part where they rap, I think it was a great touch to today's generation. Here is something interesting, I recently heard is that there will be Spanish version released in March first in Univision in Christina's show. I guess this song made such a big impact that they had to make it in Spanish entitled “Somos El Mundo”. I can't wait to hear it, I know Shakira, Gloria Estefan, Thalia, David Archuleta, The Black Eyed peas and several others will be in it, and I bet that instead of rap there will be some reggaeton in it. I like the old song, the new song, and I am sure I will like the one in Spanish, it is amazing how people can come together like this and help each other.

20. WHAT IS UP WITH MOVIES AND BAD ENDINGS?

A good ending for me doesn't exactly need to be a happy ending, I don't need that fairytale ending where everyone is happy. The main character can die for all sakes, I do not really care. I just don't like boring endings. Now I am not saying that I want the main to die or that I do not like a happy “FIN,” just don't make it boring. There is always that movie everyone is talking about, that movie that seems to be the the best one yet, but when stupid Nestor goes to see it, well he has the disappointment of his life. One that immediately comes to mind has to be “Paranormal Activity.” Everyone spoke of how scary this movie was going to be, and how I might wet my pants, stuff like that. So I went to see it on Halloween night with my friend Krystal to make it even scarier, and lets just say that a dog dressed as a princess I saw while trick or treating with her scared me more than that movie. Another movie I saw that was supposed to be really good was “Dear John” people told me to brace my self that I was going to cry, to take tissues. I personally like movies that make me scream and even tear. What can I say I'm a guy who likes sad movies. Anyways the movie was good, and I did have a part when it surprised me, for all of you who have seen it you know what part I'm talking about. But the ending, (Sigh) the ending was very dull, and well it was a bad ending. So what is up with bad ending, there should be a law against this, it's wasting money, I could have bought me a subway.

19. WHAT IS UP WITH PEOPLE ALLERGIC TO THEIR FAVORITE FOOD?

I love to eat! I am glad I am not allergic to anything, and am free to eat what ever I want. But unfortunately there are some people who are not as lucky and are allergic to some good food, that might even be their favorite. I know some people who are allergic to some foods, and I pity on them when I see their faces because they can't eat what they want. It is like being diabetic limiting your sugar, and not able to eat anything you want. It is just sad, and a cruelty from nature. I have a friend who is allergic to seafood, I am not sure which ones, but I feel sad for her when she tells me about it. I simply do not know how people who are lactose intolerant survive! I mean no ice cream, no cake, no cheese, no milk no nothing. There are shots, but that must be very annoying, besides who likes shots? I personally love spicy food, I do not eat if my food is not spicy. It just has to have some sort of hot jalapeƱo salsa in it. If I ever get sick to my stomach because of it I do not know what I am going to do I think I am still going to consume it.
