slum dog millionare? more like slum dog multi oscar winner...

last night at the 81st annual academy awards, the movie "Slum dog millionare" won 8 academy awards including the best picture beating out "the curious case of Benjamin Button" which stared Brad Pitt and Danny Boyle also won for best director (slumdog millionare). The movie is about an 18 yr old teenage who lives in the slums and goes on the indian version of who wants to be a millionare. He is one question away from winning the 20 million rupee grand prize when the show ends for the night , he is arrested in suspicion of cheating because how can a boy from the street have so much knowledge? He is on a adventurous journey with his younger brother in which he loses his love and shows the slums in which he grew up. Personally I haven't seen this movie but based on the amount of awards won at the highest level of honor , the oscars, has given me a feeling of needing to watch it and see what millions of others saw , experienced and have loved so much from this film. I urge everyone to go and watch it just as so many others did.

new color in the white house...

Our new president Barrack Obama is the first African-American man to ever hold that title. It is a symbol for change and how developed and different our government and culture can be. It shows how well we adapt and accept change. It has had a huge impact on our country as well as the rest of the world. it has even impacted our music by having artist such as jay-z and young jeezy rap about how their president is black. In my opinion , this is the base for the change we need in our country. I believe he will be just the person we need to put our country on top of the list in every category, especially our economy.
