Poor Man's Headphones

After that JBL crap headphones gave out I'm in the market for some more. I'm going to look into these.

A school forbidden from teaching a language? Granted it's a language with ties to terrorists, but are the objectors taking a close look at the good that can come from this.

By teaching American children Arabic culture and language you will have Americans who have a better understanding of a culture than most adults in America don't. Did we learn anything from the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks? We are apart of a global culture. A culture with people who don't just speak English and the romance languages.

Along with that, think of all the children that will grow up speaking Arabic and able to be interpreters for the United States Government.

I think is just a attempt by some ill informed people with no insight. The unfortunate thing is that that statement is so "American" right now.

Whatever!

This was first posted my friend Hadi's blog.

Hadi, I had to share this with as many people as possible. It's sooooo cute. I giggle everytime.

The Caste System

So, I was watching an episode of Sex and the city called The Caste System. It's the one when Miranda wanted to buy the suit for Steve and Carrie said, "I love you" to Mr. Big

One statement Carrie said that stayed with me was, "Everything before I love you doesn't count". Carrie took a guy home and slept in the same bed with another man while dating "Big" and decided not to tell because that happened before "Big" said, "I love you".

Does she have a point? When you become emotionally committed to someone is that the time when you disclose everything? It seems a little false to me. I would want someone to be honest with me. If not, then I'm investing my feelings in a lie and that would piss me off.

Rice to Riches

I've been living in NYC for about seven years and it took a friend to introduce me to a rice pudding shop in Nolita. I've loved rice pudding for years and don't have it much because i only like my Aunt's and Mom's. That's all changed.

I've found a new spot.

I recommend the cinnamon, rum raisin and vanilla. We haven't even gotten to the carmel.

*please click the link and check out the intro to the website. I don't know what that has to do with rice pudding.

Weeds

I love this show. It's funny, but more than that it's filled with people who make bad decisions for various reasons. It's written with this sarcastic, sharp, scathing look at suburbia. America has this idea that the suburbs are without crime, misfortune and everyone is living the American dream.

Well, that's not always the case.
