In North America today many people are fighting obesity and many are dying from this horrible disease. So why is Donna Simpson bringing this upon herself? This is wrong on many levels.

One reason is that she is only 40. Half her life has gone by and she shouldn’t end her life because of something she did to herself! She is potentially ruining her body system for life and killing herself. Obesity is a disease so that would be like saying you are trying to get cancer which is not right. Along with trying to become the fattest woman in the world by eating, she is putting her body at risk of diabetes, heart stroke, organ failure and many more things. WRONG!

Donna Simpson has a little daughter. Does she think it is fair for her daughter to see her die because of a choice she made? Plus, she is not being a very good example to her daughter who she is teaching that it is okay to eat unhealthily and not have control over your body. WRONG AGAIN!

Saying that it ‘feels natural to be fat’ is not the way it’s supposed to be. It is incredibly wrong and selfish. I say that it is selfish because so many people are in need, wanting and even praying for good health so to purposely try and ruin that is disrespectful to your body. Just another reason why this is WRONG!

The fact that Donna is being supported by people paying to see her eat online is immature and disgusting for the people that want to see such a repulsive thing. This may be harming her physically but probably harming her child mentally. In my opinion you should take care of yourself and your body and work hard on being a role model for the people around you. This is irresponsible and revolting that this is something Donna Simpson wishes to be.

Spread the Net

ONE NET. 10 BUCKS. SAVES LIVES.

Imagine that you get bitten by a mosquito in your backyard and you think; great, this is going to be itchy tomorrow. Meanwhile someone in Africa gets bitten and they think it’s pretty harmless until a few days later when they start to experiencing signs of malaria.

People that live in Sub-Saharan Africa are surrounded by Malaria every day. So much so that 1 in 5 children will die of malaria by the time they turn 5 and every 30 seconds a child will die of malaria.

To stop this deadly parasite from spreading there is nets that you can purchase for only $10.00 and they cut the chance of the people getting malaria by 50%! These nets can cover a whole family for when they sleep which makes a huge difference for just $10.00. So why not instead of buying that shirt you really wanted, you save a life?

Every net saves lives but unfortunately while you were reading this blog a little daughter, son, brother, sister, mother or father just died of malaria.

Everything Left on the Ice

Everything left on the Ice

Hockey players have fire in their hearts and ice in their veins. ~Author Unknown

Stepping on to the ice, the feeling of excitement, eagerness and nervousness. All you want to do is see the puck drop and go but there’s much more than that. First you must go through intense hard practices where you legs feel like nothing besides jello. Next comes the games where if your not playing smart or with passion for the game it’s all over.

Hockey, the game I love to play. At age 4, I could barely skate. My stick handling was a mess, being sloppy choppy and slow. But, with practice came improvement.

I enjoy playing hockey so much, being with the other 15 girls on the team and making friends, feeling the joy in achieving goals and eventually winning games. Listening and learning to what the coaches have to say becomes the only thing you can think about when you are under the pressure in the middle of a game, practice drill or tournament. Hockey has become pretty much become my life lately and I feel privileged to get to play this amazing sport and be a player for the Woolwich Wild Bantam B team.

The Day the Music Died

The Day the Music Died

On a cold winter’s day on February 3, 1959 three of the rock n’ rolls greatest musicians took off in Clear Wake, Iowa planning to land in Fargo, North Dakota. Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper (J.P Richardson) never made it to their final destination. The three men were on tour for the Winter Dance Party Tour when their plane due to the bad winter storm crashed.

Buddy, Ritchie and Big Popper all supposedly died in the plane crash but there was some speculation about that because of the fact that Buddy Holly’s gun was found with the wreckage but it is most likely that because of the weather the pilot, Roger Peterson, flew straight into the ground after cork-screwing a few times.

The three rock n’ roll stars bus’s heater had broken down so with no further discussion, Buddy Holly booked a $36 private flight to make it in time for their show in North Dakota. That $36 dollar flight is what ended up finishing the 3 young lives forever. Although Buddy and Big Bopper had no doubts that the plane could crash, Ritchie Valens on the other hand had always been afraid of flying and it was going to be his first flight and the one that would end his life. Since Ritchie was a young kid he would always have nightmares about flying. Unfortunately he had no other choice, it was to fly or miss the show. Sorry to think that they men had no clue what was going to happen but it was a life or death situation and death was the option chosen.

That was the day the music died according to millions and Don Mclean the writer of American Pie the song that he wrote about the horrific plane crash.
