The 100 Best Books of All Time
One of my Facebook Friends posted this today and i thought it was really interesting.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_100_Best_Books_of_All_Time
I only read 6 of those books :(, and those that i started but never finished don't count.
I am actually reading one of the Books on that list right now. So far so good. I love that it's so detail oriented. I (by accident) got the long/real version. Its 3 books 1000 pages each. I am on Book 1 right now.

Celebrity obsession
First thing this morning when i turned on the TV, i saw the news that Justin Bieber cut his hair. Really???
But when the reported said that yesterday it was one of the most googeled thing, i wanted to scream. http://www.google.com/trends/hottrends?sa=X&date=2011-2-22
With everything going on in the world this week, like the trouble in the Middle East and Africa, the horrible earthquake in New Zeland a respected TV show and station devoted their minutes to Justin Biebers new haircut. I am not going to say i don't read gossip columns both the US and Europe or watch gossip shows, i do but people now days go way to far. Its like a Celebrity obsession.
I had a love hate relation ship with this for a while now. It all started with the Jersey Shore. I watched a few episodes in the first season and to be honest i thought it was funny and stupid at the same time. But the second, and third season came along. Season 3 premier was the most watched show on MTV. 3 of those people wrote books. More people 18-24 can name the members of the Jersey Shore then lets say some one who made a difference in this world. It bothers me that we worship people like that. Why would i worship some one who gets drunk, sleeps with a different person every night and is just plain stupid. Lets be clear i am not jealous and respect every one who makes it but some people spend money on college, masters degrees and works very hard and then you see some one making it by getting drunk and acting like idiots.
Its such a bad example.Most 16 year olds watch that show. What a great example it is. It shows that college and morals are nothing just get a reality show and act stupid and you are set for life.
Just a little thought :)

Eurovision 2011
Personally i think Eurovision is embarrassing ,a big circus and you know exactly what country will get how many points from each country, but there is something about it that makes me follow it every year. Its something that's stuck on be since being a kid when i used to watch it with my mom every year.
So i think the beat and the concept are really cool. The whole English thing is bothering me.I had to listen the song 4 times and did not understand what he is trying to say. The song would be 100 times better if it was in our language. I love Merlin. Ever since i was a little girl i was listening to his song and really expected a lot form this. I really hope they place high, we need something that represents our Countries in a positive view.
Personaly nothing beats Hari Mata Hari "Lejla"
and Regina "Bistra Voda. for me. I love both of the songs and the artists.
