Avatar (2009)

The King of the World has returned! Mr. James Cameron's youngest "Avatar" is a mind-blowing adventure and the most impressive and intricate work of art, I've ever seen.

When his twin brother is killed, disabled ex-Marine Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) is recruited to aid a mining expedition on the distant jungle moon of Pandora as only his DNA will bond with the alien hybrid body, known as an Avatar, that allows humans to breathe the toxic air. With orders to infiltrate the Na'vi, Jake finds himself falling in love with native girl, Neytiri (Zoe Saldana).

This movie turned out good. The CGI is amazing considering the budget they spent. Although the turn out on opening day was not that great, this movie has pulled out in the box offices numbers. A must see for movie fans!

Have any of you seen this movie yet? What did you think of it?

If you like the movie, check out the book!

Oregon: Increased Traffic Call Higher Demands

It has been apparent to Oregonians in major metropolitan areas, that there seems to be more cars, and ever shrinking roads. The demand for dynamic traffic flow has been high for several years, But whats to be done?
ODOT has put out many reports containing traffic congestion reviews, but with what seems like little accuracy. With the populous growing higher by the year, Oregon is suffering from bogged down road ways.
ODOT has plans in action to fix some major roadways, but most of their plans fail to accommodate for higher traffic flow in condensed areas. With the new Train lines sprouting up, it's ODOT's hopes that this will help regulate the already over crowded road ways. Let's hope their statistics are at least close to correct.

Government: Friend Or Foe?

Over the last few decades, we have seen a dramatic increase in taxes. It is said that these increases are to provide solutions and services for the citizens of the united states, But whats really going on?
Lets take a closer look into the truth. Along with the tax increases all us Americans have lived through, there is 2 common trends. These trends work hand in hand, and bring a truthful reasoning to the pain behind new taxes.

Trend One: Increase spending. The government has placed those who work for them above other American citizens. If your a state or government employee, your pay, benefits, and paid vacations are doing nothing but increasing. With unemployment at it's highest, Why do State/Government employee's keep getting raises? (Hmm, think about it)

Trend Two: Lack Of Budgeting. Along with increased spending habits, lack of budgeting is hot on its tracks. Take a look into the past and look at just how many times taxes have increased over the course of several years (we'll call this X). Now look at how many times the government has done budget adjustments/Cuts (we will call this Y). If our X is happening because of the lack of Y's, then SOMEONES math is wrong. (let me assure you, It's not the government employee's making 3x that average of a civilian job)
My point comes down to this simple suggestion (If I'm not out of place, Of course). SPEND LESS, TAX LESS. Wouldn't budgeting for a sturdier economy be better for America in the long run?
(Oh wait, It's not about America. It's about securing Government jobs and benefits)

People For Peace

I have decided to do a small post for someone on myyearbook.


She is an young girl with a big dream! Here is a blurb from her site:

we are completely blessed to be living on this planet surrounded by beauty and people with golden hearts and minds.
But the thing is is that human beings tend to be angry, we tend to get jealous, we've managed to stray away from what we were meant to be, and that is a community of love; a community connected by heart and mind, a species created to live for the higher good.

And that brings me to my idea...
How do we fix what so many people think is already destroyed? 

 Stop by and take a look. She deserves it from all the hard work.

Oregon Voting - Measures 66 and 67

Some of you may have seen billboards, signs, or advertisements on television about measures 66 and 67 in the state of Oregon. Many of you are probably wondering if this measure even effects your life. Here is what some of you may not know yet.

Measures 67 will impose a tax increase for Business Corporations in the state of Oregon. This measure will bring the state tax minimum from the current amount, Of no less then $10, to a higher $150 state minimum. This state minimum is for business's that have actually lost money over the last year. This measure also instates a 1.3 point increase in state tax filing fee's.

Measure 66 is everyone's concern. This measure imposes tax increases on individuals as well as household incomes. This tax increase is aimed at those households who's income reaches 250k+ a year. or 125k for a single.

The problems start here. The state of Oregon is considered the best place for small business's. With one of the lowest tax rates, Oregon has had growing number's of small business's. These measures effect the owners of these business's who claim the companies income on them self's. Roughly 20% of small business's in Oregon will be effected by these new measures. This in turn will cause yet even more job losses for the state of Oregon.
Funds raised from these new taxes will go to state education, public safety, and health care in the state of Oregon.
