So in an economy that sucks people have many concerns about their credit scores. My rule of thumb is if you do not have the cash to buy the item you probably should not be buying it. it is ok if you buy the item on your credit card because you do not have cash with you at that moment but then you should automatically later that day or the next pay atleast half of what the item cost on your credit card.
The number one thing that you should do is request your credit report every 3 months from a reliable source like equifax or experian.
Make sure that your credit report is actually yours.
Make sure there are no errors on the report and no accounts in your name that you yourself did not open.
Check your credit card statements to make sure you were not wrongfully charged or doubly charged.

Movies of 2009 I have seen thus far
SO I absolutely love going to the movies. Its one of my favorite pasttimes. What I love even more is the fact that the movie theater near my house has this deal for six bucks if you go before 12 p.m. on Friday Saturday or Sunday. So I wake up early on the weekends to go see a movie. Its great because most of the time its like i have a private screening of the movie because no one is there. If there are people there it is normally not more than five to six people. I absolutely loveeeeeeee it.
Madagascar II- cute movie. it was a good laugh. just a movie to calm down and relax. showed that family ties can withstand anything.
Bride Wars starring kate hudson and anne hathaway.
- In my opinion, this was an excellent movie that made you laugh so many times throughout it. It captivated your heart and mind. It is a story of two best friends who both have the same dream of getting married in june at hte plaza hotel. A glitch in the wedding planners books caused the weddings to be booked on the same day. the both brides to be end up fighting until they sabatage one anothers weddings. This movie shows how friendships can last a lifetime. GREAT MOVIE.
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button starring Brad Pitt- This movie was one of the best movies I have seen by far. It takes you through lifehood but backwards. the child is born as an old man and as everyone around him grows older he grows younger. I cried and cried during this movie. It makes you appreciate every moment of life and makes you realize time is precious.
Frost-Nixon- This movie is about the trial that Richard M. Nixon never had because he was pardoned by Gerald Ford. this was a compelling movie that showed a side of the story that was covered up. Good movie but not the greatest. I could have waited until it came out on dvd.
seven pounds- will smith proves himself to be a brilliant actor yet again. he does an amazing job in this movie where he has the opportunity to change the lives of seven people for the better. this movie keeps you on the edge of your seat because you do not know what is going to happen next. in the end will smith's character commits suicide in order for those seven people to have a better life. this movie is a must see!!
marley and me- this movie starring owen wilson and jennifer aniston is a feel good movie. it makes you laugh and cry and smile and be sad all at the same time. its about wanting what you have and appreciating life.
confessions of a shopaholic- cute movie. and soooo like me. i have an addiction to shopping. plus the guy that she ends up with is soooooooooooooooo cute.
bedtime stories- adam sandler is adorable in this movie about wanting to change the course of your life. He shows that it is never too late to do so.
transporter 3- Jason statham= love. he is a sexy british guy with a hot accent....what is there not to love. but one and two were better.
fast and furious 4- I loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeee vin disel. who doesn't tho? he is a good looking guy with a deep sexy voice and some amazing muscles! the movie was not bad. if you are into cars and action you will love it.
state of play w/ Russell Crowe- ok this movie is excellent. its a bit slow at times but overall a great movie. I love russell crowe. He is a brilliant actor who is underrated. the movie is about a murder that is all over the headlines. The journalist (russell crowe) knows the senator (ben afflack) personally involved in the murder case. It shows you how government officials try to cover up what goes on in the closed doors of politics. its a political thriller that has you on the edge of your seat. what a great movie!!
Ghosts of girlfriends past- honestly extremely disappointed in Matthew Mccoughney this time around. the movie was not that great.
Battle of the Smithsonian w/ Robin Williams & Owen Wilson- what a cute movie. it made me laugh numerous times which is great. I needed a movie to literally just make me laugh. one that i did not have to think about. very cute. :)
Angels and Demons w/ Tom hanks- Well lets start off by saying that the brilliant Ron Howard directed this. Of course it was good just because he was the director. The movie was amazing. It had you holding on by the seat of your pants because there were so many twists and turns leaving you eager to figure out the mystery. It shows you the flaws of religion. "religion is flawed so long as man is flawed." Catholicism has major pitfalls and flaws in it. I think this movie is going to open people's eyes to how much the Church has changed. The movie showed the argument between science and religion. It was an action packed movie that kept you wondering all the way until the end.
Obsessed w/ Beyonce Knowles- good movie. fight scene was pretty cool. I am not going to lie, I thought beyonce did a great job acting in this film. She is really starting to prove herself in other arenas than music. It was interesting how fast an innocent conversation can turn into a lethal obsession.
The hangover- hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahaha. one of the best laughs I have had in a very very long time. It was absolutely hilarious. The movie has you laughing just about every minute straight through to the end. cute movie. I would highly suggest not allowing anyone under the age of sixteen seeing it though...at the end they show some pretty interesting photos that I could have done without seeing!
OKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK I realize its now 2010 when I am updating this but i sort of forgot about htis post. haha. Sooo I think I'll just have to start a new one.

The Gaza War December 2008-???
Ok so the Israelis have been attacking Gaza for the last 12 or 13 days. Over 700 palestanians have lost their lives and several thousand have been wounded. This is an absolute atrocity that is occuring. I am in no way denying Israel's right to exist however, the palestanians need a homeland as well. Today on January 8th, 2009 at 12:14 p.m. already eleven have been killed. Lebanon is now getting involved in the crisis. The Israelis and the Palestanians both need to find a way to co-exist before this crisis turns into World War III. It is not fair to say to either side that they have to live under sanctions and embargoes and under the rule of someone else. Both sides have the right to exist.
Currently in Palestine a humanitarian issue exists. They are cut off from food water and healthcare (atleast proper healthcare anyway). Out of the over 700 Palestanians dead, most are women and children. While most of the world is protesting in support of Palestine due to the humanitarian issue that exists there, America condones the acts of Palestine and stands strongly behind Israel saying a threat, any threat to Israel is a threat to the stability in the Middle East. However, the poor people of Palestine, what can they do? They have no real army and no real way of protecting themselves. While the Palestanians are throwing rocks, Israel is firing at them. This is not a fair fight.
I am not Pro-Israel. My heart goes out to the people of Palestine. However, I am not saying Israel does not have the right to exist. They do in fact have the right. But when an Israeli tells me that Palestine does not have the right to exist or that because I am middle Eastern I am anti-Israeli, I go crazy. How can you deny a countries right to exist especially when the fate of your own so called homeland is in the balance? Both countries have the right to exist and both countries need to do so in peace.
God bless Palestine. God bless America. Gaza Gaza don't you cry!! Allah Akbar Allah Akbar Allah Akbar.
