Oh, Hey Bieber.
The phone rang, I wasn't in the mood to answer. I had just said goodbye to one of my best friends who was moving to the other side of the world. The phone kept ringing but I continued to stare at it, without making a move. My mom told me it was one of my friends. Relunctantly, I reached for the phone and pressed the talk button. I lifted it to my ear, "GO CHECK YOUR TWITTER". Once I didn't respond, she said "JUSTIN RESPONDED TO YOU!" I shook my head, "No, no he didn't don't lie. I'm really not in the mood." She laughed, "I am not lying, go check it right now!" I threw my body off of the chair and bolted across the kitchen where I slipped and fell on my face. Without time to recover, I took the stairs two at a time. My fingers refreshed the twitter home page when I saw it. "Justinbieber: feel better". Those two words became blurry figures as my eyes filled with tears. I sank to the floor, and my scream pierced my own ears. My mom, laughing, told me I was crazy but I couldn't stop. The tears just kept rolling down my face. My heart was beating so fast, yet I couldn't obtain any air in my lungs. I've never cried over a boy before, but this boy is special. This boy is Justin Bieber.
Micheal Jackson is... alive? With all the buzz and gossip about the new King Of Pop, you're thinking, "Where is Micheal?". Micheal Jackson, the man who nobody could understand but made history with his music. Justin, the 16 year old boy who became famous off of youtube and now has his fans in the palm of his hand. The ongoing rilvalries and debates between these two artists is all based on opinions.
The facts are simple, Micheal worked for years on his career to earn a deserving title. Justin was discovered on the streets of Stratford, and now he also earned the deserving title? I don't think so. Justin is not The King Of Pop. Justin never will be The King Of Pop. "It was, and will always be Micheal Jackson."- Brendan Kirby.
I am Justin's biggest fan, not Micheal's, but he still has a lot to learn about the celebrity life. He has melted the hearts of girls all over the world (including mine), become the youngest male solo artist to top the Billboard charts since Little Stevie Wonder in 1963, and, well...taken over the earth. So long MJ, hello JB.

I Stalk You.
I stalk your photos, I stalk your live feed, I stalk your wall posts, I stalk your wall to walls, I stalk your status updates, I stalk your profile pictures, I stalk your photo albums, I stalk your fan pages, I stalk your interests, I stalk your friends, I stalk their friends but most importantly... I stalk you. That's right, I stalk every one of you. Over 400 million people use Facebook to connect with family, friends, and some people you may not know. Parents and guardians warn their children of creepers and to never accept anyone that they do not know, but I have found a way to creep people without being their friend. Sounds scary huh? Well it is.
You might have thought that your profile is secured, but you thought wrong. Facebook changes their security settings often without notifying the millions of users. This causes people to leave their profiles unsecured and open for the creepy people to see. It's really a simple thing to make an account and add people you don't know. The only safe thing about it is that you have to accept someone as a friend before you can access their full profile. This is where most people believe as the limit.
You're messing around on the computer and see a name that you use to know, so you click on their name. It then comes up with their almost profile and you see a profile picture in the left corner. If you can't see the picture clearly or the picture is on of them, then you might get confused. You think, "well what am I going to do now? Should I add them anyway?" Tip: click on the profile picture, this way you can access all of their profile pictures. If you have some sort of eye problem or just are having problems still seeing them, this is not the end. Tip: there is a bar across the top of the picture that says "back to album", " (person's name) photos", and " (persons name) profile". Click on "photos" and this way you can view every single picture that anyone has ever posted about them. Its basically like you already have them as a friend, without creeping their wall-posts.
This method works on everyone who is not smart enough to change their security settings. Especially those girls who have those gorgeous boyfriends that you think might be a little weird if you add them. Is it really creeping if you don't get caught? After all, they'll never know... ;)

"Cassie, do you need to go back to kindergarten?" The only way to really find this out is to go on Are You Smarter Than A Kindergardener but, there is no such thing as this show. So, if I had to pick one game show to be on, I would choose to be on Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader.
Jeff Foxworthy, the host for AYSTAFG, meets millions of people who are smarter than a fifth grader. He also meets people who are not... The point of this show is that there is a contestant who has to answer questions that a fifth grade student would be asked in class. They keep answering questions until they answer one wrong. Once they answer one wrong, they lose and have to admit to the camera "I am not smarter than a fifth grader". If they answer all the questions right, they get to take home 1 million dollars.
But there's a catch. There are 8 fifth graders who sit at desks and also have to answer the questions. At any time, the contestant can ask for help on the question that has been asked to one of the students. If the student who was helping the contestant answers the question wrong, then the contestant also gets it wrong.
I think we all know that I am smarter than a fifth grader and could win that money in a sitch. So I guess the real questions is, are YOU smarter than a fifth grader? ;)

We're born. We live. We die. Everybody goes through the same thing. Some don't want to die, while others choose for themselves when to die. I don't want to die, but I know that I have to. If we all have to die, why not make it worth it? I'm writing a bucket list, for the top 10 things I want to accomplish before my life ends. These are the top 10 things that if I do them all, I will have lived a full life.
10. Stay in an ice hotel
9. Win an award
8. Dive into a giant bucket of food.
7. Meet Willy Wonka and tour his Chocolate Factory
6. Save someone's life
5. Put a flag on the moon.
4. Be A Speaker at We Day
3. Meet Justin Bieber
2. Get Married
1. Change mankind
"I have a dream" - Martin Luther King Jr. One great example of changing mankind. He spoke his mind and made a difference, a positive difference. Adolf Hitler spoke his mind, he also made a difference, a negative difference. I want to make a positive difference. Something that people will look back on and think, "Wow, where would we be if she didn't do that?" One problem, I don't know how to change mankind. It will have to be something that no one has done. Something courageous and brave and people will know who Cassie Busuttil is. It's still undecided but when I know what I want to do, I'll do it. I'm determined.
Whether they make a big difference in the world or if it's just for my enjoyment, they all mean something to me. This is my bucket list.

A dream.
5,500 athletes. 17 days. One shot. Alexandre Bilodeau, a 22 year old male made Canadian history on Sunday February 14, 2010. Just a regular boy with a regular dream who never thought he would ever make it this far. That dream all became reality when he kicked our former Vancouver native that now competes for Australia right out of first place. With a striking 0.17 more points than Dale Begg-Smith, Alexandre Bilodeau lived his dream.
The nail-biting crowd was silent as Alexandre made his way down the hill. After he landed the back double fold, Canada knew he was in it to win it. His knees were held tightly together and he crossed the finish line with a record of 23.17 seconds. He waited patiently while the judges tallied his score but when the numbers 26.75 ran across the screen, Canada was the only thing people could hear. His look of hope and fear was replaced with joy and happiness. He did it. He really did it.
"He helped me keep things in perspective all these years. Even when it's raining, I take it. I'll go train." What inspired Alex? His brother. Frederic Bilodeau who suffers from cerebral palsy cheered on his brother with the rest of the country with one hand gripped on the railing and the other raised high in the air. "He doesn't have that chance, and he's having a smile every morning when he wakes up".
Through all the pain and determination that this young man has conquered, it all became worth it for the one shot he was given. "I don't think I realize what's actually going on today and what's happening to me right now" Bilodeau stated, but we don't blame him. "I'm human so I make mistakes. If I can do it. They can all do it". - Alexandre Bilodeau.
