Entry #2 Soda pop revelation

Entry #2 Soda pop revelation 

Soda pop, everyone's favorite soft drink is not so 'soft' after all. While soda has many flavors, there are only two major companies, Pepsi, and Coke a Cola. Carbonated soda had more added sugar than cookies, ice cream, and candies combined. That being said, why do people find it so easy to give soda to children? Soda pop has been an American tradition for decades and seems to be everyone's favorite beverage which happens to go along great with that cheeseburger or steak you have for dinner. When really its horrible for you. Not only is soda sold in every fast food establishment throughout the U.S. but it is also sold in 60 percent of the schools throughout the U.S. Some of the health effects soda pop has on people include obesity, tooth decay, weakened bones, and caffeine dependency. Diet sodas are no better for you than regular soft drinks. Diet sodas have special sugar alternatives which lead to more side effects than regular soda. Diet sodas raise risk of stroke and heart disease. Americas favorite bubbly drink does more harm then their bright bubble colors intended to. Maybe now you will think twice about giving your little one a sugar infused soft drink, I know I would.

Entry #1 Big Blog Wolf..

 Entry #1 Big Blog Wolf..

 Blogs, a way of expression, have become a way for everyday people to express how they feel about certain topics, or personal interests. I recently read "worthwhile reading" by Harry McCracken. In this blog, i found it was about how 'blogging is dead' and how bloggers function. I believe he is right when he says "gifted bloggers are busy everywhere from their first hand crafted sites operated by major corporations." but everything else the blog was talking about left me bored and uninterested.
For my second blog, "Sex, Murder, and adoption: the wild trial of Polo King," the blog goes over Scott Wilson's DUI and manslaughter and vehicular homicide. I found this blog extremely interesting because suspense and drama excites me. I love these intense stories more than news articles. I found this article interesting because it expanded over 4 years and 2 trials later, which adds to the suspension.  As Wilson's story is passing threw, the blog mentions how he had 18 drinks before he got behind the wheel. suspenseful blogs and stories are what keep my attention.
The last blog I got the pleasure to read was about the pop star Kesha who I have an interest in. The blog titled "DR.Luke is is now suing Keshas mom over the sexual abuse scandal too" On Perez Hilton's blog, which mainly aims towards the stars and Hollywood. Perez states how Kesha's mom is sueing Dr. Luke the old fashioned way to get out of her contract. Pebe, Kesha's mom is recorded underoath stating how Dr.Luke neevr harmed her or her daughter. This could get ugly. I find the celebrity drama interesting, but this article to be quite short.

Who's that girl?!

 Blog #1

 Well, to verify any confusion, no I am not a super hero nor a celebrity, I am Alexis Howson.
I like to think of myself as a easy going girl who never stops smiling. I enjoy every thing about traveling. The different cities and cultures really interest me. I want to explore Europe one day, when I have enough money saved. Going on random adventures also perks my interests. I love exploring new neighborhoods and cities I didn't know existed. Food both satisfies and interests me. I eat more the the average person probably should. I like trying exotic delicacies most of my friends would pass up. I tried frog legs and duck liver on the same trip and would eat them again! Mmmm. Great now I'm hungry.. Besides eating  I enjoy hanging out with friends and going on day trips. I am passionate about fashion and decorating, mainly shopping. One of my goals in life is to travel the world, then pick where I want to live the rest of my life at. I know I'll have to wait till after I graduate, but it's always been my top goal and I can wait out the process. I hope to make a difference in at least one other persons life, that would be truly amazing. So remember this face, because Im gonna make it big!
