Californication

I don't watch TV to much,but Californication is one of the shows I really like, especially Tom Hanks who plays Hank Moody who plays a writer who juggle his career, his daughter Becca and his ex-girlfriend Karen.He has a gift of the gab, especially for life seducing but his private life is a mess.He has a body Charlie Runkel who is talented agent but he is affected with Hank's sexual appetite.I have watched only two series of the episodes and it was a fun. There is probably three or four more series of the show right now. When I find more time to watch TV, I will definitely watch it.

Traveling

In these days traveling by air plane is becoming a nightmare.Just imagine you want to travel to Chicago.You have to get to the airport two or three hours earlier because all those safety precautions.I have nothing against safety but it is getting very annoying when you have to spend so much time to get on the plane.Flying was so easy before September 11, but after that I think twice , before I buy a ticket.If I have to go, I will go but the otherwise no.Now it is getting even more interesting with new scanning procedures.I think the lines are gonna be more longer and passengers will have to come to the airport earlier then it was before.By the way that scanning is danger because of the radioactivity and on the other hand it is against people rights.Some people will agree and some not.I have red on Internet articles about scanning the buses and subways after certain time of period.I don't now if I should laugh or take it seriously.Is this all about our safety or it is about something else? How far the government will go to take control over their own people?

Landlords

I live in private house for more then ten years and this is my second landlord to whom I pay my rent.He is the owner for more then 6 years. It is very bad times for everebody right now. I came today to pay my rent and my owner told me he wants to add another hundred dollars to my rent because everything is going up.It is truth but I am working only two days right now and it is not affordable for me to pay now more. I have bad times now, there is not much work at these days.The other thing is he didn't heat my apartment very well for last three years and I had another argument with him this year about the heat.Now my heat is very good but now he wants more money.In my opinion he can't move me out at this time of winter because I pay the rent.I have told him, I can't and I will look for another apartment but I am not gonna pay you more money.I just can't believe it he has tried to raise my rent at this time.Who is raising rent at winter?

SICKO

I have found the movie SICKO written by Michael Moore very interesting. The whole documentary movie is about the Health care in the United States. It shows that it is provided by high-profit oriented maintenance organization(HMOs).With 300 million populations in USA there is about 50 million people without an insurance, and even people with the insurance are worry if their insurance is covering them when they will get very sick. There are very bad practices by the insurance companies. The company agents who are helping to fill the applications for health insurance are not honest with their responses to the customers, and they are forced by companies to hold some information or even lie. People are worry after they will get sick not to be dropped by insurance companies, because insurance companies are able to use dirty practices to get rid of those people to save the companies money. The movie reveals that the doctors who have least claims are getting the big bonuses compare to the doctors with high numbers of claims. How is it possible that the guy who cut his two fingers has to decide which of his fingers he wants to safe because he has no enough money to save both of them? Why young women with cancer and small child can’t get the help because the insurance would not take her? Why three 9/11 clean-up volunteers, who developed respiratory problems can’t get help? It also shows that there is still racism in our health system. Author also examines why Nixon promoted HMOs in 1971, and why the Clintons' reform effort failed in the 1990s. It shows how big influence lobbing companies have in our political system. Author compares our health care to free, universal care in Canada, the United Kingdom and France. Moore contrasts U.S. media reports on Canadian care with the experiences of Canadians in hospitals and clinics there. He interviews patients and doctors in the U.K. about cost, quality, and salaries. It is unbelievable that young women with the cancer comes to Canada and gets help which she can’t get in USA or can’t afford it. Why is that that US citizens are forced to look for help outside of the country? How is it possible that Cuba is able to provide free health care for our citizens and US the country with the biggest economy of the world not? After watching this movie I think everybody has to answer all this questions in his mind, and it's hard to disagree with Moore argument that health care in the United States is broken and needs to be fixed.

Vegetarianism

When I hear this world vegetarianism ,I think of people whose diet is more healthier than diet of the rest of people who eat an animals. Vegetarians don't eat or use animal products. There is more forms of vegetarianism. Most common form is lacto-ovo-vegetarianism.In general people of these form of vegetarianism don't eat meat and sometimes eat the fish. They also eat eggs and dairy produce.There are also more extreme and restricted diets.There are vegetarian follovers who exclude all animal products but they eat anuything from the plant world. there are also follovers who eat only cereals or follovers who eat raw food.Personally I know some people who are vegetarians. Some of them are happy with they diet but some of them have change it back to meat diet. I was thinking of changing my diet to vegetarian but I have decided not to because I think that meat is better source of essential elements for healthy growth than plants and that plants don't have all nutritiens which the body needs.So I prefer combination of both.

Black Friday

Black Friday is known as a day of great discounts on retailers merchandise. Everybody is trying to get to the stores as soon as possible not to miss opportunity to get great deal on his items.I have never been shopping on Black Friday, so I went this year to see how it look like to stay in those long lines.I didn't go crazy and I didn't stay in line from 5 AM, instead I came there around 11AM. The line wasn't long so I have stayed there maybe for 5 minuets. I was trying to get a new phone for my brother, and after paying for the phone I had to wait very long two hours to get the Sim card activated. I was frustrated and very disappointed. I think that I will not go for shopping on Black Friday for very long time. When I was leaving the store and I was a witness of little nasty scene at the entrance. There was no line at that time and one guy was trying to make shortcut to the entrance sneaking in through opening between the small fences in his way. The guy standing at the entrance came to him and pushed him back but the guy who was pushed refuse to back up and pushed him back.The police officers standing next to them were watching for maybe 30 sec and than they decided to make a move to stop it. One thing was weird why the guy at the entrance who was suppose to watch the customers to enter the store didn't have some kind of security sign on him and why hi was so ruthless to pushing the other guy out when even the line didn't exist at the time.The cops have warned the customer and tell him to live not to get arrested, but didn't say nothing to the guy who started.

Hostel

One of the most disgusting movies I have ever seen is Hostel movie by director Eli Roth. The film is about three young men and their horrific backpacking trip through Europe. A particular hostel in an out-of-the-way Slovakian town stocked with Eastern European women as desperate as they are gorgeous. The young men quickly find themselves trapped in an increasingly sinister situation that they will discover is as wide and as deep as the darkest, sickest recess of human nature itself. Watching this movie was very unpleasant and there were the moments I had to close my eyes. I often had to resist the reflexive temptation to leave. Honestly, this movie has nothing to do with pleasure to watch. The movie is full of blood and torture scenes. I found this movie the sickest I have ever seen.
