Alright, It's Time To Stop Hating On Fergie

She's an artist, she took a risk... or something.

The talk of the town these days is Fergie's performance of the national anthem. If you haven't seen it, here's the link. She has since apologized and informed her audience that she is, as an artist, a natural risk taker. If you would call what she does art then I'd concede to call it abstract at best.

Needless to say, it was bad. Some have even gone so far as to say that her performance was a deliberate attack on America. Here's my thing; If everyone who was untalented in America was considered a terrorist, American Idol would be funded by the FBI.

Fergie doesn't hate America, she just butchered the national anthem. The real question we need to ask is who did this to us? I don't know how much we can blame Fergie for her performance because someone had to ask Fergie to sing. Instead of being mad at Fergie, we should be mad at whoever paid Fergie to do this. You asked for Fergie and you got Fergie. Not quite sure what everyone expected here. She did her best and took a risk! It's Fergie, honestly, what did you expect?

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
