River Road Pharmacy Catches Fire

On Sunday, September 27, 2009 River Road Pharmacy caught on fire and required some firefighters to be carried from the blaze. Wittness say they spotted the fire around about 9:30 that night and Timothe Humphrey (Witness) called 911. Moments later the Columbus EMS and Fire and Rescue arrived. By 10:00 p.m. the Pharmacy billowed with grey smoke. Many fire fighters were trapped in the building and had to be rescued or found their way out. The smoke gave way to flames around 10:25 p.m. They grew from the building’s rear, only yards from a tree line. Water issued from a ladder truck, making the flames disappear for moments before they grew again. At 11:00 p.m. firemen were still fighting the flames. The cause of the fire is unknown at the time.

Kanye West Disses Taylor Swift

In all honestly I love Kanye West but what he did was totally out of line. I think that what Kanye did was very inappropriate and beyond disrespectful. He had to be under the influence of some kind of drugs or alcohol. I feel that you should treat others how you would like to be treated and I do not feel that he displayed that on Sunday night. He was not the judge of weather she deserved an award or not. It really is not any of his business. If it was anyone’s place to say something, it should have been Beyonce’ not Kanye. If it was one of his friends or family receiving an award he would not want anyone to handle them that way so I feel he should have given Taylor Swift the same respect. Regardless if he thought she had a good video or not. I am glad that Beyonce’ was the bigger person last night and actually gave Taylor her moment to shine. I am also glad that Kanye apologized for what he did.

President Obama's Speech

Personally, I think that this was a very influencing speech to children and young adults all around America. President Obama was basically just telling everyone that they can be some one; regardless to where you came from, it does not determine where you will go in life. No matter how many burdens that try to stop you or how hard you think your life is, it can always be worse. It is also true that someone else has a life far more worse than yours. It makes no sence for you to be getting a free education and then choose not to use it. He was also explaining that he also had a hard life and he still made something of himself. His father left him and his mother when he was only two. He was raised by a single mother. President Barack Obama took advantage of his education and this opened up many doors for him.
