The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS) Light The Night Walk recently named Miranda Cosgrove as the National Ambassador for the Light The Night Walks that will take place across North America this fall.  View a video featuring Miranda Cosgrove here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBxJE7Ule4A 

Cosgrove, known for her singing and acting in roles in television and movies such as iCarly, Drake & Josh and School of Rock, represents the teenage population heavily impacted by leukemia, the most common cancer in teens her age.  Miranda is also stepping up to honor her own grandmother.

“Join me in celebration of my grandmother, a cancer survivor, and the hundreds of thousands of walkers who support Light The Night Walks,” says…

I wish I could say my mom asked me this due to physical whereabouts...but no. Because I have stopped just nodding and listening to all these theories and discoveries and all these new weapons people are making I guess in her eyes I have suddenly disappeared. Where have I gone...it seems the more true I am the less I am in everyone's eyes. Does being honest make my character diminished? Have I lost strength for not wanting to hear about the horrors we have created to use upon one another. She just read about some kind of weapon that uses sound. It can cause temporary blindness, nausea, and permanent hearing loss. And she is happy it has been made. Believes that it will stop wars now since it doesn't cause death like a gun does....is she right? Should I be happy about this? In my eyes all this weapon does is mutilate people and force them to go on this way. "To the death!" "No, to the pain!"

It has been close to 6 months since my step dad...Steve..and  my friend Allan died. I find myself missing Steve terribly. Any time I hear a neat song or make a Ramones reference I find myself wanting to tell him. In my blacksmithing class I keep wishing he could be there as well. Joking about how clumsy I am and such. But he's not. Because he's gone. Then in January one of my cats died. Yes, I know a cat isn't comparable to a human for some of you but to me he was just as much a part of my family. And now in just the past 2 days there have been 5 deaths in my town. I know compared to a lot of other towns that is nothing but here...it's shocking....I find myself wishing..I don't know what. I just feel my heart ache with that empty feeling that it gets when it knows it wants something that can't be. Right now I just want to cry and cry and cry. I want someone to hold my hand or something and tell me that it will be alright. Things will get better...but they won't will they? Not…

When even our leaders have a closed ear to his people? For now 2 years, but it have become more mediatised and ''intense'' since the last few months, there's a strong opposition towards our provincial Minister who wants to increase post-high school scholarship fee of 1625 $. Mathematicians and researcher showed that it would be a great loss, since that with this raise, they estimate 7000 students would quit their school's bench because they simply won't have the money for. (That is only Quebec's student, not to count others from different province, or country that come here to study).



But now things have took another turn. College and university went on strike to put pressure on the governement. Currently, there's over the 3/4 of all the student in the province who are on strike. There's been a walk in the streets of Montreal regrouping over 200 000 people, old retired people, high school and elementary school kids, parents, and a majority of students, all proudly…
