Sweetest Day Answer
I found this on a website It didn't take that long.

Origins and Facts About Sweetest Day

Observed the 3rd Saturday in the month of October, Sweetest Day observance originated in Cleveland in 1922. Herbert Birch Kingston, a philanthropist and candy company employee wanted to bring happiness into the lives of orphans, shut-ins and others who were forgotten. With the help of friends, he began to distribute candy and small gifts to the underprivileged.

On the first Sweetest Day, movie star Ann Pennington presented 2,200 Cleveland newspaper boys with boxes of candy to express gratitude for their service to the public.
Another popular movie star, Theda Bara, distributed 10,000 boxes of candy to people in Cleveland hospitals and also gave candy to all who came to watch her film in a local theater.

Primarily a regional observance celebrated in the Great Lakes region and the Northeast, Sweetest Day is gradually spreading to other areas of the country. People tend to take the Sweetest Day tradition with them when they move. Ohio is the top state for Sweetest Day sales, followed by Michigan and Illinois. Texas, California and Florida are among the top 10 states in sales.

Over the years, Sweetest Day has evolved into a time to express romantic love and also to show appreciation to friends.

Sweetest Day?
What is it really? I know you are supposed to buy candy or sweets for your lady. But is it just a holiday made up by sweet tooth and other places that sell and make candy? What if you are gay or bi or have multiple sweethearts then what do you do? It's not like stake and Bj day where you eat a steak and then you get a blow job. If you are alone do you buy your self candy? Do guys only buy for girls or do both people buy for each other? Maybe I should look it up on the web and see if I can find anything. From what I know it is a valentines day jr.

Team America World Police
I went with my sister to See Team America World Police. I thought it was funny and fun to watch. You can watch it in two ways. One stright on as an action movie. It is good that way. Or you can watch it as an overdone movie that is a comedy and has all kinds of political stuff in it. Or you can view it as I did a little bit of both. Is it South Park?, No but it is simalur. Is it vulgar?, Yes; but I think it is verry well done. I can't review it any more then that because I don't want to give anything away. After The movie we went to the chinesse buffet. I'm going to go tothe resturant site and give a review of it once I'm done with this blog. All in all I think the movie was very good. I like that they did the movie with puppets. Sometimes there movements seemed a little odd but that also gives it a nice appeal also.
