Aurora Shooting

My family and I live only 20 mins away from the devastation of the shooting. I can't even begin to describe what the people went through. However there are many out there who were thinking of them.

Like Hans Zimmer who wrote the songs to the movies wrote a dedication song to the people who were involved.

And the actor, Christian Bail, that played Batman even came to visit Aurora.

Movies and Kids

As a parent you must remember to never take your child to the movie theatre, especially an infant. Reasons: 1. Your infant is new to the world their hearing is the best and newest at infancy. 2. Most movie theaters play the music louder than what a normal adult should be listening at. 3. Most infants do not have their ear wax yet...so there is no cushion to block the sounds. So if you want to watch a movie...either wait until its at Redbox or get a baby sitter. Now taking an older child to the movies is fine. But I have beef with those who bring their kids to movies that has killing, blood, guts and gore...and sexuality. I mean really you expect your child to understand what is really going on? Um...no they are simple minded. Later when they get older they will think those things were ok. Which is why we have our killers, sexual offenders, etc. Yes blame it on sin; however, one learns from others. As a parent its your duty to be the leader.

SGS 3

I just received my first Samsung S3! Pretty excited about it so far. It works smoothly. The feel of the phone is sleek and I feel like I'm holding a tablet, not a phone. I'm use to the HTC thunderbolt, so this is a pretty big change for me. The sounds for the phone is pretty funny; for example, the phone whistles when I have a new email. So far the phone is pretty epic, especially with SVoice. I would definitely recommend this phone. The battery life is nice compared to the thunderbolt.
