2 Great Books
I have been reading alot, which is nice because sometimes I just do not have the time to just sit and read and lose myself in a good book.
I usually don’t read many books that get turned into movies with the exception of The DaVinci Code, He’s just not that into you, and Kiss the Girls.

Dying.
Vaccines are able to save them.
But yet are...

“We got some great, great response from this,” Robert McDonald, tribal communications director and mastermind behind the site, said in a telephone interview...
Review: Inglorious Basterds
I am a huge Tarantino fan. I think he is brilliant. (And part Native I might add)
I was excited to watch this new Tarantino film as I am for all his films. I sort of get nervous for him, hoping its good like I would a friends film. So I went to Inglorious Basterds with my man, after weeks of wanting to see it and things coming up. So we finally got to go see it.

My 9/11
Now most people alive have their 9/11 stories, where they were the exact moment they found out just like the generations before us when Kennedy was shot, when they landed on the moon when they saw the first white man. ;)
