Crazy Person!

"Authorities say a Pennsylvania man rammed his house with a semitrailer during a fight with his roommate and tried to run down police called to the scene."

The World Ends with You

Anyone like rpg video games? I do I think they are very fun and entertaining. There is this new game out called The World Ends with You. Kind of dark title don’t you think. Well it’s about this boy who wakes up in the middle of nowhere and then out the blue this voice starts telling him that if he doesn’t complete the following mission that will be given to him, he will cease to exists. So this boy is just thrown into this basically and has to race to save his own life. Okay, well that’s different. Look it up and Google it and see if it is something that you think might be worth your time.


Bradgelina Clan

 



It's finally here; the much awaited pictures of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's latest bundle of joy. Or rather two happy bundles. 

Yea, that's right. The world can now catch a glimpse of the little ones ... speaking of which, you've probably already heard that
Hello! magazine won the exclusive rights to Jolie's twins and, thus far, it is most expensive celebrity baby pictures to date, with reports placing the amount at a whooping $14 million. As usual, Pitt and Jolie will donate do the good Samaritan bit and donate money to charity.  


 



As for the childbirth bit, it was a Cesarean Section and the fraternal twins Vivienne Marcheline and Knox Leon were delivered, on July 12th in Nice. 

The duo adds to the bustling brood for Brangelina, where the celeb couple already have 4 other hyperactive little ones; Maddox(7), Pax Thien (4), Zahara (3) and Shiloh (2). The latter was their first biological child whilst the other three are lovable additions from all over the world.

Die-hard fans might be wondering about the
baby names for Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie's latest duo, so here goes the explanation. Vivienne Marcheline is Jolie's own mom's name; fans will remember that she was quite close to her mother and deeply affected by her recent passing away. Knox Leon is a tribute to both Jolie and Pitt's grandparents ... sort of; Knox was the middle name of Pitt's grandpappy and Leon was Jolie's great-great granpa.


 


Say what you might, the choice of names hint at great attachment to family roots and humble beginings. Which is quite sweet when you think of the strange names people give their little ones.


 


And where Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie is concerned, controversy and scandal is never far. The latest uproar suggests that People magazine might have altered the pictures of the Jolie-Pitt twins; "Parenting magazine says that babies don't smile from exterior stimulation until two to four months - even if said exterior stimulation is the most beautiful pair of humans in the entire world," NY Magazine said. [Note: look at pic two, cover of People mag]

Sigh!
Talk about bizzare.I believe devote fans don't care either way - the age old arguments goes that babies are cute even when they look utterly miffed.

Give A Child A Book

It is very important to read to your child at a very young age. How do you think children become child geniuses? I don’t know how true it is but some same that you can read to kids while they are still in their mommies bellies. When I hear that im just like well how the hell come children don’t remember that? Well anyway I think it’s a parent’s obligation to teach their children and not rely on anyone, not even school teachers, to make sure their children retain properly. Please don’t be a lazy parent.. Read to your child.
