There is a kangaroo named Bandit loose in upstate New York about 20 miles from Syracuse. It is a wallaroo a large species of kangaroo , it is about one year old and three feet tall. People called the police when they saw it while they were driving. The owner bought Bandit last month for a wildlife education program that he intends to start next year. Bandit has been loose for three weeks, the owner believes that someone broke into his barn and let Bandit loose intentionally

I was checking out some articles on my Google reader and found this one article off of Reuters which said that officials think at least a third of the worlds population will become infected with the H1N1 (swine flu). Its pretty scary to think that much people will get infected by it....

Last Sunday was opening day for regular turkey season, I went out with my uncle and shot a 15 pound jake with a 5 inch beard and a second beard that was like 1 inch. My mom went with Jim and they both got one, my mom's was 20 pounds with a 9 inch beard and Jim's was 18 pounds and had a 8 inch beard. Overall it was really fun and I cant wait to go next year again.

I just listened to a song that Kyle made on Garageband. I really liked how he put together the two guitar tracks, piano track, and drum track to make a great sounding song. It was simple, but also very elaborate at the same time.

An article that I found on google reader talked about how the new "Star Trek" movie is actually a really good movie. I was surprised about the good response it got because from the previews it looked pretty inane. But it probably didn't look good to me because I am not a Star Trek fan. I tried watching one episode of it and I couldn't do it, it was just to weird. But I am interested in movies and when I heard that they ere going to make a Star Trek movie I expected everyone to be mad because a lot of people are devoted fans to the franchise and probably want people to leave its legacy alone. But I guess that J.J. Abrams rendition of Star Trek is really good and a lot of critics are praising Star Trek.
