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....

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.

With The Pussycat Dolls now finished with the circus tour they are now releasing more singles. Their new single is called Hush Hush and I am pretty excited for it to come out. They just recently finished filming the music video and should be releasing it to the public soon. Here is a link for the song (lyrics included) : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YoxVsoYnnzs

Here is a video that we took at the concert we went to this past Sunday! This was from the front row of the west wing because it was set up like a three-ring circus because the tour is The Circus Starring: Britney Spears, and her newest album is titled 'Circus.' It was an amazing concert, and it was so cool being this close to her!

A book that I have a connection to is "The Hungry Little Caterpillar" because I remember when Ms. Smith, my kindergarten teacher from years ago, would read it to the class. I don't know why I remember that specific book because she read like tons of books to us but it just stood out to me because it had pop up pictures and it was a pretty interesting story. But whenever I read it to the kids in mentoring I just think back to my kindergarten days and remember how much fun it was.
