Failure

We all fail at one time or the other. Some of us fail more noticeably (and creatively) than others. Describe a time when you have failed. Was it as bad as some of these in the video?  How did you react to it?  If you were to make a fail montage what clips would you include in it?

Movie Time

From adventure movies like the avengers to comedies, like  Madagascar 3, there is something for everyone at the theaters this summer. My question today is simple.  What movie do you most want to see this summer and why?
One week to go!

Far Away Places

In a little more than a week, you will be heading out for about 11 weeks of vacation.  What will you do with all that time?  Some of you, no doubt will be doing a lot of traveling.  There are many interesting places out beyond our borders here in Isle of Wight,  with many interesting people and sights to see. 

Seeing interesting places, people, and sights is what makes travel so much fun.  Now, for your reply, tell us your travel plans for this summer.  As for me, I have not decided where I will be headed.  I know that I will be in Atlanta for several days.

The Zombie Apocalypse Is Coming!!!

If you have not heard of this, then you are going to be slightly disturbed.  This man has some serious issues and he never got help.  I would like for you to watch this video and tell me what you think. Does it seem like this man should have gotten help?  If  he should have gotten help, then who should have provided it?  Comment and tell me what you think.

Thank you Alec K. for today's post.

Iceberg Right Ahead!

You know that a collision with an iceberg led to the sinking of the RMS Titanic.  You have heard all about icebergs in science class.  They are huge, beautiful and when they split apart they are loud!  If you have seen one up close and personal, they are simply fantastic and awesome to behold.  Imagine that you are on a boat and saw one split and then flip over.  Would you be impressed, maybe scared a little?  A tourist off the coast of Argentina was able to do just that.  Let's all watch the video.  Now, read the news article.  What do you think?  Pretty scary or did you have another impression?  Have a great weekend! 

Genius????

Sometime this week many of you will be getting your yearbooks.  Many people will look at the senior pictures and notice how nice they look in formal wear and read the quotes.  Senior quotes have been a staple of yearbooks for many years.  They express opinions, motivation, humor, and reflect the senior.  After you have read a few, they may even become boring. 

So here is an idea.  Take eight seniors who have the same last name and try coming up with a creative quote.  These seniors pulled it off and also did an excellent job of appearing nearly the same.  Curious, read the story.  Now, tell us what  you think! 

By the way, I used to be decent looking.

We are Family.

By definition: fam•i•ly
[ fámməlee ]


1. group of relatives: a group of people who are closely related by birth, marriage, or adoption
2. people living together: a group of people living together and functioning as a single house-hold, usually consisting of parents and their children
3. lineage: all the people who are descended from a common ancestor
Synonyms: relations, relatives, folks, kin, children, family unit, extended family, nuclear family, clan, nearest and dearest, loved ones, people, kinfolk


What does the term Family mean? Does Blood have a factor in it; for example does your family member have to be blood-related or married to be considered part of the family? The meaning of “family” is different for all of us, what’s yours?
