HELP RAISE MONEY FOR THE LIGHT THE NIGHT WALK FOR MY BROTHER IN-LAW

My wife and family are trying to raise money for my little brother in-law who has Leukemia. About a month after turning 18 he found out that he had Leukemia. We are doing a Light the Night Leukemia Walk in San Mateo for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and would love to raise as much money as we can. If you can, please donate whatever you can for a great cause even a $1 helps. My brother in-law had to miss half his senior year and finish it at home because he could not be around a lot of people. Spending most of his time in the hospital. We are doing this for him and for everyone who has this horrible disease. Just click on the link below to donate. Thank you!

NO WHAMMIES, NO WHAMMIES.....STOP!

BIG BROTHER VS THE GLASS HOUSE: BATTLE OF REALITY HOUSE SHOWS

   Their are a lot of reality show out in TV land. It seems like they have taken over our air waves. Every time you turn around another reality show seems to be creeping around the corner. I personally don't watch a lot of reality television. One show I do watch and love is Big Brother. Till recently, Big Brother was a stand alone show with no other shows like it, well until now. ABC aired a new show to compete with CBS's Big Brother called The Glass House. There has been a lot of controversy between the two channels about there shows. CBS declaring that ABC stole the bases of their show.

ZOMBIES: WALKING VS RUNNING, WHICH DO YOU THINK WOULD APPEAR?

   Zombies have been feared for many years. There have been many different movies and video games showing zombies that could walk and run. There have been a lot of debate on whither a zombie would be able to walk or be able to run. When a lot of zombie films first came out, zombies could only walk. Later coming more into a modern age of film making, film makers started having zombies running fast as if they were all marathon runners. Even video games went from walking zombies to running. If a zombie apocalypse happens, would we be fighting to survive against a army of undead walkers or runners?

THE WIZARD..VIDEO GAME MOVIE OR SUPER COMMERCIAL

   The Wizard was a movie that came out on December 15, 1989 staring Fred Savage, Luke Edwards, and Jenny Lewis. The Wizard is know for having many different references to video games and accessories for the NES (Nintendo Entertainment System).  The movie also was the introduction to one of the biggest and fan favorite games for the NES, Super Mario Bros. 3. Many think the movie was more a super commercial for the NES.

   The movie follows two brothers trying to flee to California. The youngest brother Jimmy is thought to be suffering from a mental disorder ever since his twin sister died in a drowning accident in a river two years prior to when the movie takes places. Since the death of his twin sister, Jimmy does not like to interact with anyone. He spends most his time playing with blocks and boxes. Jimmy could always be found with a lunchbox that he does not let leave his side. After the death of the sister, Jimmy's whole family got torn apart. His parents separated and he now lives with his mom and step-dad. His brothers Cory and Nick live with their father.
