Furious 7
Went to the theater tonight to watch Furious 7 and it was SOLD OUT for the 8 & 9 o'clock time slot; and there was only 1 seat left for the 10 o'clock time slot! WOW!! That was disappointing & crazy!
I knew that Furious 7 would be a big turn out because the Fast & the Furious movies have become a huge hit; and the death of Paul Walker was so devastating! It amazes me how technology allowed for finishing scenes for this movie; and from what I seen earlier (from a now, taken down clip) the farewell to Brian in the movie was touching and respectable. :(
I can't wait to see the full movie!!
Paul Walker was a great actor & appeared to be a great all-around guy in real life as well. I have watched clips from interviews and just him talking about his charity, he was a really good guy that lost life too short! I believe he could have done so much more in this world, if he'd only had more time!
The movie release of his last finished film, Hours, was set to release around the time of his death. A film about a father that tries to keep his daughter alive during Hurricane Katrina. I remember wanting to see this film so bad. When it hit DVD, Red Box couldn't keep it in. Finally, I got to watch it.. and it was a GREAT movie! Although, I wish there would have been a "1 year later" clip added at the end!
You can watch the full movie below..
One of so many EXCELLENT movies that Paul Walker was apart of; in my opinion!
I can't wait to see the last film of his career, Furious 7, I'm sure it will be an emotion journey seeing his Final Ride! :(

Really, Neighbors With Benefits?
I'm a traditional type of girl, one who has always believed that one stays faithful and only gives themselves to the other from that point forward. However, I have learned over the years that many people, even ones in committed relationships, don't totally agree!
We've all heard the term friends-with-benefits, but The A&E Channel (http://www.aetv.com/) has went beyond that with their new show Neighbors-With-Benefits; and it is a little over-the-top, for me. (lol)
Wow, who would have known that a neighbor of swingers existed ; and I would have NEVER dreamed there would be a TV show created about it! I'm thinking this reality television show may have been better suited for HBO, Showtime, or another pay channel. I don't want my children finding it by mistake!
Although.. I have to be honest, I will probably check out the first episode.. just because I want to hear their perspective on things. I always find it interesting why people do the things they do!
To each their own, is what I say!
I can't say much about the show because all I have seen is a preview, but I do wonder how they got all of these people to air their personal business on television!? All I know is, I hope none of them are the jealous type because, if so, there could be issues. lol
As we know, it's a reality show with producers; therefore, there has to be some drama!
Airing tonight, I wonder what ratings they will get and how many will follow; but time will tell! I am a little curious though, will you watch? Do you think this topic is too much for television?

Is Eagle Eye that far fetched?
I'm sitting here watching Eagle Eye, it really makes you think about the power of technology!
My husband and I got into this conversation about the possibility of a computer doing theses acts. He doesn't believe it would be possible, but I don't know...
After taking classes for the past 4 years, I know that much of this is possible. However, I know most of the movie is beyond possibilities a lot of the tracking could happen with a human working the other end!
In today's world of technology, people post way too much online. Sharing locations and telling everyone what they are doing at all times. Is this really safe?
A friend was telling me a while back about someone they knew who posted their plans to go away for the weekend, in reality notifying everyone that the house would be empty. That weekend they robbed for everything they had!
The right information in the wrong hands could be a disaster!!
I love technology, but I try my best to post things after-the-fact; and with limits. I think maybe this is my paranoid side working over-time. Lol
However, like in the movie... when someone knows too much about you or wants to use technology for tracking/stalking behaviors it is possible. More so than any of us probably know possible!
Eagle Eye is a great movie, but it can give us all alot to think about! AND when we do, answer me this... Is it really that far fetched? I don't think so! :)

Dyslexia isn't as Scary as I thought
Yesterday everyone was talking about Jennifer Aniston reveled that she had dyslexia. The Doctors TV Show went into more details about it this morning as they discussed how she has revealed it. As a parent whose child was recently diagnosed with dyslexia, it is nice to hear different experts talking and giving more details! Using these outlets to get more information, resources, and ways to work around it will be helpful in this journey. However, as I mentioned in my previous post (Feeling Helpless), there aren't many online ways to help (that I can find).
With all the discussion about Jennifer, it is amazing how many actors and famous people that have dyslexia; however, there are many forms and it affects people differently. It seems that the key is finding out how you cope as an individual! This may be the challenging part, I believe.
In my daughters case, I hope to be able to find what works best for her and allow her to learn ways to work around it. It's scary, but I am going to find the resources that she needs to get a handle on it and be able to learn to read; and have a productive life ahead.
With all the new talk and information because of Aniston's revealing, I have a better understanding; and dyslexia isn't as scary as I thought!!

A New Hobby
Recently I got a new hobby when I became interested in Window Decals. However, I learned quickly that my machine has major limitations!
I added the software I needed for more options, to my Christmas list; and my husband and kids got it for me! :) I knew I was getting it, watched them wrap it, then had to wait 2 whole weeks to play with it... IT WAS TORTURE (lol)!!
Since then, I have been having a BLAST cutting new things!!
A few days ago I decided to cut an image that I had saved in my digital scrapping files that I use to doodle here and there.
After cutting the pink cancer symbol with gloves, I decided I wanted a background.. So I went with gold. It's hard to see in the photo, but I love it!!
I have enjoyed doing different initials for windows, the wide variety of choices that are available, is amazing; and opens up the world of creativity! :)
I don't have my pictures right now because my desktop crashed recently, I Hope to share some others with you soon!!
Have a great Day!!
