8 year-old Gets DNA During Sister's Kidnap Attempt

A Pennsylvania family has a very good reason to let their 8-year-old son watch as much TV as he wants. What he learned by watching the tube may have saved his little sister's life. 

The family says while on vacation a man grabbed Nathan Kuhns' 4-year-old sister and tried to pull her into his car. That's when Nathan attacked. 

First he grabbed his sister's arm and pulled her away from the man, and then he turned back around and kicked and scratched him.

When police began questioning Nathan, he calmly explained that he had the suspect's DNA under his fingernails. When asked how he knew about DNA, Nathan explained he learned by watching NCIS on TV.

"Why did you scratch him?" asked a reporter.

"To get his DNA," said Nathan.

One of the many reasons I watch shows like CSI, NCIS, Criminal Minds, The First 48, ect. I actually read this story on another blog (thephobia.com) and it caught my attention because I love crime investigation. Who would've thought that some kid would actually be taking what they do in these shows into consideration?

Quick Life Lesson


First it was the mixtape and now I'm late on the video. It's been out for about a week now and I had no clue. I actually found it by accident but I'm glad I did. I love Asher Roth. I don't think I can stress that enough. There's just something about his voice and lyrics that has me captivated and I don't know why. But hey, I'm not complaining.

Relay for Life '10

Yesterday was Relay for Life and as always I had a good time. Hopefully next year I can bring more people to come out and experience it with me. The highlight of my night had to be when I saw my friend from middle school. His name is Nick Nutt and he was diognosed with caner last year and I was so glad to see that he was doing so much better. Even though he didn't remember me, which kind of hurt, we talked so I'm content. I could go on and on about what happened but all that really matters is that we celebrated the lives of the cancer survivors.

Here are some pics I took that night:



There were more but I didn't feel like uploading them.

Oh, I almost forgot about Julius aka Scooter. The son of one of my sister's friends. He was quiet at first but as the night progressed he began to open up more. And might I add he's very smart for a three year old. He knows his colors, how to spell them, and can say his alphabet. He's also very funny. I can't wait to see him again. It was a good night, can't wait to see what they have in store for next year.

Malk


 "Sorry dad, my white friends." That never gets old.

My friend posted this video on his facebook and it reminded me how funny Julian Smith's channel was. I use to watch his videos all the time and for some reason I forgot all about it. If you liked this video you should check out his youtube channel.

Beyonce: Why Don't You Love Me?


I didn't feel the need to post the video because I'm sure almost everyone has posted or has seen it already, but yeah this is my first time hearing the whole song and it's alright. I mean there's no doubt that Beyonce can sing, that song just didn't do for me. Maybe it's because I expected so much more out of her as an artist. And it's shocking because a little birdie told me that Solange wrote the song and her song-writing skills are amazing so I really don't understand. I have a feeling that deep down inside I would probably like it better if Solange did the song (gee whiz, I always seem to compare them subconsciously). The video wasn't all that great either. Again, I was expecting more from her. Her wardrobe however caught my attention. I'm guessing it was made to look like she just stepped out of the 1950's and it really worked for her. But overall I'm just not feeling it.

R-E-S-P-E-C-T

Let's start off with a rule that we all should have learned at an early age. 

The Golden Rule
Treat others the way you want to be treated.

With that being said, if you don't respect me what makes you think you'll gain any respect from me? And if you think that's the case then you're clearly disconnected from reality. That doesn't mean I'm going to go out of my way to be rude to you, because that would be a waste of time (my time to be exact). It just means that when you need or want something, I should be the LAST person you come to because I keep a mental record of all the things that people have done to me.

I also can't respect people that don't respect themselves. I'm pretty sure that's self explanatory so there's no need to go in to detail. Just know that you gets no respect from this guy (points to self). You know what else trips me out? Why is it that people over a certain age feel like they deserve respect no matter what? The same thing applies to you too. If I don't get respect from you, don't expect to get any from me no matter how old you are. End of story.

Some people just don't seem to understand. I'm guilty of it myself. There are times when I'm having a bad day and I tend to snap on people or say some pretty rude/disrespectful things. We all have those days. Just be careful on how you treat people because they could be the same person that plays a big role in your life.
