I've Lost Count of Days...Technically Day 10

Hey, Page Turner again! I haven't exactly been consistent in my Valentine's Day Countdown, but I got a cold. And it's my blog. :) Anyway, I just noticed there are a lot  of holidays in February. You've got Nation Freedom Day, Groundhog Day, Family Day, Chinese New Year, Mardi Gras, Ash Wednesday, Valentine's Day, and Presidents Day. Yikes! And there aren't any in January! Oh, you also have the Super Bowl, a day all its own in the hearts of Americans. You have your football lovers, your football haters, and your commercial fans. I happen to be a commercial fan. Oh, I'm all for the gathering around the TV, eating nachos and mac n cheese, and spearing paint in intimidating bars across your face, but when it comes to actually watching the game, I'm not as interested. That's why there's commercials! The best commercials this year were the Prius, the Dorito, and the GPS locating device for a car. In the Prius, a band of goofy and seemingly friends run out of a bank...with a big sack of money. These not so bright robbers spot a nearby Prius as their nearby getaway car...and pay for it with the money they just stole from the bank. They zip away, and to the astonishment of all, the Prius actually drives fast. Wow! The news spreads across the bewildered nation, and clubs of Prius fans unite, even as the police chase the would-be robbers across America. Cracks are made at the Prius, and it's a funny commercial. In the GPS one, a dad let's his daughter go on a date with this guy. He hands the guy the keys to the car and is polite in cordial. After they leave, the dad locates them on the GPS, secretly crashing everything they do and (unbeknownst to his daughter) terrorizing and hilariously threatening the boyfriend. The Dorrito commercial, although perhaps unintentionally, has sparked the interest by prolife and prochoice groups. In it, a mom is lying in a hospital bed, an image of her baby on the ultrasound beside her. The husband is eating Dorrito's sloppily beside her. The baby notices it, and the ultrasound shows the child trying to get to the snack. Irritated at his lack of caring, she grabs the chip from his hand and throws it across the room. A second later, the baby is born, diving after the chip. Many prochoice people are angry that they let the fetus be humanized, and prolife people applaud the truth that a baby within the womb, no matter what stage, is human. I definitely and whole-heartedly believe that a fetus or an embryo or whatever anyone calls it, is a baby. I also believe that we need to take a stand against abortion, but not hate those are prochoice, but desire their salvation and that they would learn the truth. Human life is valuable, and we should do all we can to protect it, and I'm very glad that Dorito showed the funny video. I'm also glad that Payton Manning won!!!!! (See, I did pay a little attention!) The Panthers will get 'em next year, and I'll probably still only watch the commercials. So this ends my Super Bowl/Somewhat Valentine's Day post! Even though I don't like football as much as the next, I still enjoy spending time with my family. And, as the Disney blog points out, you can still celebrate something else, like owls, on SuperB owl Sunday!

An Ode to My iPod: Part 2

iPod, you were in your plastic baggy I stared at you as I cleaned the kitchen How broken you were! The rice could not fix you, it seemed A friend suggested I get a new one Replace you, dear iPod? I had no other choice! You've been with me through a lot, dear iPod Through my first couple basketball games Through that terrible thunderstorm I listened to you during my sad times I played you when I was happy Your music reminded me of good memories Why, wonderful iPod, why did I let you get wet? It was such an innocent thunderstorm I held you as I listened to your song But was it for the last time? I listened to you as we drove long miles Your ability to store music astounds me So many memories are in those songs! My little iPod, you played as we grouted the porch You were beside me in the late nights when I couldn't sleep You lie on my pillow, supplying me with audio as I draw Dear little iPod, your music kept me running I guess I shall have to say good-bye,...

The Giver

Hi, Page Turner here again! I am here again to write about my next book on the 30 day journey of 15 Fiction Books Every Person Should Read (a book every two days). I think that books are a blessing God has given us to love Him more, be creative, and be inspired. I love reading, and hope you enjoy these books!       Yesterday's book was  The Boy in the Striped Pajamas . Today, I'll be writing about  The Giver.  I read this book in 9th grade and was completely immersed in Jonas' world. While I understood the deeper allegory behind this deeply-stirring book, it wasn't until this year that God fully connected the dots I had read in  The Giver.   This book has deeply affected my life-- I hope you enjoy this book review, and give  The Giver  a try sometime this summer!                                               ...

             Hi, all! Page Turner here! I hope you are having a great summer! I like to read a lot, and one of my very favorite books is The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. While a sad book, it is one of those works of literature that you feel has profoundly changed your life. I hope you enjoy this first review, and read The Boy in the Striped Pajamas  sometime this summer!                                              The Boy in the Striped Pajamas--A Review                 The horrible events of the past seem like horrors that will never be repeated in the present. After all, the world must have learned its lesson concerning different atrocities. People join in with author John Boyne as he writes,“Of course all this happened a long time ago and nothing like that could ever h...
