This year's goals:

1.  To redo filing system and clean out my desk and keep it in order.  Organization is key to having a good place to work.

2.  Take watercolor painting classes and expand on medias that I usually don't use with my art. 

3.   Be merciful, make peace, more loving, spread joy to everyone, show kindness, have self-control, be humble
          and generally be a good person that others can come to knowing they will be comforted, loved and helped.

4.  Continue helping Africa to have no more malaria in the world.

I know mine are pretty personal, but I really have passion about Africa and all those people dying when I have it so good.
         

Thanks for the warning.

I got a Target Contest Fraud today and Target store said to forward it to the FBI.

Hey Bradley

Glad to see you back.  Looking forward to your lvl 110 combat too. hehe

The perfect gift list for the Wonder Woman in your life:

I just watched the documentary and it made me cry.
It's on netflix.

Yeah I went to a parade today.
It's amazing to see all the local support in my area.

I'm not sure which is better to hear:

You are King

or

King Spree

Why does everyone leave the game after its done.  *sadface*

He bought two swing states by bailing the car industry out.
Whose money was that he spent?
The future of America is that the unborn children will have to work til they are 80 to pay that back.

My future is now to support a group that looks to better America and I plan on being an independent in the future elections.
The election may be over but the American people can still stop his spending with protests.
I'm going to save some money up to go to Washington, DC.

I just hope in four years we see Ron Paul on the ballots.
He would of had my support this time had he been a real candidate.

I'll be praying for him to do the right thing for Americans and not his own agenda.

Update so far is that the dogs will not be put down. 
The exhibit is closed til Spring and may or may not reopen.

Have not seen the mother or father yet on the news.
A lady that works with the mom came on and said that she was a good mother.
They showed a picture of the little boy tonight and that was really sad.

The zoo had an inspection in Sept and had gotten an outstanding rating.
They are going to be reinspected now to check on if they did something wrong.
They had three eyewitnesses talk about what they saw but they didn't show faces.
They will likely have to be in court at some point.
The boy was alive when he was mauled by the dogs.
So legally the zoo could be charged for his death. 

No one can make that mother feel worse than she will make herself feel.
It showed their home with a little truck on the porch and flowers that the neighbors had left.
It said family and friends were with them at the zoo.
The father arrived from what I could tell shortly after the attack ended.
It was their only child.

People are blaming the zookeepers for not going in to save the boy.
They shot the animals with tranquilizers and threw shovels and rakes to distract them.
It wasn't safe for them to go in and there would of been more fatalities.
It all happened in less than 5 minutes and the zookeeper was like 10 feet away from the cage when it began.

No parent is flawless or free from making mistakes.

I'm not saying the mother didn't do the wrong thing.
She will live with that, but my heart goes out to her even in her mistake.
They are doing an update at 1:00 on channel 2 if anyone is in our area.
If they don't put the animals down, I would expect they will be moved to some other zoo or reserve.

I'll post again when I hear an update later.

I've recently started to watch the news.
I always check weather.com everyday.
I'm watching morning and evening then I check on Google for extra information if I want to know more.
I always buy a Sunday paper for the comics and ads.

I'm extremely disappointed. . . but still will go see all of them.

I would not of picked Disney to do this. 
I love Lion King and a lot of the other movies, but Star Wars is in a class of its own.

One mean cat.
