BlackBerry Lover Gets BlackBerry 10 Tattoo Ahead Of Phone's Launch by Carlos Walcott

Do you like Blackberry's? No? Well Brian Heffren loves Blackberry phones so much that he decided to get the logo tattooed onto his upper back. His reasoning for this, besides it already being stupid enough in the first place, was because he wanted to win a "What Would You Do For A BlackBerry 10 Phone?" contest on BlackBerry fansite CrackBerry. According to CrackBerry, Heffren is an engineer technician and field planner for Time Warner Cable who has been working on LTE towers and setting up fiber optic routes for businesses since 1996. He became a BlackBerry lover years ago while using one at work and now even buys old, broken BlackBerrys to restore. I really think this guy is obsessed and should sit down and rethink his life. Out of all the other contestants, Heffren's tops the charts. Other people did normal stuff like take pictures in bikinis or eating super hot burgers, and ya know, not get tattoos. It makes me kind of wonder if they hold a similiar contest like this when the Blackberry 11 comes out, will he keep getting tatted up for each logo. Well, his love for Blackberry's will forever be carried on his back. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/01/30/blackberry-10-tattoo-brian-heffren_n_2581313.html?ir=Technology#slide=2043364

Syrians flee violence in dangerous nighttime trek to Jordan

Syrians flee with their children and mothers to escape the violence that is occurring in Syria. The journey is treacherous and filled with many dangers. According to Jordan's Border guard officials, many fleeing families have been shot in the past two week and several people were injured trying to get across.Yesterday on a cold night one of the border guards let an injured family to safety and fed them and sheltered them. Hopefully the violence in Syria will end soon and people won't have to go through a lot just to save their families and get them to a safer place.

GODZILLA- By Jorge Olvera

     Guangzhou, China experienced a big ol' sink hole swallowing up an entire building that destroyed everything in its path. The sink hole is apparently 32,000 square feet deep. This event of mother nature occurred around a neighboring area where a good number of people witnessed the sink hole take place. It caused a power outage and trembling sounds of the streets cracking open. The crazy thing about this is that these are very common in certain parts of China. I would make sure to have some kind of insurance on my house and everything.

3 Year- Old Forced to Get Tattoo- Taiina Ayala


Over the weekend, photos and videos were posted of a mother in Havana, Cuba restraining her three year old son, while he was getting a tattoo. I first heard about this on the radio this morning and they first played sound clips from the video. From hearing the cries and screams mixed with the sound of some buzzing object, one might think it is just a small child at the dentist's office or something. Nope. The mother was forcing her child to get a tattoo on his arm. This article from "The Daily Mail" states that the content of the tattoo was not visibile, however, I cannot bring myself to watch such a horrendous video. But, when I first heard about this on the radio, they said the tattoo was of the numbers "666." THAT IS CRAZY. These people are disgusting. After the content was uploaded, the mother began to recieve a bunch of hate mail. Some might say they are over the top. I mean it's ridiculous what she did, but you can't mix ridiculous with even more ridiculousness! SMH.

Assault Weapons Ban - Paolo Buccino

      As many of us are aware, in the wake of all these recent shootings some politicians have been pushing legislation for the control of certain types of guns. Personally, I do not think that this ban is a good idea. It just seems poorly thought out and shady. It is shallow. The legislation seems to be based on the idea that creating laws prohibiting certain guns will somehow prevent these shootings from happening. How in the world would these laws even be enforced? What about the black market?

      The politicians pushing the legislation also seem to being ignoring a fundamental problem. That problem is mental health.  There is no way the Aurora, and Newtown shooters were sane. It has been realized that the Columbine, Tuscon, and Virginia Tech shooters, among others, were suffering from severe mental problems that caused them to act the way they did. If these people feel so inclined, how would some silly law ever stop them from gaining access to whatever gun they might want to use? It isn't very difficult to obtain illegal drugs is it?

     Whatever happened to teaching people about gun safety? So many people die each year from accidents because of ignorance about gun safety. Its ridiculous. And Dianne Feinstein, the politician who is leading the Assault Weapons Ban movement, who is a self proclaimed authority on gun safety is no exception to this ignorance. She can be seen in this picture muzzle sweeping the reporters, her finger is on the trigger, her control of the gun is lose, and the bolt is closed. Guns are only as dangerous as you make them.

Quite dangerous in this case.

    This is a just a little bit of my opinion that I wanted to share with everyone. This topic is very important and relevant to us today.

Basketball dad causes columbine?

I'm sure everyone has heard of freedom of speach, but a man from Washington takes that right slightly to far. At his son's basketball game he get's alittle to rowdy, by telling the oposing team, “Camas fans!!!!! Worst in the league!!!!! I hope someone shoots up their school real soon!!!!!!!!” With all the drama and caos with violence, homicides and other terrible horific tragedies,I believe the police have every God given right to take this to the highest level.
