The World Through My Eyes

Well this one is pretty funny. A couple from Vancouver were arrested Tuesday for apparently trying to sell a seven day old baby girl on craigslist for C$10,000. The police, who were alerted by a woman who found the ad, used the number that was listed in the advertisement to track down the 23 year old mother and 26 year old father. The Couple told police that it was just a hoax, but where arrested for public mischief. Since the parents arrest the child has been put into the care of social workers. [Source]

Wow...what can I say...I guess if you can't afford the child then you shouldn't be doing the naughty thing. But if this truly was a hoax...I feel bad for them, I guess next time they will learn not to put something like this on the internet. So lesson for today...don't try to sell you baby on craigslist.

Wow this girls had no remorse...


I would hate to see what the State Attorney will do to them. How could you not feel bad...no morals apparently.

A Port St. Lucie, Fla., mother is outraged and considering legal action after her son's kindergarten teacher led his classmates to vote him out of class. Melissa Barton says Morningside Elementary teacher Wendy Portillo had her son's classmates say what they didn't like about 5-year-old Alex. She says the teacher then had the students vote, and voted Alex, who is being evaluated for Asperger's syndrome -- an autism spectrum disorder -- out of the class by a 14-2 margin. Barton and her son, Alex, talked exclusively with Harry Smith live from West Palm Beach, Fla. Barton filed a complaint with Morningside's school resource officer. St. Lucie School spokeswoman Janice Karst said the district is investigating the incident, but could not make any further comment. The state attorney's office concluded the matter did not meet the criteria for emotional child abuse, so no criminal charges will be filed. Teacher Wendy Portillo was advised by the school board not to speak to the press so she declined our interview offer.[source]

This is just sad. This teacher needs to be made an example of. You don't do that to a child let alone a child who may have autism. I find it appalling that no charges were brought against the teacher. The State Attorney didn't find any emotional abuse...my butt.

Well it seems like we are in the season of comic book movies. With all the movies that have come out and all the movies that will be out it is clear that comics made to movies is the one thing people are looking for. Now with that said there has been some great movies, one of which was Iron Man. Now it looks like they have another comic book coming to the big screen in 2009. Witchblade, which was created by Top Cow editors Marc Silvestri and David Wohl, writers Brian Haberlin and Christina Z, and artist Michael Turner. They made a T.V. show out of it and it ran for 2 season. Now I never watched the t.v. series, but I have a seen a few of the comics, and if they do this right this could be another great movie. For those of you who don't know what the witchblade is, check it out here. Below is the movie poster that was just released, and from the poster it looks like it could be a good movie, but then again, there have been some awesome movies posters and really crappy movies...so we will see.

Just a little music to help get you through today.

And again the sun sets on another one of my days off. reflecting back on the past couple of days I find that I never have enough time to one, get some rest, two get things done around the house, and three, time for my photography. I spent Friday evening nursing an upset stomach that I had. I did however get a chance to play catch with my old man. I haven't done that since I believe I was 15 years old. Saturday was spent working around the house trying to get some things done. One of which was to paint my front door and shutters. After picking up the paint and painting the door and shutters I found that the paint instead of being a cranberry was more like a deep purple...it reminds me of grimice from MCd's. So now that I have a purple monster of a door and shutters I have decided that I must now repaint them in the previous color thus wasting anytime I spent on the house this weekend. Now having the adventure on Saturday, I had to help my dad with installing new railing on his deck on Sunday. luckily everything went without a hitch and I headed home at a fairly decent time. Now I forgot to mention that my wife worked all weekend and we were really two ships passing in the night. She did get put on call for Sunday though and I ended up dragging her around to take pictures Sunday evening. Now the sad thing was I ended up only getting one day of rest which was today...only to jump right back into the grind tomorrow with work and babysitting. But I wouldn't have it any other way. I will just look forward to next weekend and look forward to not having a purple door. I hope that everybody had a relaxing long weekend.
