Music That Makes You Dumb?

i just read this article/story (Music That Makes You Dumb?)of the music type that makes you dumb. i honestly think that depending on you knowledge that is the type of music that you will be listening to.  of course that this is nor proven scientific but it is just a start.

Giving up Facebook for Lent

Jesus sacrificed hisself  for 40 days and 40 nights in the desert (at least that is what the bible says).  so i am planning to do the same thing but jsut with facebook.  starting today i will not access my facebook for 40 days and 40 nights.  the only thing that i will be capable of is updating my status and facebook chat.  besides that i will not access my account for nothing else for that time frame.

and guess what!!! i will NOT cheat.

wish me good luck, because i know when ever i come back i will have like thousands of new app requests and probably some “friends” trying to be my friends.

Movie Recommendation

i just got done watching a awesome documentary/movie called “Rumbo A Las Grandes Ligas.”  it is based on the true story that every dominican has to go by in order for them to be on the major leagues.  every dominican dreams about being on the major leagues but only few are chosen to play in such a place.  after the usa, dominican republic is the second place in the world that has more player playing in the major leagues.

baseball it is not just “un deporte” for these guys… is a business. they play it because they love it and because they see a chance for them and their family to get out of debt.  i think that this is a “‘must watch” movie if you are open minded and you want to learn more about my culture on how we come from the bottom with nothing trying to make a live.  even though i did not experience a lot of these events… my family does. so do not try to come to me saying that you do not feel sorry for me, becuase i have family that i have to help as well.

here is a link for more information about this movie: http://www.indiepixfilms.com/film/3537. i hope that you will enjoy it as much as i did.
