Bigfoot - Little People

Little people are kind of like blue migits that live underground or in caves. They wear animal skin and cone shaped hats. Always refraining from human contact, only males are ever seen. The females and children are hidden. They are approximately two to three feet tall, and have the foot size of a baby. Researches say that they die, paint, or tattoo themselves blue as a pat of their religion. There has been sightings of these little people for over 400 years. 58 year old Paul Wilson has been researching these little people for over 30 years. The first time he witnessed a little person was when he was 16 and hunting for rabbits. He found little baby tracks and followed them till they withered away. Police came and tried to get tracking dogs to follow the tracks but the refused.
Unlike Bigfoot articles of Little People have been found and examined. There are also stories and myths about these people in the Mexican and Indian culture.
I think that if I saw a little person I'd be so afraid. Knowing that they're like surfs but a little bigger is creepy. This relates to Bigfoot because they're both creatures that aren't human, but are frequently seen. Both Little People and Bigfoot are wanted in many places. Even if the aren't real.

Bigfoot - Amomongo

Amomongo is an ape-like creature that walks on the grounds of Le Castellana, Philippines. Amomongo has attacked three people, and over 50 animals (mostly chickens). A survivors description of Amomongo is that he is five and a half ft. tall, and he looks like a monkey. He's very hairy and always has long nails. Chickens who got attacked had their entrails ripped out of their stomach and was eaten by a creature. Also the people who got attacked received long scratches on their torso from Amomongo. They claimed and said that he tried to remove their external organs. Eric Lasita managed to slash the beast with a blade when being attacked. He then sent the knife to the police so they could determine whether it is a creature or human. La Castellana was evacuated, and there is a time restriction to enter that certain area.
This relates to Bigfoot because Bigfoot is a creature that people have seen, but it's not proven to be true unless he can be caught. Which he can't. Same goes for Amomongo.

Bigfoot - Canadian Bus Driver Hoax

In 1977, 35 miles east of Vancouver a bus driver and his passengers witnessed a large creature run across highway seven into a forest. They claimed that the creature had been seven feet tall, and hairy. After investigating in the forest footprints were found on the ground. After a couple of months, the police had found out that it was a hoax. There were three people who had planned the hoax, and they said it took them about a month of planning. How they did it? They claimed to have used large plaster footprints to imprint on the ground, and bought a $100 costume. "It was a good practical joke, we thought it might fool a few people. I was running like O.J. Simpson" Says Ken Ticehurst.
This relates to Bigfoot because they thought they saw Bigfoot, but it was actually just a prank.

Lest We Forget

Whenever it's this time of year, I don't know how I feel about everything. I guess I'm in the middle. Half of me is sad because of the fact that millions of Canadian soldiers passed away serving for our country, the other half of me is happy because without them, our country wouldn't be how it is today. They fought for our freedom, which has made us a one if the countries with the most freedom. Thanks to them, we are known as a peacekeeping country. Because of them, we no longer need to be afraid of having to live in a time like the World Wars.

Tomorrow my heart goes out to those who fought for Canada, those who fought for Canada and passed away, and those who had a family member who passed away while fighting for Canada. I honestly can't believe the pain the family members had to feel....... Not being able say goodbye to their loved ones before they passed away. Life must be hard for them, but they should be proud to know that they died happy, serving for our country, dying for our country, and dying for our freedom.

Mom gets drunk, child goes missing.

Deborah Bradley got drunk two weeks ago, and on the same night her 11 month old daughter, Lisa went missing. Deborah says Lisa was last seen by her at 6:40 pm when she put her to bed. The family found out Lisa was missing when Jeremy Irwin, Lisa's father came home from work at 4am. He knew something was wrong when he noticed that the front door was unlocked, the lights were on, and a window has been played with. Police say Deborah might have done something to the baby while she was drunk but doesn't remember, but Jeremy says she knows Deborah and she isn't that kind of person to do something like that. There is a $100,000 reward for whoever brings back Lisa to her home safely.

When I read this, the first thing that came too mind was that Deborah maybe abused her daughter, or took her somewhere while she was drunk and just doesn't remember anything from that night. I feel bad for Lisa because she isn't even one years old yet, and she could possibly be in a kidnappers hands or in a random place that her mom could have possibly brought her to while she was drunk. I just hope Lisa gets brought back home or gets found soon because a little girl like her shouldn't have to go through this.

Review: Tangled

The Disney movie Tangled was directed by Byron Howard and Nathan Greno, and produced by Roy Conli. This movie is the animated film of the story Repunzel. Repunzel has been locked away in a castle for almost 18 years. The first time Repunzel steps on grass for the first time is the day before her 18th birthday with this man Flynn Rider. Repunzel ends up going on an adventure with Flynn to the kingdom, where the queen and king live. What Repunzel doesn't know is that she is the long lost missing princess.
I think Disney lovers should most definitely watch this movie because it's very funny, cute, and romantic. this is possibly one of my favorite movies from Disney. Also if you are a fan of Mandy Moore's singing, you will love hearing her in this movie as she plays the voice of Repunzel.
I recommend this movie to little kids, but also teenagers or even parents who are still a child at heart.

Shooting in California

8 people died in a Salon in Seal Beach California. A man came into the Salon and shot customers and employees. 2 of the people who got shot died at the salon, 6 of them were rushed to the hospital and passed away. One of the employee's who witnessed the shooting said someone got shot in the face and chest. Paramedics say there was blood everywhere. The man who was in charge of this did everything with no help. After running out of the Salon, a police car followed him and arrested him. One of the employees from the Salon say he is the ex husband of one of the owners, and they had a Terrible relationship which might have caused him to want to wreck her Salon.

My reaction when I read this was shocking, because I don't understand how a single man has the guts to take away 8 innocent lives. imagine if you were there in person, you'd be traumatized. Condolences to the families who lost a family member because of this man.

R.I.P Steve Jobs

Steve Jobs the co-founder and CEO of Apple Inc. passed away on Wednesday October 5th, 2011. Steve passed away in his house in Palo Alto, and then was buried on Friday October 7th, 2011. On monday they released a copy of Steve Jobs' death certificate and confirmed how he passed away. Steve jobs was fighting against pancreatic cancer since 2004, and needed to have a liver transplant in 2009. His cancer spread to his main organs which had caused his death. Steve had to take leave of absence three times due to his health issues. He had his last leave of absence in January and resigned this past August and chose Tim Cook to be the new CEO of Apple. Steve passed away the day after Apple announced the release of their newest iPhone, which is the 4s. Steve passed away at the age of 56, but got to live a very successful life.

My friends told me that someone named Steve Jobs passed away and I was asking who he was. I then found out that he was the CEO of Apple, and I got pretty sad. I use 3 Apple products, and soon will be 4. I have my itouch at home, and at school I use Macs and iPads. and soon I'll be getting the iPhone 4s :) but it saddens me that all the other apple products could possibly be slightly different because the original founder passed away.
