I'm Not a Big Gaming Fan, But

First off, This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of PlayStation MOVE. All opinions are 100% mine.

Now, let's get to the exciting part where I talk about something I actually have an interest in!

Okay, let's get one thing straight. I am not a huge fan of video games. I believe there is more to life than just sitting in front of the television, wasting your life away almost the entire day by playing video games. However, I'm certainly not against a video gaming system like the PlayStation®Move that lets you use gaming as a way to physically get fit! As a matter of fact, I would love to have one!

Am I for real? Yes, actually I am. A few days ago I was browsing the gaming section with my spouse because he's a big gaming fan, when he pointed out the PlaystationMove. I've always wanted a way to workout without spending big bucks and the hassle of driving to and from a place just to exercise and Playstation has done it! I love the idea of playing tennis or boxing while using exercise motions to get my body to moving. And I also think it's a great way for the kids to get to moving too, instead of just sitting and watching television or playing video games.

Unfortunatly, there wasn't much of really a selection of games for this system at our local store, so I went to Playstation's website instead and took a peak at what games they have to offer.

To be honest, there's only one fitness game that they have, but I'd certainly give it a try and that's Get Fit with Mel B, which may be a good way to strengthen my back. However, they do have several pages of sports, including Racquet Sports, which looks like a lot of fun.

So, what do you think? do you think it'd be worth the purchase?

Plasma Cutting, A Step Beyond the Old Ways

If you've never heard of plasma cutting, you're probably the majority of us and not alone. I'll admit, when I first looked up information on plasma cutting and what KALIBURN has to offer, I was stumped and thinking what the hell do you do with a plasma cutting machine. And then you all are probably wondering, why am I looking it up in the first place. Well, because it is part of my job.

Apparently what plasma cutting does is it allows an easier use for cutting metals such as steel. Something that could prove to be very useful if you work with metals, like maybe a welder. Plasma is also said to be much cleaner and faster than other cutters and it can make non-linear cuts with ease.

So with that information, those who do have a clue about plasma cutting, may find KALIBURN's plasma cutting systems useful. While there's not much information on how to actually purchase one of their systems (costs, shipping, etc.) they do have a toll-free number available for questions.

I Changed My Mind

I wrote a post a while back about the school system and their thermometers being off. Then I went on about some garbage sentence saying -"So to all those schools who we understand are concerned about our children's well-being, we love you for it..."

I've changed my mind about one particular school. Why???

Because yesterday, I received a phone call from my fiance's daughter's school. Apparently his daughter had gotten on the wrong bus and was now at another school instead of home with mom in another town. Luckily I was at home since my fiance was at work and her mom could not be reached. After bringing her back here, I received mom's panicking phone call after finding out her child had not gotten off the bus where they lived.

Apparently the school had told her the same thing they'd told me at first. She'd gotten on the wrong bus. When her mom questioned how that happened, they then changed their story and said she'd gotten on the right bus, but gotten off at another school.

Now what's seriously messed up about the matter is, first of all... It's very obvious they were trying to cover their ass and blame it on the child. BAD IDEA. VERY BAD IDEA!

Every day the school's teachers, count heads and make sure every kid makes it on the correct bus to get home. Every day the bus driver does the same exact thing. Now any way you look at it, someone working for the school, screwed up BIG TIME!

What's even more messed up is that they would have never known she had even gotten off if it were not for my fiance's daughter who did the right thing and told the other school's principal that she was not suppose to be there. That was the only reason the school knew where she was!!!! What would have happened if someone would have snatched her or if she was scared enough that she didn't know what to do? She could have wandered away from the school!!!!

It pisses me off that they had no idea where she was at, didn't even know she was missing until that child told them and then they tried to cover their ass and blame it all on her!!!

It's not the first time a school has lost a child either. When my 10 year old started kindergarten at another school in the state of Oklahoma, the very first day, his teacher lost him. I almost understood that it was a first day and she didn't know all of the kids yet, until.... she walked away, back to the rest of the class without a concern in the world that my child was missing.

Come to find out, he had went to the other side of the school to find his oldest brother.
The very next day, I reported the incident with her to the principal. The rest of the school year he was always in trouble for some reason. Funny however, after that school year, he never was in trouble again.

And to think we have to put our trust into these schools!
