Suicide Spike in Japan

By -
I was ready the news today and saw a sad story.  Yesterday/today (September 1), was a bad day for suicides in Japan.  They were writing that a large number of young people tend to kill themselves on this day.  They feel that it is due to the return to school.  It was a very interesting story.

In addition to this, there is a movie called Suicide Club.  It is a Japanese movie, where teens just start killing themselves.  You follow a police officer trying to figure out what is going on.  The story reminded me of this movie.  If you get a chance, check it out.  I'm wondering if they were inspired to create this due to the large number of suicides they have each year in Japan.

Crazy Chickens

 I'm sitting in my office at home.  All I can hear is the sound of chickens squawking. I think they are trying to encourage me to feed them.  I know when I go out, it will be like Ace Ventura and the animals flocking to him.  I do know they will squawk before laying an egg.  The roosters are non-stop with their calls!

I Feel Lost

By -
 This week, my phone died.  I could not believe it.  I was looking on it and it goes black.  I have my wife look at it.  She gets it to come back to life and updates it to the Icloud.  I start looking at it again.  Then, it dies again.  This time it is for good.  She called TMobile.  They wanted me to enter passwords.  I could not remember them.  They were on the phone.  Eventually, I used my Ipod to access something.  Because it was under a plan we have, I am able to get a new phone.  Only catch is is that it is the same model, Iphone 11.  If I wanted the newest phone, I would have to pay $300.  I went with the same model.  Now I just need to get it.  I find myself lost without my phone.

The Long Walk

 I took my daughters to see The Long Walk .  I read this stroy when I was a teen.  It did not disappoint.  The guys who Star in this movie did a really good job.  It is not the feel good movie of the year .  It does make you feel for everyone who dies.  If you get emotional, it will cause tears.
