Be safe out there brotha.  People are just getting crazier and crazier these days.  Would you believe that this past wednesday two guys came into a church on the westside here in chicago and held the entire congregation up at gun point.  They said it was on the day that they were collecting money for a church trip they were taking too.

I actually did a study in school on the Mozart Affect, and I had my son listening to classical music while in the womb, and to this day he will only slow down to listen to music.  He's 13 months old and loves music.  he will not watch cartoons, but he will look at tv if there's music up there.  I love music and my favorite subject was math all throughout school.

that is a true statement.  My grandfather has been a licensed plumber for over 40 years and his jobs hasn't change much at all, just the equipment.  I've been in the IT field for 2 years now and have seen things come and go so fast.  Now I know why I want to get out of it so fast.  I like change, but not sudden change.
