What's going on in Entertainment?

I try to stay current with events that happen around the world and entertainment is one of them. Recently I read an article on yahoo, which stated that Bradley Cooper had been named the "Sexiest Man Alive of 2012" in People magazine but that some fans thought Ryan Gosling should have been nominated. Bradley Cooper has been talked about more, I think that Ryan Gosling will take the prize for next year!

What do you think ?

Accomplishment ! Acquring the things you want can happen.

As children, we can't wait to grow up and have our 2.5 kids, white picket fence house and most expensive car on the block. And then you grow up and realize that life is not that easy and acquiring these things can be tough because of possible debt that you may have incurred between the time you graduated high school to your college graduation, and the dream may seem impossible. It doesn't have to be impossible, it can happen. A few things that can help.
FORGET the time limits you have placed on the things you want.
For example, getting married by 25 or having kids by 30. It may seem like a good idea as a child,  but as an adult, life happens and your schedule may not coincide with what you planned. By not putting a time limit on the things you want, the goal will be much more attainable and will not stress or overwhelm you.
BE HAPPY when you accomplish something, regardless of how old you are.
For example, ever since you were a child, you wanted to drive a car and you end up learning when you are 35. Forget the age and be excited and happy that you learned to drive a car.
My point is that anything can be accomplished as long as you put your mind to do it. It doesn't matter how long it takes you as long as you did it, because accomplishing something that you wanted to do, can be the biggest accomplishment of all.

Wondering how people's minds work

I have always been curious as to how my mind specifically works, and I have found that I process information very differently than others do. Certain people need an actual physical thing in order to be able to learn from what they are doing. Others combine the physical thing with the text information and are able to process it greatly. I other hand do not have a standard way of learning things. I use mnemonic to learn everything and this method has always helped me but has a tendency to confuse those that do not use it or that do not use it for everything. Because of this it makes me wonder whether I am the only person who can find the answer to things that you haven't learned yet. Is there anyone who has used mnemonic devices to learn things that normally you wouldn't need a mnemonic device or that it wasn't necessary to use one? If so, please send me an email with specific examples and if you want it published, I will.

Spring is almost here

Well almost. There have been days that felt like spring and other days that definitely feel like winter. But eventually spring will be here and then summer and those times are the best for me. Why? Because I am able to take my family to the park or the zoo or wherever just to be together as a family. What kind of weather are you interested in? Do you enjoy winter, summer, fall , autumn?

Addiction can be a terrible thing

Even though it has been almost a week and a half since her death, to me it still feels like yesterday and it saddens me that another star has died so young. It is stated on a search of Whitney Houston on Google, that it appears she died of  a mixture of prescription drugs and alcohol, which brings to the topic of addiction. Addiction can be a terrible thing and it can occur from anything. How does addiction occur? When you do something over and over which may or may not cause a detrimental effect on your life.

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder can be an addiction. A person with this disorder, has to do the same task over and over and over, for example, locking the door again and again. You might think that oh that's nothing, but it can be. Imagine you having to lock your door not once but fifty times, because somehow you are addicted to doing this. Do you think that it will have an effect on your everyday life, family, friends? Of course. Because doing a task to an extreme stops you from finishing other more important tasks. To me addiction to drugs and alcohol is about the same with being obsessed with locking your door, only with death as the reason you stop using drugs and alcohol.

So how does addiction happen? It is hard to say, I am not a doctor, psychologist, therapist, counselor, but I believe that it comes from the brain, and how it processes our wants. Some people may want things more than others and maybe those people are more susceptible to becoming addicted to anything. It is something that only someone who has been through addiction, may understand, whether that addiction was locking the door. Addiction is powerful as we can see and prayers go out to the family of Whitney Houston in hopes that they will overcome this tragic end.
