How?

So, my mom got her identity stolen apparently, and they have taken around $1400, which we should be getting back, but it still makes me wonder how it happened. My mom assumes it was because she uses her card to buy everything, and usually on the internet. But I don't how that works, because they made a paypal account linked to her bank account, which they would need access to her bank account and the numbers on the bottom of her checks to verify it. So who know, but hopefully the criminal is caught soon.

Alice in Wonderland

I recently saw the Tim Burton version of "Alice in Wonderland," which turned out be a sort of sequel and a mix between "Alice in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking-Glass." I found it to be really boring, as there wasn't much action in it at all. Johnny Depp was the only pleasing part of the movie, but I thought he was also the one to ruin it... with the dance after they killed the Jabberwocky....

Spring Break

Once again it is time for spring break, and guess what I'm doing, same as last year, sitting at home. I don't think I have even gone to the beach in a long time. Hopefully this summer I can get out of my house, before I head off to college, and go on a little vacation. It's kind of funny though on the amount of people in Owensboro that go to Panama, I don't even see what's so great about that place.

Dune

I'm currently reading the 1960's science-fiction novel "Dune," and while I'm not to big on science-fictions, I do think it is a pretty good read so far. One draw back though is that I have already seen the movie, so I pretty much have a visual about everything in the book, and while books and movies usually differ, I pretty much know everything that is going to happen so it isn't as exciting for me as I hoped it would be. Hopefully by the end of the book I will be a bit more excited about what I have read, before I quickly move onto a new book.

A Clockwork Orange

The book "A Clockwork Orange," originally written in the 1960's, is about the future fate of the world, in around the year 2000, when young criminals have pretty much came into power, while the older people are defenseless. The book features a boy named Alex who gets caught by the police after accidentally murdering a woman after his three droogs (friends) in his little gang betray him at the scene of the crime. He is sentenced to jail for a long time, but eventually gets out after two years thanks to an experimental procedure that makes a person not able to do violence or even think about it. After he is out, he confronts all of the people he wronged in his past and is helpless to defend himself as everyone he meets shuns him or beats him. The story itself is wonderful, and I recommend everyone should at least read it once.

The Stand

One of the latest books I read from Stephen King was "The Stand". It is considered one of his greatest books, and i would have to agree completely with that statement, maybe going as far as one of the greatest books ever? It features a large cast of characters that travel across the United States to find a one they call Mother Abigail after a experimental biological weapon, also known as the super flu or Captain Trips, was released all over the world and killed around 99.4% of the population. The people have recurring dreams of the "Dark Man" Randall Flagg over the course of their journey, as they wonder who this man really is, and how evil his is. The book itself is a huge battle between good and evil in which you'll have to read the book yourself to find out all the happens.

Music

I don't see how some people can listen to most of the music today. Most of the kids at school either listen to rap filled with crude humor and sex, or some new type of rock with people screaming at the top of their lungs to the point to where you can't understand a single word they say. What happened to all of the great music throughout the 60's-90's? David Bowie, Kansas, the Beatles; music that had actual meaning.
