Cartoon Doll Emporium

Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007

Your younger daughter a bit bored? Does she need a fun healthy activity that she care share with friends? I have the answer!

Cartoon Doll Emporium.

Its curiously addictive. Cartoon Doll Emporium is one of the fastest growing online communities for “tween” girls. They have fun online activities, like dressing some of their favorite stars in fashions they choose, and often times they can choose to change the colors of clothes, hairs, etc. Its YOUR style after all!

Cartoon Doll Emporium also has “webkinz”. These are hand drawn dolls that you take care of online, dress up and play with. Theres even tools that allow you to send the dolls and webkinz to your MySpace.

Another big thing alot of tweens enjoy is dressing up the Hannah Montana superdoll at Cartoon Doll Emporium. Yeah I tried it, its interesting because there was so many different combinations of clothes and accessories, plus I even got to pick my own pet.

Video Game Myths

Tuesday, June 26th, 2007

1. Video games lead to violence in youth.

Citing national crime statistics, youth violent crime hasnt been lower in 30 years. 99% of gamers dont commit antisocial acts. In fact, studies have shown that mental stability and home life are the contributors to violence and not games. How can the guy at home pwning his friends be out and commiting crimes?

2. Video games are marketed at children.

While most kids do play video games, the market is shifting to adults. In fact, 62% of platforms, and 66% of pc gamers is over 18. The original gamers have hit adulthood and are now the focus of developers.

3. Girls arent gamers.

Once that was an accurate statement. The female population of gamers has increased steadily for years. Females out number males on web based games. World of Warcraft is also played heavily by the female market.
4. Video game play is isolating.

On the contrary, much video game play is social. 60 percent of gamers play with their friends. 33% percent play with their brothers and sisters.
5. Video game play will desensitize the masses.

Animal studies show that primates differentiate between play fighting, and that of true violence. Sometimes they seem to be quite amused wrestling each other. Other events see them ripping each other to shreds. Are we not smarter than the apes?

The Parenting Debate

Wednesday, June 20th, 2007

Pros

  1. Might be fun
  2. Might become less self absorbed
  3. Parenting could be interesting
  4. A new unconditional  relationship.
  5. Seeing things through the eyes of a child
  6. Improves sense of joy!
  8. A child is what you leave when you pass, they pick up the torch for you;

Cons

  1. Kids require alot of attention
  2. babies are very expensive
  3. Parenting could be boring
  4. Bye Bye Spontaneity
  5. Diagreements between parents.
  6. Might change your mind later.

I am of the thought that everyone, well, everyone in the sense of a mentally stable, non addict, should likely be a parent. I mean lesser people are doing it. Hell, my son gave me a reason to live. If i ever do anything great, i will do it in his name, even now just thinking of him i have tears in my eyes. hes the greatest thing in the world. SO yeah. if you can, do. Becuase the moment your kid is born, its like the colors get brighter, and nothing is the same, everything you thought you knew, it changes, your view changes, when you first hear his first sounds, they are backgrounds by angels singing. its just god damn incredible.

Raising a World Changing Child

Tuesday, June 12th, 2007

Encourage him to read books that will open his heart, and free his mind. Noone does that anymore, noone  has an open mind, it seems to be presumed archaic. If you learn about many cultures, its more like you will be accepting of them. From Homer to Shakespeare to Dahl, minds have been shaped that have improved civilization.

  Encourage the development of imagination, if he can visualize the change, if he can imagine the strength in him, than he can make the change occur. He will imagine the answers. All books have authors, and every author has a lesson to teach.

Dont keep him from the negative, the heartaches. These are important for growth too.  Trial and error is a great educator, but some lessons are painful. Any knowledge can be used to benefit society, avoid over protecting him.
