His Daughter~Molly Kate Kestner

So I was surfing YouTube like many people do I'm sure. Anyway I found this video that when viral in April that you probably know about. Its called His Daughter by Molly Kate Kestner and for a girl who looks to be around my age has the voice of some one much much older and sings amazingly. even as I'm writing this and listening to this song  I am at a complete loss for words at how amazing this girl is. I am diffidently going to recommend this video to everyone I know because as a guy it is extremely rare for a song to make you tear up and it may sound exaggerated but just wait till you hear her sing that she wrote on her own about a story that sounds as if it was told by someone much older is amazing to me and the millions of others who watched this video. I am so excited to see how her life turns out as an artist and as a person.

Ranger's Apprentice: The Ruins of Gorlan

People have always been suspicious of the Rangers, a group of people who practice magic. The Rangers secret duty is to fight the battles of the kingdom before it reached the people. And now Will a 15 year-old boy, will be chosen to become one of these Rangers. He would be trained in the skill of battle and surveillance to fight in the large battle brewing against the exiled Morgararth Lord of the Mountains of Rain and Night who is gathering is forces against the kingdom once again.
I have not yet started this book but cant wait till I do because it sounds great and is much like the Brother Band  series which I have greatly admired. Go check out the book on GoodReads.

Audio Book VS Reading

Okay so for a long time my brother and I have been having an argument about which was better listening to an audio book or reading the book on your own. I think its better to listen rather than read and if you want to hear what he has to say about it go ask him. Anyway listening is better in more ways than one. The pros of listening are: the book gets done faster, if it is a SiFi book with jargon that the reader may not be able to pronounce on his or her own, a third reason would be that if you are listening to the audio book on the go you get the book done even faster where as you would have to be stationary to to read a book well.
After you read this comment which you think is better and why.

Movie Review! The Secret Life of Walter Mitty


This week I am changing things up. This week instead of reviewing what happened in my book I'm going to review a movie that I watched and loved. The Secret Life of Walter Mitty is about a photo editor for a huge magazine company called "Life". Walter is great at his job but his company is downsizing and moving toward the more digital future. So the for the last magazine article their best Photographer sends in his best work his master piece but Walter can’t find it. This movie is the amazing and wonderful story of a photo editor goes on an amazing trip around the world chasing this lost picture and the Photographer.
 I love this story because it’s about how this simple guy who has had the same routine for years and has dreamed about taking an amazing adventure around the world and he finally built the courage to do so. Another thing I loved about the movie is the soundtrack that was put together for it every song really accentuated the actions of the characters. Personally I give the movie a 10/10. Its inspirational because it shows not just the general anyone can do bla bla bla if they put their mind to it. It shows almost without doing so makes each person want to visit the places he travels to because I know that personally i want to go to Iceland and see it for all its beauty. I am diffidently not the only one who reviewed this movie because if you go to IMDb it was given a 7.4/10 which is still very good and I encourage everyone to go watch it. Until next time. PIECE!
