The bride was beautiful

Photojournalism involves a lot of subjects from nature to objects to people. I like people the best. But not all of those snapshots portrays just happiness alone. But for Katie Kirkpatrick, 21 this will be a story of happiness and sadness at the same time. You see Katie is suffering from cancer of the lungs. She has to rely on oxygen to continue breathing and had to use a lot of morphine to reduce the pain. But that did not stop her from celebrating an occasion that was almost every girls dream. The perfect wedding…

Katie and Nick Godwin got married on Saturday January 15, 2005. She died 5 days later.

Supersize me!

I finally watched the documentary called ‘Supersize Me’. Directed, starred, produced and written by Morgan Spurlock, this is a documentary by Spurlock to find out “what happens if you consume McDonald’s for 30 days-breakfast,lunch and dinner?” Watch how Spurlock started to gain weight and even have some of his health readings go berserk!

However, there were other similar effort done. Surprisingly, all have different results. Some even become better?? More info here at wiki

You have a higher chance of being struck by a lightning than winning the lottery

Some excerpt about lottery facts from savingadvice.com:

…If none of the above has convinced you to stop playing the lottery, then I’ll bring out my favorite lottery fact. If you drive 10 miles to purchase your lottery ticket, it’s three to twenty times more likely for you to be killed in a car accident along the way than to win the jackpot.

Or this one:

..How about the classic odds of being struck by lightning? The actual probability of this happening varies from year to year, but as a good estimate, the National Safety Council says between 70 and 120 people a year die in the US by lightning - so let’s take 100 as our base. With the US population being approximately 265 million people, that means that the chances of being killed by lightning are roughly 2,650,000 to 1. Not very likely. However you are still 6 to 45 times more likely to die from a lightning strike than you would be to win the lottery.

So put on your sexy swimwear and take a long session at the pool because you don’t need lottery to be happy. (But you may be struck by lightning while you’re at it) he he he….
