The whole thing was captured on another student's cell phone and has gone viral.

Jon and I interviewed, Melanie Leach, the Events Coordinater at Townsquare media about the event. All I can say is, I hope she comes back. ;-)

What do you think you would see? Really see. Would it be good or would it be bad? Would you see people at their best or worst??

Between movie theatre shootings, school shootings and bombings, I have a heavy heart. I want so badly to see the good in people, but it's hard to do. I find myself looking at people and judging them on the way they look. After moving to the other side of the street of walking a little faster, I hate myself. People ARE good! And this video helped to remind me of just that. It will remind you too. :-)

I didn't, had NO idea. He then said to me, 'I wish I had a video to teach me!' Well, we found one. The guy shows you three ways to tie a tie. And in light of Prom season or just any other special occasion, I thought I should share with you.

They spend those weeks learning blocking, lines, character development, sometimes music; building sets, gathering props, making costumes, setting light cues, utilizing sound equipment and selling tickets. Through these tasks they are learning skills that are invaluable, skills that many of them will not learn in the class room. Countless hours are put in to meet a deadline. Unlike sports teams that have an entire season to try and perfect their game, students of theatre have one weekend, one chance to give you a winning performance.

The 'Your Man Reminder' app is just such a thing. I know it sounds like an anti-cheating app perhaps but NO, it's about something much more important.

Or have we been dealing with mass shootings and killings since the gun was invented? Why is it that we are so scared now and gun sales are going though the roof? Why do individuals continue to go into public places and start shooting? Why are innocent people, including our children, being gunned down in an instant? I believe WE are to blame.
