Take a Walk in the Park

Posted on March 29, 2010 By akemp (Edit) Leave a Comment

W.C. Johnson Park is one of Collierville's most beautiful parks. It's the perfect place to relax on a sunny day. One of my favorite hobbies is to take pictures of the local flora and fauna. So, I often take pictures of the ducks and deer (when I can catch them) lurking around the park. The central lake brings about a sense of tranquility that is hard to... [Read more...]

Visions of a Spring Night

Posted on March 24, 2010 By akemp (Edit) Leave a Comment

My friends and relatives have always told me that I had my head in the stars. Apparently I bypassed having my head in the clouds years ago. :) I can kind of find some type of peace in this, simple because I love to gaze at the stars on a clear night. Nothing can be more beautiful or romantic than a picnic under the stars with your SO. I may not know all of the... [Read more...]

Blast from the Past: Video Games From Back in the Day

Posted on March 22, 2010 By akemp (Edit) Leave a Comment

It's funny. How does one go from being a video game geek when they were a child, to hardly touching a console these days? Oh yeah, I remember how; my parents bought those game for me. I'd have to buy my own now if I wanted to play. Granted, the video games and consoles released today are SO much better than what I played when I was younger, but the old games... [Read more...]

A Four-Day School Week: Is it really a good idea?

Posted on March 15, 2010 By akemp (Edit) Leave a Comment

Budget cuts are the topic for today kiddies. This time, we're cutting the school week. I know that the idea of a four day school week THRILLS grade school students. I know that I would have leaped for joy if I had that option while I was in school. :) But now that I'm in the working world, I tend to have a more 'adult' way of thinking. And this way of thinking... [Read more...]

Daylight Savings Time

Hey Bailey Creek! Don't forget about Daylight Savings Time on Sunday! It's time to 'Spring Forward' and get an extra hour of sunlight! :) Biggest downfall? We LOSE an hour of sleep. :( Now for someone like me who appreciates the value of a good night's sleep, this is not going to go over well for my body. I'm just glad I get to enjoy a little daylight when I... [Read more...]

They say it will deliver internet service at one gigabit per second.... [Read more...]

‘Alice’ Just May Stay in the Box Offices for Longer Than a Cup of Tea

Posted on March 8, 2010 By akemp (Edit) Leave a Comment

Apparently 'Avatar' isn't the only movie to break records recently. Tim Burton's 'Alice in Wonderland' did well this past weekend in the box office, earning an estimated $116.3 million, the highest grossing weekend ever for a spring release. Not only that, but IMAX -- which pulled "Avatar" from all its screens in exchange for "Alice" -- was rewarded handsomely... [Read more...]
