On Sunday 12, 2009 a frozen man sitting on a bench was found. Sandy Alberts was first to discover the unidentified body, "His frozen postition looked like as if he was afraid before he froze and i first thought maybe someone was pulling a prank but when i came closer i could see behind the snow a man's face and then i realized this was something big" she claims. At 7:37 AM she called the police and they were on the scene within 15 minutes.
Police are still uncovering the body and the cause of the freeze. Roger Berad, a police officer, states "It's very rare that this could happen during this time of year. I understand that it's very cold but not cold enough to freeze ones body. So far, all we have to tell the public is that the man was either sitting there for a very long time without moving or he was killed to begin with and someone covered him in snow which then froze to his body form." There will be more about the story as we recieve more information.

2) Socio-economic issues aside, teenagers everywhere face the same problems.
Agree: because even if you live in China or Germany or America, kids/teenagers gernerally face the same problems though some are more severre than others. There's always a thought of fitting in, looking good, and friends/family among different religious beliefs and or wealth.

We don't ask to be heroes, it just sometimes turns out that way


Director: Ridley Scott
Actors: Ewan McGregor, Eric Bana, Josh Hartnett, Tom Sizemore, William Fichtner, Ewen Bremner, Orlando Bloom
Language: English
Producer: Jerry Bruckheimer

It’s October 1993 in Mogadishu Somalia. A group of elite U.S soldiers’ peacekeeping operation makes a tragic detour resulting in the US military’s single biggest firefight since Vietnam. A dramatic story based on actual events, this is a must see for all who’s war genre crazy! Amazingly realistic, this movie will bring you half way off your seat and almost ready to jump into the way yourself.

Black Hawk Down isn’t just about fighting in a bloody battle, but trying to survive to see another day. The US military’s mission to bring peace to Somalia became a mission to keep their soldiers alive. The crashing of many of the US military’s Black Hawks, helicopters, lead the soldiers to most of their deaths but what kept most of them alive was the will and strength of their fellow soldiers to never leave a man behind.

In my opinion, this movie shows a lot about teamwork and accepting death. I was mesmerized by how amazing the actors were in this film and how well it was all put together. If they had changed anything in this movie, it probably wouldn’t be as good. It also took my breathe away at how the movie impacted my perspective about warfare. When you hear the word ‘war’, guns and violence usually describe the images in your head but after watching this movie, I can think of so much more than just the killing of people.

All in all, I recommend this movie to anybody who enjoys a good war and action wild film because that’s exactly what you’d get.

This is the trailer of Black Hawk Down:

James Anthony “Buddy” Nielsen was born on February 18, 1984 and is currently the lead singer of the rock band Senses Fail

Buddy grew up in Ridgewood, New Jersey. His parents are Tom Nielsen and Lisa Brown who are both actors of the soap opera Guiding Lights and As the World Turns.

Senses Fail first entered the studios in 2002 with producer John Naclerio. Later they released their first album known as “The Depths of Dreams” They collection sold well and they soon started touring. After they finished touring, they got together with ‘Save the Day’ producer, Steve Evetts to record their next album “Let It Enfold You”. For Buddy, it was painstaking work trying to say everything they wanted to say in all the right ways. Buddy explains, “We killed ourselves over and over trying to say what we wanted, and make the record the best it could be. I just feel like we got lucky to be where we are now, and now we have to prove ourselves and really earn it."

Senses Fail continues to rock the stage and show people they’re worth listening to. Nielsen says, “We just love making music and writing good songs. I feel like I've got a lot more to say and we've got a lot more to contribute. But even if things ended tomorrow, we've gotten 10 times further than we ever expected to get and that makes us feel like we've succeeded regardless of what happens from here on."

Buddy has various tattoos on his left hand, neck, and shoulders. The most famous tattoo Buddy has are the words “Follow Your Bliss” across his chest. These words are mentioned in a couple of Senses Fail songs including “Can’t Be Saved” and “The Irony of Dying on Your Birthday”. ‘Follow Your Bliss’ is what Joseph Campbell approved as to live the life you ought to be, enjoying it as it should.
