Today is the third month anniversary of the fire that Mary and I experience on October 17, 2013. As some of my closest followers know, I have not posted a single blog post since then. The recovery process, was, just too much and draining. Nevertheless, with some help from you, our followers, our friends, American Red Cross, and our families support, we are now in a better place. Professionally, I am now in a better position to begin blogging again for The Silent Grapevine and with my personal blog as well.

I plan on keeping this short, but I plan on telling my personal story about my experience on my personal blog about what I went through and the experiences that I learned along the way. I urge you to participate and share your stories as well. I think society as a whole can learn so much from each other with the stories we have and to share those stories, to help ourselves and others, move on.

As for the Silent Grapevine, my goal is straight-forward: to get a million page views within the next six months. My goal is to make the Silent Grapevine the #1 place when people can get the latest news on just about anything! My goal is huge, risky and going out on a limb, but with your help, it can be done! Social media is an amazing tool; if we can use this tool well, we can help create more deaf awareness with the stories, videos and what we share with others!

Again, thank you to those who donated and supported Mary and I through our difficult transition from the fire.

Update: As some of you know, Mary and I was in a fire 16 days ago. I have some great news! Mary and I have found a new place to live! However, we also found out that we could only recover about 50% of everything we had from the fire. That means we were not able to recover all of our clothes, our kitchen stuff, our furniture, our bed, and our desks. So, we are going to need your help as much as possible! Mary and I got a new bank account specifically for donations/funds. If any of you interested to help out, you can send money via PayPal by going to www.thomsenyoung.com and click on donation under Thomsen and Mary Fire Donation or send us store gift cards or clothes or anything. Please inbox me for information and mailing address. Thank you! It would be greatly appreciated!

We would love to take the time to thank many of you who has helped us out by helping us with a temporary place to stay to the American Red Cross to our family and friends who are helping us get through this difficult experience! Thank you! Mary and I cannot wait to move into our new place and get settled on Monday.

If you want my mailing address to send me something or holiday cards, please email me.

Again, we thank you for all your help! :-)

GET TO KNOW YOU TOO MUCH- GTKYTM.

If there's one thing that I'm afraid of is GTKYTM. There are some people out in the world that shares way too much personal information about themselves and sometimes their significant others.

I'm not saying I'm against sharing information, but too much of it. Some people live off of knowing every little details about your life. Some people live happier knowing very little about your life.

Some need a little of both.

GTKYTM is becoming a problem in the United States especially now that we're in the mobile digital age. Majority of most Americans report that they have a Facebook account. And if they don't, you can be sure that today's teenagers will sign up and have an Instagram account (which again is owned by Facebook).

GTKYTM is when overload of your personal information is share publicly without the need of strict permission. In other words, Facebook allows you to bypass that by allowing you to share everything and just too much of anything. Including allowing users and potential employer to research about what you like and dislikes.

Yet, we have reach the point where Americans just can't help themselves and they have a need to know what's going on or must need to know more about a specific individual. It's not exactly a disease; yet, it's not exact an epidemic either.

GTKYTM need a fair and balanced approach. How that should be implemented should be discovered with an open discussion between all walks of life, yet, it should be blunt as well.

Simple.

Keep it as a "on a need to know" mentality should do the trick.

I dare you to say.

Do I need to say more?

I wanted to take the time now to recall my experience going to my second Giants baseball game in three years. It's always a special moment going to a baseball game; it's even more of a special moment when you go to a baseball game with friends and colleagues. Sometimes you have to figure out how to keep work and personal life separate, however, at times, it can work in the best interest to go out and enjoy the company of your co-workers.

My favorite memory is enjoying getting up out of my seat after a home run or a run to home play and giving my colleagues high five! We talked about anything and everything. From future jobs to movies to what my colleagues wifes were up to. I enjoyed the sipping a cold hefe beer with the Bay wind pressing upon my face.

Good memories. Yet, great memories are the ones when your favorite baseball team wins one at home.

Why?

Go to a baseball game and find out why. :-)

So my girlfriend finally got her wish: she wanted to see World War Z. I on the other hand wasn't all that excited about it. The earlier reviews were mixed. Thus, I wanted to wait until it came out on either Redbox or Netflix because I didn't want to spend $40 for the whole movie experience and then be mad at myself for wasting my money and time.

She kept asking to go see it and I kept putting it off... But then, she got confident and decided since it was already out on Redbox that she surprised me!

Movie night tonight!

Now the review: I think the movie wasn't that bad. I think it needs more improvement in the dialogue as well as the general overall storyline. The storyline is quite vague a day there wasn't enough information for the audience to take away from the movie. Especially at the end of the movie...

The acting was pretty solid for the most part, but I felt that it needed more fun moments to get the audience to feel like if it was them in the movie they would need a fun, strange sense of humor with all that is going on.

The computer graphics were awesome, but at times, I felt that in some scenes in the movie they were unrealistic. However, I can understand why most of the movie needed that much computer graphics. Point said, I think the second part should focus more on the storyline and focus more on the human elements of the movie.

To be honest, there were not really tons of classic or memorable lines in the movie, only one I thought that was memorable is one of the scenes in movie... At the end, when Brad Pitt finally takes a break and gets a sip of Pepsi.

My vote 3/5 stars.

Nowadays, it seems like college is required to get almost any job out there. On an application and during interviews, employers want to know where you went to college and what you majored in. This all-important qualification is certainly a worthy goal, but with the expenses of tuition that are steadily rising, how can young adults be expected to afford the costs?

Unfortunately, far too many people succumb to the idea of student loans and this only makes for piles of debt after college. Nearly two million people over the age of sixty are still paying off debt that they accumulated in college due to loans. Rather than getting sucked into this vicious cycle, find out more with this helpful infographic. It's better to become educated before you get on campus, avidly working towards your career.

Utter genius.

I'm confused.

Can someone explain it to me more clearly?

First, I'm writing this post just for clarity. I'm not writing this post to belittle anyone. I'm not writing this post to go against anyone in the American government. And, I'm specifically not writing this post to go against the President of the United States.

In fact, I'm a huge fan of the President of the United States, President Obama. I predicted that he would be the next President of the United States when he was a two-term Senator. Everyone was shocked to find out that I was right.

I'm writing this post for myself.

Just to make sure that I understand clearly what has been happening in the last year.

In August, President Obama said that the "red" line for US involvement would be if Syria used chemical weapons during their civil war. At the time, I thought to myself, well, that make sense, chemical weapons on a massive scale is extremely deadly. Yet, at the time, between 20 to 30,000 people were killed. On January, 2, 2013, the UN reported that 60,000 were killed in the war.

I'm confused.

You, President Obama, waited until 150 people were killed by chemical gas, as the "red line"?

And now, according to UN, 90,000 people have been killed?

Why didn't you do something when the first 1,000 people were being killed?

Why didn't you do something when the first 10,000 people were being killed?

Why didn't you do something when the first 100,000 people were being killed? Wait, we haven't gotten to that number....yet?

Mr. President, as a man who love history and the Constitution of the United States, havent you learned anything yet?

France came to our aid when the English was trying to quell the American rebellion.

Mr. President, haven't you learned that when a rebellion starts, that you must choose a side.

You cannot, must not, remain neutral when a country wants democracy!

Exactly, my point NYtimes.com.
