Yeah, you read that headline right. Apparently, a social media event was created in hopes that a bunch of people would gather together and fire bullets into Hurricane Irma. The goal is to shoot the hurricane away.
Well, police in Florida clapped back at these idiots and posted the following warning on Twitter:
"To clarify, DO NOT shoot weapons @ #Irma. You won’t make it turn around & it will have very dangerous side effects."
The officer who posted the tweet also shared a graphic of the hurricane in a swirling motion, with the words: "Bullets come back, don't shoot."

 If you're wondering how many stupid people RSVP'd to this event, it is estimated that over 25,000 people thought it was an ingenious idea to shoot bullets at a Hurricane.

My Two Cents

I've been tracking this storm because I know people in Florida, personally, who are about to get walloped by this storm. I also know someone who was in the Dominican Republic on their honeymoon when the storm hit there.

This storm is no joke, and the fact that there are over 25K people out there who think it's a good idea to shoot bullets at a hurricane, makes me lose faith in all of humanity.

The officer who tweeted the graphic is right, the rotation of the hurricane will make the bullets come right back at you. But, hey! If you want to shoot bullets at a hurricane, I won't cry at your funeral. By all means, be an idiot.

Let this be a lesson to all you kids out there: Bath salts are bad..mmkay?

In all seriousness, I'm praying for all of you who are in the path of this behemoth storm. Be safe!

Tiny Home Living: Bodega

The tiny home movement has been sweeping the country for the past several years. People yearn for the simplicity of living in a tiny home, and with the way the economy is, it is no wonder the movement has grown so immensely. When it comes to tiny homes, you have the mobile tiny homes, where you can take your home anywhere you want to go. You have Yurts, which are incredible tiny homes to put down your roots in. One type of tiny home that is growing in popularity is a Bodega home. The Bodega is a very nice tiny home. The thing that makes the Bodega different than other tiny homes is that it isn't mobile. So if you plan on living in a Bodega home, make sure you have land to build it on. Your Bodega may cost you anywhere from $15,000 to $25,000 to build. On some Bodega homes, you are able to expand the space for an extra bedroom or home office. Bodega homes can be as small as 65sq feet, and as large as 800sq feet.

Photo credit: screenrant Fans who were awaiting the season premiere of "The Last Ship" last night were met with disappointment. TNT decided to postpone the season 3 premiere due to the tragedy that took place in Orlando, Florida in the early hours of Sunday morning. At least 50 people died, and another 53 were injured when a gunman opened fire at a popular club in Florida. Season 3 of "The Last Ship" was to open with gunshots being fired at a nightclub full of patrons. TNT has not announced a new premiere date for the season premiere of "The Last Ship." My Two Cents I am really glad that TNT had enough respect to postpone the premiere. Even though I am a fan of the show, I think it would be inappropriate to show an episode involving that subject matter. Thank you, TNT! On a personal note, last night my best friend from college told me that a girl that we went to college with was among the victims of the Pulse tragedy: KJ Morris. I didn

Photo Credit: ravishly Actor/Fellow Blogger/My First Crush, Wil Wheaton, went on the attack after Paul Ryan sent out his prayers and condolences to the victims of the Church shooting tragedy. Ryan tweeted for a "call to prayer." Wheaton subsequently posted the following in response: "The murdered victims were in a church. If prayers did anything, they'd still be alive, you worthless sack of s**t." After receiving a TON of backlash, Wheaton tried to explain his tweet in a series of later tweets: "Hey, real and actual people of faith: I hear you. I apologise for insulting you, in my rage at Paul Ryan's refusal to address gun violence." He also stated that Paul Ryan is someone who exploits his faith by hiding behind his words without conducting actual good deeds. Wheaton also expressed his upset that Ryan refused to address gun violence. My Two Cents The thing I love about Wil Wheaton is that he is not afraid of expressing his opinion.
