I’ve attempted to play Guitar Hero, but evidentally I’m over the legal age limit for coordination. I’ve watched my nephew play for hours and he’s pretty darn good. But, Danny Johnson of Texas has taken the Guitar Hero game to new heights. He just set record for playing Guitar Hero and has gotten himself in the Guiness Book of World Records. Check out his story:

Every now and then you come across someone who completely amazes you with their talent. A friend sent me a link to a YouTube video of Jonah. Jonah is 4 years old and he taught himself to play drums. And, I mean play drums! None of that beating on coffee can stuff for Jonah. Jonah plays AC/DC, Green Day, the Who, and many more.
Johah started playing drums at the ripe old age of 3 1/2. According to his YouTube profile, he’s never had any lessons. He learned how to play drums by watching others.
Amazing, isn’t it? I expect great things from this kid some day in the future. And, I can say “Why, I saw him on YouTube when he was 4!”
You can see Jonah’s video’s from the beginning of his career: Jonah on YouTube

Senator Patrick Leahy has a role in the new Batman movie. He’s no movie star. He’s a star in my book though.
Leahy is donation all the money made from his part in the Dark Knight to his childhood haunt, the Kellogg-Hubbard Library in Montpelier, VT. At four years old, Leahy got his first library card at that branch. He considers it one of the biggest moments of his life and wants other kids to have the same experience. The money will help fund the children’s section.
In addition to the money he earned from the movie, various fund raisers have been held with special screenings of the film. All proceeds go to the library.
