So, not everyone is perfect, I admit, far be it from me to claim that I am so. Especially since I (ahem) might have ignored my own advice on movies. Yah, hee hee hee, not that smart of me. So my dad bought Little Red Riding Hood yesterday (the new one) and we were going to watch it on Clearplay (the movie is rated PG-13 but this edits is down to PG) so I justified it thinking, oh it'll be edited, I'm sure it'll be just fine. Yahhh, it wasn't. You see the first sign was that the trailer was creepy, the cover of the movie looked creepy, all the actor's had been in questionable movies, people who saw it said it was creepy. And unfortunately clearplay cannot take away Creepy. Anyways, this movie was STRANGE. I cannot emphasis it enough. Do not see it! And I'll even be helpful and tell you that Valerie (little red riding hood) gets with Peter, instead of Henry, the guy she's suppose to marry, and the wolf is her father. This movie is way to creepy, violent,dark and disturbing!! I would not recomend it.
So the moral of this little story is that the tips I give really are helpful and can save you from tough choices and creepy movies that give you nightmares. Make a good choice and follow the tips given for entertainment because they really do work, I have given evidence it works and proof of what happens if you don't follow the tips. So just follow them and you will be one happy bisect.
This is a Blog for my personal Progress. In today's entertainment it is hard to find good things to keep you busy. Listed here are clean movies, clean books, and clean music. Enjoy!

Things to beware of at the book store
Soo... Today I went to Barnes and Nobles to find some good books to read and whilst browsing I was mortified by the fact that only three genre's were present: Apocalyptic, Vampire romance, and Paranormal. Erg.. I am so over the Hunger Games theme. Really, we get it, I could probably tell you the story line of every apocalyptic book in that library. Oh no, the world is ending, it's not a good one, only the main character can restore order. The main character meets up with some peeps and falls in love. Oh no some one dies and they keep being attacked as they try to take down the reigning government. More people die, a love triangle forms, and the main defeats all. The end. Except for it's not. Because there are so many books of that genre and they're all violence. My advice, stay AWAY from them, like 12 feet. They may seem like the only thing there, but nay, you are incorrect. Cuz I found some that aren't doomsday.
Vampire Romance, really Stephanie Meyer, really? Why did you inflict this upon human kind? The Twilight saga was bad enough without you inspiring more books with the SAME storyline. I mean your probably a nice person and everything but have you looked around Barnes and nobles? There are cheap rip offs of your book EVERYWHERE!(well I guess not your book, but the book you copied your book from that I read and I know it's copied because the real story was published in 1995!). Yah, don't do these books. They are dark and creepy and make you less intelligent. Also romance books in general. Sure romance is lots of fun to read, but in moderation. If it gets to heavy just stop reading, it's not as hard as you think. The new section at barnes and nobles titled "romance" is one to be avoided. The entire storyline is romance, which gets old after a while and these books go a smidge to into detail.
Paranormal: Hey, wait, but I thought you once said you love fantasy. You see my friends I do, but at Barnes and Nobles they have created a whole new section called the paranormal section. In it holds the dark tales of wiches, vampires, werewolves, so on and so forth. The fiction section keeps the fantasy books safe and unblemished from the creepy paranormal books. I mean these books are so dark and strange that they had to make a new section for them. That should tell you something.
Ok then, what can I buy, since you've pretty much eliminated all my options? Well, listed in this blog are great books, do the tests to see if a book is good, there are other sections at barnes like the classics, history, the LDS section, teen fiction, regular fiction. This bookstore is huge and if you tell me you can't find anything, you are not trying hard enough.
Also a way nicer place to look for books is Deseret Books. It doesn't smell like coffee but fresh bread and you're more likely to make a good choice if you've got the prophet staring at you from the front page of his biography. Now I'm not saying all the books you get will be clean there (Twilight was once sold on those shelves before they came to there senses and made it go bye bye), you still need to do all the tests, but you have a better shot of getting cleaner books. Just look in the Fiction and Teen fiction sections.
