Worried for my Daughter

Thanks for the post from Sylvester Campbell

My daughter is biting off more than she can chew and there’s nothing I can do to stop her. She’s a grown woman, almost thirty years old, and though I see her making a huge mistake there’s nothing I can do to stop her from doing it. She’s buying an old house and she says she’s going to renovate it which I think is absurd. It’s not like she has any construction experience or knows anything about how to restore a house. She’s really excited about installing all kinds of “green” things in the house and she’s had me on electriccompaniesindallas.com looking up energy companies in her area that are good for the environment and also cheap. That’s the biggest thing – it’s like how in the world does she think she’s going to be able to afford to pay for this?! I know the house was a good deal but I don’t thinks she’s done enough research on how much things cost. For example, those eco-friendly bamboo floors that she loves? They’re really expensive per square foot relative to regular hardwoods and she also wants to spring for the super expensive heating system and the tankless hot water heater. She’s always been a real go getter and I love how much enthusiasm she has for this project but I’m just really worried about how much she’s diving into without really thinking of the consequences. It’s been a long road getting financially stable for my husband and I and she doesn’t really know the extent of how much debt we had been in. I just hope she doesn’t expect us to cut her a check if she ends up needing money – we don’t have any money to give her. She’s a smart girl and I know she’s got savings so I’m not that worried. It’s just as a mother, I want the best for her and I want to protect her from everything and all of life’s hardships.

Batman: Arkham Origins Full Trailer

Here’s the full blown trailer of Batman Arkham Origins. This takes place several years before the prequel of Batman Arkham Asylum and Batman Arkham City. Here’s the info straight from Wikipedia:

“The events of Arkham Origins are set several years before Batman: Arkham Asylum, in the middle of winter in fictional Gotham City. Batman is an experienced crime-fighter, but has not yet become the veteran superhero portrayed in Arkham Asylum and Arkham City. He remains a mysterious force with even the police unsure if he is a vigilante, a myth or supernatural. Batman has battled with normal criminals and gangsters and is used to being stronger and faster than his targets, but on a snowy Christmas eve he is confronted with far more dangerous enemies: super villains tasked with killing Batman. The sadistic and brutal Black Mask has placed a bounty on the superhero, and Batman must discover why the villain harbors a deep hatred for him. Black Mask is the most powerful man in the city, possessing vast wealth and resources, and controls Gotham’s criminal underworld, having eliminated his opposition and begun consolidating his power. His mask conceals his identity, allowing him to operate publicly as Roman Sionis, head of Janus Cosmetics. Black Mask’s henchmen help instigate a rise in crime and gang activity in the city. Captain James Gordon and the Gotham City Police Department are wary of the new superhero in their midst, and are not his allies with corrupt cops actively working against him. Arkham Origins will feature the debut of the assassin Deathstroke, Alberto Falcone, and the return of the Penguin and Batman’s butler Alfred Pennyworth from Arkham City. The story is also intended to explore the relationship between Batman and Alfred. Batman sees Alfred as a reminder of his parents’ deaths, and an overbearing parental figure, while Alfred sees Batman as a spoiled child squandering his inheritance on his vigilante crusade, causing the two to repeatedly clash in the plot. The story takes place before the existence of Batman’s sidekick, Robin.

Old Gotham, the segment of Gotham City which will become the Arkham City prison, is not yet walled off or ravaged by flood, and contains slums, lower buildings, a large shopping mall, and docks where Penguin’s ship The Final Offer is stationed. Across the bridge from Old Gotham is New Gotham, the more modern metropolitan area of the city filled with towering skyscrapers.”

Release date of Batman: Arkham Origins is due this fall, October 25, 2013.
