Christina Aguilera "Rocks Out" her baby

Is it just me, or do too many people not really care about Christina and her baby? What seems to be getting more attention are her twins. She is kicking off the new campaign for the Rock the Vote organization.

"In the new broadcast ad, set to debut later this summer, Aguilera sings a lullaby of "America the Beautiful" to her son, who was born in January. The Grammy winner said she didn't think twice about putting her son in the spot because it's "inevitable that he will be subjected to some amount of press," so it might as well be channeled into a good cause."

If you go to Costa Rica and want to bring back a stray pet, make sure you REALLY want it!

So let's say you're in Costa Rica for whatever reason and you absolutely fall in love with a stray cat or dog. You want to bring it back home to the States. What do you do? I honestly didn't think you could, or if you could it would be a huge hassle. Here is a bit of info:

"If you are going back to the States, or Canada, it is actually very easy. The dog, or cat, will need to receive all the required vaccinations, including rabies. Any vet will know what to do, and they will then provide you with a certificate that you will need to present at the airport, prior to your trip. Upon arrival on U.S. or Canadian soil, domestic dogs or cats must be free of evidence of diseases that can be contracted by humans. If the animal is not in apparent good health, further examination by a licensed veterinarian may be required at the owner’s expense."

Teaching Black and Hispanic kids how to swim

This is just a follow up on a previous story I had mentioned.

"When Kelvin Franklin heard the results from a recent national study that nearly 60 percent of black children cannot swim, he was not surprised.
As aquatics director at the YMCA's Shades Valley branch, Franklin sees firsthand that minority youths are not as likely as white children to take swimming lessons, mirroring the survey taken by USA Swimming. "

I celebrated the 3rd anniversary of my 21st birthday!

Ok so I'm 24 now. No idea what that is supposed to mean. I don't feel like a complete grown up, or a kid either. My birthday was on Saturday and it definitely didn't feel like it was my birthday. Just wanted to break away from the usual J. Lo/Salma/Spanish/whatever news and talk about good ol' me :)
