With our recent purchase of a Playstation 3, I went out and used a Best Buy gift card (Thanks Mark and Miranda!!) to help purchase Planet Earth in Blu Ray. I dragged my friend Jean with me on our way to karate to buy it, haha.</p>
<p>I'm someone who's easily impressed by nature (watching the lightning from our balcony during thunderstorms is a favorite passtime), and man, it's really something else. I don't know how they were able to capture some of the scenes they have in there, but I highly recommend it to everyone!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This video is of a guy named Matt Harding, and he travels the globe while filming himself doing a pretty hilariously bad dance. I actually found it to be pretty inspiring, how such a basic human condition that resides in all of us can bring us all together. It reminds me of how a smile isn't specific to language or culture, it is indeed part of the universal human language.</p>
