DMX MAY GET MORE TIME ADDED TO HIS SENTENCE!
Rapper DMX is in more trouble behind bars after "allegedly" attacking a prison officer.
The rap star, real name Earl Simmons, is serving time for drug possession, animal cruelty and theft in an Arizona prison, and he may have just extended his stay.
Rolling Stone magazine reports he assaulted an officer while in lockdown.
The rapper was only expected to serve 90 days in jail, plus an additional 18 months of supervised probation.
DMX may be charged with felony aggravated assault, which carries a possible eight-year sentence.
Hold ya head D get out of that hell hole!
FACEBOOK MYSPACE AND OTHER MEDIA SOCIAL INTERACTING SITES IS IT SAFE OR ARE WE GETTING DUMBER BY THE MIN?
I remember before there was cell phones and i had to memorize all my numbers as well as have them written down in a address book... Those days are over with ipods, cell phones, blackberries ,computers and a multitude of other distractions we are in the information age but i also believe we are getting dumber. Not in the traditional sense but in the sense that we take things for granted and we are more prone to be lazy when its easier to get a robot to do it for us. This is what scientists are saying:
"FACEBOOK, MySpace and other social networking websites are rewiring children's brains making them more self-centered and reducing their attention spans, a neuroscientist has warned.
The nature of communication on the sites could stunt development of the brain, Oxford University neuroscientist Susan Greenfield said.
"We know how small babies need constant reassurance that they exist", she told the UK's Daily Mail.
"My fear is that these technologies are infantilising the brain into the state of small children who are attracted by buzzing noises and bright lights, who have a small attention span and who live for the moment."
Lady Greenfield has previously said exposure to computer games, action movies, chat rooms and social networking sites could leave a generation with poor attention spans.
"I often wonder whether real conversation in real time may eventually give way to these sanitised and easier screen dialogues, in much the same way as killing, skinning and butchering an animal to eat has been replaced by the convenience of packages of meat on the supermarket shelf," she told the UK Parliament."
