Did You Know…?

Found this pretty interesting article on Barack Obama’s long lost brother, actually half-brother. His name is George Hussein Onyango Obama and he lives in a small shack on the outskirts of Nairobi, Kenya.  He lives on less than a dollar a month. 
You can read up on it here.

Interesting note:  The Illinois senator mentions his brother in his autobiography, describing him in just one passing paragraph as a “beautiful boy with a rounded head”.

If you haven’t checked it out before, here’s your chance.  I try to keep everyone up to date on what we’re Currently Listening To and what we’re Currently Reading.  Check it out!  You actually might find something useful.

The links category is nice too.  Those our links to our friends and family who have joined the blogosphere.  That’s an actual word here at PateWatch.  One link to take note of is Albemarle First Music because I also blog there about our services and other Christian topics.  I recently started this weekly subject called the “Worship Confessional”.  Yeah…I ripped the idea from a worship leader blogger.

And if you scroll down even further, you can peek into our collection of pictures and favorite videos.  Enjoy!

Isolated Tribe in BrazilMore than half the world’s 100 uncontacted tribes live in Brazil or Peru.  The government of Brazil reported that they have images of one of the isolated indigenous tribes along the Brazil/Peru border to prove their existence.  To think about what these people must be thinking is well…crazy.  They may have never seen this plane or helicopter before and as some of the other images show in this article (linked below), they are shooting at the aircraft (with bows and arrows, of course).  You must wonder if they think they have a lot of food in front of them or if they are simply protecting their land.
