My Best Free Game Site

Kw Benjamin’s blog is about a little bit of everything but I have always been interested in video games and have always enjoyed playing them.  I had a few games on this site but there was just not enough room to fully enjoy them.  This led me to create Kw Entertainment, which is basically a site for you to enjoy while you read my post or in the times between my posts.  They are free to everyone and have new games add almost every day.  What is different about this blog/game site?

Have you ever found a game site that has only good games on it?  Have you ever seen a game site that you only get the best versions of the game?  Are you looking for games for your blog site?  Or are you looking to play up to 4 games at one time?  http://bestfreeonlinegamesblog.blogspot.com/ , In my opinion this is the best free online games for any blog site, and some of the best for websites.  All games are free to play as many times as you want.

The site is slowly improving and has only been running for just over a week but has almost 100 games add to it and more than 1000 views.  At the moment you can play, rate, and comment on the games.  For the best game play click on the title.  I have personal played each and every one of the games entered into Kw Entertainment and enjoyed them all.  Oybo games on the site allow you to upload your score to facebook and challenge other friends.

Blogger Report: Save a Belleville, Ontario Landmark !!

Tweet

The Memorial Arena in Belleville, Ontario is a landmark to the locals.  In my opinion, it should be a Canadian landmark.

The Memorial Arena was built in 1929, and was home of the Belleville Mac Farlands.  The history behind this building in Belleville is huge, from it's millions of visitors, all the way back to its renaming in 1946.  In 1946, the Hume Arena was renamed the Memorial Arena.  This arena was the home rink of some of our greatest OHL, and NHL players. 

The Memorial Arena is the second oldest arena in the world, located in Belleville, Ontario Canada.  The Oldest Arena is in Cambridge, Ontario, also in Canada.  The Galt Arena was opened in 1922, in Cambridge, Ontario, Canada.  Both arenas still function today, although the Memorial Arena is having problems and there is talk of closing it down and ruin it historically.  Both Arenas should be made Canadian landmarks and should be protected for those reasons.

Need more reasons to help save the Memorial Arena? There are plenty.

There are ways we can Support the Memorial Arena.

Kraft Hockeyville has a campaign running at the moment.  You could have submitted a post about memories you have at the different building but the posted were closed as of January 30, 2011.  Now is the important part, we need to vote on the arena that should win to get $ 100,000, we need to vote for the Memorial Arena in Belleville, Ontario.
Voting Starts March 8^th, Be Ready Please.

Although the Memorial Arena may need more than $ 100,000 dollars to be made a state of the art sports arena, it is a good start to keeping it around forever.  We need to bring awareness to this issue and fast.

We Need As Much Support As Possible.  Please Join this on Facebook.

Loyalist PR Offers Free Hugs at Loyalist College

Monday, February 14, 2011, (Valentine’s Day), Loyalist PR was holding up signs displaying “Free Hugs” as they were handing out free hugs to all whom were willing. 

The class had learn about a man that had started this trend a little while ago, by standing around in a business high traffic area and held up a sign for hours that said “Free Hugs”.  He carried this same process for the following couple weeks.  He had made Feb 14^th “Free Hug Day”.

The video shows you his progress throughout the weeks, but it really shows how untrusting people are in the world.  I am not going to tell you what happens in the video I will let you watch it below.  It’s a god inspiring video.  

In my opinion, everyone does need a hug or something to make them happy everyday but to stand around hugging random people is still a little weird to me and creepy.  Most people are good people but as we all know there are some extremely “different people in the world with a lot of different problems.”  There would always be someone that would take it too far.

The only reason I really did it was because it was at Loyalist College, if it was say downtown, would have made it a lot different.  I’m not sure if anyone would stand down there offering free hugs to everyone.  I still have no idea what this had to do with public relationship other than how friendly people really are.  Still is one of the more interesting lessons this semester at Loyalist College with Loyalist PR.

I support the Free Hug Campaign.
