Drugs are Bad MmmKay

Leonardo DiCaprio is not your typical A List celebrity. Rather than becoming a junkie (Lindsay) or becoming self-obsessed and flying private jets and being surrounded by body guards, Leo is just your average run of the mill kind of guy.

Recently in an interview he spoke about why he was never tempted into using drugs:

“My mother and I lived at Hollywood and Western [in Los Angeles] – a drug dealer and prostitute corner. It was pretty terrifying. I got beat up a lot. I saw people having sex in the alleys. I remember I was five years old and this guy with a trench coat, needles and crack cornered me. Seeing the devastation on my block, seeing heroin addicts, made me think twice about ever getting involved in drugs. It’s evil.”

He also talked about why he’s not star material:

“I don’t really have an extravagant life. I don’t fly private jets, I don’t have bodyguards and I don’t buy crazy things. I’m not the sort of person who tries to be cool or trendy. I’m not interested in being ‘a star’.”

You’re a class act Leo. That’s why we love you.

Ashtyn is definitely the casual gamer in the family. A game fan since she owned an Atari, Ashtyn can remember when her brother rigged the television so he wouldn't lose his Super Mario Bros. game. That is, until the power went out! A fan of all things Mario, Ashtyn is a Nintendo loyalist. She digs playing Mario-style RPG games, watching others play violent shooters (because she sucks at them), and playing casual PC games (like Wedding Dash and Cake Mania). As of now, she is into the Wii and Nintendo DS, though she's certain the games for PS3 and Xbox 360 are more appealing.
