1979

I am now in California. We moved when I was two months old so technically I am a Californian, minus two months. In 1975 my brother was born, and there went my only child status. Thanks bro.I type the year and so many memories flood my mind like a tidal wave. So many things happened in this year. Where to begin? Let’s start off with the fact I was eight and in the third grade. I was in a class that the teacher was not very good or attentive. I think she hated her life. The kids in that class, I included,...

1971

I took a creative non-fiction writing class some years back. It allowed those of us to explore our pasts, or anything/anyone we came in contact with and write about it, but in a creative fiction type way. I am really glad I took that class as it has helped me to explore the world around me differently. Now I look on each experience as my next piece to write. Enjoy!My mom and dad had been married for a year. She was twenty-one. He was twenty-nine. They both grew up in a miniscule town (or parish...

Book review: Green by Ted Dekker

Green by Ted Dekker is a fantasy thriller that is immersed in biblical lore with a heavy dose of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings and C.S. Lewis’s Narnia Series. It starts in the future and ends in the past. And it quite takes your breath away with the sheer imagery created.I am a new reader to this series. I almost didn’t choose to read the book, because I saw there were three books before it,...

The case of the food snatcher!

Ok it takes a lot to really, really make my blood boil, but this morning it happened! I like so many people, buy breakfast/lunch almost everyday for work. Well this past pay period is a serious poor one for me to the point that I only have money for gas, so I had to make due with a loaf of bread and ham. Which is fine. I had been eating ham sandwiches all week. I planned it out to the point that I...

My son: An absolute Terror

My youngest who is fourteen, has been giving me grief since 7th grade. He is now in the 10th grade and has been on restriction before school started this term. The thing with him is he needs boundaries as he has trouble listening. And he also has a problem with lying.Since the 7th grade, I've tried everything I could do to keep him in line. His whole attitude is him not caring, which if you're a parent...

Why I believe the animal kingdom is preparing to attack humans!

For years, we as humans have been preparing for a possible attack from outer space. But what if the attack against humanity isn’t from the stars but from here on Earth, from the other species?That’s right I am talking about animals. For some time now, I believe that they have been holding secret meetings out in the woods, zoos and anywhere else they reside, to start a war against us humans.With all...

HTML 101

I am loving the whole blogging experiencing so far and I’ve even looked at other people’s templates to kind gauge how I want my own presented. But the one thing that has eluded me is the blogger badge html! I want to show myself off but how can I? I finally figured out what to do as far as photoshop and such, but I don’t have a clue on the html. So if anyone is willing to help a sister out, I’d be much obliged, and of course an exchange of links would be a given. So I implore you,...

Scripted TV shows: Is Reality TV finally going away?

I saw Glee last night. I’ve come to the conclusion that finally, after a long, endless parade of “reality” TV from housewives who don’t know how to act to the VH-1 crazy spin-off of a spin-off of a spin-off that TV is finally coming back to great scripted shows with a vengeance.At least I truly hope so! Don’t get me wrong, I love the dance shows and the other talent competitions, but there are just...

President Obama: Kanye West is a Jackass

I just wanted to put it out there. The POTUS rocks! And I know people love him or hate him but when it comes to the real issues this man always has an opinion. Take a listen to the audio:The POTUS lays it all out. But of course his naysayers will say something about him expressing his opionion, though the White house as of yet have not given an official apology, which makes me think the POTUS is sticking to this.Of course when the president calls you a Jackass, that means you really messed up big...

On Jay Leno's brand new show, he did an impromtu interview with the infamous Kanye West and point blank asked him towards the end of the interview, what would his mother think?Kanye was quiet for a few seconds and I seriously thought he would cry.

The symbolic colors of Twilight

After seeing the trailer again for New Moon, I am more than convinced that this second installment will be top notch. Now there is a color scheme that I noticed throughout the scenes as well as the title that I feel has some symbolic meaning.In Twilight it was all about the silver tones which gave the film and overall washed out look to it. Like a pale moon or twilight evening. This to me means that this was about the vampires and their story.In New Moon the color tones are orange based which indicate...

I actually Hate the show Vampire Diaries!!

That's right folks I completely hate the liberties the writers took with this show. I was hyped about another vampire tv to the point I purchased the book.

Book review: Fearless by Max Lucado

Book Description Each sunrise seems to bring fresh reasons for fear. They're talking layoffs at work, slowdowns in the economy, flare-ups in the Middle East, turnovers at headquarters, downturns in the housing market, upswings in global warming. The plague of our day, terrorism, begins with the word terror. Fear, it seems, has taken up a hundred-year lease on the building next door and set up shop....

District 9...A Kick A$$ Movie!

Saw District 9 yesterday on Labor Day. OMG!!! This movie was ridicoulous with the visual effects, which I had read somewhere that the budget for this film was pretty low. The aliens looked so real and the interaction with the aliens looked real.So here is the quick rundown. Twenty years ago, an alien ship stopped over South Africa and for the first 3 months nothing happened, so the military decided...

True Blood Season 2...Nothing like the book

Just saw the next to last episode and WOW! There is only one episode left until next season! I have already read the books so I know how it ends, but the show, which is WAY better than season one which I could not take, has some things that are not like the book.Example when they are in Dallas, the hotel gets blown up, not Godric's abode, and it was done in the daytime, when they were at their weakest....

In this new movie, the vamps are in charge while they farm the remaining humans for blood....
