I love to travel, try new foods (both simple and "exotic"), ingest caffeine, and watch political news coverage. Im a big pop culture junkie who isnt afraid to say she loves "In Touch" Magazine! A social marketing expert and psychologist by training who works in the public health field trying to bring a little common sense to it all.
All the world is my television and I like to provide commentary on it.
Cheers

I like to laugh. Now that may seem as an odd statement to make. It would seem that everyone likes to laugh. Who can say no to laughing, really? Even curmudgeons are going to laugh every once in a while. I would even venture to guess […]
We’re four misfits who don’t belong together, we’re playing for other misfits. They’re the outcasts right at the back of the room. We’re pretty sure they don’t belong either. We belong to them. — Bohemian Rhapsody I believe that back in May, I watched my first trailer for […]
That smell. That horrid smell. She couldn’t quite place it but it lingered. It was putrid. Revolting. Inescapable yet undetermined. Revolting. Amazing that something so horrific could be intertwined with such serenity and beauty. She would be in awe if it were not for how putrid it all […]
This Thanksgiving I went for less. I didn’t feel the need to gorge myself and have 101 different types of pies. Not that I have ever really done that but you get the point. I wanted sinplicity this Thanksgiving as this year has been the total opposite for […]
