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!

All the world is my television and I like to provide commentary on it.

It’s a bright, sunny loved-filled day: Happy birthday my wonderful son!

It was starting earlier than anticipated
They were exhausted from all their pacing during the past 24 hours. They had smoked up a storm and even prayed to the tiki gods, sort of speak. They sat cross-legged and rocked their bodies. Not in unison, however. They were too keyed up in their own minds. […]
You are still haunted by us
A guilty conscience doesn’t go away overnight No matter how much you whisper to your pillow No matter how much you tear at the feathers No matter how much you clench your fists A guilty conscience will still gnaw at you Even in a happy, random moment Even […]
Of course you are!
Of course you are Upset Frustrated Angry Tired Annoyed Incredulous Frightened Weary Worried Unsure Beaten-down Enraged Aggrieved Disappointed Anxious Conflicted Alarmed Antagonized In need of a real answer Waiting for the other shoe to drop Sickened by it all But what are you going to do about it?
You take the fight right to them and then you don’t back down
“All my life, I have been fighting for the Davids against the Goliaths. Advocating for people that have been pushed around and intimidated by bullies. There is only one way to prevail – you take the fight right to them. And then you don’t back down.” -Michael Avenatti. […]
