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.
Cheers

Latinos helped re-elect President Obama and Latinos will vastly propel the horror and paranormal film genres forward. My mom used to watch horror films every other weekend in the movie theater (when we had disposable income). We would stay up late to watch horror films on late night television. She […]
Growing up I loved, loved, loved watching Scooby-Doo. You know the cartoon series that started September 13, 1969 that involves a group of four teenaged mystery solvers and their dog named Scooby Doo. I loved the group dynamics and I have always had a fondness for mysteries. I […]
Have you ever participated in a psychological survey or study in which you were asked to list your top 5 or 10 self-descriptors?

Have you ever seen the movie “Night at the Museum” or “Mannequin”? Did you read the recent news-story of the man who lived at Ikea for a few weeks while he was displaced? Have you ever wanted to sleep overnight at a store or a Broadway theatre; […]
Happy birthday mom! Today you would have been 68 years old. I can’t help but think about what you are doing now. I hope that you are enjoying a good Blake poem, listening to your favorite country western music and watching your favorite horror movie from high […]
