I’m Getting Married!!! Yes, I meant to write this beautiful, detailed post of our trip to Canada, the Proposal and and everything but time and procrastination has got the better of me and I haven’t been able to. But I will, just not right now. I have a ton of cleaning to get to but […]
Speechless
..oddly, Speechless is a song I love by Michael Jackson. How can you measure this man? I don’t think you can. Millions and millions of people are mourning the loss of a man who broke barriers, entertained and will live forever through an amazing musical talent that will never be duplicated.

What Would Jesus Say About Miss California
What Would Jesus Say About Miss California? by Rabbi Shmuley Boteach Miss California, Carrie Prejean, has vented her righteous indignation.

This is What You Call Service
I’ve reached a level of anger beyond words. This time, it’s so high that I’m ready to commit terroristic acts to make them realize just how deep my hatred is at this very moment.

Sad Eyes
Sometimes, if I concentrate real hard, I can hear him talking. His thick Nigerian accent, hard to understand to others, was a joy to my ears; the years of living in America never took that away from him. Sometimes, if I stare at his photos, I can feel his presence, like the king he was, […]
It’s Thursday…
…and we all know what that means, right? Tap!!!! If you didn’t already know, I LOVE to tap. I didn’t start tapping until I needed a better talent that a cheerleading routine when I was doing Miss Ohio local prelims. I started tapping, eh, was it 2000, 2001? Anyway, I really sucked back then. Didn’t […]
Decisions
Do you ever wonder where the little paths in life would have taken you if you had of just went with your instincts and did something differently? What if I’d have said no instead of yes, stayed but instead you went, turned left when I could have turned right. Just got me thinking…
Just Checking In 3-19
It’s been almost a year, seriously, where does the time go. Well, in this past year, what has changed? I suppose there are two major changes in my life with many smaller ones.
