I was intending this post to be about FAFSA but I decided to talk about recent events. I know right- how many people today haven’t blogged about bin Laden. I won’t be focusing on bin Laden’s death but President Obama.The hatred towards this man is unbelievable. People no longer respect the position he holds. Obama…
So I went to the Auto Show on Saturday with the intention of learning more about cars. I can, most of the time, tell the make and model of cars by looking at it but that’s about it. I didn’t expect to become an expert just by walking through the Auto Show but I had…
So I intended this post to be about the NY International Auto Show but life and some minor technical difficulties means I’m going to have to hold that off until the next post on Thursday. I’m creating a video of all my pictures and it’s taking longer than it did last time. At one point,…
Set priorities for your goals. A major part of successful living lies in the ability to put first things first. Indeed, the reason most major goals are not achieved is that we spend our time doing second things first.

Harry Potter: The Exhibition was awesome. I’m not normally a fan of walking through exhibits but I enjoyed myself. It wasn’t packed either. I bought my ticket online but the line at Discovery Times Square wasn’t even long and I got to amble through the exhibit without anyone getting in my way. The build up…
I follow Rebecca Russell’s blog, The Elliott Review. Her post about World Building got me thinking about my own stories. I love horror but I I also love fantasy because it gives me more room to stretch my imagination so I tend to blend the two. I create my own world then have the horror…
She had eyes only for the moon as she traveled the city. Shade settled in the middle of the dark, narrow street and leaned against the brick wall with her eyes closed reveling in the darkness around but nearly dead to her. For year Shade had been rejecting the darkness to maintain a form she…
For Harry Potter fans, like me, who live in or will be in New York- Harry Potter: The Exhibition opens April 5 at Discovery Times Square. You’ll be able to see costumes and props from the movies. I’ve already got my ticket. So excited! It cost me $30 but it’s so worth it. Check out…
