This video is too awesome!  It’s of 1,500 plus CPDRC inmates in the Philippines who perform Michael Jackson’s “Thriller.”  They have also performed other choreographed numbers.

975 miles and 17 hours later, we made it safe and sound to sunny southern California.  We left at 6:15 am and my mom drove until 1:30 pm.  I took over at a gas station and continued the rest of the way until 11:00 pm.  When my dad died, my uncles made the same trip [...]

It’s almost midnight and I still haven’t really packed yet.  Me, my mom, and her black lab are leaving for southern California tomorrow morning.  We’ll leave by 6am and drive 16 or so hours straight.  So, that means we’ll be at my Grandma’s by Saturday night.  I’m not sure if there’s internet at that house [...]

I got tagged by Women Trip and normally I don’t do these little questionaire, but this one seemed quick. 8 random things about me (from this last week): I watched “Say Anything” with John Cusack.  Thought it was totally overrated.  I can’t find “Talladega Nights” to return to Blockbuster. I have two, 3 hour root [...]

I can’t really put a finger on the way I’m feeling right now.  I think it’s a mixture of being bummed and surprised at the same time. Ten minutes ago, I went to the local Albertson’s to use the U.S. Bank ATM there.  Ras had given me his ATM card to float some money if [...]

It’s already been 20 years since the Princess Bride debuted?  Time flies.  Check out what the actors have been up since then. I remember watching the first episode of Criminal MInds and thinking, “There’s Greg from ‘Dharma and Greg‘.  Oh wait!  Mandy Patinkin‘s in this too?  That’s that guy from the Princess Bride!” He’s aged [...]
