My world was irrevocably altered the night my son CJ overdosed on hallucinogenic mushrooms.
Upon reaching the hospital and being ushered into triage, I was met by one cold nurse who immediately told me he may have “fried his brain.” She and the doctor looked at me through narrowed gazes, “operating” with their own presumptions that […]
With movies available on the Internet, studios are considering whether or not to release DVDs the same day a movie opens in theaters. Is this a sign that people will completely desert the mutiplex in favor of watching films on HD DVD players or Blu-Ray?
Don’t start crying for Hollywood just yet… Technology doesn’t […]
It appears Hollywood is gaga over African babies these days. Is this the new status symbol, or a way for celebrities to use their status to bring attention to the plight of children in Africa?
Yes, non-white babies are a trend in Hollywood. This is only relatively new, and was summed up in a British […]
Why? Because horror movies tap into an emotion that many people like to experience — not so much fear, but conquering fear. Being scared is horrifying, but the rush that comes immediately after it is the conquering of that fear. It’s the luxurious breath you take when you know you’re okay — and that character […]

Courtney Love is more famous for her personality and her personal history than she is for her music.

One of the most obvious ways that I see women sabotaging themselves is not knowing what it is they want when it comes to a man. Oh, sure. They THINK that they know what they want, but more often than not, they don’t know what their deal-breakers are, and what they are willing to compromise […]
Many men find pregnant women attractive — because they are! Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and while some men find blondes attractive, others find brunettes to be their cup of tea. Some men are breast men, while others are leg men. In addition, pregnancy has taken on a new sexiness because Hollywood […]
Special needs children require a tremendous amount of patience and a suspension of expectations that you may have for other grandchildren who are not special needs.
* The siblings of special needs grandchildren are used to getting second best because they are not “in crisis” or “in need” and therefore don’t get as much attention, […]

    Welcome to my first blog. Let me begin by showing my age. I’ve only recently heard the term “blog.” It reminds me of something I expelled into my kleenex a few weeks ago in the throes of a horrendous cold. But, alas, I must stay current. I’m beginning to realize why older people […]
