What brings a tear of joy to your eye? Watching old cartoons from back in the day. Woody Woodpecker is back on regular television for the first time since the 80s and I almost broke down, remembering the little girl that I used to be. When my family was still alive and life wasn’t so…

Why do you blog? Why do I blog? To put my thoughts out in the universe about a variety of topics. Blogging is like an online diary for me but lately, I haven’t wanted to expose myself too much. It’s a lot of mean spirited people online whose very existence is contingent on making others…

Tell us about the last thing you got excited about. The last thing I got excited about is learning that The Woody Woodpecker show is coming to the lineup of old cartoons shown Saturday mornings on Me TV. I’m so amped!!!

How would you design the city of the future? It would be a city filled with parks and lakes. Gardens filled butterflies and waterfalls. A city with guaranteed housing, food, and healthcare for all.
