Angie Cruz challenge – Day Two

Today I saw a man who bore a remarkable resemblance to Santa Claus call his son out on national television. They were on Doctor Phil over some type of financial dispute.

Yesterday I saw the detectives of TNT's Major Crimes try and almost fail to solve a drive-by shooting. I can't get the image of the victim out of my mind. his knees covered in his own blood, his eyes closed as if sleeping.

If it has sound it would have been a mother's anguished cries and a father's shout of despair

If you lived inside me you would see someone who is craving a soft batch chocolate chip cookie complete with M&Ms. They remind me of childhood and a simpler time.

The most beautiful, terrible thing is the end of a good song, when the last echoes of the singer's voice leaves your ears.

The five things I saw that no one else saw


  1. that most of the people featured as winners on casino commercial are unbelievably overweight.
  2. The color of canned peas is a true Sage.
  3. That the inside of my old purse is reversible. I like the side with gold monkeys best.
  4. That Macauley Culkin, star of home alone eats his ice cream Sundays the same way I do.
  5. That apparently there is a door stopper on the outside of my closet.

Celebrity Name Game

When mom met me up this morning, she was asking me which celebrity was my favorite, you know favorite female actress or male actor. It reminds me of a one, of one of those  party games that are meant to catch you offguard guard. She asked me a bunch of other questions, I answered accordingly. At the end of the game and after I was done using the toilet and eating breakfast… I wished that I would have been able to come up with better responses.  I think I said Jim Carrey and Julia Roberts. Looking back however, I would have changed my answers. Jim Carrey would have been a contender but Matthew McConaughey would have knocked him off of the top spot. As far as favorite actresses go, and still would have been Katherine Hagel, even though her career has been put on hold because of her desire to have a family. Mom then switched to questions that were of a more personal nature. That game reminding me of something I saw on one of my all-time favorite TV shows, Charmed. I think the s...

The End of The Bucket List

Noah finally reached #99 today. The reporter and photographer from the local paper had just left, when I arrived. “ The basket hit the ground safely, I see.”             “Yes,” he replied. “As you predicted, it would have been more fun with my Emilee. All the couple I went with wanted to do was swill red or white, and talk of his promotion. Emilee would have squeezed my hand lovingly and talked about the beauty of the countryside.”             “Well, Noah…They all can not be your Emilee. She was one of a kind. What’s next? I was there at the beginning when you had me write the blasted list.”             He was sitting on the edge of the bed when he looked over at me. Tears rolling down his wrinkled cheeks. “Ah, my boy, I wish I had more time on the clock, more things to tick off.     ...

The Longest Ride pages 1 through 12

I have recently started reading Nicholas Sparks’ latest novel The Longest Ride. As far as I can tell, this novel is written from the perspective of different characters. In the first chapter, we meet Ira. I believe he is in his early hundreds. He spends much of the first few pages talking about the close relationship he had with his father. What I liked most about this particular section was that it showed how human Ira was. He is an elderly man who was shaped by the guidance of his parents and the love of his wife. Of the only part I didn't particularly care for was the appearance of Ira's late wife. It seems to me that Sparks used this premise in his last few novels but I can be certain. One of the things that I enjoyed most about this first chapter was the amount of history that was involved in it. It seemed slightly reminiscent of Nicholas Sparks’ first big novel The Notebook. I didn't get through his last novel so I planned on doing a series of blogs about...
