R.I.P. Elizabeth Taylor

Dame Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor, DBE (February 27, 1932 – March 23, 2011), was an English-born American actress. She first became famous as a child actress, and later recognized for her superior acting talent and striking beauty, especially with her violet eyes. Taylor's much publicized private life included eight marriages and several life-threatening illnesses. She used her stardom to promote many social causes, among them AIDS research. As a two-time winner of the Academy Award for Best Actress, Taylor is considered one of the great screen actresses of Hollywood's Golden Age. The American Film Institute named her seventh on its Female Legend list.

My Brother's Choreography and Music

My autistic brother Julian dances, choreographs, and makes his own music. Seriously a gift from God! Take a look!

Bummed

So, I decide to get on here and write a fresh blog and something told me to check out some of my old pieces. I was seriously surprised to notice that some of them were missing. I go to the check for them and they were saved as drafts! I open them and of course they are all gone, so at the moment I'm ticked, pissed, annoyed, and every other word you might want to use.

Oh well, back to the drawing board!

R.I.P Teena Marie

 

Teena Marie was an American singer, songwriter and producer. Marie, nicknamed Lady Tee, (sometimes spelled Lady T), was a protégée of funk legend Rick James, and was notable as one of the few successful white performers of R&B and the first white person to be signed to the Motown record label in 1979. She played rhythm guitar, keyboards and congas. She also wrote, produced, sang and arranged virtually all of her songs since her 1980 release, Irons in the Fire. 

Marie died of natural causes on Sunday, December 26, 2010, at home in Pasadena, California. She was an AMAZING artist and will definitely be missed!

Economy in turmoil yet holiday consumerism still goes strong... wth!

For the past couple of months, the madness of holiday shopping has brought foolishness out in the open. I should rephrase that sentence. Foolishness has always been out in the open, yet the madness has come to a serious all-time high. We are in some of the hardest times in American history and yet we spend money around the holidays like it's going out of style!

I have seen elderly people in their 70's curse people out! (The anger came from the couple before them taking the last tv set that they wanted. O_O Yes, over a tv set.) Stores are extending their hours, "sales" are going on every other day, coupons, new gadgets (very few made in our country), clothing and shoe styles that are illogical, not made in our country, over priced, won't last long, and look... eww!

I'm saddened by everything that is going on in the world, but especially this country. We have more people loosing jobs, their homes, no health insurance, car insurance, the list goes on and on (and on and on and on) yet we still put money into the wrong things (my opinion)! I agree that if you NEED something, then great sales are the perfect time to get them. However, I feel people misunderstand what their NEEDS and wants are. My to you is to reevaluate what you really need. I think if we all sat down and looked around our homes, we'd find a lot of things that we thought we NEEDED but really don't.

P.S. Not meant to upset anyone.This is my blog, this is me venting, don't like it don't follow. Happy Holidays! ;-)
