Today is the first anniversary of 9/11, a day which we will all probably remember for the rest of our lives. People will deal with it in their own ways – some will attend ceremonies, some will hear mass at their local church, some will watch tv specials and read news articles on the net, […]

Just a short post today before I plop over from exhaustion… Tired, tired, tired, tired….. my first workday today was pretty good, but it was quite exhausting.

The Royal Tenenbaums In this age when Eddie Murphy has seemed to have lost his sense of humor and Jim Carrey’s face has lost its elasticity, there hasn’t been any really great comedy movies in the past few years. “American Pie” seemed to start a trend for comedies to become a mixture of stupid jokes […]

I found out a couple of weeks ago that my dad needs to undergo surgery for some blood clots found in his eyes. This is one of result of being a diabetic for about 20+ years. Although the procedure is relatively simple, it reminds me that my parents are getting older. It scares me a […]
