Remembering 9/11

11 Sep

There are certain events in my life that have changed me. Amongst those many, 9-11 is at the top on my list. Living it was frightening, and I don’t wish that terror on anyone. But something good did come out of that big ole mess, we unified as a union. Yes it was very odd walking down NYC Streets and people smiling and saying good morning to you lol. But hey I loved it. It was wonderful! So today I don’t want to remember that horrib le act of hate. I want to remember that unified feeling we all felt, and to celebrate life. Because even if we believe in reincarnation this is the one you are living at the moment . *raises coffee in the air* To Life!

Let’s also take a moment to give thanks to our armed forces.

Fun With Dee: Belinda McBride

31 Aug

Aloha, and welcome for stopping by for another edition of Fun With Dee. Today we have author Belinda McBride with us. Thank you Melinda for being here with us today.

A little bit about Belinda: Belinda writes in a variety of genres for Loose Id, Changeling Press, and New Concepts Publishing. She lives in Northern California with a variety of Siberian Huskies and eccentric family members.

40 Fun Question with Belinda McBride

Where do you like to go to have fun? I tend to go to dogshows for fun, that’s a good way of escaping my everyday existence. I also like to check out historical towns and cities.
What were you doing the last time you really had a good laugh? This is gross, but Pai Mei (my Siberian Husky) had caught a mouse and danced into the living room with it. She tossed it into the air, I screamed, the mouse took off running, and Pai was streaking around, knocking over furniture looking for the critter. It was a sad ending for the mouse, but hysterically funny while it lasted.
If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would it be? Hmmm….I’ve been to a lot of places, but I’d really love to visit Pompeii and Herculaneum. In fact a long trip through Italy would be very nice. I’m a bit of a history geek.
What is your all time favorite comedy movie? Boy, that’s a tough one, it depends on my mood. There’s a Scottish film called ‘Comfort and Joy,’ about rival Italian fish and chip vendors having a turf war in a Scottish city. The hero is just so hapless. Also, almost anything with Stephen Chow is hysterically funny. (He’s a Hong Kong based comedian) My favorite is ‘King of Beggers.’ I followed him down the street in Kowloon City, till he got scared and went into a police station.
What song always makes you happy when you hear it? ‘Songs From the Wood’ by Jethro Tull, and Reasons to be Cheerful by Ian Drury and the Blockheads.
What was your favorite sitcom growing up? I was a TV deprived child, so we didn’t watch much. We got a half-hour a day, but I do remember seeing Gilligan’s Island re-runs.
What favorite food puts you in a great mood? Pepperoni Pizza, a good steak, and chocolate ice cream sundaes.
Who’s the funniest person you know? A woman named Terri, though I don’t think she’d appreciate me thinking that she’s funny.
What is the first thing you notice in the opposite sex? Happy eyes and a nice smile. Then I check out his ass.
What music are you listening to right now? Dr John’s album, ‘Dis, Dat or De Other.’
How is the weather right now? Sunny and hot, though not painfully hot. There’s an awful lot of smoke in the sky.
What is the wallpaper on your cell phone? Can’t remember, I don’t use it often. Wait…it’s a sailboat.
What do you have handy at your bedside? Water, lotion, a bowl of money, a candle and my laptop.
Grilled or Fried? What are we eating?
Are you afraid of the dark? Only when my eyes are open.
Three things you cannot live without? My computer, one or more Siberian Huskies, and my pick-up truck.
Favorite song? It varies, at the moment it would be Bar Ba Sol by David Cook.
What 1 thing would you take with you on a deserted island? Sunscreen with bug repellent. Been there done that. I’m pragmatic.
Favorite TV commercial? Ummm, don’t watch much TV.
What are the things you always take with you? My purse, something to write with/on, good shoes and a jacket. Where are we going?
What did you want to be when you were a kid? A veterinarian or a jockey.
Do you still have your tonsils? Let me look…yeah, I do. But I don’t have an appendix.
Do you untie your shoes when you take them off? Hell, I wear slip-on shoes for a reason!
Which you favorite ice cream flavor? Rocky Road
If you were a crayon what color would you be? Teal Blue
Which are your favorite smells? Fresh mint, baking bread, Berry Wine fragrance that I use as cologne.
Do you like people with green eyes? Let me think…my ex-husband had green eyes…but then my daughter also has green eyes. What was the question?
Do you like scary movies or comedy movies more? I like Japanese horror movies and Chinese or Korean comedies. So it just depends on my mood.
What is on your mouse pad? Nothing, its clear plastic.
Would a fly without wings be called a walk? No, it’d be a wardrobe malfunction. Sometimes it happens to guys during a dance number.
Why do they lock gas station bathrooms? Are they afraid someone will clean them? No, they lock them so people like me get completely humiliated after waiting a half-hour before another customer comes along and lets themselves in with the key.
If the police arrest a mime, do they tell him he has the right to remain silent? Of course they do! And then they laugh hysterically, and in complete silence.
Why do they put Braille on the drive-through bank machines? To confuse the guide dog that’s driving the car.
How do they get the deer to cross at that yellow road sign? It’s negotiated with their union.
What was the best thing before sliced bread? I don’t know…Unsliced bread?
Could it be that all those trick-or-treaters wearing sheets aren’t going as ghosts but as mattresses? Hey, wish my mattress moved that much!
Why don’t you ever see the headline Psychic Wins Lottery? It’s considered insider trading, and they don’t want the public to know.
Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called “rush hour”? Because of the rush you get when you successfully cut off the a**hole that was lane-jumping a mile back.
Do vegetarians eat animal crackers? Only in their soup.
If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? Depends on what part of the body you’re holding.

Fun With Dee: Mila Ramos

24 Aug

Aloha and welcome to another edition of Fun With Dee. Today we have the lovely Mila Ramos with us today.

How about getting to know Mila a little bit better? Born and raised in Puerto Rico, I’m as eclectic as my background and diverse as the music in my Ipod. My passions are chemistry, reading, writing, music, coffee, sports (especially when some of it is explained to me), Italy and taking great pride in those that are enjoying life right along with me. I have been writing for as long as I can remember, just didn’t know at the time that it was considered a style of being.

Though I do get caught up in the day to day life to things, I still come back to my love of writing. Paranormal is the genre I love to be an anything mixed with it, is pretty alright with me. Getting my latest books are a feat of time management but the stories are there and the books will be written just going to take a bit of time to get there. I currently live in Texas and though the city isn’t pinned down, I love the state that I’m in….figuratively and literally.
