CANNIBAL COP???

So I found another reason that you should watch your back when it comes to the police. While reading the AM New York today, I came across the story of one Officer Gilberto Valle, 28. Valle was arrested for allegedly conspiring to kidnap, torture, cook and eat women. Yes you heard me cook and eat women. REALLY! Did Dunkin Donuts run out of food or something. Valle, Via Facebook Investigators discovered a filed on Valle's computer containing the names, addresses, and physical description of some of the women he had planned to have for dinner. It said that he even had some of them under surveillance, following from work to their homes. Currently and thankfully Valle is behind bars. His attorney a woman nonetheless is appealing to get the 6 1/2 year police vet. out on bail. (It's been denied 2x) Of course Valle has plead not guilty to the charges and his lawyer claims he was all talk. Really people of all the things that we have to watch out for in ...

BREAKING DAWN PART 2 AGAIN

So yesterday  I went to see Breaking Dawn Part 2 again and it was just as spectacular as when I saw it on Friday. This time around I didn't go a lone; I took one of my friends with me that just happens to be a guy. Of course being a man he was really prepared to hate it and throw a bunch of criticism my way and at the movie about how much it sucks. On the train ride to the movies we spoke about tragic love you know Romeo & Juliet, Hamlet & Ophelia, Edward and Bella (yes there love is tragic in someway). Well once we got to the movies were arrived a little too early and pass the time by browsing around my less favorite book store Barnes & Nobles. Being the NERDS that we are we spent most of the time talking about books that we are currently reading and books that we wish to read. Near the end of our lengthy conversation we ended up in my favorite part of the bookstore the Shakespeare section. We went through each of his plays saying which ones we've read and what w...

BREAKING DAWN 2: BEST TWILIGHT SAGA MOVIE

OMG! If you haven't seen Breaking Dawn Part 2 there is something wrong with you. But let me start wit this: This was the best Twilight Saga movie...EVER EVER EVER The movie opens up with a song we all know and love. I know when I here it, it makes me think about love and I don't me regular love I mean the love to end all love. I am to not going to tell you the song cause I hate spoilers.  As we all know by now Bella is a vampire and a beautiful  strong one at that. No matter what you think of Kristen Stewart, she acted the hell out of this role. Maybe it was because this was her last time being Bella, but who the hell care I am happy she did. She performed like never before, staying true to the emotions Bella poured out after her transformation. Robert Pattinson was amazing as always. Playing the part of the loving father and husband, he made sure that we would never forget that he would always be Edward Cullen. The rest of the cast and the newcomers ...

DEADTIME STORIES: GRAVE SECRETS

"> Grave Secrets: Deadtime Stories by Annette Cascone My rating: 4 of 5 stars So I went a little young with my reading. I had this book since October where I picked it up at Comic Con and even meet the authors (so it's signed). What can I say, but I love it. I love the characters, the suspense, and everything in the story. As an author of books in the same genre and age group it was worth reading to get a lesson how it should be done. The book and story over all was great. Amanda, Jarrad, Kevin, and Laura are all wonderfully written characters. I wont give any of the story away but it has you guessing the whole time about Ms. Barns. I would most definitely recommend this book for your readers that are into goose bump giving reads.

BRANDED MOVIE REVIEW (WHAT A TRIP)

You ever wonder why you can't resist the urge to go into McDonalds or Burger King and sink your face into that fating stuff they pass off as food. Well I just watched a movie that tried to explain it all. BRANDED I must say has to be one of the most worst/best movies I've seen in a long time and I've seen a lot of bad movies; I have the Sci-Fi channel. Yes I know it came out earlier this year, but I just saw it. In a world blanketed by advertising the lead character in the movie Misha Galkin (portrayed by Ed Stoppard) fines that he has a knack for selling people things.  Set in Russia which in the movie is a large testing ground for international companies and their products. Misha uses his skill to sell the Russian people on everything. Not only is he an advertising executive but he is also a spy. He is recruited by Bob Gibbon portrayed by Jeffery Tambor to help sell the Russian people the crap that the west is already drowning in, burgers, soda, fast fo...

GEARING UP: BREAKING DAWN PART 2

ANOTHER UPDATE: I WILL BE @ THE AMC ON 34TH STREET @ 5PM TO SEE BREAKING DAWN 2 TONIGHT UPDATE: I WILL BE SEEING BREAKING DAWN PART 2 SUNDAY @ 130PM AT THE UA COURT STREET THEATER IN DOWNTOWN BROOKLYN So I am gearing up to see Breaking Dawn Part 2. Like most Twilight Sage fans I am excited and sad that next week will usher in the end of all the movies. I am very happy that I got to see each and every movie and that Stephenie Meyer wrote such and addictive book. I'm current going to see the movie by myself on Sunday, why you ask well 1) My hubby doesn't like Twilight (I should totally dump him) 2) I can't do opening day because I have to work and then run home to watch my little vampire in the making 3) because I don't know who is going to be around Sunday when I want to see it.  But like I said totally excited. I am hoping there will be a series out there that will fill the hole that the Twilight Saga will leave in my heart. Luckily Mrs. Meyer writes awesome e...

VOTE: IT'S YOUR JOB! 2012 ELECTION

UPDATE: OBAMA WON..SO ANOTHER FOUR YEARS CONGRATULATIONS NOW LETS GET AMERICA BACK ON TOP. So I got up this morning around 6 A.M got myself ready and went with my Grandma and voted. We had to take a little detour since they changed our voting station and did not mention anything. There were no signs around the school to let us know we had to go somewhere else. I am sure there were probably people inside but we didn't make it that far. Thankful someone that had already gone in told us where we had to go to vote and even gave us a ride (What a nice lady). Nothing was going to stop us from voting especially my Grandma. I am not going to say who I voted for (but you can guess) since who ever you vote for is your own business, but the important thing is to get up off your butt and go vote.I know some people out there don't like either candidates that are running but guess what it doesn't matter either way one of them well be president, so why not vote for the one who tal...

30 SECONDS TO MARS:THE GREATEST BAND ON EARTH

Expressing my appreciation for the GREATEST band around (What's your favorite 30 Second to Mars song?) Okay so I've loved Jared Leto from the first moment I saw him on "My So Called Life". I was the only black chic in school rocking plaid because of him. After the series ended it was hard for me to find things he was in. Happily he did star well co-star in a couple movies that I watched with great enjoyment. But even though I love Jared as an actor, I love him more as the lead singer to what I am saying is the greatest band on earth 30 Seconds to Mars or even the greatest band in the galaxy. After punching Jared's name in to my search bar for the millionth time, I found a link that lead me to the video  "The Kill" and man I could have died a happy woman that day. Jared Leto, Shannon Leto, Tomo Milicevi, and then band member Matt Wachter gave me something I was longing for, a band that had a message and that wasn't all about money and groupie...

NANOWRIMO: YEAH IT'S A MOUTHFUL

So it's November and for all of you that don't know it yet, I am a writer. Yes you heard me a writer. You might have read some of my papers on here or even seen my post about myself and my series The Adventures of Marco and Carla.  Well this month I have taken up a whole new venture. What is it you ask? Well it's NaNoWriMo of course. NaNoWriMo is an event open to all writers out there. The quest of NaNoWriMo is to try and write 50,000 (Yes I said 50,000) words by the end of November. Each year thousands of writers put a side what they are doing to participate in the event and this year I am one of those writers. I was hard at work on the next volume to The Adventures of Marco and Carla series when I decided to take a break from it and try this out, also it's for school. So I am currently writing a new story and of course it's YA because that's all I really write, besides papers for class. Hopefully I will have it done by the end of November and publishe...
