It's a Friday, you just got paid, you are off from school/work and you are just about as excited as excited can be about the night of relaxation and the new bottle of wine you have waiting on you when you get home. You approach a traffic light and noted the "No Turn on Red"... Continue Reading →

BBQ anyone?

For starters, this garbage that some are calling artistic expression is clearly corrupting our youth. In particular, as much as we love Trey Songz, it's not cute to hear a child sing his songs.

Zumba anyone?
http://zumbaforu.com/So I kept my word, I attended Zumba on Friday at school. Turns up I'm in love with this style of workout. Anyone who knows me, I mean really knows me, knows that I love dancing. If the music is good, you can't keep me off the floor. Zumba is a nice twist of salsa,... Continue Reading →
