Horror Host with the Most & Spellbinding Writer Too

2 Comments / Books /

Elvira’s life has been a crazy wild ride and you really must read the book to take it all in. It is no wonder that this is a New York Times Bestseller. I laughed out loud several times when reading this. All the stories feature her unique sense of humor. Originally, she was going to retire Elvira at 40 but now she’s 70 and the character is still going strong. Elvira will certainly outlive Elvira. Cassandra’s character is the horror host with the most for sure.

Shocking and Surprising Glimpse Into LA Crip Life

1 Comment / Books /

Like many people from my generation, I grew up listening to the East Coast West Coast rap feud. For me, I was on the Tupac side and still listen to his music today. Anyone who has listened to Tupac knows he uses a lot of street lingo and tells a lot of stories that sometime seem too crazy to be true. I think this was a question I had going into this read – how serious are gangs and gang members in places like Los Angeles? It turns that they are serious. Just how serious are they? Drive by shootings, planned shootings at funerals, lynching, hostages, drive a car through the front of a gun store to rob it plans, and even chopping people’s arms off with a machete to make a statement serious. This read makes Pac much more believable, not that I didn’t believe him.

What if we gained control of this? If we decided what the imagination believed or didn’t believe, what could we accomplish? I read somewhere many years ago that the main purpose of the grueling training undergone by US Navy SEALs has one ultimate purpose. Proving to the trainee that when your mind says you must quit, your body can do 10% more. Monks and many cultures have used autosuggestion for centuries in the forms of mantras and creeds. When we say something enough to ourselves, good or bad, our mind eventually believes it. Suggestion has now transformed into autosuggestion. Of the two, only the latter really exists. Coue was well known for his daily saying, “Every day in every way I’m getting better and better.”

Teen wolf, Fantastic 80s Must See

Leave a Comment / Film /

Michael J. Fox must be one of the best actors of all time. Who doesn’t enjoy Back to the Future? Teen Wolf (1985) was another movie in his film history that stood out. I don’t recall having seen this one before, but it’s possible that I have. It piqued my interest mainly because my wife was considering this as a theme for trunk or treat for Halloween this year. Regardless, I watched Teen Wolf recently. Let’s talk about this 80s movie.
