Farewell to a tremendous great....




Sadly, we must bid adieu to one of the greatest individuals to bless our screens inside and out. Not only noted for his acting prowess, stunning good looks but also his beyond charitable contributions, Paul Newman will truly be missed. He will forever be remembered for all his contributions and great films like "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid", "Cool Hand Luke" or "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" (as well as my favorite salad dressings ;P). In the words of my aunt, "If you never entertained the thought of interracial dating, you never saw Paul Newman in his heyday!" LOL! Our heart goes out to Joanne Woodward and all his children.

RIP Paul Newman
1925-2008

I'm blunt...and rather observant...DUH that means I should blog! I suffer from, no let me rephrase, I combat living with an AVM on a daily basis. An AVM is an Abnormal Veinous Malformation which affects about 250,000 people in the US (http://www.cumc.columbia.edu/dept/cerebro/AVM.htm#Link8). It affects everyone differently, for me it's caused a constant headache since 2003...litterally. I've been in countless doctors offices, been poked and proded, been through the emotions of being misdiagnosed with a brain tumor. Needless to say, I've been through a lot and not just because of my...let's call it an ailment. Above all I've developed a less than common outlook on life and perception of things.Don't for one minute misconstrue, I'm in no way a victim, I'm self-sufficient almost to a fault and encourage others to turn their weaknesses into empowerment. It builds character and makes for one hell of a screenplay ha! That combined with growing up immersed in a semi-charmed world, and the glitz and glamour of Hollyweird leads to some interesting anecdotes...Here are my thoughts...

There are many other Headcases in the world...here are a few..
