Um news flash it's winter...

Ok folks I'm definitely convinced...

So I guess the trade off for melanin, not getting sun burned, or turning red is that those of us with color feel the cold and or color-lacking lacking friends do not.

Now now now...before all my melanin-less readers go calling me racist hear me out on my observations. All while walking around in 30 degree weather, snow flurries and wind chills I was entirely unprepared for, I kept finding certain individuals without pants, just knee high socks or tights, or the above no socks, or other versions of non-30 degree weather appropriate clothing.

Necks bare.

Heads exposed.

The guy I'm seeing even leaves the windows open.

Um....did I mention it's 30 in the day, dips to the 20's at night? I got in a low key argument with my friend one night about it and while at first she was offended, the next day she began noticing the same thing.

So it's official, I'm convinced. Y'all may be screwed in the summer buying extra SPF and stuff but that's nothing compared to the extra layers we have to invest in.

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..
