Welcome To My World

As you step inside the wonderful world of all things news, there are a few things you should know.  First of all, the following stories and links will be purely written and presented on my webpage for the viewing of news information only. There will be a range of topics and events in and around the Los Angeles area and this being said, I promise to stay as objective as possible while providing you with a truly unique look into events that the public might not be invited into.  Fill free to comment often on any story that you find intriguing or thought-provoking.  I’m always more than happy to hear any kind of feedback on my work to better serve my audience.

Another unique experience to the west coast is the popular Christmas Boat Parades displayed below.  Residents say, “the sight is breath-taking and well worth the wait.”

And finally, what christmas season isn’t complete without Christmas themed movies like Author Christmas that critics say, “will melt the heart of any Scrooge”.  The film stars James McAvoy and features stars such as Eva Longoria and Robbie Coltrane.  It’s the story of how Santa’s son Arthur attempts to complete a task before Christmas is ruined for all.  It’s truly a must see for all generations.

Back and ready to write

Hey fellow bloggers,

Sorry for the delay, odd hours and no time to write, but finally I’m back ready for another adventure and that’s exactly what I’m on for the next month I will be on a noveling adventure.

Be patient with me. If I don’t write consistent in this blog, its only because I concentrating on my latest creation.

Furthermore, I’ll be testing my boundaries and attempting to write even stranger and dark than before. The title of my latest is “Trading Bodies” and so far it is filled with suspence, mystery, as well as multiple layers of science fiction and horror.

I do not know exactly what will come out of this; all I do know is that it will definitely be the ultimate adventure that you will just have to wait and see what happens.

Stay tuned as I blog about more concerning this intriguing story and be on the look out for Trading Bodies hopefully coming to a bookstore near you in late spring.

What decade or era do you find particularly fascinating?

The renaissance era particularly intrigues me, mostly because of their wardrobe.  I’ve always imagined ever since I was a little girl, dressing up in one of those fancy ball gowns and going to one of their festivals.  Of course, I know that the renaissance was partial to those of the upper class, but a girl can dream, can’t she?

Some of the greatest writers came out of the renaissance, the greatest being playwright, story teller, William Shakespeare.  What I wouldn’t give to go back in time and be able to stand in the Globe Theater and watch Hamlet with fresh new eyes?  How amazing would that be?

And don’t forget some of the greatest artists, like Micheangelo and yes, even Di Vinci with his Mona Lisa.  It would be great to be able and see exactly what Di Vinci saw that inspired him to paint that magnificient woman.

There is so much depth to this one era in time.  One can spend a lifetime studying and still not know every single piece of the puzzle.  But that’s why it intrigues me most.  Every single decade that has past been influenced in some way by this tremendous period and I respect it.

Blogging: Any time Any where!

The nice thing about blogs, you can work on one nearly any place.  It especially makes it convenient when your computer is a laptop and you have access to an internet hotspot.  You can literally go out in the middle of nowhere and just start writing.

This is one thing that I have always told myself that I want to do.  I love nature and I think it would be so awesome one day just to pack up my computer, phone, and instruments into my little 2005 Chevy Cavelier and drive out to some forest or beach type setting and just start writing and/or playing.

I’m a writer and a musician.  Both passions are equally important to me, although I don’t play as much as I would like, I still love taking out my saxophone and playing whatever my mind comes up with.  It’s intriguing what the mind can imagine and send to the brain which then transports to the fingers to create something that is awesome.

I can be anywhere at work and yet my mind can be somewhere else, off on some faraway journey to the great unknown that I will later record for the world to read and/or listen to when they turn on their radios or open up their newspapers.

But alas, when the end of the day rolls around and I wake up from my daydream, I am here again, sitting in front of my computer or sheet music.  I close up the documents on my desktop and put away my instruments and I sigh, because I know one day, I will take that long drive, I will get away for a few short hours and I will play till my hearts content, I will write till my hands bleed, because I know that is what I’m meant to do and I will do it.  I mean it.  I will.

Tips to a Successful day

Work at Universal Studios can seem so bland at times.  Come to work, get dressed, clock in, but it is important that you make the most of every single day.  Remember it is the guests that you are working for and if they aren’t happy, neither will you or your employer be.

So here is a list, let’s say the top things you must do to make your day successful, vibrant and all and out good day.

1.  Remember leave you problems at Walter’s gate.  As soon as you are on property, have a smile on your face and don’t forget to say hi, how can I help you?

2.  Gratitudes the attitude and don’t forget it.  If you are having a bad day, don’t show it.  Keep it inside until you leave the property and who knows, that bad day you woke up to could completely vanish if you give it the chance.

3.  Don’t forget… Click the pic.  Guests love photos and they especially love to be in the photo.  If you see a camera, ask.  They can always say no.

4.  Remember that yellow map that so often times gets swept up or thrown away.  That’s probably because people don’t know how to use it.  Take maps as a cue to attack and point the guest in the direction that they need to go.  Show them that it is a helpful tool that should not be discarded like a sack of beans.

5.  Show your knowledge of the park.  Now for most of you, this might be a challenge.  You might not be familiar with what is in the park, but I challenge every single person to get out there and learn the park and then show the guest that you know it.

Walk them to their location.

6.  End every encounter with a “Thanks” and “Have a wonderful day at the friendliest amusement park in Southern California.”

I guarantee you, once you do these tips, it is assured you will forget all your problems and have a wonderful day.

The Other Family Members

It’s often been debated:  Should pets be considered family, dependents?  Well I think I speak for nearly all pet owners when I make the statement: Yes!

Without a  shred of doubt, they are just as dependent as children if not more so.

My cat, she tells me exactly what she needs and she doesn’t let me forget about it.  If she’s hungry, she cries and looks at her food bowl until I put some in it, not to mention when her cat pan gets dirty, she finds suttle ways of letting me know, most are not very flattering, but it has to be done.

And pets are difinitely more dependent that children.  Put a child their room with the door closed and the dog in another room and see which gets out first.  The child would learn how to turn the handle and open the door, dogs have no way of doing that and if they are in there for a long period of time, there is likely to be big trouble.

Trust me.  You know I’m right.

A Time Before The Bed

Oh me oh my!

I can’t find this.  I can’t find that.

What am I to do?  It’s insane.  I’m blind.

Can’t see my hand in front of my face.

If my head weren’t attached, I’d lose it at work.  Somebody would take it to guest relations and then sell it at the lost and found sell for ten bucks.

Ha!  That’s funny.  I crack myself up.  See now my coworkers have to come with a broom and sweep me of my feet.  I guess I’m in the wrong business.  Should be down at Jon Lovitz Comedy Club, but then again, I’d probably be booed off the stage.

Now were was I?  What was I talking about?  I don’t even remember.  Sounds like my latest play on words that I wrote almost six months ago and everyone loves.  Man, I really gotta get that play on stage.  Gotta find just the right cast and crew to run it and produce it and showcase it for the public.

But then again… I’m just one person… One person with big dreams and aspirations… and I won’t stop until I stop breathing.

So there.

The Trouble with Blogs

Here I am again… writing on yet another topic, another idea to bring to my readers and yet I am stumped.  True I love to write but I fear that what I write won’t be good enough, won’t evoke enough thought, knowledge for my readers and so I bring up a question.

What’s wrong with blogging?  You would say, nothing, but that could be debated.  How many times have you read the same story over and over because you like it.  The trouble being that if you read the same things, your mind isn’t growing.  The same holds true with blogs.  Even if a blog seems to say the same thing, look closer at it.  Every time you read it, look for something new.

I dare you to look for something new in this blog each time you read it.  I started out blogging about plays about four years ago because I basically had to.  Now I am challenging myself to branch out and blog about whatever I see, whatever I encounter and whatever I experience.

The truth is there is nothing wrong about blogging about the same topics.  As the writer it is a challenge each time we sit down in front of our computers and start pounding the keyboard with new ideas, new concepts, but for you as the reader, it is equally challenging.

You are reading blogs with new, virgin eyes.  You haven’t the slightest idea what the person will be blogging about or maybe you do, but regardless the writer surprises you each and every time and that’s good.

Really it’s all good.
