 Spiritual Themes In This Film, November 12, 2017
I found this film Thor Ragnarock Theatrical version to be even better than both Thor films combined. Yes, I did enjoy both Thor films and my husband also enjoyed this Thor film with me. It was fortunately easy for me to convince him to see this Thor film for my birthday just 4 days ago and he helped explain some of the character additions to the Thor film. In addition to Chris Hemsworth, Idris Alba, and Tom Hiddleston there are various cameos and appearances from other actors/actresses for Thor Ragnarock; Cate Blanchett, Tessa Thompson, Mark Ruffalo,Benedict Cumberbatch, Anthony Hopkins, Matt Damon, Scarlett Johansson, Jeff Goldblum etc. This film involves the character of Thor working with his brother Loki to control the destruction of Ragnarock.

A Calming Music Playlist
This Amazon music playlist
of New Age Relaxation lives up to its title. Fortunately, my husband is
open-minded about the type of music I choose to play to help me go to sleep
quicker. I have been blessed to easily go to sleep within a fantastic timeframe
because of the easing music melodies in many of the songs. This Amazon music
playlist starts out with the song Return to Innocence by Enigma (a song that I
first heard via local radio in middle school). The playlist then goes into Only
Time by Enya (a song that I first heard when I was stationed in Japan through
the military in the early 2000s). Of course there are much more tunes available
on this New Age Relaxation playlist whether a person is turning to this
playlist to go to sleep faster or to just simply chill out with such tunes as
Love Awakening by Patrick Bernard, Marble Halls by Meav, Stars by Brian Eno,
Serenity by Liquid Mind, Stellamara by Kyrie Eleison, Call of the Sea by David
Arkenstone, Turning to Peace by Paul Schwartz, The Future is Beautiful by
Daniel Kobialka, Angel Wings by Herb Ernst, Deep Peace by Bill Douglas, Love
Awakening by Patrick Bernard, and more.

Coming Across This Book Was Heaven sent, November 16, 2017
I confess that I unexpectedly came across this unique book of Letitia Baldridge’s Complete Guide To A Great Social Life by Letitia Baldridge through rather mysterious and spontaneous circumstances via Amazon. However, I am glad that I did and I felt that coming across this book was perfect timing for me as even my loving husband has been rooting for me to cultivate and develop my social life for quite some time and I felt that this book was one of the spiritual answers to my prayers. I say this with only good intent of other well meaning sources I have came across in building the social life arena yet some are only tailored to certain people in particular professional andor social capacities. However, this book is fortunately tailored to many people of various demographic and socio-economic backgrounds with some of the following topics covered; why it is more than normal and healthy to want to set aside time and even allowing oneself set aside time to go out to build one’s social life, various ideas to meet friends whether single, married etc. such as volunteering, church, joining some art andor sports clubs/groups etc. The author even offers up menu ideas for a person who voluntarily chooses to be a part of event andor party planning for other friends, other kinds of entertainment etc. Various social situations are also touched upon such as what to do if you are a nonsmoking host, creative and constructive ways to utilize solitude, etc.

Luminous Indie Alternative Rock Tune, November 16, 2017
I admit that I am aware that this song Sail by Awolnation came out over a few years ago yet this dazzling alternative/indie rock song grows on more and more each listen even with some of the lyrics being a little on the brooding side. The soulful singing and rock/indie/electronic like music to Sail by Awolnation complement each other in harmony.

Perfect For Eclectic Music Listeners, November 23, 2017
I first became interested in Kelly Clarkson’s music around 2004 when I was stationed in California through the navy with the Breakaway song. One of the other songs that I greatly enjoy by her is the Catch My Breath song. In the Meaning of Life Collection Kelly Clarkson creates a memorable blend of soul and dance pop songs with such melodies as Move You, Love So Soft, Heat etc. This is one of the collections where I would keep an open mind to listen to every song in this collection that is released as a video on youtube because of the creativity and heartfelt energy in the Meaning of Life.

 2017 Maroon 5, November 23, 2017
This music compilation of Red Pill Blues (Deluxe) by Maroon 5 contains some music that follows the musical quirkiness of What Lovers Do feat. SZA. I first became interested in Maroon 5 around 2004 with their Sunday morning song and one of the elements that draws me to their music is their inclusion of love songs.

Versatile Recipes, November 23, 2017
I confess that I obtained this Masterchef Junior Cookbook; Bold Recipes and Essential Techniques by Masterchef Junior and Christina Tosi (foreward) to Inspire Young Cooks at a university bookstore that is around one mile from my University of Maryland College Park employment. One of the reasons that this book intrigued me was because I figured that if a young kid can learn many of these recipes then there is little excuse for me to try out some of the recipes listed in this colorful book. I definitely intend to eventually purchase the kindlebook version of this book as some of the following recipes and information are contained within this Masterchef Junior book; broiled salmon with coconut sauce and avocado puree (page 50), Seared Scallops with jalapeno poblano salsa (page 75), Green Papaya and Bell Pepper Salad (page 177), and more.

Fascinating Glimpse Into Flight Attendant History, November 23, 2017
I admit that I have to credit finding a paperback version of Come Fly With US at a university bookstore less than 1 mile from my University of Maryland College Park food service job, which in turn indirectly influenced me to purchase an Amazon kindlebook version of Come Fly With Us!

Pleasant Simultaneous Benefits, November 23, 2017
This 19.5 ounce bottle of OGX Extra Creamy Coconut Miracle Oil Ultra Moisture lotion has a very pleasant coconut fragrance. I also like that this lotion serves as a perfect moisturizer for my hair in addition for being good for moisturizing my skin. This is important to me because I like getting lotions that are dual moisturizers for both skin and hair at an affordable price.

A Strong Relaxer That Works, November 23, 2017
I confess that I have been chemically relaxing my hair inside of my apartment at least every six to around 8 months since around November 2013 as this allows me to both save money and to be empowered to know how to chemically relax my hair through my own efforts. I am also fortunate to have been aware even before that time period that relaxing my hair through purchasing the kits is possible because my late adoptive mother use to chemically relax my hair and that of at least two of my younger family members around the 90s when I was a teenager (which was a big deal to me that even a novice of hair styling could relax their own hair because my late adoptive mother knew only a limited amount of info about ethnic hair because she herself had straight hair stemming from her Caucasian heritage ). I am sharing this info not to dub myself an at home hair relaxer guru more as rather to imply that it is possible to relax your own hair from store bought relaxers safely even if you came from a background where you may have had to figure out through trial and error how to style your hair in case anyone taking the time looking at this review wants to understand if a novice to at home hair relaxing can use this kit. With that out of the way, I purchased two boxes of African Pride Olive Miracle Deep Conditioning Relaxer (labeled System Super on Amazon). I have coarse but strong naturally curly type 3b hair that fortunately can tolerate/withstand chemical relaxers but is more sensitive with lightening my hair (coloring my hair dark brown is ok but it is kinder to my hair if I avoid trying to color it blonde). Anyone reading this wondering about their own hair type can visit a website such as naturallycurlydotcom to assess their curly hair type. With that out of the way, I must admit that I had to purchase two kits because the thickness and length of my hair necessitated two kits and fortunately I had 12.5 ounces of VO5 Sun kissed Raspberry Shampoo and Suave 28 ounce Almond and Shea butter conditioner as each relaxing kit only has a limited amount of neutralizing shampoo and herbal infusion conditioner in the relaxing kit. For this reason, I would gently recommend having a backup shampoo and conditioner that is at least an 8 ounce bottle or more even if you may require just one relaxer kit. Also try to have some backup plastic/disposable gloves if possible as the gloves included in the kit could be made more durable. On a positive note, the relaxer itself is a quick and fast mix of liquid activator numbered 2b and no-lye crème relaxer numbered 3 that does relax the hair quickly as noted in the instruction sheet, the minimum time to leave the relaxer hair mixture ranges from 13 minutes for fine hair, 18 minutes for medium hair, and 20 minutes for coarse hair.

Redbox Rental, November 23, 2017
I admit that I became intrigued to eventually see this film The Hitman’s Bodyguard after my husband expressed his interest in wanting to see it as he admires the Ryan Reynold’s acting. I can understand the appeal as I seen a Deadpool film with my husband featuring Ryan Reynolds yet I admit that I also agreed with my husband about seeing this film when I noticed that Samuel Jackson was going to be featured in the film as I had recently seen this year some terrific acting that Jackson performed in the Pulp Fiction and the Cleaner films. I saw my chance to rent this film less than 48 hours later after my husband and I agreed to see The Hitman’s Bodyguard. Ryan Reynolds plays the role of Michael Bryce who ends up becoming involved in a job assignment orchestrated by Amelia Roussell (Elodie Yung) involving Darius Kincaid (Samuel L. Jackson). Bryce is at first understandably hesitant yet takes the job offer involving Darius Kincaid to help make a comeback in his career life. Pretty soon, Bryce figures out very well why Rousell asked for his help involving Kincaid especially by the time he finds out about Darius Kincaid’s wife (Samuel Hayek). Michael Bryce also eventually discovers that part of the reason why he has been asked to work with Darius Kincaid has to do with some history involving Vladislav Dukhovich (Gary Oldman). However, on a positive note, both Jackson and Reynolds give powerful acting performances as men who come together despite obviously having very different reasons for why one is working with the other.

Many Classic Dance Tunes I Remember First Hearing As a 1990s Teenager, November 25, 2017
This Amazon music playlist of 50 Great ‘90s Dance Songs contains a fantastic mix of diverse artists/musicians in this set.

Gifted In His Job However…, November 25, 2017
This film Thank You For Smoking involves the character of Nick Naylor (Aaron Eckhart) being highly gifted/talented in his job as a public relations professional. The caveat is that Nick Naylor is involved in an industry where many people are affected one way or another by the type of work he represents. Maria Bello, Katie Holmes, Cameron Bright, David Koechner,Robert Duval, Rob Lowe,J.K. Simmons,William Macy, Sam Elliott, Dennis Miller, and more actors/actresses make appearances in this film. Pop culture references are obviously also made in the film such as pertaining to the Washington Post, Vermont Cheddar, apple pie with cheddar, the Marlboro Man, etc. The film itself is set in the Washington D.C. area.

 Similar To Earth Life Memoir Except…, November 25, 2017
I preface this review by making it clear that my interest in these type of books are separate from my intent and preference to ideally live until I am at least 85 years or older if that is part of my spiritual life purpose. This kindlebook of Beyond the Veil to Heaven; Inexplicable Manifestations and Signs From A Woman’s Transition to Heaven While Maintaining Earthly Life Connections by Ward Edward Barcafer Jr. caught my attention as both a woman who is highly interested in afterlife communication books and as a writer keeping an open mind to various points of view involving the afterlife. I am married to an amazing husband and so naturally I was sympathetic to the author’s situation from the get-go because the intense and immense amount of romantic love that he has for his late wife clearly shone through his writings. Additionally, I did get a feeling that Barcafer Jr. was actually communicating to his wife by the way she simply admitted that she is still learning whether there is reincarnation and her controversial view that many souls residing on earth might unintentionally mix up past life experiences with hypnosis experiences. Even more controversial, his late wife admits that her life is almost similar to the type of life and environment that she had on earth except with the admission of worry-free concerns that would have an effect on a human body and a more idyllic peaceful type of environment. The author Barcafer Jr. also gets information that his late wife lives in a type of home in her celestial life that allows for privacy and certain forms or learning unique to the world she resides in. The author even generously includes a list of resources at the end of the kindlebook. The only reason why I reluctantly rate this kindlebook 3 stars is because I was hoping that there would be more details regarding the type of life that he senses his late wife is currently living even if he would have had to more frequently consult other open-minded people maybe other mediums andor psychics experienced in afterlife communications. In all fairness to the author, there were some details regarding where his late wife is residing and some of the activities that she is involved in, I just wish that more details would have been included. Aside from that caveat, I hope that Barcafer Jr. keeps on writing as some of the writings in his kindlebook came from an intuitive heart that was open to share with the world/general public perspectives on heaven/afterlife in a encouraging manner despite the risk andor awareness of public judgment. I would still keep an open mind to possibly being on the lookout for any of his future writings because of the intuitive heart factor in his writings regarding his late wife and the awareness that there are other people who are going to be still interested in what he has to say, I’m guessing some of these people may be those who have had similar experiences as the author.

My husband and I fortunately had a chance to visit the National Archives and Records Administration museum in Washington D.C. on Wednesday November 8 2017. This free museum is very much worth a visit yet a person must keep in mind that they may have to be prepared to write if they want remnants of a visit from here as taking photos at this museum are a no-no. The employees were interacted with were friendly. Some of the following compelling details from our visit at National Archives museum in Washington D.C.: 1297 Magna Carta Exhibit, Documenting the Immigrant Community, Winning the Vote Exhibit Beyond the Vote Exhibit, Are You In the Archives Exhibit with such case studies as my grandfather worked for the federal government for 40 years, my grandfather served aboard a U.S. battleship in World War II, My great grandfather traveled abroad extensively etc, American Indian Treaties Exhibit, Freedmen's Bureau Project Virginia, First Familes Growing Up, United States Navy Logbook exhibit, a picture of Egyptian President Anwar Sadat President Jimmy Carter and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem begin a meeting at Camp David on September 7 1978 from the National Archives of the Jimmy Carter Library, listing of President John F. Kennedy Secretary of State Dean Rush and Secretary of Defense Robert S McNamara White House Washington DC 1962, President Dwight D Eisenhower and Secretary of State John Foster Dulles White House Washington DC August 14 1956, Continental Expansion Exhibit, Map Portrait of the States such as the feature on Virginia, and much more in the National Archives Museum of Washington D.C..

My husband and I went to Texas De Brazil Wednesday November 8 2017 as a special occasion dinner for my birthday. The food is extremely appetizing and fills you pretty fast. Some of the foods my husband and I ate during the visit; special type of bread that comes from the servers (I think that it is the Brazilian Cheese bread on the online menu), I tried some sweet fried bananas and I think my husband had some type of potatoes. There is an unlimited salad bar offered with the meats that offers various cheeses, and seafood such as cold salmon that is tasty and sauces. The servers give you time to eat from the salad bar first before coming out with the meats if you prefer especially because of the circular placeholders you get to let the meat carriers know if you want more meat or if you are full for now (green side up gives them a signal you are ready to have more meats and the red side up lets the meat servers know that you are full andor finished with having more meat for the time being). What I also liked from the last visit was the fact that the most recent visit from my husband and I was our most recent visit since our last visit to Texas De Brazil in February 2017 and both the customer service and food were elegant. An additional positive is that I obtained a complimentary dessert for my birthday that I had the option with sharing with my husband. I was generously given my choice of multiple desserts and went with a scrumptious bananas foster dessert cake.

My husband and I ate at this D.P. Dough location in College Park Maryland this past Wednesday November 22, 2017 and the employee taking our order had a pleasant personality. Both my husband and I felt our food was delicious. My husband chose an Twilight Calzone that comes with mozzarella, sausage, and Italian sauces. I chose an Italian zone that comes with pepperoni, ham, salami, ricotta, mozzarella and parmesan with a cookies n cream and cheesecake Ben n Jerry's icecream pint. We shared part of our calzones with each other in order to try a partial amount of both calzones. The only caveat is that D.P. Dough in College Park Maryland does not have a sit down location which necessitates planning to pick a time to try the food when you are in the mood for carryout/pick-up type of food.

My husband and I just ate at this Chipotle Mexican Grill restaurant in College Park Maryland this past Friday November 24 2017. The employees handling our food were cordial. My husband chose sofritas tacos with guacamole and enjoyed his tacos with a small soda. As for me, I chose to get a rootbeer, and a Barbacoa bowl with guacamole and a side of queso that was tasty. On an additional positive note, the helping of the Barbacoa bowl was so generous that I saved the leftovers to had on Saturday and still had some leftover to eat for a third day (that I currently have in the refrigerator to eat for either today or Tuesday).

Around Saturday November 18 2017 my husband and I wanted to get some food to eat before grocery shopping at the Costco in the Wheaton mall in Wheaton Maryland in order to eat something before grocery shopping. We were thinking about eating at the Costco Food Court. However, my husband recommended that we eat at the main mall food court together prior to grocery shopping at Costco because he told me that he noticed that the seating became extremely crowded in the Costco eating area before we both agreed to eat at the main food court in Westfield Wheaton mall. I would pinpoint the timeframe to have been somewhere between approximately 11 am/ 1130 am to 1pm. My husband preferred to try Charlie's Steak. I decided to take a chance on eating at Ruby Thai Kitchen after trying one of the free samples of I think was some chicken that a cheerful employee was giving out to the general public for free samples. I found the food that I selected tasty as I chose some Lemon Pepper chicken, mango chicken, Bangkok shrimp with some noodles and a drink. The serving of food was a very generous portion and the customer service I got was fantastic.

Feel Good Music Playlist From Amazon, November 26, 2017
This Amazon music playlist of Happy Pop has a wide range of diverse songs from various music genres (pop, dance, electronic, club etc.) that definitely are terrific mood boosters and the original times I remember first hearing the songs such as; Happy by Pharrell Williams (I first heard in early 2014 via online), You Make My Dreams Come True by Hall and Oates (around 2001 via a Hall and Oates music collection when I was stationed in Yokosuka Japan) Just Dance by Lady Gaga (I first heard around the spring of 2008 in Norfolk Virginia via online radio and local radio), Best Day of My Life by American Authors (first heard in early 2014 online and local radio), Good Life by One Republic (first heard around Autumn 2011 via either online andor local radio), Girls Just Want to Have Fun by Cindy Lauper (around the 80s via local radio), One More Time by Daft Punk (I first heard either around 2001/2002 in Yokosuka Japan either through someone else playing the song andor a music compilation),Let’s Get it Started by the Black Eyed Peas (around 2004 when I was living in California), Love On Top by Beyonce (autumn 2011 through Beyonce’s music collection that contains this song and online radio I think maybe youtube), Heartbeat by Kelly Clarkson (via local radio and online late 2015), Scream and Shout by Will.iam and Britney Spears (2012), I’m So Excited by the Pointer Sisters (local radio as a teenager during the 90s), Emotions by Mariah Carey (first heard as a pre-teen/teenager during the 1990s via local radio and tv),Don't Stop Believin by Journey, We Found Love by Rihanna and Calvin Harris (I first heard during autumn season 2011 via both online radio and local radio), and many more fun/thrilling songs on this Amazon music playlist of Happy Pop.

Powerful Rock Music Mix, November 26, 2017
I admit that I have am previously familiar with a multiple number of these rock songs from the Amazon music playlist of Nu-Metal Super Set because I have had a chance to have originally listen to many of these songs either as a teenager of the 1990s andor in my 20s during the early 2000s. Yes I am aware I am showing my age yet oh well. The following is a sampler of some of the magnificent hard rock andor metal songs in this music playlist and my admission andor source of when I first/originally had the chance to hear them; Duality by Slipknot (2004 via online radio and California local radio around the Coronado San Diego California area), Chop Suey by System of a Down (local radio near the Mayport Florida Naval base and online radio around 2005), Rollin by Limp Bizkit (either around 2001/2002 in Yokosuka Japan during one of my work shifts), When Worlds Collide by Powerman 5000 (around 1999/early 2000 via local radio and television in Calumet City Illinois), Push It by Static X (around 1999/early 2000 via local radio and television in Calumet City Illinois), Getting Away With Murder by Papa Roach (either around 2004 via San Diego California local radio andor online radio andor local radio andor online radio around the Mayport Naval Base area), Pardon Me by Incubus (early 2000 via local radio and television in Calumet City Illinois), Bother by Stone Sour (via local radio around the Mayport Naval Base area andor online radio around 2006), Youth of the Nation by P.O.D. (around 2002 via I think was a various artist compilation cd when I was stationed in Yokosuka Japan through the U.S. Navy), Butterfly by Crazytown (either around 2002 when I was stationed in Yokosuka Japan or during my time of being stationed on the North Island Naval Base in Coronado California), Diary of Jane by Breaking Benjamin (around 2006 via local radio around the Mayport Florida Naval Base area). Of course, there are also more compelling rock songs in this Amazon music playlist that is Nu-Metal Super Set. One of my reasons that I confess to collecting and keeping this type of music playlist is to both archive some of my past musical interests for both present and future reference and also as some potential music ideas to keep in mind as a writer/author for a story I intend to complete by the early quarter of 2018 (April 2 2018)andor sooner.

Intersecting Details on Military and Food Across Different Time Periods, November 30, 2017
I admit that I am both intuitively and logically aware that as a food service worker/employee connected with a university that I am actually outside the target audience for this kindlebook that is Food In The American Military; A History by John C. Fisher and Carol Fisher. I am guessing that this kindlebook may be targeted either for a person currently taking some cooking classes andor a chef andor cook currently affiliated with a cafeteria either in the private sector, U.S. federal government sector andor military sector (such as a military base like Andrews Airforce base in Maryland andor the Norfolk Virginia Naval base) etc. The following is some of the information included on why I sense some of the written groups I just included are among the target audience of this kindlebook that is Food In The American Military; A History by John C. Fisher and Carol Fisher; the first chapter involving meals for the revolutionary war with references to diets involving meat and bread, a picture of salt pork affiliated with the Yorktown Victory Center, ration for for the U.S. Navy around 1818 such as one of the days menus for instance Friday that included 4 ounces cheese 14 ounces bread 2 ounces butter 1 half pint rice, 1 half pint molasses 1 half pint spirit, supply depots and transportation of supplies involving food during the U.S. Civil War, the Salvation Army arriving in Europe in August 1917 to establish canteens serving such items as doughnuts and coffee plus much more in this kindlebook.

Extraordinary Mix of Music, November 30, 2017
This Amazon music playlist of Grammy-Winning Songs has a stunning blend of different songs across various genres that include both tunes that I discovered this collection; I Write The Songs by Barry Manilow, Up Up And Away by The 5th Dimension, Games People Play by Joe South, You’ve Got A Friend by James Taylor, The Way We Were by Barbara Streisand, You Light Up My Life by Debby Boone. Of course there is a wide range of tunes that I am previously familiar with that include the following; Thinking Out Loud by Ed Sheeran, We Are Young by Fun feat. Janelle Monae, Smooth by Santana feat. Rob Thomas,Beautiful Day by U2, Dance With My Father by Luther Vandross, Daughters by John Mayer, Sailing by Christopher Cross, Wind Beneath My Winds by Bette Midler,Alright by Kendrick Lamar, Just the Way You Are by Billy Joel, Somewhere Out There by Linda Ronstadt James Ingram, That’s What Friends Are For by Dionne Warwick Elton John Gladys Knight Stevie Wonder etc. As a result, I would dare to say this Amazon music playlist is a collection of songs for many people who enjoy eclectic blends of mix because of the strong variety of the assortment of songs.

Amazon Video of the Second World War The Aircraft Carriers
Very Informative
I confess that one of the reasons why this documentary that is The Second World War; The Aircraft Carriers caught my attention was because of my previous familiarity with having been on some of them (the USS Nimitz in 2004), the USS Eisenhower for part of 2008 and 2009(based in Norfolk Virginia), and I sometimes visited the USS Kitty Hawk when I was stationed in Yokosuka Japan for part of 2002 and part of 2003 as my blessing from heaven husband was stationed on the USS Kitty-Hawk. We met through both of us being part of the U.S. Navy in Yokosuka Japan in August 2002 but I was stationed on a destroyer class ship that was based out of Yokosuka Japan which was the USS O’Brien (from September 2000 until October 2003)while he was stationed on the USS Kitty Hawk(from August 2002 until early 2005) (fortunately we are coming up on our 14 year wedding anniversary on January 22 2018 but that is something for another post). Anyhow, some of the following details are included in this compelling documentary involving the aircraft carrier; some of the aircraft used in the Royal Navy many years ago, U.S. Navy Pilots would train in either Anapolis Maryland, Pensacola Florida to train to fly on some of the following carriers when they were commissioned; USS Hornet, USS Yorktown etc., there was coverage of some of the U.S. Navy sailors on an aircraft carrier that were preparing food for at least 3000 other men, laundry services on an aircraft carrier are featured, one of the post offices on an aircraft carrier are shown and much more. Some of the credits to this documentary are listed to be the following; Narrator Don BurBridge, Archive Footage from the National Archives in Washington USA, Production Manager Joane Garofalo, Production Assistant Vicky Pheasant, Production Secretary Emma Vialls, Title Music Lindsay Bridgewater, 1999 Entertainment Publishing Ltd, Sound Facility Creative Sound LTD, Sound Engineer John Buckley, Editor Peter Davidson, Executive Producer Geoff Kempin, Produced by Lyn Beardsall and Robert Garofalo, Director Peter Davidson, 1999 Classic Pictures.

Food Truck Ideas, December 3, 2017
Due to the nature of my employment I am aware that I would have to ask for permission first if I ever did take a serious plunge into the food truck business to ensure that it would be conflict-free with my food service employment. I have seen a multiple number of food trucks in the Washington D.C. area in the past 7.5 years of residing in Hyattsville Maryland which piqued my curiosity to check out this kindlebook of Food Truck How To Start & Finance Your Business by Brian Mahoney. Some of the details he includes in this kindlebook; some of the places that food trucks open on shop for business such as college campuses, movie sets, military bases, events such as carnivals sporting events construction sites etc, the history of the food truck precursors such as the Texas chuckwagon of the later 1800s and one of the lunch wagons in Providence Rhode Island, later versions of the food trucks such as the mobile canteens that were opened in the late 1950s that were authorized by the U.S. Army and operated on army bases, food trucks being hired for events such as public gatherings for art festivals movie nights, different food trucks across various countries such as Belgium Canada France Mexico United Kingdom etc., one of the movies about a food truck, a website to go to for grant or loan money for a food business, web resource guide for food truck catering supplies, and more.

Euphoric Chillout Electronic Tune, December 1, 2017
I am fortunate to have originally heard the Myon Remix of Heaven by Jes around the spring of 2011. For whatever reason, I also would frequently listen to this creative tune around June 2011. Naturally, it is worth it to me to also have a digital version of this tune because of Jes's ethereal vocals and the healing electronic/dance music that goes along with the Myon Remix of Heaven by Jes. The Myon Remix of Heaven by Jes is the perfect song to get if you crave a joyful andor spiritual type of dance/electronic tune.

One Of A Kind Tune, December 1, 2017
I must preface this review by making it clear that I normally prefer happy/blissful love songs especially to go along with the bliss and appreciation I feel for my incredible husband. However, I admit that one of the reasons why this song Captain of Her Heart by Double is the exception to this rule is because of the harmony of music and lyrics to go along with this unique song. Plus another one of the other multiple reasons; I remember actually first hearing this song during my senior year in high school at a grocery store that I worked at and for whatever reason the novelty of this memorable song embedded in my mind. There are other reasons I could list yet I am intuitively influenced to keep this review of the Captain of Her Heart (Special Long Version) short, sweet, and to the point. This song the Captain of Her Heart (Special Long Version)by Double is ideal for eclectic music listeners as the song has a fusion of multiple instruments to go along with the powerful vocals in this adult contemporary music song.

Witchy Woman
Pleasant
Classic Rock Love Song
I admit that
I actually only find out about this compelling song that is Witchy Woman by the
Eagles around the Spring of 2012 after first hearing this moving/brilliant
story type of song on a music collection titled The Very Best of Eagles. Even
with the title of Witchy Woman, I take this song to be more about a woman who
is maybe the female version of a womanizer that can charm many men and pulls
them in more by her charm andor charisma. However, I am guessing that this song
could also symbolize a musical story of a woman who is a heartbreaker/ modern
day player with great beauty mainstream society ideal wise andor a woman who
falls outside of mainstream beauty ideals yet is aware of how to use her energy
andor power to romantically captivate.

One Life Changed Dramatically, December 3, 2017
The film Being There has some brilliant acting from multiple people all around. In Being There, the character of Chauncey Gardiner, a.k.a Chance the Gardner (Pete Sellers) ends up starting all over after the death of his employer. The viewer is getting a glimpse into Chance’s persona when a coworker tells him of his employer’s passing. The fact that he has never ventured outside of his employer’s home is the least of his challenges when he is told by some lawyers handling his estate that he has to move out of his employer’s home by the next day. The viewer is left wondering how things are going to go for Chance until he is unexpectedly hit by a car with Eve Rand (Shirley Maclaine) and owned by her husband wealthy businessman Ben Rand. There are multiple brilliant acting performances all around yet I have to admit that I thought the acting portrayal of Eve Rand was very moving/heartfelt because of the hospitality she showed to who she mistakes for Chauncey Gardiner (Chance the Gardener) while dealing with the emotions she has while coping with the situation involving her husband Ben Rand who even with her misgivings she clearly loves. Regardless of how I may be perceived for writing this, I do believe that a person can learn more about the world around them/become wiser regardless of their age, it just may take more effort from some compared to others depending on the type of life a person is living and the environment they voluntarily choose to reside in. However, I was surprised to see Eve Rand react that way she did around Ben Rand only because it is common knowledge both many men and women romantically crave someone who is somewhat at least on the same level of intelligence or greater, the same level of being intuitive andor greater andor the same level of self-confidence or greater self confidence as them. I understand how abrasive this may sound, it is just that I had to give a disclaimer to others to imply the level of an open mind a person must keep to watching this. Even to this day, many mainstream articles (even from spiritual sources andor even from respected andor prestigious sources) preface the type of job andor socio-economic status a person has in order to imply the worthiness of the article. I am complain free while saying this, I’m just implying the way of the beast common knowledge wise. Chauncey Gardiner becomes very popular, has an esteemed reputation in even the high society circles of the Washington D.C. area and not one person is able to dig up anything juicy about his past. Even a male employee connected to the Washington Post tries to dig up something gossip-worthy for mainstream fame yet he causes a female employee to quit when he presses for her to do it and she tried to make it clear that trying to dig up any history on Chauncey Gardiner is in vain. The Washington Post reporter felt compelled to dig up some info after noticing Chauncey Gardiner’s reputation bringing him fame after the President (Jack Warden) quotes him in a speech. The only man who seems to know the truth about Chauncey Gardiner is Dr. Robert Allenby (Richard Dysart). However, Dr. Allenby holds back from telling his employer Ben Rand the truth in order to protect Rand’s morale and high spirits. The end of the movie ruthlessly skewers politics by the way a group of men have a discussion around politics and how this ties into the main character (played by Peter Sellers). Even I know to be very careful what online andor offline sources(such as television) that I comment on andor share yet fortunately it is because of both knowledge gleaned from my undergraduate college years and my interest in public relations/advertising trends that help inform my discernment. For these reasons alone, I strive to avoid judging others who are still learning discernment even as I am guilty of playing along with some of the online sources that I’m aware are targeted to me for certain reasons. I refrain from saying more as a woman such as myself has to keep some secrets as to how to tell which online andor offline sources that are worth me looking at and which ones are better left for others.

Unique Dance/Electronic Love Song, December 3, 2017
I admit that it was an easy choice for me to listen to and buy this song that is Wolves by Selena Gomez & Marshmello as a nod/tribute to my sweet husband who has a celebrity crush on Selena Gomez. We both recently watched the music video to this song together on youtube and he did enjoy the video. The Wolves song is actually very romantic and basically expresses a musical story of the lengths that someone would go through just for someone they intensely love. I am guessing the song lyric imagery of even having to go through wolves for the person you romantically love metaphorically means even willing to expose/immerse yourself to some sort of danger/dangers just for a person you romantically love.

Intoxicating Club Love Song, December 3, 2017
I actually first heard a variation of this tuneful song that is Uh Ooh (Remix) by Lumidee feat. Busta Rhymes & Fabulous) on a music collection called Universal Smash Hits 2 in 2003. I enjoy this exciting love song because it is basically a song about a woman who stands by her man through various times in life. She is basically making it clear to the love of her life(husband, lover you pretty much get the picture etc.) that she is pretty much there to stay as long as he wants her in his life.

Educative and Motivational, December 3, 2017
I admit that my interest in obtaining Kid’s Baking Championship Season 2 emerged less than 24 hours after ordering Top Chef Jr. Season 1. Kid’s Baking Championship Season 2 opens with some very self confident and enthusiastic kids baking different cakes to go along with the ice creams for the judges to taste. I also like how the ingredients were put in a way in the first episode to give a person an idea on how they can at least come close to making a similar cake at home. I intend to watch the remaining episodes of this season of Kid’s Baking Championship Season 2 by January 1 2018 or sooner and I intend to give an update by then.

Intention Factor Element, December 3, 2017
This kindlebook of The Law of Distraction & Art of Intention by Tamara Dorris caught my attention.This kindlebook does give illuminating information on why being in close proximity to hearing other’s good fortune andor even seeing stories of it can be powerful factors of the positive blessings/happy preview of what can be coming into your life. Information is shared on why it is helpful to pair faith with intent, why forgiving others is very important in manifestation (an area that I admit I am in the process of improving/healing), how what you see in others positive or negative actually hides a reflection within yourself, how volunteering can both help you feel good and how that is tied into manifestation, and more. The only caveat is that this kindlebook must be looked at more as complementary to other law of attraction sources, a gateway to other law of attraction portals so to speak. However in defense of the author, they do give a good extensive list of different law of attraction resources to look at towards the end of the kindlebook.
