The World as We See It

.
It took me a long time but it was worth the wait. I finally found a movie to rent that I could relate to, laugh out loud to and learn something from:
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
It makes me open my eyes to the fact that we are strangers in a strange [...]

Rolling Thunder Through an Open Window

With window open rain fell as if the night sky was playing a piece from its most loved composer, a master piece. The percussionist was at her best. I don’t believe I have ever heard thunder roll for so long and so magnificently. The long last ending seemed to rattle the window one last [...]

We went in with the Gulf [...]
