A Friday Night Bargain Film Purchase

I admit that I very recently took a chance on purchasing This film Ford V Ferrari this past Friday night and I started watching it Saturday afternoon and finished watching it by Saturday evening (fortunately even watching this film via laptop computer amazon lets you easily pause the film and allows you to finish where you previously started when going away for a while to do other things before returning to see the film). Anyhow, this was a suspenseful and fascinating film to watch from start to finish even with the film length (you want to allow approximately 2 and a half hours for this film). However the time goes fast watching this film because of the intriguing plot elements. The characters of Ken Miles (Christian Bale) and Carroll Shelby (Matt Damon) are drawn together almost by destiny metaphorically speaking some time after Shelby’s boss Henry Ford II (Tracy S Letts) implies in front of the character of Lee Iacocca (Jon Bernthal) that he is going to do what it takes to achieve a race car win involving the competition of the Ferrari and the leader founder counterpart affiliated with that car  Enzo Ferrari (Remo Girone). Despite the good working relationship between Iacocca and Shelby, Shelby has to contend with trying to to at first win over and then both help and fight to keep Miles both because of the complicated professional dynamics involving Leo Beebe (Josh Lucas) and also stemming from how Beebe interacts around both Shelby and Iacocca. Additionally, initially Beebe has his own mind that he already has in mind that he would like to go with regardless of the potentials involving Miles. The film Ford V Ferrari shows how the characters of Ken Miles and Caroll Shelby eventually bring out the best in each other and the film with craft shows how Miles wife Mollie Miles (Catriona Balfe) and his son Peter Miles (Noah Jupe) heavily factor into Miles balancing his increased prominence in his career life while juggling his private life. Other actors and actresses feature in Ford Vs Ferrari and there are some facts sprinkled towards the end of the film for instance: Revered by racing fans worldwide Ken Miles was inducted into the Motorsports Hall of Fame, Caroll Shelby became one of the most celebrated car designers in history etc.

Seeing Some Online Articles Indirectly Influenced…

I admit that the purchase of this kindlebook How To Be The Employee Your Company Can’t Live Without: 18 Ways to Become Indispensable by Glenn Shepard was indirectly influenced by some of what I had seen popular online where articles that featured a vast number of online commenters feature articles of employees andor career/employed professional stories who fuel content for widely viewed gossip andor discussion on the implication if the person is a “good employee” and I noticed that information from some of the sites I have viewed on being what is considered a “good employee” is far from abundantly and/or  frequently discussed online unless a person consciously searches out the information on a frequent enough basis. I logically understand what I interpret how a person is viewed as a good employee is going to differ by a person’s professional background andor history. However, one detail I feel comfortable discussing here is that one definition of a good employee could symbolize someone who is able to stay at one particular company continuously for at least 3 to 5 years andor longer andor is invited to return to  working to a previous company that they worked for regardless if the length of previous employment was within that working person’s control. I obviously understand even at my awareness level there are many more ways to describe what is a good employee though I obviously care to sharpen my awareness around this for multiple reasons, one reason I feel comfortable sharing is that both my husband and I are in mutual agreement that the neighborhood we currently live is one we both could easily see ourselves living in for the rest of our current lifetimes because we both enjoying living in our current place of residence for multiple reasons extending beyond reasonable affordability. However, I understand that my quality of life economic, career and money wise even while living in an area I am passionate about is something that I must take increased responsibility with I making a conscious choice and decision to understand through offline and online sources on what is considered a good employee, which indirectly affects one of the multiple reasons why I took a chance on this title by Glenn Shepard which includes: the author explains why a person with increased job seniority must still stay very vigilant andor even more vigilant than when they were first starting out at a particular job with the author utilizing a story of a person who had 13 stellar years with the organization they were employed with, the author makes a case on why a person employed with the company would benefit from seeing and acting as they are part owner of a particular place even if they are in a non-management position andor are very new andor junior to the organization, the author explains why a person caring to be a good employee sees themselves as an extension of your company to the general public, I confess that even I am previously aware that another coworker might be watching you even outside of work it is just the way that it is in life, however the author definitely shook my current paradigm a little like an etch a sketch when they explained why it is also beneficial to keep in mind that some customers connected to your job andor business could also be always be watching, the author explains why a reader intent on being a better employee andor good employee must treat their current andor upcoming job as a lifelong career regardless of how long their tenure lasts andor extends at a company andor career, what a certain song by a certain country music artist has to do with the author’s message of being an indispensable employee, the author explains why a person being passionate about what they do job andor careerwise is a choice instead of a result, the author explains why becoming among the most reliable people in the company relates to being indispensable andor highly valued employee, the author explains why a person caring to be a more valued employee would want to care about broadening their social circle of influence (which I reluctantly admit I intend to improve upon because even before this current covid19 pandemic I was far from the most extroverted andor outgoing person socially both offline and online), the author also explains why a successful career relates to minimize raining on someone’s parade metaphorically speaking and trying to allow a person their good news andor victories whether small andor large victories before sharing them news andor information that might be far from happy, making sure to make whatever is important to the other person important to you whenever feasible (I have had some practice doing this because of my amazing husband however seeing this reminder is timely for my wisdom seeking spirit especially since I intend to improve upon being far from outgoing/extroverted both offline and online), the author makes a persuasive case for trying to balance an excellent work ethic with trying to minimize being a workaholic whenever possible/feasible and more (again a timely reminder for me because I reluctantly admit that it has sometimes been very enticing/tempting for me in the past to work a certain number of increased hours to boost my money savings since fortunately my husband is easygoing and encouraging about me doing so), why sometimes you might encounter far from encouraging people even when trying to better yourself as an employee andor make yourself more competitive in the workforce marketplace, the author discusses ego and gratitude and some of the reasons why increased money andor prosperity comes later after the gratitude, and more.

Spirit Guide Discussion Through Various Lenses

Working With Spirit Guides by Ruth White is another title I had heard about through lucky chance online. I have experienced multiple miracles in multiple areas of my life through learning how spirit guide communication works including through intuition, though I keep a receptive mind to certain spirit guide discussion titles that also come into my awareness from time to time for multiple reasons. Working With Your Spirit Guides by Ruth White contains among the following: how spirit guides factored into a life circumstance where a client of the author had a father who had predeceased her mother and now this same woman was faced with whether to care for her mother during the mother’s twilight years because there was far from resolved agreements between the woman involved and other people in her life when it came to who should look after her mother, how spirit guides factor into karma and reincarnation and why sometimes the next life might sometimes be the polar opposite of a person’s previous life in the instance of the author discussing how a person might be known as far from clever in one life and incarnate into the next life/future lifetime where they are known as very clever andor a person who goes from far from rich moneywise in a current life to very rich moneywise in the next life/their future lifetime etc., questions often asked about spirit guides for instance do we all have spirit guides andor have we known our spirit guides before from a previous lifetime, the author discusses if a person’s spirit guides know when they are trying to make contact, the author discusses some of the ways that spirit guide guidance comes through, the author features the discussion on if a person’s spirit guides ever reincarnate via a potential return to a future lifetime on earth and/or other worlds, the author touches on the delicate discussion on if any of a person’s multiple spirit guides come from other worlds outside of earth, the author discusses on if our spirit guides judge us, what the author is communicating with a chapter section on preparing for contact with celestial spirit guides, the author explains what they are saying with the chapter guidance is everywhere (through a person’s sleeptime dreams, synchronistic circumstances etc.), and more.

Intuition Related Title That I Discovered Online

The audio and kindlebook of You Are Psychic by Pete A Sanders Jr. appealed to me for multiple reasons. One reason I feel comfortable admitting is that there are times I realized that I have used it during various stages of my life even if far from consciously at the time and with modest intent being aware that each time I am exposed to more ideas on intuition the more I rationally and instinctively see how much more there is for me to learn and understand about intuition. What do I mean by having engaged with my intuition during various stages of my life even if far from consciously:  I had previously made 8th grade valedictorian and graduating high school in the top approximately 10% to 15% of my class while being lucky to juggle a grocery store bagger and eventual cashier type of job using both a combination of studying and at times simply engaging with my intuition to do certain schoolwork (even though I rationally know I could have obviously done better if I more frequently did certain homework assignments outside of school rather than frequently using some of the study hall periods allotted to me). A more recent period in my life when I have engaged with both ration and intuition: My husband and I fortunately agreed with the choice of our current apartment in an area we both enjoy living in and I admit to both engaging with my logic and intuition with working with my husband in choosing the apartment. I have enjoyed a multiple number of other lucky/fortunate circumstances in both my personal and professional/career/employment life where I had either consciously andor far from consciously utilized my intuition, however my logic andor intuition are indirectly influencing me to keep my ego in check and refrain from boasting further in this entry for multiple obvious reasons. What I do feel comfortable admit with this entry is that I was indirectly inspired to view this You Are Psychic title by Pete Sanders by lucky chance from an online youtube channel and because one of my multiple goals involves continually enhancing my intuition I decided to take a chance with obtaining You Are Psychic by Pete A Sanders for both present and future reference. The following are some of the abundant concepts on intuition that the author discusses in You Are Psychic: author introduction to the New Digital Edition, some of the reasons why the author enjoyed an ESP television program titled One Step Beyond, why growing up in southern California indirectly influenced why the author saw a diverse group of psychics, what the author is communicating when he expresses an understanding of some of the reasons why various people see psychics though he explains why it can be beneficial for a person to independently work on their own latent psychic abilities while moderating the amount of times one speaks to a psychic within a certain timeframe/time period,  the author’s story on how one of his opera singer clients utilized her intuition to help save her husband’s life, the story of how a free soul instructor based in Colorado utilized her intuition for both her children, husband, and herself while on a camping trip in the Rockies, another story of how a person engaged with intuition for health reasons when moving from Manhattan to a small town, ideas are shared on You Are Psychic in finding the right place to live with the author explaining some of the processes involved with he and his wife Debbie finding a new home, some of the ways that the author’s mother utilized intuition in buying train travel fare that covers across multiple parts of Western Europe, a five minute morning meditation is shared, and more.

While on the work related excursion with her friends Pierce unexpectedly is reacquainted with one of her friends Julian Stevens who is now a musician  (Larenz Tate). Multiple other celebrities are also featured in Girls Trip via cameos including: Carla Hall, Neyo, Common,Diddy, Neyo, Faith Evans, Mike Epps, Mariah Carey,  Kofi Siriboe,Tonea Stewart, Deborah Ayorinde, Lara Grice etc. This is an ideal movie for comedy relief.

Photography Title

This book The Moment It Clicks: Photography Secrets From One of the World’s Top Shooters by Joe McNally interested me for multiple reasons, One reason I feel ok with sharing is that I was hoping to gain an increasing understanding andor some ideas related to photography. A sampler of what is included in this book The Moment It Clicks: a photo and information on Dr. Mehmet Oz, a photo of Steve Martin and some ideas of what the author utilized to take that photo, a picture and feature about the author’s daughters, the author shares a photo of himself with a group of multiple people holding lights for his lighting tips, a photo of a space shuttle launch and more.

The following is my previous Amazon review from September 18, 2017 of Ready For It by Taylor Swift

Bold and Novel Taylor Swift

September 18, 2017

As with many others, I actually first heard of Taylor Swift through local radio when I was stationed in Florida through the navy in 2007 from the song Teardrops On My Car and I purchased my first Taylor Swift music collection in autumn 2010 with Speak Now. I would have to say that many of the songs that she has put out over the years have only gotten better even with her music sound shifting. The song Ready For It? by Taylor Swift actually reminds me in a creative way of her 2014 song Wildest Dreams. However, Ready For It is innovative in its own way because the dance and club sound mixes well with what appears to be a musical story of a person coming out and admitting to the person they have romantic feelings for that the dreams that they have of them are pretty wild (from a writer’s point of view).

The following is my previous Amazon review from August 17, 2016 of Confessions Live From London Tour of Madonna

A Radiant Live Concert Collection

August 17, 2016

It was an easy decision for me to take a chance on the Confessions Tour-Live From London (CD+DVD) by Madonna because my husband has originally purchased Madonna’s Confessions on the Dancefloor cd for me around the 2006/2007 timeframe. This dvd/cd set of the Confessions Tour-Live From London is even better than I expected because the cd has a medley of thrilling songs for the cd such as the motivational Jump, the daring Erotica, and the cheery Lucky Star concert versions of these songs, along with more songs on this 13 song collection. The live concert dvd has some of her underrated songs such as Like It or Not and Let It Will Be, a superb collection of 21 songs on the dvd (Jump and Ray of Light are among some of the concert performances that I enjoyed on this collection). I also like the bonuses included with the dvd such as the rollerskating and photogallery bonuses and that fact that this concert includes a performance where Madonna gives unadulterated and musically brave performances in the live concert of the Confessions Tour-Live From London.

The following is my previous Amazon review from August 10, 2019 of Cmon And Get My Love by Cathy Dennis feat. D-Mob

Exciting 90s Love Song

August 10, 2019

To think that I was in my preteen andor teenager between the ages of 12 to 15 years old when I first heard this entertaining hip-hop and dance love song that is Cmon and Get My Love by D-Mob feat. Cathy Dennis. From the lyrics and club music this song appears to be a music story of two people who are mutually in love with each other with the singer even admitting how her sleeptime dreams factor in how she feels. Regardless of the meaning of the song, I also enjoy that the female and the male singer time their vocal contributions perfectly to the exciting melodies of this song.

Expressing Spirit Stirring Song

I admit a multiple number of factors influenced my purchase and receptivity to enjoying this quirky Leviathan song by Volbeat. I had recently seen an email newsletter connected to this group and around this time I was hearing this song on the radio which indirectly influenced this interesting song growing on me (plus less than 5 years ago, one of my family members on my late adoptive mother’s side told me about this group as they were enjoying their music which indirectly influenced me to keep an open mind to listening to this group). I plan to give myself more time to further understand the deeper meanings of this song however the harmony of rock music to the lyrics of the song combine together well and give the song a magnetic/charismatic energy.

Summery Sounding Yet Can Be Enjoyed Year Round Because

A Girl Like Me by Black Eyed Peas & Shakira is an entertaining club and dance tune that pretty much appears to symbolize for fun the type of person that is being looked for. I confess that some of the lyrics in the song I am going to have to use a translator sometime this week, still the music in the song is amusing to listen to.

The following is my previous Amazon review of Stellar by Incubus from April 11, 2019

A Different Kind of Love Song

April 11, 2019

This remarkable song that is Stellar by Incubus has some amusing rock melodies and space theme music elements set to backdrop of someone encountering another person who has definitely made a mark on them with certain talents andor abilities that they have. I am tempted to put this in more explanatory words though most music listeners are probably going to guess the multiple meanings of the song once they look up the lyrics andor listen to the song online.

The following is my previous amazon review from August 17, 2019 of If You Only Knew by Shinedown

A Deep and Illuminating Alternative Rock Song

August 17, 2019

I confess that there are a multiple number of Shinedown songs that I find entertaining andor meaningful to listen to. I was first exposed to listening to this heartfelt song of If You Only Knew by Shinedown around the 2009 timeframe via one of the local Orlando Florida radio stations. I prefer to keep it personal on how some songs grow on me after I listen to them enough and I admit that If You Only Knew is one of those songs that I still find enjoyable to listen to multiple years later. One of the reasons being is that the song appears to describe an enduring type of connection andor relationship that transcends circumstances.

Easier to Watch And Enjoy If You Watch Westworld Because

This Futureworld film is most ideal to watch if you have previously watched Westworld because two of the characters are put together to help drum up good publicity for Futureworld Tracy Ballard (Blythe Danner) and Chuck (Peter Fonda) are researching events and circumstances pertaining to Futureworld that tied into some of what previously happened at Westworld. The working relationship between Chuck and Tracy starts off a little complicated because Chuck had been one of Tracy’s professional colleagues coworkers and he previously forced Tracy to eventually find work elsewhere when they previously worked together in other work related circumstances. Tracy goes on to eventually achieve a successful career and achieving prominent career accomplishments even after being forced to look elsewhere, however Tracy naturally initially has her guard up around Chuck because of their shared previous work professional history. The characters of Tracy and Chuck go to a Futureworld that has Spaworld, Medieval world, Romanworld, and Futureworld as some of the choices available. Additionally both Tracy and Chuck get an idea to gather intel and information pertaining to Futureworld from Futureworld employee Harry Croft (Stuart Margolin), however Harry is also  initially reserved about freely sharing information about Futureworld. Additionally, Tracy Chuck and Harry have to also go about gathering information very carefully both because of how often they are watched by other employees connected to Futureworld and because of what Chuck knows happened to a previous Delos employee who was ready to spill some controversial details on what was going on at Futureworld.  

The following is my previous Amazon review from February 16, 2011 of Rebel Yell by Billy Idol which I admit is far from on the tamer side compared to some of my other reviews though I am sharing while I am still feeling brave enough to publicly share before I become more reserved on what I share for justified, happy andor good reasons

Steamy Yell

February 16, 2011

“Rebel Yell” is a very enjoyable and daring passionate lust song. As per the songfacts website, “Rebel Yell” is basically about a one night stand that is very pleasurable that the lover ends up expressing that they want more. This is also made clear with the following lyrics:

In the midnight hour she cried- “more, more, more”

With a rebel yell she cried- “more, more, more”

In the midniight hour babe- “more, more, more”

With a rebel yell- “more, more, more”

More, more, more.

Obviously, there is more to this gem of a song. Billy Idol really puts alot of his spirit into the song in such an excellent fashion that it is almost like he is telling a very entertaining story that he is simultaneously singing. I admit that I first heard this song when I was a teenager, and I currently still love listening to this song. The guitar riffs and his fantastic singing blend well together with this song to make it a musical track that is fun to listen to multiple times in a row. “Rebel Yell” is also another song to put in a love/lust playlist and/or 80’s classic song playlist

Good Blend of Carrot and Ginger

This 16.3 Ounce Can of Campbell’s Well Yes Carrot & Ginger soup was bought for me by my husband and the soup has a perfect blend of carrot and ginger blends. This soup has a delish earthy taste even after microwaving it for a few minutes.

Easy To Prepare and Tasty

My husband recently bought a 2 pack of 2 pounds of Mystic Chai (32 ounces) via amazon. The blend has subtle hints of honey and cinnamon flavor. Usually my husband and I enjoy this drink after mixing some spoonfuls in water that has been microwaved in a coffee cup after approximately 2 minutes. Obviously this drink can be enjoyed as a standalone hot drink mix though I admit to preferring to add creamer to this chai (my current choice of creamer is caramel macchiato with this type of drink).

Less than 40 hours ago my husband and I enjoyed some breakfast food on a Saturday morning from Pocahontas Pancake House in Virginia Beach Virginia. The waitress who came to our table was polite and my husband and I enjoyed our food, my husband chose the country fried steak with sauce and scrambled eggs meal while I chose the Pocahontas Omelette breakfast meal that comes with grilled chicken mushrooms spinach, onions, mozzarella cheese Pocahontas sauce with pancakes and homefries. With humble intent, I share that I paid for the meal from money made from my most recent place of employment.

Approximately 8 to 9 days ago, my husband and I decided to try food from the Texas De Brazil place as an early Valentine Days meal from the location inside the Macarthur Center mall in Norfolk Virginia especially because we had previously enjoyed food at a Texas De Brazil location in Washington D.C. approximately around 2 to 3.5 years ago. We had a friendly server who came to our table and we both enjoyed our food which included: lamb chops, flank steak, barbecued pork ribs, some salad items that included roasted garlic mozzarella tomatoes salmon green beans, Brazilian cheese bread, fried bananas, a pitcher of peach and mango sangria. I am happy to say that my husband paid/treated us to this early Valentine’s Day meal.

The Opposite Of A Utopian Theme Park Film Still

My angelic husband willingly agreed to watch this Westworld film with me today for our 17 year wedding anniversary movie purchase treat. Additionally, I confess that I was indirectly influenced to purchase this Westworld film sometime after having a strange sleeptime dream involving what appeared to be a theme park less than 50 hours ago. The pros: despite this far from Utopian film this Westworld film features a vast connection of multiple actors and actresses who play tourists who choose to enjoy some of the adult playground theme park simulated worlds that are themed after the American Old West (Western World), Medieval Europe (Medieval World), and Roman World (the ancient Roman city of Pompeii). Key to central story of Westworld are the characters of John Blane (James Brolin) and Peter Martin (Richard Benjamin) who are friends vacationing together to Westworld. They each get into various adventures involving the simulated experiences of women and dangerous games with their lives while having the simulated experience of living in the 1880s American West. A very open mind receptive to unconventional lifestyles is ideal for this type of film for multiple reasons, one reason being the Westworld film shows some reasons why Roman World is popular with a high number of women tourists and a controversial brief scene of a married couple traveling together to Westworld that involves the husband choosing to vacation in Medieval World while the wife chooses to vacation in Roman World. The caveat: the ending of Westworld definitely has a film viewer wondering what is to become next though I admit that I am curious to both eventually watch the sequel of Future World that is listed online to go with this film and possibly eventually watch multiple episodes affiliated with the Westworld television series.

Timely With Social Distancing Going On Because….

I acknowledge and I realize that I am very lucky in multiple areas of my life and I am blessed to be married 17 years today to an amazing husband who loves me regardless of my long term career and money prospects through both challenges and good times (and yes I do the same for him I always have and always will). Additionally, I am blessed/lucky to have experienced living independently on my own since June 2000 when I was 19 going on 20 and that same drive/ambition that propelled me to dare take that plunge indirectly influences me to aim a little higher in thinking of outside the box ideas for myself to continue evolving upward regardless of the shape that my career, money and volunteer life takes and to satisfy some of the multiple goals I have for practical reasons (for instance outside the box ideas to gain the option of saving towards a paid for car to gift my husband and I with more options to get around andor try certain side hustles that are helped having a car, I have experienced the blessing of being able to pay the rent early and I keep my mind open/receptive for legal ideas to increase the frequency of that happy experience/blessing etc) . However, this kindlebook The Ultimate Side Hustle Book: 450 Moneymaking Ideas for The Gig Idea by Elana Varon does live up to its title with an abundant mix of side hustle ideas: house cleaner, house painter, pool cleaner, warehouse worker etc., and more. The only caveat is that some of the ideas that a person can get regardless of their experience level education level how competitive they are considered in the workplace are more or less helped with having a car for instance I see an obvious gold mine in the area I live for certain meal drivers which that lucrative idea is referenced in this book. However, I did spot a few ideas that I could dive into within the next few months andor sooner. I prefer to be discreet about them for obvious reasons however one of the pros of this book is that the author gives ideas that can be further researched into for readers of diverse backgrounds. The additional caveat is that even though this book does include multiple ideas further research is going to be needed even if a reader is certain about trying one andor more of the ideas written about because a multiple number of the ideas are at least referenced however with still having yet the inclusion of further offline andor online resources to research the idea. Still this kindlebook The Ultimate Side Hustle Book: 450 Moneymaking Ideas For The Gig Economy at least feed a reader with multiple options that may otherwise take weeks andor months to come up with especially because of the obvious common knowledge that the available hours of workforce and career centers depending on where a person lives is obviously going to be indirectly affected by the current social distancing and covid19 rules depending on where a person lives.

The following is my previous Amazon review from May 4, 2011 of The Power Of Your Spirit by Sonia Choquette

“A Guide To A Powerful Spirit”

May 4, 2011

“The Power of Your Spirit” is an important book on making a connection with your higher self (spirit). As Sonia mentions, this connection helps and nourishes regardless of outside circumstances. “The Power of Your Spirit” is written with the essence of an abundance of love, and is an empowering guide that helps increase the ability to be graceful, creative, and inspired even when events turn out differently than expected. I also enjoyed reading this book because it serves as a gentle reminder on why it is essential and healing for the soul to make a connection with the higher self (spirit daily). I am glad to have a book like this to remind me of the importance of connecting with your own spirit. I have noticed in my own life that my own intuition and creativity have been increasing more and more each day as a result of my conscious intent to connect with my spirit (higher self, soul). The following is some of the helpful details that Sonia Choquette includes in “The Power of Your Spirit”

The following is my previous Amazon review from July 17, 2015 of the music collection that is Indie Love Latest & Greatest

Rhythmic Love Collection

July 17, 2015

This Indie Love Latest and Greatest is a various artist collection consisting of a 3 cd set (each containing twenty songs) appealed to me because I enjoy loves songs and the introduction of indie music (thanks to a hairstylist that recommended that I give this music genre a shot back in late 2011 after about some of music interests). The heterogeneous mix includes musicians and groups across various genres and time periods such as; She Will Be Loved by Maroon 5, One Republic Secrets, The Noisettes, Ellie Goulding, Amy Macdonald, KT Tunstall, The Magic Numbers, The Gossip, Feist, Athlete, Starsailor, Semisonic, Lamb, The Cardigans, The La’s. The Cure, Jett, Texas, 10CC, Art of Noise, The Pretenders and many more artists.

The following is my previous Amazon review from March 20, 2016 of Now That’s What I Call ACM Awards (50 Years)

Blend of 2000’s Era And Earlier Country Music

March 20, 2016

This music collection of Now That’s What I Call ACM Awards (50 Years) contains a diverse range of country music artists/groups on this cd. The price is perfect for the amount of songs that are on the collection (which makes it worth it to a person like myself who pays out of pocket). My late adoptive mother frequently played country music in the household during my pre-teen and teenage years (which directly influenced why I’m familiar with multiple 90’s country songs and why I’m open-minded in listening to some country music collections/country music artists/groups from time to time). As a result, my favorites from this collection are tricky for me to pin down and I prefer to leave that to other reviewers. However, as one can tell from the current online music listing on Amazon, there are music features both from the 2000’s and other songs from the 1990’s and/earlier. For instance some of the multiple artists representing 2000’s era country on this collection are; Jason Aldean, Eric Church, Luke Bryan, Kelly Clarkson, Reba Mcentire,Taylor Swift,Blake Shelton, Miranda Lambert, Taylor Swift, Lee Brice, Lady Antebellum,Brad Paisley, and more 2000’s era country groups/country musicians. Alabama, Dolly Parton, Kenny Rogers, Willie Nelson, The Judds, Randy Travis, The Highwayman song (my husband likes this song), and many more country artists and country groups are featured on this collection that represent the 1990s country music genre and/or earlier.

The following is my previous Amazon review from July 23, 2017 of The Ultimate Volunteer Handbook by Arthur Blaustein, I understand that because this volunteer idea book was published well before 2019 personal adjustments may have to be made depending on whoever views the book, however for some reason I felt logically andor intuitively drawn to reshare this book

Plethora of Volunteer Opportunities

July 23, 2017

First off, I feel blessed for all of the people both online and offline who helped give me the idea to volunteer for both professional and personal reasons. One of the personal reasons that I feel comfortable sharing is that I have a strong feeling that it is part of my destiny to volunteer and doing so would help further strengthen my goal of social interaction in order to be isolation-free for karmic, spiritual, personal, and professional reasons. I feel very lucky to have come across this kindlebook that is titled Make A Difference; The Ultimate Volunteer Handbook by Arthur Blaustein. The volunteer opportunities are divided up into various sections and contact information is featured. Some of the volunteer organizations featured in this kindlebook; Center For Health, Environment, and Justice (CHEJ), Environment America, People for the American Way (PFAW) etc.

The following is my previous amazon review from May 23, 2012 of the music collection Master Of My Make-Believe by Santigold

Musical Mastery

May 23, 2012

“Master Of My Make- Believe” by Santigold is a brave musical experiment that touches on the serious issues of life in a touching manner. I particularly enjoyed “Fame”, “God FromThe Machine”, “The Riot’s Gone”, and “Go”. “Master Of My Make-Believe” is a great cd to have for anyone who enjoys a careful blend of indie rock and electronica music.

The following is one of my previous Amazon reviews from August 19, 2018 of Burnin For You by Blue Oyster Cult

A Classic Rock Song of Passion

August 19, 2018

This song Burnin For You by Blue Oyster Cult is what I am guessing a daring type of rock song that appears to be feeling intense emotions for someone. The classic rock music and the lyrics meld together harmoniously. I admit that I first heard this song around 2006/2007 on what sounded to be some type of hybrid 80s/classic rock radio station that was part of one of the Jacksonville Florida radio stations (when my husband and I lived on the Mayport Naval base through the navy).

The following is my previous Amazon review from March 28, 2018 of Frontin by Neptunes feat. Pharrell Williams and Jay-Z

An Amusing Club Tune

March 28, 2018

Probably around the time I was between 23 to 24 years old was when I first heard this racy club melody that is Frontin by Pharrell Williams with the Neptunes feat. Jay-Z. This song is very bold and the chorus with Jay-Z is well-timed in this one of a kind club tune.

Vintage and Indie Rock

I admit that I recently saw an online email in one of my email inboxes that Lana Del Rey’s Chemtrails Over The Country Club music collection was going to eventually be released and I was indirectly influenced to listen to Let Me Love You Like a Woman by Lana Del Rey for multiple reasons one reason I feel comfortable admitting is that ever since I first listened to her music around autumn 2012, a multiple number of her songs have penetrated my music listening soul including both the happier and somber love songs. This Let Me Love You Like A Woman by Lana Del Rey captures her powerful and fantastic vocals inside a tapestry of vintage indie and chillout music. The song appears to illustrate the music narrator wearing their heart on their sleeve to a particular person that they are addressing this song to. 

The following is my previous Amazon review from September 14, 2019 of Say Youll Haunt Me by Stone Sour

Intense Rock Song

September 14, 2019

I confess that I enjoy the love song quality of Say You’ll Haunt Me by Stone Sour, a song that I am lucky to have unexpectedly discovered online around the late 2010/early 2011 timeframe. I admit that I find the music video to this vibrant rock love song very trippy, though I would definitely recommend Say Youll Haunt Me by Stone Sour either for rock listeners andor eclectic music listeners who enjoy passionate rock songs.

A Bargain Song Purchase Because

This magnetic song Black by Pearl Jam is a 90s alternative rock classic that highlights a person remembering someone in a thoughtful way despite the far from blissful tone of the song (because the song seems to symbolize the music narrator painting a picture of someone that they miss who it appears that they wish that the person that they are remembering could return to them someday though obviously from the lyrics of the song this appears up in the air andor far from certain if that was likely to occur). For whatever reason starting around less than 3 months ago, I kept hearing this song a healthy number of times on the radio which indirectly influenced the song growing on me and and to be more receptive to hearing this song more often despite Black by Pearl Jam being a far from euphoric love song. Still, this song is worth a listen if you are an eclectic music listener receptive to hearing classic rock songs that draw into a music listener’s soul.

A Spellbinding Music Tribute

For whatever reason, less than a month ago I noticed this music tribute of Black by Smith & Myers as one of the recommended songs on youtube that it was recommended I listen to based on my previous online interests in that channel. I admit that I was still on the fence about listening to the song until some time both either after andor around seeing this song recommendation online coupled with hearing this song by Pearl Jam on the radio before eventually obtaining this compelling song on Amazon. This is a far from joyous song still the way the song is performed even with the music tribute transforms remembering a person into a meaningful memory type of way. 

Channeling A Far From Preferred Experience Into Art Form

I am fortunate to have first heard and listened to the mesmerizing Red song by Taylor Swift well over 8 years ago from her Red music collection. This soap opera song transforms a song of heartbreak andor love into a charismatic music art form because of the way the storytelling of the song paints an analogy of what the music narrator symbolizes why her having described the whole experience as “Red” regardless of her powerful attempts to move past andor make peace with the experience(s) facilitating the “red” emotions.

The following is my previous Amazon review from October 28, 2012 of the music collection Red by Taylor Swift

Red Emotions From Taylor Swift

October 28, 2012

“Red” by Taylor Swift continues Taylor Swift’s musical journey of love and life. “We Are Never Getting Back Together” was an ok song, but I fortunately heard other tunes on this cd that I like more. The following are some of the other strong songs on her cd: “Sad Beautiful Tragic”, “Red”, “I Knew You Were Trouble”, “The Last Time”, “Everything Has Changed”, “The Lucky One” and “Starlight”. This cd is best for those who have liked either “Love Story” or “You Belong With Me” (due to the songs being in a similar musical vein).

Highlighting A Person’s Good Traits?

This dynamic 90s country song of That’s What I Like About You by Tricia Yearwood appears to be a fun melody about some of the qualities that the music narrator enjoys in their lover andor love interest. I have some previous familiarity with the song having heard first heard this song in the 1990s because my late adoptive mother and one of my family members on my late adoptive mother’s side would play the music collection that contained this song.

Fond Memories of Someone?

Past The Point of Rescue by Hal Ketchum is an early 90s country music song that appears to be about the music narrator remembering someone in his life who had a significant influence in their heart and soul on why they are thinking of the person. I am a little previously familiar with this song because my late adoptive mother was a fanatic of country music who frequently listened to country music on the radio during the 90s and this happened to be one of the songs that would play on the radio a healthy amount of times when I was a teenager.

Good Mix of Sweetness and Cinnamon Flavor

This 9 ounce canister of Maxwell House Café Vienna has a subtle sweet blend of espresso[SC1] and cinnamon taste. My mother in law recently bought a Vienna Café blend cannister and this café style beverage mix blended well with a spiced chai latte blend that my husband ordered from amazon.

Less than 50 hours ago, my husband and I agreed to obtain food for pickup from the Grace O Malley’s Irish Pub & Restaurant on Granby street in Norfolk Virginia for a celebration meal of the 17 year wedding anniversary of my husband and I. I had seen the reference spotted on the Norfolk Virginia restaurant week website and my husband expressed a preference in trying food from the place.  My husband picked up the food inside the restaurant. He felt that the food order pickup experience was fine. Luckily we both enjoyed our food, my husband selected the shepherd’s pie (comes with minced lamb peas carrots onions mashed potatoes etc.) with bread pudding and icecream for dessert. I selected the salmon blt except with strawberry spinach salad and the bread pudding with ice cream dessert.  With humble and grateful intent I am happy to share that I easily paid for the meal with money made from my most recent place of employment.

Less than 3 weeks ago, my sweet husband insisted on us trying this Jose Tequilas place on little creek road in Norfolk virginia via Grubhub and I willingly agreed because my husband also paid for the meal. The food items ordered include: Carne Asada street tacos, queso fundido, chimichangas and the Jose Tequilas happy sampler which includes wings quesadillas taquitos elotes. The pros: the food was delivered in a timely manner by the driver and the order included a generous amount of food. However, both my husband and I agreed that the food was just ok the queso could have had more seasonings and been made thicker some of the stuff I chose to eat from the happy sampler tasted different from what I expected however the carne asada tacos were at least palpable/edible (my husband had the chimichangas).

Colorful Documentary on The Bluebird Cafe

I confess that less than 29 hours ago I spotted an actual bluebird outside of the apartment where my husband and I currently live which is far from an everyday occurrence for me. I did an online search about films related to bluebirds and somehow I came across the reference and mention of this Bluebird documentary about a popular music club in Nashville. I admit that I was sold when I saw references online of some of the people who were going to be included in it. Fortunately the music documentary was more fun to watch than I expected. Multiple musician and songwriter interviews are featured, including the origins of how the club came to be,  snippets of music performances from various musicians, some of the multiple factors that contributed to how the Bluebird came to be a bustling tourist destination, references of the one of the televisions shows that was indirectly influenced by the Bluebird music club including a state replica of the Bluebird club itself used for the tv show, interviews with some of the men and women affiliated with that particular television show, an interview with one of the previous owners and employees of the Bluebird café club in Nashville, and more. I am well aware that I am very much outside the target audience for this Bluebird music documentary pertaining to the popular music club in Nashville Tennessee even with the fact that my late adoptive mother was a fanatic of country music. Still, this Bluebird Café documentary is interesting to watch regardless if you are an eclectic music listener andor a fanatic of just one music genre for multiple reasons one of the reasons pertaining to this documentary featuring both well known musicians and musicians from various walks of life in addition to some of the various visitors to the Bluebird Café mentioned.

The following is my previous Amazon review from March 14, 2020 of Careers For Writers And Others Who Have A Way With Words by Robert Bly

Prolific Writing Related Ideas

March 14, 2020

I admit that Amazon’s online algorithm recommendations gave me an idea to eventually check out this kindlebook that is Careers For Writers & Others Who Have A Way With Words by Robert W. Bly because one of his other books was recommended to me via the Amazon recommendations platform though I decided to follow my creative intuition to purchase this kindlebook with money made from my current job.

Writer’s Digest Kindle Version

I admit that I took a chance on getting the kindle version of Writer’s Digest for multiple reasons, one reason relating to obtaining the kindle version as a warm-up to eventually obtaining the print version. The current kindle Writer’s Digest issue, at this time of writing of Writer’s Digest includes: an interview with an author who has written historical fiction, an article pertaining to seven pillars of freelance writing, an article pertaining to authors, publishers and the selling of foreign rights to international publishers, an article on how one book travels across various cultures, a column feature where readers are welcomed to write an opening line to a story based on one of the photo prompts, and more.

Empowering Celestial Spirit Guide Book

I fortunately obtained the chance to pre-order this kindlebook Ask Your Guides: Calling In Your Divine Support System For Help With Everything In Life by Sonia Choquette via Amazon by the October 9, 2020 timeframe even with my logical awareness of how lucky/blessed I am in multiple areas of my life for various reasons one reason I have experienced the good luck of experiencing certain miracles in my life just by at times focusing some of my attention and study on celestial spirit guides and I keep a receptive mind to writings that help increase my awareness of this area even further. The author’s early childhood and youth experiences with celestial spirit guides including how her mother was a happy influence with this area, how spirit guides factored into some of the author’s and one of her daughter’s goals with their life living abroad, the author explains the purpose of her work with  Ask Your Guides, how and why Ask Your Guides is grouped into six sections, some of the reasons why the author wants a reader to tap into and become more focused and aware of their own spirit,  the author shares some ideas for expressing one’s spirit, frequently asked questions about spirit guides, and more.

Various Writers Interviewed

I actually purchased this kindlebook Screenwriters on Screenwriting: The Best In The Business Discuss Their Craft by Joel Engel (with a foreword by Robert Towne) a long time ago via amazon by the October 19, 2019 timeframe with money made from university employment for multiple reasons (one of the reasons was pertaining to ideas I can keep in mind to improve both my offline and online writing). Various interviews from various screenwriters/writers are featured and insights that include: one of the screenwriters affiliated with the Ghost film and how watching Hamlet indirectly inspired him for his writing work with the Ghost film, an interview with an author credited for writing one of the adaptations for The Sound of Music film, the author interviews a writer credited for the Mystic Pizza film and other films, and more.

The following is my previous Amazon review from July 4, 2011 of the music collection American Anthems

“High-Spirited Music Collection”

July 4, 2011

“American Anthems” is a fantastic set of eclectic musical hits compiled on three cds. Many of these songs have a happy summer theme and can be played at various parties, picnics, and/or barbecues. This collection is very well put together and contains many soft rock, classic rock, country, and pop classics. I understand that others reading this may have their own personal favorites. There is something for many people contained in “American Anthems” because there are 60 musical tracks. However, I have decided to list some of my personal favorite songs to assist in deciding if “American Anthems” is for you:

From Cd One:

“Don’t Stop Believin” by Journey

“I Want to Know What Love Is” by Foreigner

“Amazed” by Lonestar

“Sunny Came Home” by Shawn Colvin

From Cd Two:

“Is This Love” by Whitesnake

“Heaven Is A Place On Earth” by Belinda Carlisle

“Drops of Jupiter” by Train

“Take My Breath Away” by Berlin

From Cd Three:

“Eye of the Tiger” by Survivor

“Wherever You Will Go” by The Calling

“We Built This City” by Starship

“The Way It Is” by Bruce Hornsby

“American Anthems” is a fantastic compilation to get if you are an eclectic music lover who enjoys classic rock, pop, and/or rock music that you can play at home and/or out in the public arena.

The following is my previous Amazon review from July 28, 2018 of the Mighty Rearranger music collection by Robert Plant

A Strong Fusion of Electronic Rock Folk Music

July 28, 2018

This music collection that is The Mighty Rearranger by Robert Plant and the Strange Sensation has a blend/mix of hard rock, folk rock, and electronic tunes. I admit that I also like that a song such as Shine It All Around was presented in a folk rock/alternative rock version and then there is the Girls Remix of Shine It All Around has elements of electronic music. Of course there are other mesmerizing songs in this collection such as The Enchanter, All The King’s Horses, Dancing In Heaven and more.

Classic Rock Love Song

Is This Love by Whitesnake is a dynamic classic rock love song that I am glad to have first heard around the time I was between 7 to 9 years old (either from radio andor television). Is This Love appears to be about the music narrator gauging the potential love connection that they have with another person.

Bold Classic Rock Song

This lively rock song Say You Will by Foreigner is a bold classic rock love song that I first heard around autumn 2009 after listening to and seeing a music collection by this group (I just wish I could remember if the collection was from what I had seen featured in a public library, the radio, andor the apple music player I had at the time). The vocals mix well with the energetic music.

The following is my previous Amazon review from January 25, 2019 of the song Superposition by Young The Giant

Thrilling Even With The Caveat

January 25, 2019

 As an eclectic music listener who enjoys love songs, I admit to taking a liking to this distinctive indie rock song that is Superposition by Young The Giant after hearing it enough times on local rock radio. I respectfully disagree with part of the message of some part of the lyrics of this song (because I do believe in psychic/intuitive visions and some parts of life being fate while some parts of life a person does have full control over). However, this viewpoint is independent of me also feeling that the expressive vocals and beaming music create a blissful creation of an indie rock song that is Superposition by Young The Giant.

The following is my previous amazon review from June 5, 2019 of the song State Of My Head by Shinedown

Alternative Rock Song of Empowerment

June 5, 2019

I am fortunate to have first heard this valorous song that is State of My Head by Shinedown around the early 2016 timeframe. One of the reasons why this song appealed to me and still does today is because of the empowering energy of self confidence and bravery that is connected to this song. Additionally, less than 2 years ago, this song unexpectedly played in one of my sleeptime dream and I saw a strange image of someone I met from 2016 who seemed self confident from what I had seen of them in real life and certain imagery was connected to them that symbolized someone who enjoys watching rodeos involving bullfighters (in real life andor television). I admit that I am still in the process of coming even remotely close to having the type of courage that would involve even watching a rodeo in real life yet I have always took this song to help remind me to find andor increase my courage regardless of how often I have to dust myself and/or pick myself back up from daring to try something to build my self confidence and/or go after either some of my personal andor professional goals.

The following is my previous Amazon review of Hysteria by Def Leppard from August 25, 2019

Dreamy Classic Rock Song

August 25, 2019

Luckily, I actually credit hearing this thrilling Hysteria song by Def Leppard via a local metropolitan Washington D.C. radio station less than 8 months ago. The classic rock music and the brilliant lyrics seem to be about some type of love song with the main character of the song approaching someone with a self confident vibe.

The following is my previous Amazon review of Upside Down by Diana Ross from March 21, 2018

Spellbinding Song by Diana Ross

March 21, 2018

I would have to admit that local radio around early 2015 introduced me to this fascinating soap opera of a song that is Upside Down by Diana Ross. I say soap opera because this classic yet dramatic song appears to be about a woman with a heart of gold in love with someone she knows is a womanizer/ a player with the obvious lyrics referencing her lover playing the field. However, from an open minded writer’s perspective,this one of a kind early 80s club song is creative pickings for a rollercoaster type of love story inspired by the type of character that Dianne Ross sings with passionate vocals in this Upside Down song.

The following is my previous Amazon review from December 8, 2018 of the song I Was Made For Lovin You by Kiss

Entertaining Classic Rock Love Song

December 8, 2018

I admit that I truthfully and unexpectedly discovered this catchy classic rock song that is I Was Made For Lovin You by Kiss via local Washington D.C. radio. The guitar riffs and lyrics are bold and yet also are fun to listen to.

The following is my previous Amazon review from May 1, 2012 of the song Champagne Life by Neyo

The Good Life

May 1, 2012

“Champagne Life” by Neyo is an upbeat song about living an excellent quality of life with the addition of close loved ones. Neyo lends brilliant vocals to the song and conveys a message of following personal dreams. “Champagne Life” by Neyo is great for those who enjoy cheerful songs to add to a happy playlist and/or musical tracks that imbue a celebration vibe (to play at a party and/or another event to mark a positive occasion).

The following is my previous Amazon review from January 3, 2016 of You Make Me Feel by Annagrace

Appealing Club Dance Song

January 3, 2016

You Make Me Feel by Annagrace is an elated type of melody where the singer admits to her romantic interest that they are her obsession. I admit that I’m uncertain how that would work out in real-life to tell someone that they are your romantic obsession, unless you know for sure that they are mutually attracted to you. Nonetheless, for harm-free intent, You Make Me Feel By Annagrace is a thrilling club/dance record. I admit that I first heard this song through the Pride radio station of iheartradio.

The following is my previous amazon review from January 13, 2011 of Rock You Like A Hurricane by the Scorpions

A Great Rock Song

January 13, 2011

I too agree that this song is definitely a classic. This song is basically about someone who is planning on giving a very memorable experience related to  (hence the term rock you like a hurricane). However,the lyrics are done in a very original and coherent manner, and the guitar riffs blend well with the song’s lyrics. The video to this song is very edgy and seems to show some self-confident women who are ready to face whatever awaits them. Cages are used in the video for what appears to metaphorically symbolize the women being set free to be as wild as they want. This is a very energetic rock song to listen to at either parties or when you want to listen to something to increase your energy levels.

The following is my previous Amazon review of Footsteps by Pop Evil from October 7, 2015

Heard on Rock Nation Channel from Iheartradio

October 7, 2015

Footsteps by Pop Evil seems to actually be a robust hard rock song about turning over a new leaf in life and going higher in life (i.e. aiming for better in one’s life). This song seems to be a powerful song about tenacity and persistence even in the face of roadblocks and adversity. I admit that I had a sense that I sensed that Footsteps by Pop Evil had an optimistic slant to it, yet I confess that I had to ask my husband to listen to the song as well to confirm what I sense is an auspicious vibe from Footsteps by Pop Evil.

The following is my previous Amazon review from April 10, 2016 of the song Control by Puddle of Mudd

An Edgy 2000s Era Rock Song

April 10, 2016

Control by Puddle of Mudd is a daring alternative rock song that I remember first hearing through local radio around my mid to early 20’s. This song appears to be about to be about a man who is in a relationship with an edgy/dangerous woman who pushes his buttons but is a good lover. From a writer’s standpoint, I’m guessing this from the lyrics of the singer describing to the muse of the song how they (the lover) makes him feel.

Author’s Intuition In Her Own Life

I admit that I have experienced certain spiritual signs and blessings in various areas of my life which indirectly influenced my interest in obtaining this kindlebook around the July 17, 2018 timeframe via amazon from money made via university employment. Some of the writings detailed in Intuition Magic by Linda Keen: the author’s experiences interacting with some of her musician friends while also taking intuition classes, a section pertaining to developing perceptive imagination, a helpful section on visualization and transformation, changing a picture, what the author is communicating with the message of tuning up one’s abundance machine, the inner teacher, and more.

Higher Realm Book

I confess that the good fortune of experiencing some unexpected miracles in multiple areas of my life was one of the multiple reasons that indirectly influenced my interest in this kindlebook The Channel’s Companion: A Guide For Connecting With The Higher Realms by Amanda Guggenheimer which contains among the following: some ideas on why going outside in nature helps a person’s spiritual vibration and why the greatest signs sometimes occur in nature, preparing to channel, channeling and the role of dimensions, some things to keep in mind if called to channel for other people, asking questions and receiving direct communication, various terms for instance the higher self and incarnation team level, and more.

Insightful and Encouraging Intuition Book

I admit that good luck indirectly influenced my interest in this kindlebook. I confess that I actually have had this kindlebook The Intuitive Path: The Seeker’s Guide to Spiritual Intuition by Sara Wiseman since purchasing it via amazon around March 2018 with money made from university employment. Some of the content featured in The Intuitive Path by Sara Wiseman: a section on signs synchronicities & strands, the author’s discussion of Spirit Guides & Angels including her references to how they relate in her Writing the Divine work, a section pertaining to more spirit guides & angels, a section on advanced guides & angels and helpful guidance as to why it can be beneficial to be discreet about some of even the most helpful information coming from your spirit guides and guardian angels, mediumship connecting with the departed section, a healing relationships section, healing relationships beyond time, karmic healing, attracting love section, energy healing, and more.

Strength In Numbers Type of Film

I admit that I have to credit a combination of factors that indirectly influenced my interest in recently watching this film Captain America Civil War (plus bonus features). One factor is that my husband indirectly got me interested in watching the marvel films over 12 years ago (2008) when he convinced me to see the Iron Man film in theaters (we had seen it together at a movie theater here in Norfolk Virginia). The second factor I recently had a strange unusual sleeptime dream where I saw the actor Robert Downey Jr. surrounded by what appeared to be his work/career entourage involving a happy event though the details are far from certain if I was actually watching him through a tv screen or an actual building. Sometime after this sleeptime dream, I politely suggested a certain film with my husband who recommended Disney Plus and we mutually agreed to see this film Captain America Civil War (plus bonus features) together before I also obtained it here through amazon for future unlimited viewings. The early beginnings of the Captain America Civil War film introduces the character of “Bucky Barnes Winter Soldier” (Sebastian Stan) which also eventually paves the way for one of the multiple reasons why multiple other characters become involved in either direct andor indirect ways in events involving the “Bucky Barnes Winter Soldier character”: Captain America (Chris Evans), Tony Stark Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), Natasha Romanoff Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), Falcon character (Anthony Mackie), James Rhodes War Machine (Don Cheadle), Clint Barton Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner), TChalla Black Panther (Chad Boseman), Vision (Paul Bettany), Wanda Maximoff Scarlett Witch (Elizabeth Olsen), Scott Lang Ant-Man (Paul Rudd), Peter Park Spider Man (Tom Holland), Helmut Zemo (Daniel Bruhl), Sharon Carter (Van Camp), Brock Rumlow/Crossbones (Frank Grillo), Thaddeus Ross (William Hurt), cameo appearances of John Slattery Hope Davis, Alfre Woodard, John Kani, Martin Freeman, Marisa Tomei Martin Freeman Stan Lee Kerry Condon etc. are also among the multiple actors/actresses featured in Captain America Civil War The film either shows andor references the following places in relation to the plot sequences of Captain America Civil War andor connections with some of the characters: Lagos Nigeria, Vienna Austria, Wakanda, Bucharest Romania, Queens New York, Brooklyn. I did enjoy that a back story was given as to why the antagonist was determined to seek revenge instead of completing forgiving although my only caveat to the film is that I do feel that sometimes people can improve personality wise over time as they evolve to live longer compared to how they might have thought andor acted in their younger years and if this film is ever remade/rebooted again andor more prequels made pertaining to Captain America Civil War it would be interesting to see if any redemption elements are included even more extensively. On a positive note, there were at least some redemptive elements touched upon by certain characters in the film. Aside from the caveat, Captain America Civil War was a much better film than I anticipated and fortunately my husband also enjoyed watching the film. There are some scenes after the conclusion of the film that give hints into other films and the credit of Captain America Civil War being directed by Joe Russo and Anthony Russo.

Camera Photography Ideas

I admit that I was indirectly influenced to eventually look into this kindlebook DSLR Photography For Beginners by Brian Black less than 8 weeks ago when I discovered some online messages related to one of my online photo accounts that storage changes are going to be made by a particular timeframe as to how photos are stored and I was preferring to look into multiple options and ideas for further knowledge and application pertaining to both archiving, taking, andor storing photos for both present and future memories. Some of the details included in this kindlebook: shutter speed references involving pictures of two different fast trains, specialized lenses and buying lenses, a photo taken with wide angle lens, a rose photo taken using multiple focal points, downloading and storing photos, and more.

The following is my previous Amazon review from June 21, 2016 of One Call Away by Charlie Puth

Ballad of Enduring Friendship Andor Other Types of Relationship

June 21, 2016

This song One Call Away by Charlie Puth channels the positive energy vibe of being there for someone even during their challenging times of life. I enjoy the One Call Away title because it symbolizes being reachable to someone in order to provide a feeling to someone that they do not need to feel alone. The One Call Away by Charlie Puth could be characterized as upbeat pop.

The following is my previous Amazon review from May 27, 2018 of Bad Medicine by Bon Jovi

May 27, 2018

Bad Medicine by Bon Jovi

This song Bad Medicine by Bon Jovi seems to be a high energy classic rock song about wanting someone who is therapeutic in a person’s life despite the controversy they might bring-hence the bad medicine connotation.

The following is my previous Amazon review from March 20, 2017 of I Think We’re Alone Now by Tiffany

Delightful 80s Pop/Dance Tune

March 20, 2017

I admit that this song I Think We’re Alone Now by Tiffany played in one of my sleeptime dreams less than 18 hours ago. However, I remember also first enjoying this pop song when I was 7 years old (around the time I also got into Heaven On Earth by Belinda Carlisle) and I had even bought a cassette tape of Tiffany’s music around the time I was between 15-17 years old. Anyhow, I like this song I Think We’re Alone Now by Tiffany because of the light-hearted and summer like vibe of this song that is an elegant blend of an 80’s pop/dance mashup.

The following is my previous Amazon review from June 26, 2014 of Just Dance The Biggest Club Tracks and Remixes

Summer 2009 Dance Collection

June 26, 2014

I purchased this compilation of Just Dance: The Biggest Club Tracks and Remixes on January 30, 2010 from Amazon Germany (while I was still living in Orlando, Florida). Many of these exciting songs bring me back to when I was hearing their music variations on their radio still in the military and when I was living in Orlando Florida around and after the time voluntarily left the military and was honorably discharged (living in Mayport Florida from Feb. 2005-Feb. 2008,during my time of living in Norfolk Virginia from Feb 2008-April 2009, and living in Orlando Florida from April 2009 until May 2010). I mean only respect to even the artists that are not listed from this collection. However, I have to admit that these are some of my favorite songs from Just Dance: The Biggest Club Tracks and Remixes

Just Dance by Lady Gaga (remix with Kardinal Offishall), I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho)- by Pitbull (More Englist Extended version), Mercy by Duffy (Hott 22 Vocal Remix), Touch My Body by Mariah Carey, Feel Your Love by Kim Sozzi, Evacuate The Dancefloor by Cascada, All I Ever Wanted by Basshunter, Give It To Me by Timbaland feat. Nelly Furtado & Justin Timberlake, Promiscuous by Nelly Furtado feat. Timbaland, Right Round by Flo Rida feat. Kesha, Let It Rock by Kevin Rudolf, For An Angel by Paul Van Dyk, and Lovegame by Lady Gaga.

There are many more interesting music variation of these club/electronic songs on this two disc set that has 18 songs on disc 1 and 18 songs on disc 2.

My husband enjoys eating Asian food from time to time and I fortunately recently convinced him to try Ya Ya Asian Gourmet House in Norfolk Virginia via grubhub. We both found the food appetizing and received our food in an excellent delivery timeframe. We shared an appetizer sampler which comes with Rangoon, shumai, spring roll, and chicken skewers. My husband tried the house special pancit which comes with chicken pork and shrimp while I chose the shrimp pancit. I’m thankful to say my husband paid for our food.

My husband and I recently had pizza delivered from Marcos Pizza in Norfolk Virginia less than a week ago and we agreed to order 2 large pizzas which we both found tasty fed us for two days. The pizzas we got were the works (comes with mushrooms pepperoni sausage green peppers onions etc.) and the cheezy pizza (which comes with bacon onions tomatoes garlic parmesan sauce feta and 3 cheeses). Our pizzas came in a timely manner.

Recently, my husband and I tried some pizza from The Pizzeria in Norfolk Virginia one of the pizzas was a large pizza with sweet sausage Italian sausage and banana peppers with a second large pizza having olives pepperoni and onions which tasted good. This pizza was fortunately delivered quickly. 

January 1 2021 Controversial Reviews in Norfolk Virginia strictly for WordPress

January 1 2021 Controversial Reviews in Norfolk Virginia strictly for WordPress

I intend to start a section titled controversial reviews to go in wordpress for both present and future reference to earmark books that may have either controversial sounding titles andor controversy affiliated with the title a some way though they are also books that I feel intuitively and logically guided to share regardless of perceptions that may occur, however I am also following my intuition  intent to  add future controversial book review additions updates discreetly to this wordpress section for both present and future reference. I strive to keep an open mind to points of view from men, women, and children of different backgrounds from my own and please feel free to comment andor share your views with me online andor offline even if different from my own as long as they are expressed with the intent to share andor inform and name call free please.  I am  a former foster child and later adopted into a trans-racial family in the Midwest by around 1994 (my late adoptive parents were both American born with my late adoptive father having been a 2nd generation Mexican American and Aztec Indian American born male and my late adoptive mother being a non-Hispanic Caucasian women with partial Cherokee Indian ancestry my younger siblings having various racial ancestries and my older adoptive siblings all being non Hispanic Caucasian from my late adoptive mother’s side).  I myself am also an American born woman raised in the Midwest of partial Puerto Rican and partial Menominee Indian (native American ancestry) both my late biological mother and late maternal grandmother were enrolled on the Menominee Indian tribal rolls.  I have a potential rumored father however it is far from certain if he is my father because of the lifestyle that my late biological mother lived which influences why both I and my younger siblings look different from each other and is another story for another time. The controversial truth was that my late biological mother who also had Puerto Rican and Menominee Indian ancestry was a prostitute and I found out around the age of 32 that she continued to live this lifestyle even well after I was born. It is far from my place andor intent to judge even as the rumored father offered over the phone to take a paternity test with me to confirm if he was in fact the father (this occurred around the late 2012 andor early 2013 timeframe over the phone when he offered) However I wish that I would have taken him up on his offer because by late 2013 when I realized I should have taken my rumored biological father up on the offer he went ghost on me when I tried to contact him by late 2013 andor early 2014 to confirm paternity for the purposes of confirming my complete racial ancestries.  I am admitting this too not for reasons to seek sympathy rather to admit why I avoid discussing what racial ancestries I could be from my father’s side because due to my late biological mother’s far from legal lifestyle of her interactions with various men/males for where she lived during her earth lifetime from the years October 31 1964 to early 2003,  it is far from sure/certain who my biological father is, however I am at least lucky to have had an adoptive father who adopted me and my younger siblings as his children by the mid 1990s.    Because of how I was raised prior to the age of 19 I keep an open mind both to men women and children from immigrant backgrounds and those who are also American born.  I was in the United States Navy from June 14, 2000 until May 24, 2009 when I received an honorable discharge and a preferred re-enlistment re-entry code.  I met my husband back in 2002 when we both were stationed in Yokosuka Japan through the United States Navy. My husband is  an American citizen  with partial Spanish and Austrian ancestries. My husband and I  have also enjoyed the places of California, Florida and Virginia together with our most recent place of residence being Maryland before I permanently moved here to Norfolk Virginia September 2020 and fortunately my husband joined me December 18, 2020.  Please know I say these details both with humble intent and free of the intent to seek sympathy rather I am humbly admitting that I still have much to learn when it comes to studying racial histories, spiritual and religious legacies and other books that are completely outside my background where I am the intended audience and I am obviously receptive to being taught more wisdom and history both for knowledge and application to help increase my understanding and awareness even further, With that said the following is my first review:

This kindlebook Prophetic Protocols & Ethics by Jennifer LeClaire has some interesting concepts pertaining to the author’s ideas on what a reader can keep in mind regarding her ideas on prophecy. Some ideas involving it is ok to be aware of timing when sharing certain messages and aim to be considerate of intimate details of a person’s personal life even when unexpectedly being shown more than you originally expected to see which I take to symbolize avoid publicly referencing a person’s personal andor professional life in a way that you yourself would want to be discreet about if you were in that person’s shoes metaphorically speaking .

The second book review involves the kindlebook Why Should All The White Guys Have All The Fun: How Reginald Lewis Created A Billion Dollar Business Empire by Reginald F Lewis & Blair S Walker which I admit that I actually purchased this kindlebook on February 25,2020 via Amazon with money made from university employment.  This type of kindlebook actually has multiple insights for readers of various backgrounds because information is shared on how Reginald Lewis transformed various challenges into beneficial opportunities to achieve vast wealth and a golden midas touch in his career and money life. Details are obviously additionally included pertaining to his personal life and family life
