Culinary Travels Across….
Season 26 of Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives (hosted by Guy Fieri) features Guy Fieri going to multiple parts of the United States and outside the U.S. during Season 26. For instance, episode 5 Carnivore Creations features Guy Fieri sampling the food and visiting some of the following places: Trotters & Tails in Portland Oregon, Mama’s Mustard Pickles & BBQ in Louisville Kentucky and The Jersey Girl Café in Hamilton Square New Jersey. In Episode 7 of A Sampling of Spain Guy Fieri tries a dish from a place in Spain where one of the most popular food dishes contains squid ink and another place in Spain where a family leads a business popular in the area (a man his wife their sons daughter in law etc.). My husband watched episode 7 with me and it was fascinating to me to hear his take on different parts of the episode and explaining his views on some of the different scenes in Spain featured on Season 26 episode 7 to me (my husband is part Spanish and I admit that I am still fortunately learning -even after 17 years married to him- and picking up additional insights and information to further understand my amazing husband which I unexpectedly did watching episode 7 with my hubby). Season 26 is ideal for a viewer to watch if they are receptive to watching episodes that are set both within the United States and outside the continental United Sates.
Themes of Awakening
I fortunately obtained the chance to purchase this kindlebook Waking From Sleep; Why Awakening Experiences Occur and How To Make Them Permanent by Steve Taylor by June 10 2021 via Amazon. There are a multiple number of encouraging insights in Waking From Sleep to include: the varieties of awakening experience, spontaneous awakening experiences and what meditation has to do with the theme of the author’s message, music and other art forms, how the reference and information to sports andor athletic activity in this kindlebook connects to Waking From Sleep message, some of the ways on how challenges andor tests in one’s spiritual life can actually be channeled towards positive catalysts towards awakening, what detachment has to do with awakening, and more.
A Wizard Takes An Egg One Day And
I admit that I unexpectedly found this film Mini Witch via Amazon Prime Video after searching for something else. The film deals with a young magical witch who is raised by a family like figure who places her in an environment to be trained with other witches and a powerful witch who leads a school teaching young budding witches. The setting of the woods in Mini Witch indirectly relates to why some of the protagonists and antagonists of the film are going to be the way they are, and more.
The following is my previous Amazon review from August 17, 2016 of Nothing But The Beat 2.0 by David Guetta
Dynamic Party Music
August 17, 2016
I’m so glad that this compilation of Nothing But The Beat 2.0 by David Guetta is available from Amazon Prime because I purchased Nothing But The Beat back in 2011 and was thrilled to hear some great music additions to this collection as part of my Amazon prime membership. If you like various songs from the 2011 version of Nothing But The Beat such as Little Bad Girl feat. Taio Cruz & Ludacris, Turn Me On feat. Nicki Minaj, I Can Only Imagine (feat. Lil Wayne, Chris Brown), Crank It Up feat. Akon, Titanium feat. Sia etc. then you may also like Nothing But The Beat 2.0. This is because Nothing But The Beat 2.0 has upbeat club hits in the same musically energetic spirit as the 2011 version with such songs as Play Hard (feat. Neyo & Akon), Every Chance We Get We Run (feat. Tegan & Sara), Metropolis feat. Nicky Romero etc.
The following is my previous Amazon review from September 11, 2011 of Nothing But The Beat by David Guetta
Daring And Experimental Beats
September 11, 2011
“Nothing But the Beat” by David Guetta is a very exciting and happy cd that has dance, pop, and electronica music tones in many of the musical tracks. What I enjoy the most about this cd is that David Guetta has the courage in pushing the musical envelope with the musical tracks and the artists that he chose to collaborate with. For example he teams up with Snoop Dogg for the daring club track of “Sweat”. He does the very risqué and catchy “Little Bad Girl” with Taio Cruz and Ludacrais. The musical track that is “Lunar” (with Afrojack) is also very good and unique. However, my personal top three favorite tracks are “Night of Your Life” (with Jennifer Hudson), “Titanium” (with Sia), and “Turn Me On” (featuring Nicki Minaj). “Night of Your Life” is a provocative musical track about someone mentioning how they intend to give a memorable night to their date as long as they are treated right. “Titanium” is a fantastic musical gem about being emotionally strong (a.k.a psychologically bulletproof) even in the face of whatever judgement and/or treatment is projected outward. My overall favorite song is “Turn Me On” (featuring Nicki MinaJ). “Turn Me On” is an intense musical track about wanting to spend time with a crush and/or romantic interest. “Nothing But the Beat” by David Guetta is a great cd for anyone that enjoys an eclectic range of music that contains a creative combination of electronica, dance, and pop music.
The following is my previous Amazon review from August 8, 2011 of Future Trance 56
Continuation of Exciting Trance/Dance Music
August 8, 2011
“Future Trance 56” is one of the more recent well assembled collections in the Future Trance series. I enjoy listening to “Future Trance 56” because it contains fantastic futuristic dance tracks as the other modern Future Trance collections. “Future Trance 56” contains a variety of 43 songs (22 on Disc One and 21 on Disc Two). My two favorite songs in “Future Trance 56” are “Excited” and “Mr. Saxobeat”. “Excited” is an upbeat dance tune about a person who invokes strong feelings of intensity in someone. “Mr. Saxobeat” appears to be a musical track about a man who brings elements of fun and adventure in a person’s world. “Future Trance” 56 is good to obtain for anyone who craves listening to a crafty collection of electronica songs with themes of love, happiness, and making the most of life.
The following is my previous Amazon review from April 11, 2016 of The Distance by Cake
One Of My Husband’s Favorite 90s Alternative Rock Song
April 11, 2016
I first heard The Distance by Cake around what was either my freshman or sophomore year in high school via local radio. Imagine my pleasant surprise when I noticed (after meeting my husband around 6-8 years later) that he enjoys this song (my husband had previously purchased the Fashion Nugget cd by Cake before I figured out he liked The Distance). The Distance song by Cake gives the song imagery of race car driving and about a character who is so dedicated to his intensity for race car driving to where the interest at times encroaches on his personal life. I understand that this 90’s rock classic could mean something else, it was just that I felt the need to guess as I write this before I eventually turn to the songfacts and/or songmeanings website to analyze the tune’s meaning.
The following is my previous Amazon review from March 21, 2018 Tip Toe by Jason Derulo feat. French Montana
Feisty Type of Club Song
March 21, 2018
This song Tip Toe by Jason Derulo feat. French Montana is a very shocking yet catchy song that alludes from the title of appearing to be seduced by the way a woman moves andor her beauty (again just guessing). I admit that I was simply figuring out and guessing from some of what I saw in the racy video for the Tip Toe song.
Vocals And Music Are….
This tragic yet deep 80s song that is Make It Real by the Jets unexpectedly played on my mind during one of my long walking sessions for some reason (even though it has been several years since I last heard this song on the radio why some of my long walking sessions stimulate my memory of some nostalgic songs is something even beyond my current logic andor intuitive understanding). Despite the melancholy of this opposite of joyful song the singing is phenomenal and the music fits perfectly with the song. For those listening to this 80s song for the first time the ending appears open-ended on what becomes of the music narrator andor the muse that the music narrator is singing about.
Today, my husband and I mutually agreed to try Philadelphia Hoagie Factory in Norfolk Virginia. The employee handing our order was polite and my husband chose the Broad Street Bully ( with 12 inch hoagie roll light mayo salt black pepper oil vinegar lettuce tomato onion pepper side of hot pepper) while I chose the Triple Threat Hoagie (spicy mustard oil vinegar salt black pepper tomato onion mushroom). The Triple Threat sandwich tasted good and I had some leftover to try for tomorrow. My husband enjoyed the fried mushrooms.

Adventure For The Mind
A Wrinkle In Time (plus bonus content) features certain plot elements of how Dr. Kate Murry (Gugu Mbatha Raw), Dr. Alexander Murry (Chris Pine), Charles Wallace Murry (Derec McCabe) and Meg Murry (Storm Reid) are a very close family. However mysterious circumstances involving Dr. Alexander Murry shake up the foundation of his wife Dr. Kate Murry and children Meg Murry and Charles Murry. It is far from easy for Meg Murry to take comfort in school because of the taunting she endures with her classmate Veronica Kiley (Rowan Blanchard) being one of the ringleaders. Life begins to suddenly change for Meg Murry and her brother Charles Murry when they meet Mrs. Whatsit (Reese Witherspoon), Mrs. Which (Oprah Winfrey) and Mrs. Who (Mindy Kaling) through mysterious circumstances. In addition to the dynamics between Meg Murry and her younger brother Charles Murry, Calvin Okeefe (Levi Miller) comes into Meg Murry’s life and the film shows what this has to do with the journey that Meg Murry, Charles Murry, and Calvin Okeefe take together involving Meg Murry and Charles Murry’s father helped along by Mrs. Whatsit, Mrs Which and Mrs. Who. Zach Galifianakis, Conrad Roberts, Daniel McPherson, Will McCormick, Yvette Cason, Bellamy Young, Andre Holland, David Oyelowo, and Michael Pena are some of the other multiple actors/actresses of the film.
Fun and Games
Guy’s Grocery Games Season 2 opens with the feature of various women being introduced for the competition and they are tasked with making dishes that are inspired by their kids/children. A family member connected to Guy Fieri features in the competition. This show is ideal for those who are receptive to watching tv shows that combine grocery and cooking contest themes simultaneously.
Good Mix of Three Fruits Flavor
This 4 pack of GoGo Squeez Happy Tummiez apple banana strawberry 3.2 oz pouches (4 pack) have the ideal mix of pleasantly sweet apple banana and strawberry taste. I enjoy that this snack has also a hybrid texture flavor of a smoothie and applesauce mixed together. I feel that the taste is enhanced when the pouches are refrigerated, however these pouches also still taste good at room temperature.
Less than 7 hours ago, I recently went to this GNC (general nutrition center) store in Norfolk Virginia (Wards corner neighborhood). The person I interacted with was lively and showed care in some of the questions I asked regarding some of what I had seen. I had purchased three 16 oz energy drinks (Warheads brand sour watermelon, Beyond Raw Lit Green Apple Jolly Rancher flavor energy drink, and Beyond Raw Lit Blue Raspberry flavored jolly rancher energy drink). I have tried some of the sour watermelon which tasted good and I intend to try the other drinks sometime this weekend.
Less than 8 hours ago, I recently went to this Virginia ABC store (in the Wards Corner neighborhood of Norfolk Virginia) and I was helped by someone friendly and cheerful. I decided to take a chance on purchasing three small 200 milliliter bottles (chi chis brand pineapple margarita, Jose Cuervo strawberry lime margarita, and Jose Cuervo Watermelon margarita). The three bottles were a good bargain for how each drink tasted (there is still plenty left in each of three bottles, though next time I drink any of them I might mix them with another fruit juice because each of these three bottles packed a powerful punch for them being very small and even with the small amount I consumed).

The following is my previous Amazon review from May 10, 2015 of the Made In Heaven film
Celestial Love Story
May 10, 2015
Made In Heaven is a film starring Kelly McGillis as initially Annie Packert and Timothy Hutton initially as Mike Shea. The character of Mike Shea dies via drowning after attempting to save some people from being trapped in an automobile. Shea was on his way to California before his death and had just been dumped by his girlfriend. Mike Shea dies and is then greeted in heaven by his Aunt Lisa (Maureen Stapleton). His aunt explains to him how heaven works and he soon goes about seeing what heaven is like for himself. He soon meets a spirit named Annie and unexpectedly falls in love with her. Annie ends up reincarnating back on earth just as her and Mike were mapping out their life together in heaven. Anyhow, the spirit of Mike Shea petitions with one of heaven’s guides named Emett (Debra Winger) in order to reincarnate back on earth. The reason being is because he obviously loves Annie dearly and appears to naturally be hesitant to wait the length of another human lifetime just to be with her. There are multiple guest appearances from other celebrities in Made In Heaven As Well (Tom Petty, Ric Ocasek from the Cars, Ellen Barkin, and Neil Young). This film is best for those who like romantic movies with a spiritual slant.
Spiritual/Mystical Side of Ancestor Communication
This Ancestors Finding Your Power With Ancestral Guides book by Patti Wiginton covers a variety of spiritual ancestor communication concepts across multiple cultures across the world, what to do about ancestor spiritual communication if you have been adopted (I feel lucky to have saw that reference because it is going to help me intuitively guess both the previous times my adoptive parents have reached out to me especially in some of my sleeptime dreams and also for both present and future reference) andor were previously adopted, the author touches on the connection between ancestors and celestial spirit guides, and more.
Various Success Books Referenced
I admit that I actually spotted this book 50 Success Classics by Tom Bowdon at a bookstore that is within 5 miles of where my husband and I currently reside. 50 Success Classics features a multiple number of books from various authors and some of the reasons why they were selected. For instance it is discussed on page 98 on why some of the autobiographies were selected, while page 308 features books from writers outside of the continental U.S. and more.
Strength Power In Numbers Law of Attraction
The Family Guide To The Law of Attraction by Mary Petto shares some of the authors victories in her law of attraction journey. For instance, the author discusses how she manifested the money funds for her children to go to a summer camp that at first seemed outside extremely high past the money budget available to pay for the camp, it is explained why gratitude is important, vision boards are discussed, and more.
Joy Boosting Ideas
The Happiness Formula by Alyssa Shafer features a mix of ideas to boost happiness. For instance, page fifty four discusses multiple reasons how volunteering can boost happiness, page 133 discusses how visiting a beach can boost happiness (for readers who are able to and page 135 features happiness benefits to walking etc and more.
Father Son Collaboration Money Book
This book The Money Will Follow:8 Steps You Must Climb To Capitalize On The Opportunities Around You by father son duo Michael Emoff & Doug Emoff shares some of the life journey of the authors through the perspective of their professional/business journeys. There is the introduction and how one of the author entered the family business around twenty three years old and it is discussed the benefits of reaching out to get a mentor and ways of choosing one. The other author discusses how they started their thriving venture. Additionally, one of the authors mentioned how one of their family members who had already passed over indirectly played a key role in how they interpreted a business deal in the aftermath of it occurring, and more.
The following is my previous Amazon music review from June 20, 2015 of the Top Gun Soundtrack
Themes For An Elite Movie
June 20, 2015
Top Gun (Special Expanded Edition) has the classic 80’s songs of Danger Zone by Kenny Loggins and Take My Breath Away by Berlin on this music collection. This collection has a superb collection of diverse songs on the Top Gun soundtrack that also feature other artist such as Otis Redding, Jerry Lewis, The Righteous Brothers, Teena Marie etc. Overall, this Top Gun soundtrack is great for those who like 80’s music and/or enjoy watching the Top Gun movie.
I Noticed It Listed Via The Redbox At My Current Employment
I confess that I decided to take a chance on doing something different with watching a film different from what I normally watch some time after discovering that this film was featured on the current film selection lineup via the redbox at my current place of employment (at the current time of this review writing). This indirectly influenced my decision to roll the die and purchase Freaky via Amazon which features Kathryn Newton (Millie Kessler), Celeste O Connor (one of Millie’s best friends Nyla Chones) Misha Osherovich (Josh Detmer one of Millie’s other best friends), Vince Vaughn (the butcher), Katie Finneran (Coral Kessler Millies mother), Alan Ruck (Mr. Bernardi one of Millie’s teachers), Uriah Shelton (Booker Strode who Millie has a crush on), Dana Drori (Char Kessler Millie’s older sister) etc. The beginning parts of the film open with part of the why and how the Blissfield Butcher acquired their deadly/dangerous reputation and how they came across the mystical weapon called the La Dola. Parts of the Freaky film show the connection that Millie Kessler has with her mom Coral Kessler and her older sister Char Kessler, including some of the reasons why Millie is super close to her best friends Nyla Chones and Josh Detmer. The plot also features why Mr. Bernardi is significant in Millie Kessler’s life. The film was better than I expected it to be my only caveat is that yes it was obvious why the teacher character plays a significant part in Millie’s life however aside from how he acts towards Millie about a certain timeframe he expected of her for a certain project the way Mr. Bernardi acted to warrant a significant focus in Millie’s life could have elicited more sympathy in other ways. For instance Mr. Bernardi is being portrayed the opposite of fair for the deadline however this could have been elevated by having shown him giving a free pass andor being more lenient towards andor another chance to a similar classmate that was in a similar predicament of Millie (for instance both Millie and another classmate having the same timeframe to complete the project though Mr. Bernardi giving a free pass to the other classmate even if secretly). Aside from that caveat, this Freaky horror comedy film was more well put together than I initially expected it to be.
An Exciting Music Tribute
This live version of I Only Wanna Be With You by Volbeat (Live At House of Blues Anaheim 2011) piqued my interest because of my previous enjoyment with one of Volbeat’s creative musical tribute take with another version of this song affiliated with the Dusty Springfield classic. Even if you are a complete novice to this version, this live version of I Only Wanna Be With You by Volebeat is amusing to listen to if you are receptive to listening to hard rock love songs.
Distinctive Pop/Dance Mashup
I enjoy the pop/dance music genre mashup of Fast Car by Taio Cruz. This Fast Car song is performed in an entertaining way to describe having romantic feelings for someone with the metaphors analogies pertaining to a fast car. I have some previous familiarity with this song because I had initially heard this song playing one of the music apps I listen to around the autumn 2016 andor early 2017 timeframe (I just wish that I could remember which radio station within that app that I first heard a feature of this Fast Car song)
The following is my previous Amazon review from August 19, 2018 of the One In A Million song by Aaliyah
A One Of A Kind Love Theme Song
August 19 2018
This song One In A Million by Aaliyah is a 90s era R&B and dance song that is also a brilliant love song. I am guessing that this song is basically a musical story of having extreme romantic andor love type emotions for someone. I actually first heard this song via both local radio and television sometime around mid to late 90s.
The following is my previous Amazon review from December 1, 2017 of Heaven (Myon Remix) by Jes
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.
Brilliant Country Music Classic
This Older Women song by Ronnie McDowell is an amusing music tribute about the music narrator candidly admitting that they do like younger women ( around the 18-25 age range) in similar ways that millions of other people do however to be fair the music narrator also implies in a heartfelt way why he sees multiple good qualities in being around an older woman/older women. For some reason (a mystery even to me) this song was also recently playing on my mind. I have previous familiarity with this song from my teenage years because my late adoptive mother frequently listened to country music playing on the radio (which indirectly influenced why I am at least a little familiar with some 80s and 90s country music songs).
The following is my previous Amazon review from October 7, 2015 of Pain by Jimmy Eat World
Gleeful Rock Song
October 7, 2015
Pain by Jimmy Eat World is an uplifting rock song that captures the spirit of being with someone who is a healing and favorable influence in one’s life (via the lyrics takes my pain away). Due to the optimistic nature of Pain by Jimmy Eat World I would guess that it would also be a good addition to a happy love song playlist or just a happy song playlist.
The following is my previous Amazon review from February 21, 2016 of 2 Heads by Coleman Hell
Risque Video/Good Song
February 21, 2016
2 Heads by Coleman Hell is a riveting alternative rock indie song that I’m not 100 percent sure what the meaning is. However, the lyrics have a way of pulling you in and blend well with the folksy guitars. I asked my husband what he thinks the song meaning is, he was guessing that maybe it is about one person in the relationship who is letting the other person know that they want more harmony/peace in the their life. Regardless of the meaning, I’m extremely grateful for the closeness of the marriage between my husband and I after watching a scandal type of music video to what is a brilliant alternative rock song that is 2 Heads by Coleman Hell.
Theme of Persistence andor Keeping Going ?
I was curious to obtain and listen to My Body by Young The Giant after recently hearing and enjoying a version of this song by Volbeat. I originally heard a version of this song around the 2011/2012 timeframe on the radio (via a metropolitan Washington D.C. area radio station). I confess that multiple years later I still have yet to completely decipher the complete meaning of this meaningful song. From gleaning other online interpretations of this song online (for instance songmeaning) it appears to be about pressing on and keeping going even during challenging circumstances in one’s life (even when your mind andor body might rationally communicate to you otherwise from the reflection of external circumstances) however I’m rationally andor intuitively aware that My Body could symbolize other meanings.
Heart String Pulling 90s Love Song
Before I Let You Go by Blackstreet is a song that I admit to unexpectedly recently hearing on the radio at a public place. This is both a somber yet R&B love song classic appears to be about the music narrator expressing how much the person they romantically care about andor romantically love matters to them while also simultaneously confessing that they hope to save andor preserve that union, connection andor relationship. I confess that I have some previous familiarity with this song because I sometimes heard this song played by this group on the radio during the 90s in the area that I spent a significant part of my teenage years.
The following is my previous Amazon music review from July 1 2018 of Trance Party 6
This cd will definitely help you to feel alive
July 1 2008
I have to agree with the reviewer who said that Trance Party 6 grows on you each listen. My favorite times to listen to this cd are right when I am getting ready to leave for work and also right before I am about to go out to other places. Many of the tracks on this cd are good to listen to but some of the standout tracks in my opinion are “I think I love you” by Balm, “raindrops” by Stunt, “alive’ by da buzz and “satellites” by September.
Off The Charts Racing However
I admit that I found out about this racy explicit music tribute of Wild Side by Normani feat. Cardi B after I had seen an online article of this song featuring a music sample inspired by Aaliyah. This music collaboration involving Normani and Cardi B is sizzling despite the blunt lyrics which of course is interesting to listen to (just be careful about playing this song in a work/professional career employment place of environment andor around a conservative family member andor friend).
The following is my previous Amazon music review from November 14, 2020 of The Tide Is High by Atomic Kitten
Spicy Song
November 14, 2020
The Tide Is High by Atomic Kitten is a lively modern day music tribute. All of the female vocals in this song synchronize harmoniously with the music of the Tide Is High.
The following is my previous Amazon music review from December 25, 2018 of Impulsive by Wilson Phillips
Intriguing Music Love Story
December 25, 2018
I admit that I unexpected heard this catchy and electrifying pop song that is Impulsive by Wilson Phillips sometime when I was around 11 to 14 years old after hearing this song played via a Wilson Phillips music cassette tape played by another family member. I am simply guessing that this song Impulsive by Wilson Phillips symbolizes a music story of a someone who becomes romantically in love with someone in an unexpected way and is reasoning with themselves whether to allow themselves to act on their heart even if it is in the heat of the moment before they decide to follow their heart after all.
The following is my previous Amazon music review from March 21, 2018 of Love On My Mind by Xscape
A Distinctive 90s era Club/R&B Love Song
March 21, 2018
I confess that around the time I was in middle school was when I first heard this spicy song that is Love On My Mind by Xscape. The song pretty much seems to be pretty straightforward from the title of being in a romantic mood and pretty much the lyrics tell the rest of the story musically speaking. The timing is well done when it comes to the ladies synchronizing their singing parts for what appears to be a very romantic and sizzling love song.
Yesterday I decided to take a chance with trying a lamb and beef gyro sandwich from Istanbul Gyro & Kebab (in Norfolk Virginia near the Macarthur Center mall area). The employee I interacted with for the order had a pleasant personality and I received my food quicker than expected (and fortunately it also tasted good). I also like that I obtained this gyro at a reasonable price for what I received in exchange.

Powerful Film
I confess that my purchase of Cruella (with Bonus Content) was indirectly influenced by multiple factors. My husband and I both agreed to eventually watch this film together and we both agreed on me watching this film ahead of time while he was working tonight before us watching the film together this week. I enjoyed watching Cruella (with Bonus Content) to the point that I am glad that it was made available for viewing to watch an unlimited amount of times because it is definitely one of the entertaining type of films to watch multiple times. The character of Cruella De Vil/Estella Miller ( played by Emma Stone) has been highly interested in fashion since her childhood and meets certain people in her childhood years that have major parts in both the development of Cruella De Vil and being significant parts of her life- Anita Darling who is one of the first females around Cruella’s age to be introduced in the film, Howell Baptiste Horace Badun (Paul Walter Hauser) and Jasper Badun (Joel Fry) who also meet during Cruella’s childhood years. Estella Miller’s life is unexpectedly and significantly altered when Baroness Von Hellman (Emma Thompson) comes into her life by chance. Emily Beacham, Mark Strong, and John McCrea are some of the multiple actors and actresses also featured with significant plot points in Cruella.
Various Food Cuisine Themes
Fortunately, I obtained the chance to purchase Food Court Wars Season 2 by December 22, 2019 via Amazon. I am grateful/thankful for both my current job/career/money opportunity/current place of employment and previous ones though I confess that my purchase of Food Court Wars Season 2 was indirectly influenced by the university food service employment I had around that time because fortunately the Food Network channel was at times on where I worked at the time. This Food Court Wars Season 2 features contestants from various walks of life and various locations within the U.S. pertaining to the theme of shopping mall food courts. Tyler Florence features in the hosting of Food Court Wars Season 2.
Delish Sauce
I confess that my recent purchase of Classico Traditional Basil Pesto (8.1 oz jar) came from my current job/current place of employment. This sauce has a good blend of olive oil, parmesan cheese and basil and paired well for a dipping sauce for some pepperoni that I tried from the fridge. Yes I admit that I intend to also utilize this Classico Traditional basil pesto for a sandwich condiment.
The following is my previous Amazon review from August 13 2012 of Armada Lounge 5
Armada Beats
August 13, 2012
“Armada Lounge” (Volume 5) is a superb two cd collection that features various artists performing chillout and electronica songs. There are twenty one songs on each cd that include the following hits: “Playing Fields” by Chicane featuring Kate Walsh, “Try To Be Love” by Sunlounger and Zara Taylor, and “Recurring Dreams” by Lustral. “Armada Lounge” (Volume 5) is great for those who enjoy various artist chillout music collections.
The following is my previous Amazon review from May 5, 2012 of The Very Best of the Eagles
Quality Songs From Eagle
May 5, 2012
“The Very Best Of” by The Eagles is a well-assembled two cd set of daring classic rock songs. The following is an excellent sampler of their musical hits:
“Hotel California”
“Take It Easy”
“Take It To The Limit”
“One Of These Nights”
“I Can’t Tell You Why”
“Witchy Woman”
“Get Over It”
“The Best Of My Love”
“Life In The Fast Lane”
“The Long Run”
“Love Will Keep Us Alive”
There are many more classics in this collection, and I would have to say that “Get Over It” was one of my favorites. I am aware that the band may have a different meaning for “Get Over It.” It is just that I like “Get Over It” because it serves as a musical reminder for me to turn obstacles into learning opportunities when things may go differently from what I originally planned. “The Very Best Of” by The Eagles is great for those who like classic rock music and/or at least seven songs by The Eagles
The following is my previous Amazon review from December 3, 2017 of Witchy Woman by The Eagles
Pleasant Classic Rock Love Song
December 3, 2017
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.
Brilliant Classic Rock
Fortunately, I actually heard Love Will Keep US Alive by The Eagles by the time I was 16 or 17 years old via the VH1 channel that would sometimes feature footage of this song and again by 2012 when I obtained the chance to hear this song via a music collection. This uplifting love song appears to be about enduring love and thriving with the feeling andor emotion of love. I admit that I was also recently reminded of this song after unexpectedly hearing it at least twice within the past 2 to 3 months via my current place of employment.
The following is my previous Amazon review from May 11, 2019 of Crave by Madonna feat. Swae Lee
Bold Love Song
May 11, 2019
I’m fortunate/lucky to have unexpectedly known about this song from seeing Crave by Madonna & Swae Lee featured in an email newsletter that I received. Basically this Crave song appears to be a bold pop/hip-hop type of love song that has the same musical story as the dance/electronic song titled Get Together from Madonna’s Confessions On A Dance Floor music collection (which I am fortunate to have obtained as a gift from my husband around the 2006/2007 timeframe).
Illuminating
I only wish that I knew what the Human Instrument by Volbeat meant, sometime within the next 10 days andor sooner I intend to look up the meaning of this fascinating sounding song. The music and instruments have some creative elements of western/country genre music mixed with hard rock metal type of music.
The following is my previous amazon review from October 14, 2019 of Can’t Remember To Forget You by Shakira feat. Rihanna
Powerful Shakira and Rihanna Collaboration
October 14, 2019
The song Can’t Remember to Forget You by Shakira feat. Rihanna is an entertaining tune that I admit I’m very late to the party to hear because I unexpectedly heard this song around the 2017 timeframe. Basically this song appears to be about a music story of two women who have the commonality of one person having a somersault effect on their heart.
Beyonce Does Vulnerability In A Creatively Powerful Way
Ring the Alarm by Beyonce is a keen early 2000s song that I actually heard by the 2006/2007 timeframe online and for some reason it captivated my attention again. This keen indie, R&B and club song appears to be about someone who intuitively knows that their partner is a player of the heart though admits why staying in a relationship with said person is a significant deal when it comes to their heart (romantically andor erotically speaking is what I am guessing).
If Only I Knew
7 Shots by Volbeat does a blend of hard rock and western music to the max in an amusing way with tremendous guitar melodies. This is another entertaining song that I wish I already knew the complete meaning to this song. However, this is a fun song to listen to if you are an eclectic music listener of various forms of rock music.
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.
Distinctive
The Human Radio by Shinedown is another song that I wish that I already knew the indepth meaning to. I have had the music collection that contains this song since the summer of 2018 and to this day I have yet to explain the complete meaning of The Human Radio. However the dazzling lyrics and radiant music to this song paint an image of a song that has an encouraging energy to the song.
Thrilling Music Collaboration of Beyonce & Shakira
Beautiful Liar by Beyonce & Shakira is a daring song that appears to be about two women who cared very passionately for the same person (I’m guessing from the song probably a player andor womanizer from the lyrics of the song). Regardless of the songmeaning, the music collaboration involving Beyonce & Shakira has excellent music and fierce lyrics in the song.
Dramatic Nostalgia Redefined?
Beautiful Mistakes by Maroon 5 feat. Megan Thee Stallion combines pop and house music and appears to be a music story of someone recalling someone they miss complete with certain type of memories that they have of the person. The vocals of lead singer of Maroon 5 and Megan Thee Stallion impeccably timed in the song.
Energetic Music Blend
Super Bass by Nicki Minaj is an exciting dance/hip-hop song that combines experimental music genre mixing with innovative lyrics that appears to be a music expression an ode to someone who makes one’s heart skip a beat. One of my earliest memories of hearing this song was by the summer of 2011 after a clothing store near a university I shopped at played this song.
The following is my previous Amazon review from October 14, 2015 of Want To Want Me by Jason Derulo
2015 Daring Song by Jason Derulo
October 14, 2015
Want To Want Me by Jason Derulo is a catchy pop dance song that appears to be about someone admitting that they want the person to like them back romantically. It is a catchy high energy beat with an online music video that appears to also match the theme of the song.
Jason Derulo At His Finest
By around the 2015 timeframe, I had heard Want To Want Me by Jason Derulo enough times on metropolitan Washington DC radio at the time to where the song grew on me. This edgy pop dance beat appears to blend bold lyrics with the music narrator expressing how they feel just with the thought of someone.
Bold And Self Confident
I Don’t Give A by Madonna feat. Nicki Minaj appears to be a distinctive music theme of doing andor feeling with greater freedom regardless of how it may perceived by multiple other people in one’s life. Even if you are new to either Madonna andor Nicki Minaj’s music an eclectic music listener might still enjoy this song because of the music mashup of dance, pop, and electronic elements in this song.
Self Confidence Theme?
Slow Clap by Gwen Stefani & Saweetie have elements of indie pop and summery anthem themes. Both musicians take turns at good timing in contributing their vocals to this music collaboration. An eclectic music listener might enjoy this song if they have enjoyed any previous music collaborations featuring Gwen Stefani andor even if you are a new music listener to music by Saweetie.

Inspiring To Look At Even If
I purchased this kindlebook College Student Side Hustle by Kara Ross that is intuitively and logically knowing very well that I am outside the target audience for this type of title. Still, I am glad that I took a chance on purchasing College Student Side Hustle because of a multiple number of ideas featured to research within the next 15 months andor sooner andor even if you want to keep your main job while researching andor eventually choosing a side hustle idea. The only caveat is that some of the ideas do require having a personal car, I admit that there is one idea that I would love to try however I would definitely have to work out the car situation first before trying. Still, I am glad to have found this kindlebook for both present and future reference.
Tasty Snack
I admit that I recently spotted this 2.5 ounce package of Maple Glazed & Smoked Tender Salmon Bites at my current job. The maple glaze, coconut oil and dill taste is very subtle and some people who enjoy beef jerky might enjoy these type of salmon bites if they enjoy certain packages of cold salmon where the salmon is already cooked.
Some Uplifting Examples However
I purchased this kindlebook with the understanding that I am fortunate/lucky in multiple areas of my life and my husband of 17 years even lovingly encourages me to step beyond my comfort zone at certain crucial times. This has at times paid off handsomely in my career and money life (since at least 2014 and for extended periods into the early 2000s) we have been able to cover and pay for our essential needs and at times wants without government assistance. I have been planning my life and doing everything in my power to keep it that way (even with my own personal political beliefs being geared more towards government help for eligible men women and children whenever possible). The pros of this kindlebook that is Clever Girl Finance The Side Hustle Guide by Bola Sokunbi: The author interviews some people who have had success with their side hustles, including some of their bio information, lists both the pros and caveats of doing side hustles. The caveats: it helps if the reader already has an idea of what they would like to do because the success stories and information are already geared more to that (however a reader might obviously glean some ideas from the money success stories featured).

2020 Las Vegas Guide
I admit that part of my interest in this book Frommer’s Easy Guide to Las Vegas 2020 by Grace Boscos partially and indirectly stems from happy memories of my amazing husband and I getting married over 17 years ago in Las Vegas. We got married in Las Vegas January 22, 2004 when I was still living in California (via the navy) and he in Japan (also through the navy). Fortunately, we have overcome and survived a lot together and we both mutually agree to eventually take a trip to Las Vegas together again. My husband and I are currently on the fence between which year to do so (though we both have an idea of which three years we both might choose from). Anyhow, I am glad that this version of the book has multiple options to choose from that include the following; information on the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino and the Palms Casino Resort (pages 80 and 81), information/details on the North Strip of Las Vegas including details on one of the businesses affiliated with chef Jose Andres in this area (page 125), information on Jimmy Kimmel’s Comedy Club (page 213), some outdoor/camping activities (pages 254 to 257), details on the Hoover Dam Visitor Center and Lake Mead National Recreation Area (pages 244-245), and more.
An Unexpected Find
This hardcover version of Yes We Did by Lawrence Jackson (Former Official White House Photographer and Foreword by former President Barack Obama) contains an informative timeline of photos and details regarding former President Obama’s time in the office in addition to a multiple number of people who know him. Some of the photos and details included in Yes We Did by Lawrence Jackson: photo and details for former President Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama at an event on March 7, 2015, a photo of former First Lady Michelle Obama on April 22,2015 interacting with a young school girl for the Take Our Daughters and Sons To Work Day Event in the East Room of the White House, a photo of President Joe Biden and former President Barack Obama on June 13, 2016 before a photo line with appointees in the Oval Office (page 82), former First Lady Michelle Obama and current first Lady Dr. Jill Biden chat during a photo shoot and interview with AARP magazine in the Eisenhower Executive Building on May 6, 2011 (page 83), and much more. I had unexpectedly found out about the existence of this book from a place that is within five miles from where my husband and I currently reside.
The following is my previous Amazon review from July 5, 2019 of Grocery The Buying and Selling of Food In America by Michael Ruhlman
Extensive Grocery Details
July 5, 2019
I admit that this kindlebook that is Grocery: The Buying and Selling of Food in America by Michael Ruhlman piqued my curiosity even though I am fortunate to reside with my husband in an area with multiple grocery stores within easy access of public transportation: Giant, Whole Foods, Aldi’s, Lidl,Costco, Shoppers,Safeway, etc. A sampling of the details included in this kindlebook include: the author’s father loved to go grocery shopping, the country’s first grocery stores in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries carried about two hundred products, during the final decades of the twentieth century referenced in a 2014 Consumer Reports article the average supermarket had quadruple nine thousand items (by 2008), info on early 1930s origins of the King Kullen supermarket chain, starts on page 59 of a business consultant originally Orlando Florida based who had worked with Bristol Farms in Southern California, Ball’s food stores in Kansas, Lund&Byerly’s in the Minneapolis-Saint Paul area,Festival Foods, Roche Bros supermarkets in the Boston area/Dorothy Lane Market in Dayton Ohio, a section on page 92 titled Breakfast The Most Dangerous Meal of the Day, authors reference to a type of salmon grown in the Pacific ocean on page 113, a section that starts on page 140 part III the center aisles which follows another title a few of the twenty thousand new products for your consideration for instance the author’s reference to breakfast bar shelves that include Nature Valley-General Mills, Quaker-Pepsi-Co,the authors experience/take with sampling microwavable frittata, and much more.
Supermarket Documentary
I admit that my interest in both obtaining and viewing this documentary that is Supermarket Films is partially and indirectly influenced by my current job. The pros: there was coverage of the cashier, viewing of a day to day operations in one supermarket, some of the processes involving both the farmers and factories that produced the food. The caveats: I wanted to like this film more however the caveat is that I thought that there was going to be coverage on a multiple number of supermarkets, however the number of supermarkets that is covered is very small additionally only one time period is predominantly covered in the supermarket documentary(around the 1960s) rather than multiple time periods. This Supermarket Secrets film was at least cheap for what I paid for and is at least good if you are ok with viewing one type of time period supermarket grocery history.
Blissful Early 2000s Song
This live version of Now by Def Leppard is performed with a similar ingenuity and powerful emotion of the album version of Now. This live version of Now by Def Leppard is ideal to listen to and enjoy if you are previously familiar with the album version of Now. However even if you are a complete novice to this song, the Now live version is most likely to be enjoyed by eclectic music listeners who enjoy cheery love songs from the early 2000s rock music era.
The following are my previous Amazon music reviews from November 8, 2020 and March 31, 2018 of Now That’s What I Call Music 13 music playlist
A Mix of Three Music Genres
November 8, 2020
I confess that I actually remember this music collection of Now That’s What I Call Music 13 (Now 13) from multiple years ago because I had purchased a version of this collection from a Japan navy exchange around the 2003 timeframe. There is a mix of top 40s style music on this collection from the rock, r&b, pop etc At the time of this writing there is a listing of the song names on the digital playlist of now 13 the music group/artists that were fortunately displayed after I accessed my amazon music account are: 1)Justin Timberlake 2) Jennifer Lopez 3)B2K 4)Jay-Z 5)Ginuwine 6) Joe Budden 7)Nas 8) Frankie J 9)Daniel Bedingfield 10) Counting Crows Vanessa Carlton 11)Robbie Williams 12)Stacie Orrico 13)Lisa Marie Presley 14)Bowling For Soup 15)The Ataris 16)Chevelle 17)Coldplay. This Now 13 mix is good to listen to if you are receptive to listening to top 40 andor different types of music.
Appealing Early 2000s Tunes
March 31, 2018
This amazon music playlist of Now That’s What I Call Music Vol. 13 gives me positive nostalgia because this music collection is similar to a Now 13 music collection that I purchased back around July/August 2003.I was 22 years old andpurchased the Now 13 music set through the navy exchange store(via my time in the U.S. Navy).As a result I am previously familiar with multiple song gems on this collection and was glad to hear among the following multiple songs out of a quality collection of diverse and tuneful songs on this set such as; Clocks by Coldplay, Excuse Me Miss by Jay-Z,Feel by Robbie Williams, The Road I’m On by 3 Doors Down,In This Diary by the Ataris, Girl All the Bad Guys Want by Bowling For Soup,Rock Your Body by Justin Timberlake, I’m Glad by Jennifer Lopez, etc.
Distinctive Indie Rock
This Mountain At My Gates indie rock song by Foals has both an empowering and motivational feel to it despite the energy of the song appearing to acknowledge the obstacles that must be overcome before greater opportunity can happen. I admit that I recently heard this song after going inside a business though fortunately I became aware of this song by around 2015 from either online andor radio airplay.
A Compelling Soul Song
I confess that I came across this unique music gem of Next Lifetime by Erykah Badu after recently scrolling around the multiple radio stations via a radio my husband had purchased for me less than 8 months ago. I am far from certain how much justice I can do in describing the meaning of this song, this interesting song is better explained simply more by listening it. It has a controversial feel to it that some music listeners might pick up after hearing the song, this fascinating song appears to creatively nod to the concept of reincarnation in the next lifetime song and transforms the feeling of romantic yearning into an original type of music art form.
Creative Even If
This song Stuck by Stacie Orrico is very much the opposite of a joy feeling type of love song. Still, Stacie Orrico turns vulnerability into artistic creativity with this early 2000s pop song. Basically this song appears to be trying to fight feelings about missing someone for unexplainable reasons. I first heard this song around the late 2003/early 2004 timeframe from the Now 13 music collection (that I had purchased in Japan).
Moneymaker Goal Ideas
This Woman’s World Specials Edition of Make Money From Home includes ideas for growing one’s money regardless of their career goals andor even if one is just looking for a side job to supplement their current job. For instance, there is a feature of a woman who makes her living grocery shopping around one of her other jobs, another feature of a woman who does door dash, and another woman who leverages youtube to help in her money goals. The only caveat is that obviously some of the ideas are going to require a car, however this magazine is good to keep in mind for both present and future reference regardless of car/vehicle status.
Review For The June/July 2021 issue of Forbes
This review is for the June/July 2021 issue of Forbes (I have both the paper magazine cover edition and kindle edition of the June/July 2021 feature of 50 Over 50 with Vice President Kamala Harris on the front cover). Some of the details covered in this edition of 50 Over 50: the listing of 50 over 50 (starts on page 62),an interview featuring Mika Brzezinski (page 640, a feature and interview of Shonda Rhimes (starts on page 72), and more.
Slight update by 106 am Thursday July 8 2021 I realized moments ago that I wrote/had written a January 8 2015 review on Forbes which I am thankful that Amazon saved for both present and future reference
January 8 2015
Special 2015 Issue of Forbes
This is another magazine issue cover that I’m well aware is most likely going to change within 7-10 days. However, the 2015 Investment Guide Special Issue of Forbes Road Map To Riches; Your 32 Best Investment Ideas are also a treasure trove of a variety of information. 25 years of guaranteed income starts on page 108, buying a house in the suburbs page 120, feature on investors and African economies starts on page 125, a feature on Brazil and their booming beauty business starts on page 172, and a feature on umberto angeloni listed to be fashion’s comeback king and based out of Italy starts on page 178. I’m also holding a special edition of Forbes that has the listing of the Forbes 400 (listed to be the identitive randking of the richest people in America) that was listed for display until January 5, 2015. Jerry yang is on the front of the cover and there is a feature listed to be a scorecard consisting of men and women who are self-made and those who are silver spoon. An article on Business Aviation (pages 117-122), pages 130-132 feature the rankings of the 15th to the 19th richest people in America, and pages 168-174 feature the 167th to 190th richest. Forbes also has other special edition magazines such as the 2015 Investment Guide Special Issue of the Road Map To Riches titled Your Best 32 Investment Investment Ideas and listed to Display Until March 16, 2015. The Leader Board (page 32) and 25 Years of Guaranteed Income (starts on page 108) are some of the article features with the Forbes Special issue 2015 Investment Guide. As mentioned in a previous review, I would be fine with being employed until I’m at least 85. The only reason why my husband and I are already planning to save enough money to comfortably retire by the late 2030’s/early2040’s is because of our shared belief that social security in the U.S. will not pay enough for even a cheap apartment by the time the late 2040’s/early 2050’s roll around. Additionally, we are both aware that we’re part of a generation where retirement accounts are our responsibility, self-employment may be necessary and not just a take it or leave it option, and also preparing for the possibility of age related discrimination still existing for both the male and female genders of all races/ethnicities (especially with me being a minority woman).
Oprah Mag Happiness Feature
This feature of the Oprah Quarterly Summer 2021 magazine Finally Brighter Days Ahead (O’s Guide To Helping You Emerge Stronger & Happier) features multiple ideas and references from multiple people interviewed and featured within this magazine. The following are some of the ideas included: a post pandemic guide to emotions (starts on pages 58- 59), a reboot the body article including details on the connection between exercise and the immune system (page 71), a feature on some college students overcoming great odds to pursue their college degrees (starts on page 90) and more.
The following is my previous Amazon review from July 21, 2013 of Arrmada Lounge 6
Music Continuation of Armada Lounge Quality
July 21, 2013
“Armada Lounge: Vol. 6” is a collection of 38 chillout songs from various artists. “Colours” (Strings & Vocals Mix) by Emma Hewitt, “Carry Me Away” (Live Acoustic version) by Emma Hewitt,”Under The Gun” (feat. Leigh Nash) by Conjure One, and “Surrounded” by BT& Aqualung are some of the satisfying hits available out of the other excellent songs available on this various artist compilation. I am previously familiar with some of Emma Hewitt’s music due to Armin Van Burren publicly introducing her on the internet. I am now curious to eventually checkout at least one of her music collections within the next three months. “Armada Lounge: Vol. 6” is fantastic for those who enjoy chillout and/or lounge music with trance and electronica vibes.
The following is my previous Amazon review from December 14, 2013 of Learning From the Future by Mary Hykel Hunt
Future Self Glimpses
December 14, 2013
Learning From The Future by Mary Hykel Hunt is a short book (102 pages) that touches on tapping into the potential probabilities that are projected into your future. My personal experience that leads me to believe in this possibility has to do with the fact that many of my dreams that made an appearance in my sleep have come and continue to do so in my waking life. I strongly believe that this is no accident and I am being shown these type of dreams in order to help me more strongly take steps to joyfully change my life (with aligned action) in the physical world. In the preface, the author makes it clear that she is focusing on ways to tune into multiple personal futures (due to one choice and/or action having a ripple effect on personal reality). Information is included such as how to know if what you are seeing is real, what to do if shown something that is different from what is initially visualized, and what to do if seeing the future is taking longer than expected (pages 46-47). There is also a listing of a select bibliography/further reading future at the end of the book (pages 101-102).

Perceptive Documentary
This documentary No One Dies In Lily Dale features commentary from multiple residents, mediums, and people who have visited Lily Dale. There is even reference to one of the women interviewed where she shares that her parents met at Lily Dale. Footage is also shown of some of the mediums getting together as a group socially in some of the free time they have, and more. I confess that I have to credit a close friend who I have known for over 15 years (who I met when I was still in the navy) for my interest in this type of documentary because she has shared with me before (less than a year ago) a similar type of community that exists in Florida.
Colorful Details On A Controversial Woman
This documentary that is The Witch of Kings Cross features details on a woman named Rosaleen Norton, people who study her, and some of the multiple people who knew her. The Witch of Kings Cross documentary features some details on how she was brought up, some of the controversies around her esoteric paintings, references to multiple people in her life that either directly andor indirectly influenced her work, and more. I knew full well that I am outside the target audience when I decided/chose to obtain The Witch of Kings Cross documentary and it is probably going to take me multiple days andor weeks to figure out why my soul/spirit was drawn to this documentary. Regardless, The Witch of Kings Cross documentary is an interesting documentary to find by chance.
Delish bread
I confess that I actually purchased a similar version of this 22 ounce Pepperidge Farm Farmhouse Sweet Hawaiian Bread from my current job. This type of bread tastes good either by itself or with any type of spread. The sweet taste to the bread is very subtle and the bread has the perfect moistness.
Cherry and Blueberry Blend
This Smucker’s brand of Mosaics Cherry Blueberry spread (11.3 oz jar) has a good mix of berry and cherry flavor, the cherries contained within this type of jelly have a generous mix of cherries. I confess that I decided to try this cherry blueberry spread after seeing it a certain amount of times at my current job and I am glad to have tried it.
Mix of Lime and Salt Flavors
My amazing husband obtained these Lay’s brand Limon potato ships (7.75 oz) from his current job for me. These Lay’s chips have a perfect blend of lime and salt flavor and are ideal if you enjoy citrus flavors for certain types of food items.
I admit that I have been to Thrift Store USA in Norfolk Virginia multiple times, one reason I feel comfortable/fine with admitting is because of the quality selection and bargain prices of the clothes and books available. My most recent visit I bought a couple pairs of jeans and t shirts (two men’s size medium t-shirts). The cashier scanning my items was pleasant to talk to and interact with. This place also allows for donation items if you ever have a preference for donating any clothes.

The Author’s Law of Attraction Journey
This book Law of Attraction In Action Law 30 of Attraction Practical Exercises by Louise Stapely has some insightful ideas via the author utilizing and showing her own examples on which techniques she regularly utilized (even just this by itself helped me especially for time reasons), the techniques are explained including one that was a first for me though which I found especially practical for some of the stuff that I know must be done (the 5 daily goals), the author explains about music (a section I intend to look more at within 12 hours andor sooner for both present and future reference), and more.
What Helped The Author Achieve Some Of Her Dreams
This book Law of Attraction Hacks 5 Simple Steps To Manifest The Life Of Your Dreams by Nodreen Kiwanuka explains the steps that the author used to help make her dreams come true including the purchase of a new home. Ideas are even explained on how to increase focus on the desired andor preferred goals.
The following is my previous Amazon review from April 4, 2020 of Supermarket Sweep Season 2000
Fascinating To Watch
April 4, 2020
I confess that I was indirectly influenced to eventually see this Supermarket Sweep Season 2000 show after watching a slightly related show via Food Network (Guy’s Grocery Games). This Supermarket Season 2000 show is interesting to watch and seeing the contestants get money awards based on certain guesses of prices and naming brands related to the question unexpectedly helped me understand much more than I was initially expecting to (for instance the obvious of helping me understand how some of today’s popular brands were obviously well known even then etc.) Seeing the contestants compete for money based on the amount and type of groceries they get and getting to hear how a multiple number of the contestants met each other, their jobs also added to the intrigue of watching Supermarket Sweeps Season 2000.
Dynamic
Guy’s Grocery Games Season 13 opens with the feature of one of the grand champion winners from a previous season, another contestant who is a Los Angeles restauranteur, and a winery chef. They compete for a chance to be in a cooking competition with one of the iron chefs featured and a chance to win ten thousand dollars. Additionally, the names of the judges of the contest are referenced and introduced.
I Am Glad To Have Purchased Season 2 However
Westworld Season 2 opens with some very serious events relating to multiple participants who are a part of Westword, because of the violent sequences involved Westworld season 2 has to be seen with a strong mind. I must refrain from explaining more for viewers who have yet to see any Westworld tv episodes though I feel fine with at least expressing that while I enjoyed watching both Westworld films, the violence sequences are tame compared to what occurs in episode 1 of season 2 (obviously probably for multiple reason beyond the Westworld films having been made in the 70s compared to the modern day period when the Westworld tv series is being made).
The following is my previous Amazon review from December 12, 2011 of the various music artists collection that is Happy Songs

Life Changes In Seconds
I purchased this kindlebook The Revenge Of Magic by James Riley with the understanding that it is common knowledge to coin phrases related to revenge that include looking good is the best revenge, living well is the best revenge, success is the best revenge etc. Additionally, I look at this type of revenge book with the understanding that the theme of revenge is entertaining for fiction however I try to avoid acting out of revenge in real-life (more because I believe that any spiritual tests temptations to follow through with revenge towards anyone regardless of who the person or (people) are show hidden clues to what a person’s logic andor intuition are telling them for instance any temptation that may arise to take revenge on a current or former frenemy, acquaintance, family member andor friend is an obvious sign to forgive more andor see the good in the person (s) more regardless if or how often you see them again and instead figure out how one needs to be more of a friend andor ally to oneself andor cultivate stronger connections either with the people involved andor via keeping an open mind meeting new people via creating opportunities for oneself to do so ). However this book is suspenseful and provides entertainment with the themes of magic andor revenge that include among the following plot points: One of the characters being taking to a trip to see multiple monuments in Washington D.C. before multiple people were running for their lives, a life changing event of certain magic books that are referenced between one of the characters and someone that worked at the National Security Agency, certain birthdays are significant in this story, why the location for a certain type of schooling and training had to be secretive, and more.
Author’s Government Career Journey
I admit that I actually spotted this book See No Evil: The True Story Of A Ground Soldier In The CIA’s War On Terrorism by Robert Baer at a thrift store sometime within the past 90 days and I was curious to obtain the book even with I being fully aware that I am outside the intended target audience. This book has some action packed details covering how the author ended up in military school during his high school years, some of the circumstances covering what led to the author to enrolling in Georgetown University and being approached for a life changing career opportunity, the role of the polygraph during the author’s career, the role of January 21, 1995 in the author’s life, and more.
Consumer Reports September 2021 Feature
I admit that I actually spotted this Consumer Reports Magazine New Cars September 2021 edition at my current job. The only caveat is that the cheapest price for most of these cars listed is around $16,000 dollars, however a good mix of cars are featured within the magazine.
An Original Country Song
For some reason this Only One You song by T.G Sheppard was playing on my mind recently which again is surprising even to me because the last time I heard this song was around the 90s via a country music radio station (my late adoptive mother was a fanatic of country music and I credit her as part of the reason why I have some previous familiarity with some 80s and 90s country music songs). Anyhow, I’m taking a wild guess that part of the meaning of this memorable love song to pretty much symbolize from the music narrator’s point of view that their romantic partner andor lover is one of a kind, I’m guessing that this symbolizes basically even if the music narrator was to meet someone who physically looked andor acted similar to their romantic partner that this still would pale in comparison to the uniqueness to their romantic partner andor lover radiates from their personality, soul, spirit especially because it is common knowledge that a person’s life circumstances where they originate and where they have been etc. indirectly shape their personality which yields two completely different people where the differences can be in a similar contrast similar to night and day even if both people resemble each other in physical difference andor come from similar backgrounds (I’m guessing the music narrator communicating the good qualities of their partner’s uniqueness andor one of a kind personality from the lyrics one Eiffel tower one Mona Lisa one Fifth Avenue etc. because even if duplicates are built from those monuments for instance a Hollywood film theme park etc, this would still far from coming close to the originally energy and circumstances made in creating the first Eiffel Tower Mona Lisa etc).
Electrifying
Enjoying the original version of Doc Holliday by Volbeat indirectly influenced me to give this live version a chance. I wish that I knew what at least some of what this song symbolizes, however the lively and electric blend of the vocals and music in this live version makes Doc Holliday fascinating to listen to.
The following is my previous Amazon review from October 5, 2018 of Ride by Chase Rice feat. Macy Maloy
Racy Yet Brilliant
October 5, 2018
I admit that I unexpectedly found out about this racy country music love song that is Ride by Chase Rice feat. Macy Malloy via a music playlist that I spotted online. The music collaboration between Chase Rice and Macy Malloy involving the well timed vocals almost creates a bold music story that goes smoothly with the music video. I am obviously glad that Amazon has this song available.
Thrilling
Radio airplay is why I know about this rousing song that is I’ve Been Everywhere by L.A. Rats, different locations are named in the song that paints the lifestyle of a traveler in a distinctive way. This song distinctively melds rock, country and western music influences into I’ve Been Everywhere.
The following is my previous Amazon review from December 14, 2014 of the Look of Love song by ABC
Musical Expression Of The Heart
December 14, 2014
I was exposed to the musical treat that is the look of love (part 1) by abc through the petshop boys iheartradio station. I’m guessing that the singer is musically referring to someone that can invoke strong emotions of love in a person by just their stare. The synth pop/alternative/80s indie music and instruments used with the vocals also create a harmonic blend.
Artistic Music Hybrid
This Lil Bit song by Nelly & Florida Georgia Line is entertaining to listen to and creatively melds both country and hip-hop music elements. I confess that I happened to fortunately find out about this song because it was featured in one of multiple lists of songs/music videos that are tailored to a person’s profile on one of the music video sites that I sometimes look at when my time permits. This song has a summery/festive element that is also the type of music track that can be enjoyed year round.
Stirring 90s Song
I remember being around 10 andor 11 years old when I heard this bold and riveting song that is Someday by Mariah Carey. The vocal notes that she hits with the music makes this song compelling to listen to.
The following is my previous Amazon review from December 13, 2019 of Let it Rock by Kevin Rudolf feat Lil Wayne
Spirited 2000s Song
December 13, 2019
This bold song that is Let it Rock by Kevin Rudolf feat. Lil Wayne is a high energy club/hip-hop song that I first heard by around the late 2008 andor early 2009 timeframe. I had heard it quite a bit on local radio in the Norfolk Virginia area. The energy of this song evokes a motivational making the best of one’s life type of confidence building energy.
The following is my previous amazon review of Outlaw Gentlemen And Shady Ladies by Volbeat from December 12. 2014
Discovered Through Family
December 12, 2014
I am lucky to have found out about volbeat through one of my older brothers and his wife, who both enjoy their music. Outlaw gentleman and shady ladies contain various songs that dramatically take a music snapshot of the various fleeting milestones in life. For instance, lola Montez captures the experience of being with someone who is a happy influence in one’s life. Then there is a quality music cover of music group giant’s my body. Outlaw gentleman and shady ladies is great for those who are open to listen to different elements of rock music.
The following is my previous Amazon review from July 4, 2013 of the song Sleeping Satellites by Tasmin Archer
Ethereal Satellite
July 4, 2013
As with millions of others, I first heard “Sleeping Satellite” by Tasmin Archer during the 1990’s. “Sleeping Satellite” is a heartfelt tone that has the singer artistically baring a part of her soul. Archer’s vocals are superb in the song and the music fits together with the lyrics very smoothly. I actually wish that I understood the full meaning of the song, but “Sleeping Satellite” by Tasmin Archer is good for those who like indie rock songs with hints of chillout and folk music.
Works Very Well
I must preface this relaxer review by making it clear that I intuitively and logically understand that beauty comes in many forms of racial backgrounds, complexions, hair textures, ages, bodyshapes etc. regardless if the forms are mainstream beauty ideals. However I admit that I prefer to chemically relax my hair via spacing the relaxers at least once every approximately 5 to 6 months andor longer and I have been doing so since November 2013 for multiple reasons one reason I feel comfortable admitting is that relaxing my hair saves me much money and time (I wore my hair naturally curly from the summer of 2003 when I was living in Japan until spring 2012 when I was living in a suburb of the metropolitan Washington D.C. area ( from those years my after tax monthly income averaged at least 20,000 to 36,000 yearly after taxes which is a comfortable amount of money for my husband and I, if I ever change my mind and resume the naturally curly hair lifestyle it would most likely be when I consistently make that type of income long term). One of my main points of saying this is because this type of ORS Olive Oil extra strength relaxer is ideal for various money budgets, I have to use 2 of these relaxer kits because I have type 3 coarse hair (if you are far from certain of your hair type the ouidad and naturally curly websites have curly hair type indicators). The pros: this relaxer worked well on my hair and it is surprisingly easy to apply with easy instructions for a novice and gloves that offer good coverage doing application, the caveats: you definitely have to get your own Vaseline andor skin protectant to protect parts of your neck, forehead, and ears when applying and rinsing the relaxer in addition to purchasing some extra shampoo and conditioner because the kits do come with some conditioner and shampoo however one may need at least the extra shampoo to insure the relaxer is completely washed out. However, this ORS Olive Oil relaxer was well worth it and I am glad to have purchased one of the few extra strength kits that were available at the time that I purchased them at a store that is a few miles from where my husband and I currently live.
My husband and I recently obtained food from the Mr. Shawarma in Norfolk Virginia. We both chose the beef and lamb shawarma bowls with pita bread which we both enjoyed and the delivery drivers who gave me the food had pleasant personalities. The only caveat was that I chose eggplant to be put in my bowl and I noticed it was missing after I started eating it. My husband and I eventually plan on eating there again because of how good the food tasted(I would just make sure to order the fried eggplant on the side), and I had some leftovers from the lamb and beef shawarma bowl the next day from what was left in the bowl I ordered which still tasted good even with me eating the remainders the next day and refrigerated.
I admit that I decided to go to the Pendulum Fine Meats location in Norfolk Virginia after seeing it featured on one of the Guy Fieri tv episodes. I purchased some orange dream soda, some german chocolate cheesecake bar and some cut up pepperoni and bacon. They all tasted good the only caveat is that while the bacon tasted good both my husband and I agreed that there was more salt in the bacon than we both expected (it still tasted good though we both realized that the type of bacon we consumed was meant more to be combined with another food compared to it being just a standalone food after the cooking was done). I also got some route 66 Mama Zuma chips that were hot and tasty.

Some Culinary History Pertaining To Puerto Rico
This kindlebook of Eating Puerto Rico A History of Food Culture Identity by Cruz Miguel Ortiz Cuadra appealed to my curiosity for multiple reasons. One of the reasons I feel comfortable admitting is to have a guide that explains some details pertaining to Puerto since I what I do know for certain is that I inherited a significant part of my partial Puerto Rican ancestry from my late biological mother (my late maternal biological Menominee Indian/Native American grandmother had a child with a Puerto Rican man resulting in my late maternal biological mother being born on Halloween in the 1960s). Anyhow, this kindlebook has extensive details pertaining to Puerto Rico that include among the following: around 1999 a Puerto Rican newspaper titled El Nuevo Dia interviewed several public figures regarding their favorite meal, how the author’s travel experience via a trip to a place in Switzerland in the 1980s is related to the theme of Eating Puerto Rico, how the challenging history of slave trade and culinary knowledge shared between mestizo descendants and slaves living in Puerto Rico a few hundred years ago played a role in the cultivation of a certain plant utilized in a certain food service that is still part of cuisine in Puerto Rico today, certain foods that a part of food cuisine in Puerto Rico also being featured in some global supermarkets and more.
The following is my previous Amazon review from March 9 2020 of the kindlebook Good Seeds A Menominee Indian Food Memoir by Thomas Pecore Weso
Detailed Menominee Indian Food Memoir
March 9 2020
One of the multiple reasons why I purchased this kindlebook that is Good Seeds A Menominee Indian Food Memoir by Thomas Pecore Weso with money made from my current place of employment is because I was curious to see a food memoir connected to the Menominee Indian heritage/ancestory I inherited from my late maternal biological grandmother and my late biological mother. I’m also lucky to be married to an open minded and sweet husband who has unconditionally loved me throughout multiple years and is supportive of my attempts in studying reading material related to parts of ancestral history. I unexpectedly found this kindlebook doing a search in Amazon pertaining to Menominee Indian books. Some of the food memoir topics that the author touches upon include: how the boarding schools that the author’s grandparents attended influenced what they learned about the dietary culture within the United States, the author’s family food stand history that connects to a Menominee County Fair, sugar bush maple sugar gatherings, sometimes when the weather was warm the author’s grandmother enlisted the help of a fisherman family member who frequently gathered what would be a part of the author’s early summer breakfast, one of the author’s first jobs was at a school cafeteria washing dishes, sometimes his grandmother would make preserved fruit pies for breakfast (apple blackberry gooseberry blueberry etc.), pan fried trout recipe, a recipe for one of the fruit pies,a chapter on fruit sometimes the author’s grandmother would bring out fruit she had canned, recipes for dried blueberries cranberry sauce cranberries and wild rice, a chapter on greens, diner food in the areas where the author visited andor lived, the author explains that him and other family members ate at diners when they would travel to fairs andor paryer meetings at an Indian church, fair events at the Menominee fairgrounds, and more.
The following is my previous Amazon review from March 17 2020 of the kindlebook Menominee Indians (Images of America) by Gavin Schmitt
Menominee Indian History Viewing Via My Amazon Kindle Unlimited
March 17 2020
I admit that multiple reasons influenced why I became interested in viewing this kindlebook that is Menominee Indians (Images of America) by Gavin Schmitt at least well over a week ago. For starters, I inherited partial Menominee Indian Ancestry from my late maternal biological grandmother and my late biological mother who were both enrolled in the Menominee Indian Tribal rolls. My late maternal biological grandmother voluntarily gave me up for adoption by the time I was around 7 years old (however by the 2012/2013 timeframe my late biological grandmother did at least explain to me truthfully some of the reasons why she gave me up for adoption). Anyhow, by the time I was 7 going on 8 years of age I was placed with two American born parents in the Midwest (my late adoptive father was an American born man of Mexican and Aztec Indian ancestry and my late adoptive mother was an American born non-Hispanic Caucasian woman of Cherokee Indian and French Ancestry). Both tried the best they could in raising me though finding out about my Menominee Indian ancestry was naturally going to be left up to me to research by the time I was in my 30s. Fortunately there are books/kindlebooks now available in the case of Menominee Indians by Gavin Schmitt to help me increase andor further understand my partial Menominee Indian ancestry and this kindlebook includes among the following multiple details: the council tree of Neenah that was a meeting place for Europeans and Menominee, some details on the group Determination of Rights and Unity For Menominee Stockholders (DRUMS), I am truthfully surprised about the history referenced involving former President Eisenhower in connection with the Menominee reservation, a politician named Melvin Laird in connection with the Menominee reservation, some information on the Menominee Casino Bingo Hotel, a photo and some details on Ben Miller who was the tribal and county chairman in the 1970s and spearheaded the movement to communicate to Congress in order to restore the Menominee tribe reservation, an image of unidentified canoeists of the Menominee reservation, a picture of a Menominee couple in a two room house they rented for 15 dollars per month, a picture of some members of Menominee Warrior Society from January 1, 1975, a picture of DRUMS spokesman James White, a picture of Governor Patrick Lucey who helped provide vital support towards the restoration of the Menominee reservation, a picture of lacrosse players, a photo of a real-life medicine woman, some history and a carnival photo pertaining to Billie Frechette who became involved with a notorious crime leader named John Dillinger, a photo of Karen Washinawatok who was crowned Miss Menominee, a photo of a man named Joe Corn who was one of the Menominee Tribe’s respected elders, a photo of what was considered the “Mansion In The Woods” that served as a post for trade between the French and Menominee, and more.
Multiple Adoption Stories
This kindlebook that is Called Home Book Two Lost Children of The Indian Adoption Projects by Trace DeMeyer Patricia Busbee appealed to me for multiple reasons. One reason I feel comfortable admitting is that I am lucky to have been adopted and my soul/spirit is curious to know what it is like for other adoptees who have also been placed into foster care andor adopted into families of completely different backgrounds. My late biological maternal grandmother (of Menominee Indian Native American ancestry) made the decision to voluntary give me up for adoption by the late 80s and I was eventually adopted by an interracial American couple (my late adoptive mother was a non-Hispanic Caucasian woman with partial Cherokee Indian and French ancestry while my late adoptive father was of Mexican and Aztec Indian heritage). Fortunately by the 2012/2013 timeframe, I was able to hear the side of the story directly from my late maternal biological grandmother on why she voluntary gave me up for adoption. Additionally, I am lucky to not have to go through similar circumstances as a multiple number of profiles featured in some of the following stories: one woman mentions about some diaries that her adoptive mother kept and how this indirectly affected her, a woman placed with a new family some time after her biological mother’s death, another woman admitted to being raised in a loving family however she was candid on how being adopted by the couple her and her sister were placed with indirectly affected the cultures she was raised with, another person featured admitted that they might have been aware by the time they were around 4 years old that they were adopted, the extensive ordeal another adoptee went through trying to find information on her biological mother and the psychological conflict that she understandably felt around this relating to remembering her late adoptive mother as being very loving towards her, and of course more stories are featured within this kindlebook.
Insightful and Relatable In Certain Ways
This kindlebook Memoirs Of A Former Fatty How One Girl Went From Fat To Fit by Gemma Dale shares info involving the author being forthright on how she felt before she went on to achieve success with some of her bodyweight and fitness endeavors. Some of the details the author included: a few of the ways the New Year’s Eve 2011 was an important catalyst point for the author, circumstances around the author’s beginning utilization of My Fitness Pal, the author’s reference to preparing to run half marathons, some of the circumstances that occurred when the author chose to partake in the Race For Life 5K, the time that the author went to Denmark to take place in a Corporate 25k relay challenge with colleagues from the Nordics, the significance of July 12, 2015, a previous experience in early 2015 of a personal training company aligned to a gym that the author was part of that was offering a free 30 minute taster session, what happened when the author chose to sign up for a 10 mile run, and more.
Illuminating Time Magazine feature
I admit that I actually spotted this Time magazine Secrets of Success at my current job/place of employment and I purchased it both out of curiosity to increase my knowledge and awareness related to the magazine’s theme and to expand my awareness of others ideas of success (due the obvious that the definition of success is going to differ from person to person for instance I do feel comfortable admitting that I do equate part of success to having a certain amount of money savings and having a place to belong whether it is via a spiritual organization andor place of volunteering). However, I do understand that other readers may have different ideas about success especially if they pertain to friends, family, health etc. Anyhow, the following encouraging ideas are included in this magazine: being a partner in someone’s achievement, the impact of birth order, strategies to boost confidence, the benefits of making oneself ready to have a mentor (obviously regardless of how long this may take to occur), and more.
Regardless If You Are A Novice or Long Time Viewer…
Luckily, I obtained the chance/opportunity to purchase Season 27 of Diners Drivers & Dives featuring Guy Fieri by July 2 2020 via Amazon. Season 27 of Diners Drivers & Dives featuring Guy Fieri is ideal to watch if you have ever watched andor enjoyed any previous episodes of Diners Drive-Ins & Dives. There are features of a kaleidoscope of different foods and places. An additional bonus I admit that I also enjoyed finding out about a place to consider that is a reasonable close distance to where my husband and I currently reside.
The following is my previous Amazon review of the Greatest Hits Volume 1 & Volume II by Billy Joel from September 10, 2020
Adventurous Music Yet Also…
September 10, 2020
This music collection of Greatest Hits Volume I & Volume II by Billy Joel features a multiple number of fascinating vintage pop and classic rock songs that span multiple stages of his music career: Scenes from An Italian Restaurant, Just The Way You Are,Movin Out (Anthony’s song), Only The Good Die Young, She’s Always A Woman To Me, My Life, Big Shot, Uptown Girl, You May Be Right, Tell Her About It etc. I confess that hearing the songs Tell Her About It and My Life indirectly influenced me to eventually purchase this collection although You May Be Right is also an illicit music pleasure for me to listen to, however there are a multiple number of other songs on this collection that are also classic and exquisite songs. It is best if you are previously familiar with at least some of Billy Joel’s songs to more thoroughly enjoy the collection, however even if you are a novice to his music you might still enjoy this collection if you are receptive to listening to 70s and 80s style vintage pop and classic rock with some of the energy of love songs mixed in.
The following is my previous Amazon review from August 8 2011 of Future Trance 45
“Energetic Trance”
August 8, 2011
“Future Trance 45″ is a unique musical compilation of various electronica musical tracks. My top three favorite songs in this cd are “7 days” by Megastylez, “Keep On Trying” by 2 Vibez, and “Heart to Heart” by Rob Mayth. “7 days” is a catchy dance tune about caring for someone constantly, and striving to give them your best in a relationship. “7 days” contains unique robot vocals and video game inspired music. “Keep on Trying” is a positive musical gem about persisting even in the face of adversity, and regardless of the behavior of others in your external environment. “Keep on Trying” sends a powerful message to also be emotionally strong, and find a way to transform obstacles into opportunity even when things may turn out differently than planned. “Heart to Heart” is a fun dance song about having feelings for someone, but deciding to stay silent unless the feelings are proven mutual. “Future Trance 45″ is great for anyone who enjoys electronica/dance compilations.
The following is my previous Amazon review from September 14, 2013 of Future Trance 63
Invigorating Music Triad
September 14, 2013
“Future Trance Vol. 63″ is a fantastic compilation of 60 musical tracks on 3 cds. “Hold Me Tight” by Addicted Craze, “Light Up The Night” by Gimbal & Sinan, and “Heaven In Disguise” by Trance Arts Feat. Hysteria are some of the quality songs that stir my soul. However, the following are some of the multiple musicians included on Future Trance Vol. 63 for various men and women into dance/trance music: DJ Shog, Cascada, Avicci, Nicky Romero, Zedd, Ryan Tedder, Afrojack, Keane, Calvin Harris, Florence Welch, Tiesto, Allure, Dennis Sheperd, Cold Blue, Ana Criado,Armin Van Buuren, Fiora, Rob Mayth, DJ Neo, Megastylez and many more. Currently, a complete music track and artist listing is available through Amazon Germany.
Marvelous 90s Love Song
I confess that it has been multiple years since I have heard this exquisite love song of I See Your Smile by Gloria Estefan (my best guess recollection is maybe I last heard this song either via radio andor tv by my teenage years). However for whatever reason this music gem unexpectedly played on my mind after one of my recent fitness walk for reasons I wish that I can understand more clearly andor quickly. I’m taking a wild guess that this song appears to be about strongly caring for someone romantically/strongly being in love with them even when other factors andor circumstances make it appear tricky to prove andor show that love more frequently andor bluntly with more evidence depending on the person andor circumstances.
Unique 90s Love Song
I have to credit recently hearing this music gem of Stars by Simply Red via unexpectedly hearing this song at my current place of employment. This was a surprise even to me because the last time I heard this one of a kind pop love song through the radio andor television was when I was stationed in Japan around the 2001 timeframe (through the navy ). Other than those times, I had the chance to hear it again after I purchased a various artists music collection around the summer/autumn 2001 timeframe that also contained the song (titled the Passion music compilation which was a music import) which was why hearing this interesting song on any radio was surely a fascinating surprise for me. This brilliant song Stars by Simply Red is a tragic love song however one of the multiple reasons on why this song is memorable is because of the music and lyrics put together in addition to the music protagonist musically painting an image of both telling their lover why they feel the way they do while also trying to express understanding of what the other person went through.
A Powerful Type of Connection Song?
I have luckily known about this gem of a song I’m Into You by Jennifer Lopez feat. Lil Wayne since around the 2009/2010 timeframe. The music collaboration gives added distinctive life to the song, this song appears to be about some type of intense love.
Intriguing 80s Song
All I Need Is A Miracle by Mike & The Mechanics is a classic 80s love song that appears to be remembering a particular person fondly. The music and lyrics combine gloriously together to create a song that appears to leave circumstances open-ended between the person that is remembered fondly and the protagonist of the song missing the person they are remembering fondly.
Liberating Type of Song
I admit that I have became aware of this bold rock song of A Warrior’s Call by Volbeat strictly via online formats and I have found this song entertaining and motivational to listen to. The music and lyrics blend seamlessly together to create an empowering type of energy song.
Push The Envelope Type of Creative Song
Fortunately I actually first heard this amusing Dangerous Woman song by Ariana Grande by around the May 2016/June 2016 timeframe via both online and radio station format. For whatever reason this song was recently playing on my mind and I have yet to figure out why because Ariana Grande has a multiple other fascinating songs to also listen to. Regardless this fun song combines dance and R&B energy to create a very bold push the limits type of melody.
Racy 90s Classic
I admit that I am previously familiar with this risqué song of How Do You Want It by Tupac (ft. KC JoJo) from hearing this song during my teenage years either through radio andor television. However I admit that I recently remembered this song for some reason after someone wearing a Tupac shirt recently came up to me via a friendly social interaction paying me a compliment in a respectful way. Anyhow the music collaboration featuring multiple musicians in the song and the club/hip-hop make this interesting song to listen to.
Jolting In A Good Way
This dynamic Wait A Minute My Girl by Volbeat appears to be a cheery type of rock love song where the music narrator appears to encourage their intended target to be a part of their life (just a wild guess). Either way this song is amusing to listen to.
The following is my previous Amazon review from July 4, 2013 of Let Me Be The One by Expose via a past experiment involving a different name account though ever since after January 2015 I have chosen to stick with utilizing my first and last name for my amazon reviewing profile
Making A Case To Be Someone’s Lover
July 4, 2013
“Let Me Be The One” appears to be a passionate musical track regarding vying for another’s romantic affections. The singing and music video are superb. The person singing the song also appears to communicate the message that they are really in love with whoever they are singing about.
The following is my previous Amazon review from April 19, 2014 of Best Days of My Life by American Authors
Emotionally Pleasing Melody
April 19. 2014
“Best Day Of My Life” by American Authors is both a heartwarming and cheerful tune that symbolizes the expectancy of a day that is going to go by smoothly and brightly. “Best Day Of My Life” combines folk rock melodies with poppy beats.
Subtle blend of squash flavors
I admit that I decided to take a chance on trying this Wolfgang Puck 14.5 ounce squash soup after seeing a particular sale on it at my current place of employment. The soup tasted better than I imagined for squash soup and being easily microwaveable.
My husband and I mutually agreed to order from this Five Boroughs location in Norfolk Virginia via grubhub. We both chose orders of the Five Boroughs kabob platter which came with lamb beef and chicken meat the pickles and hummus in the platters were also delish. Our order was received in a reasonable timeframe from a polite driver and fortunately we both enjoyed our food.
On my recent visit to this Sweet Frog location in Norfolk Virginia I had a tasty mashup of cake batter frozen yogurt, some chocolate frozen yogurt, very strawberry frozen yogurt with honey and hersheys sauce and some oreo flavor yogurt with andes thin mint toppings, pecan toppings, coconut toppings and some poundcake toppings. My toppings and frozen yogurt were weighed on a scale and the employee handling my order was very friendly.

The Power Of Enduring Friendship And….
This film Like A Boss featuring the characters of Mia Carter (Tiffany Haddish) Mel Page (Rose Byrne) who have a very strong and close friendship and own a beauty company together. Mia Carter and Mel Page have a tight knit working group with their employees Sydney (Jennifer Coolidge) and Barrett (Billy Porter). Mia Carter and Mel Page get presented with what appears to be a potential life changing opportunity when the character of Josh Tinker (Karan Soni) approaches the two women about a lucrative option being presented to them on behalf of Tinker’s boss Claire Luna (Salma Hayek). This happens at an interesting time because Mel Page and Mia Carter also have interactions with their other friends Jill (Natasha Rothwell), Kim (Jessica St. Clair), and Angela (Ari Graynor) that indirectly color their perception of how they are doing in their career and money life. Like A Boss gives some clues that foreshadow the element of competition that both women must juggle in addition to their friendship when they are also introduced to Ron (Jimmy O Yang) and Greg (Ryan Hansen) who also have their own beauty business together as friends. The characters of Shay Whitmore (Lisa Kudrow), Harry (Jacob Latimore), Lola (Veronica Jo Merrell) and Layla (Vanessa Jo Merrell) are among some of the other characters that feature in the Like A Boss film in certain key plots (listed from the Wikipedia site).
Trials And Tribulations Involving Money/Career
This Price Check film features the characters of Susan Felders (Parker Posey), Pete Cozy (Eric Mabius), Sara Cozy (Anna Parisse) and the following other characters in the Price Check film: Lila (Amy Schumer), Jim Brady (Matt Servitto), Cartwright (Stephen Kunken), Ernie (Cheyenne Jackson), Eddie (Chakrabarti), Todd Kenner (Remy Auberjonois), Bennington (Edward Hermann), Doug Cain (Josh Pais) etc. The beginning of the Price Check film shows the character of Pete Cozy receiving vital news that is going to dramatically indirectly affect the circumstances of him and his wife Sara Cozy. Pete Cozy then realizes that his life has the potential to change even further after Susan Felders offers him a career and money opportunity that would be far from easy to pass up. The character of Susan Felders is portrayed in both a good and far from good light when some of her career achievements are discussed showing how both her talent and ambition have paid off, however Felders abrasive side is also foreshadowed in her treatment of certain male employees at the beginning of the film. To be fair, Posey is just playing with careful craft her role of Susan Felders and vital plot glimpses are given when it is shown how it is determined which employees get to stay longer at a particular company and which ones may have to find new career pastures regardless of how ready they might be. The ending of Price Check is definitely different from what I expected however I found both the film and the conclusion of Price Check better than I expected.
Vibrant Disney film
This Raya and The Last Dragon film has colorful elements of multiple factions of land consisting of different groups in a mythical type of world. This version of Raya and The Last Dragon has bonus content and themes connecting to unity.
Magnetic Singing Voice However
I admit that when I pre-ordered The Chemtrails Over The Country Club music collection by Lana Del Rey around January 22, 2021 via Amazon the Let Me Love You Like A Woman song was one of the tracks that indirectly influenced my purchasing/buying decision. This Chemtrails Over The Country Club is more of a grower type of music collection because the music has more of a quiet type of vibe on this collection which is especially showcased in the beginning of the album with White Dress and the concluding For Free. I still feel getting this collection is worth it because her terrific singing voice, I just wish that there were more love songs on Chemtrails Over The Country Club (regardless if the love songs are happy or the opposite of blissful andor about an angelic type of lover or the complete opposite of a kind person).
Song Pertaining To Rollercoaster Emotions
Diet Mountain Dew by Lana Del Rey brilliantly showcases Lana Del Rey’s creatively pushing the envelope with what appears to be a song about the music narrator who cares about someone who does a number on their heart metaphorically speaking. Diet Mountain Dew masterfully combines indie dance and chillout music elements.
Glass Half Full Type Of Song
This song Three Little Birds by Bob Marley happened to be playing when I was recently walking into one of my preferred convenience stores that I go to in my free time and this indirectly influenced my decision to obtain this song and listen it to some more. This song appears to be an empowering theme of believing and knowing that life circumstances can improve andor get better even more.
Happy Sunny Pop Song
This blissful pop song that is Cover Me In Sunshine by Pink and Willow Sage Hart appears to have an optimistic type of energy of focusing on the good times in one’s life (from the lyrics). The music goes perfectly with the theme of Cover Me In Sunshine.
Magnificent Music Collaboration Involving Brandy & Monica
In The Case of many other music listeners, I have actually fortunately known about the existence of The Boy is Mine by Brandy & Monica since the 90s hearing this song from either the radio andor television. Basically this song appears to be about two people vying for the affection andor love of one person apparently trying to reason with each other why the other person is more favored. For those completely new to this catchy song you might also like this song if you have heard of and enjoyed Beautiful Liar by Beyonce & Shakira and/or Can’t Remember To Forget You by Shakira feat. Rihanna.
Motivational 2021 Song
This Starting Now song by Brandy has an uplifting type of energy that appears to be reaching for broader horizons in life. This song has a sunny type of pop/dance energy. I admit that I became aware of the existence of this song after hearing on a radio station that Brandy was releasing a new song connected to Disney and I might have also glimpsed a similar listing of this song somewhere online.
The Pros and Caveats of Having Unique Talents/Powers
This kindlebook of The Girl With Silver Eyes by Willo Davis Roberts touches on a story of a character with one of a kind powers. Additionally,circumstances are explained of the influences on the character by her grandparents compared to her parents.
Cheery Indie Love Song
I admit that my husband definitely had an indirect influence on why I first became aware and receptive and listening to this upbeat Indie love song of Home by Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros somewhere between 2 to 3 years ago. The lyrics appear to paint a heartwarming love story of how a couple in love grew closer together.

The following is my previous Amazon review of Classic by The Knocks feat. Powers from February 6, 2019
Sounds Like A Happy Go Lucky Type of Song
February 6, 2019
I admit that I have known about this one of a kind and uplifting/summery vibe song that is Classic by The Knocks feat. Powers around the late 2016/early 2017 timeframe because of my subscription to Amazon music. My husband enjoy various songs with our music subscription and this cheery song would play from time to time because of the mix of music that we both enjoy listening to. Naturally, I eventually put this song in my Amazon music library and I found myself enjoying the song more often each time I heard it. For whatever reason, this happy summery song unexpectedly played in my mind. Classic by The Knocks feat. Powers is enjoyable to listen to if you are an eclectic music listener andor like indie rock music.
The following is my previous Amazon review from April 11, 2016 of Give Me Your Love by Sigala feat. Nile Rodgers & John Newman
Bold Yet Dazzling At The Same Time
April 11, 2016
The song Give Me Your Love by Sigala feat. John Newman & Nile Rodgers appears to be a dance/club song where the singer admits to someone of how they feel in an expressive way and lays it out that they would like their feelings reciprocated. Obviously, a person would have to proceed with caution if they ever tried telling someone else (if not in an implied relationship) this command of Give Me Your Love in real-life unless they are sure of how the other person feels. Nonetheless, Give Me Your Love by Sigala feat. John Newman & Nile Rodgers is a striking club tune.
The following is my previous Amazon review from January 3, 2016 of Possum Kingdom by the Toadies and I obviously realize now that the meaning of what I thought the song was is probably obviously different from the actual meaning, however I admit that I still find this song catchy to listen to, an illicit music pleasure
Strong Guitars Complex Meaning
January 3, 2016
Possum Kingdom by the Toadies is one of the rock songs that I first heard (via both radio and television) around the time I was 15 years old. I admit that, up until today, I truthfully thought that Possum Kingdom may have been more of a type of song about two people meeting up in secret, maybe romantically but in a harm-free intent. However, looking up the meaning of the song online, I’m still trying to reconcile someone else’s interpretation with me liking the song, but I still plan on keeping this song in my storytelling arsenal.
The following is my previous Amazon review from January 28, 2011 of Independent Women Part 1 by Destiny’s Child
A Good Song About Empowerment
January 28, 2011
This is a very catchy and inspirational tune on what it means to be self-reliant. I remember the song when it first came out because it was being promoted for the newer version of the Charlie’s Angels Movie (Charlie’s angels is even quoted in the song). I like the positive theme to the song about learning to always be independent in all areas of your life, and of it being 50/50 in relationships. The song sends a positive message to avoid depending on others to give you what you want, and to instead find ways to obtain your desires through your own means (the group cleverly does this by using lyrics such as “the shoes on my feet, I bought it”, and with mentioning how they even paid for the place they live in). This is also a good song to listen to for putting oneself in a prosperous state of mind. Overall, this is definitely a song to listen to if you like any of Beyonce’s songs and/or any music from Destiny’s Child
This past Tuesday evening, my husband and I utilized Grubhub to order food from the Norfolk Virginia location of Osaka Ramen & Sushi (in the area near Old Dominion University). The driver who delivered the food did so in a timely manner and had a pleasant personality. My husband found his dish tasty and I luckily also enjoyed our food. The food order consisted of the following items: gyoza, curry rice, tuna cocktail, Osaka sushi roll and b magic sushi roll.
I admit that I recently went to this Norfolk Virginia location of Suntrust for some essential tasks I had to take care of involving some of the money that I have in my Suntrust account. The good news: a person can go through the driveup during certain business hours to take of certain essential tasks (money orders for rent, money deposits involving checks) and each time I go luckily I have a friendly employee helping with my queries plus the atm machines available for outside use are easy to utilize. The caveat: the inside lobby at this location may only be accessible during certain hours depending on if you make an appointment andor if an employee might spot you near the door. However I am still glad that this location is available for now because it is a reasonable close distance to where my husband and I currently reside.
