5.0 out of 5 stars Themes For An Elite MovieJune 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.

Price: $12.79
215 used & new from $0.01

5.0 out of 5 stars Fashionable Music CollectionJune 20, 2015
Robert Altman’s Pret-A-Porter Ready To Wear music collection has a strong musical assortment of eclectic music. I am previously familiar with Lemon by U2 and Here Comes The Hotstepper by Ini Kamoze from radio airplay (as well as television feature) from my teenage years. However, there are also other additional catchy songs on this soundtrack that are from artists such as Janet Jackson, The Rolling Stones, The Cranberries, CeCe Peniston, The M People, Trence D’Arby etc. There is even a good remake of the classic hit These Boots Are Made for Walking by Sam Phillips (as I’m guessing a musical tribute nod to Nancy Sinatra). However, this movie soundtrack of Robert Altman’s Pret-A-Porter Ready To Wear music collection is great for those who enjoy fashion themed movies and/or eclectic music by various artists.

5.0 out of 5 stars Velvety and Candy Peppermint Like TasteJune 20, 2015
I admit that I only found out about this product after seeing it at my job. Also, I know that this Snack Pack Swiss Mint Cocoa Pudding Cups (Pack of 4)(4qty of 3.25 ounces each or 13 ounces) is actually meant to technically be a winter item. However, the peppermint like taste of this edition of this mint cocoa pudding makes it perfect as an everyday snack item.

I was actually looking up some inspiring articles on late bloomers less than a few hours before unintentionally coming across this Business Insider article. However, it was therapeutic for me to come across this link on 24 people who became highly successful after age 30 (via Business Insider).

A late bloomer article (via Psychology Today I’m charmed to have come across before seeing a Business Insider link on late bloomers.

Undocumented UC San Diego student waves Mexican flag at graduation, unfurls controversy
By Matthew T. Hall1:30 P.M.JUNE 18, 2015

I now take a position on the matter because there have been multiple times that I have been confused for a foreigner when I’m actually a U.S. born citizen as was my late biological mother and my maternal grandmother (both are registered on the Menominee Indian tribal rolls in Wisconsin). Although I do not speak much Spanish,I can also claim part Puerto Rican heritage as well as Menominee Indian heritage from my biological mother’s side, however how much  Puerto Rican and other racial percentages I’m currently not sure because there is not concrete proof as to who my biological father was (I found out that my possible biological father might have had 2 heritages because his mother was a black woman from Alabama while his father was Puerto Rican but there is not definitive proof of my biological father (due to the controversial truth that my late biological mother was a prostitute when she was alive). However, as an American female, I do not see anything anti-American and/or malicious with what this woman (Indira Esparza) did, just someone showing pride in her Mexican heritage. Additionally, even though I may owe on student loans, I do not see anything evil with the fact that Indira Esparza is an undocumented immigrant who knew how to wisely take advantage of getting her college education paid for without student loans and can now get her Master’s degree with little worry as to paying for college while being free from worrying about student loans.

BOOM! ‘The Donald’ Has Arrived With a BIG Plan for Illegal Immigrants

This article was obviously some time before Donald Trump confirmed that he is in fact running for President in 2016 for sure. Even if Trump wins the presidency in 2016, I do believe there is little chance that he is going to be able to reduce illegal immigration (even as a Republican President due to powerful interests that thrive on illegal immigration). It is common knowledge that there are stories of immigrants going through harsh extremes and even death just to come live here in the U.S. (not just Latin America, but from other countries as well).  I do not know how prevalent illegal immigration is in places such as Canada, Australia, and New Zealand due to the obvious media coverage being more prevalent about the U.S. here in the U.S.  All I do know is that the close proximity to the border between the U.S. and Mexico is why I can easily see why many poor people would want to risk everything just to come here. I also do not favor getting rid of the birthright citizenship amendment because it would keep out wealthy families that would help strengthen the American company. Additionally, I see that American society still places strong emphasis on women becoming mothers and I do not feel that immigrant women and/or their children deserve to be deported back to their home countries for becoming mothers (regardless of how many children they have). Rather, I feel that a more humane solution would be to allow an immigrant woman from another country to have U.S. welfare and/or foodstamp benefits for the first five children that she has (until they are 18), but that she would still get paid for just five children even if she has a sixth child or more babies. This would help ensure that there are abundant government funds to go around for American women who already have six children or more. I do feel that a humane policy needs to be put in place that would help illegal immigrants have incentive to come out of the shadows and go for citizenship (such as less wait for citizenship for men and women who are willing to contribute at least  $50,000 or more towards buying a house and/or paying taxes of a certain amount after at least 7 to 10 years of living in the U.S. regardless of their education level and even if they are working a minimum wage job).  A government benefit to provide increased tax breaks to companies that hire a certain number of American citizens and immigrants would help decrease the risk of American citizens getting displaced for minimum wage jobs when it comes to the illegal immigration issue.  Please understand that I love America, I’m proud to be born an American female and am not anti-American. My beliefs happen to come from adoptive parents who taught me to be open-minded towards people of different races (My adoptive father is an American citizen of Aztec Indian and Mexican heritage while my late adoptive mother was a Caucasian woman with traces of French and Cherokee Indian heritage). I just felt the need to speak up because I feel that some resentment towards illegal immigrants stems from classism more than racism (a secret hostility towards men and women who come from the lower financial socio-economic classes both American born U.S. citizens and poor people from countries outside of the U.S.). Additionally, yes the U.S.A. may not have had an immigration policy in place (back during the 1600’s and 1700’s)when many European settlers decided to call many areas of the U.S. home that were previously inhabited by various groups of Native Americans (the Sioux, Iroquois, etc.). However, although my viewpoint may cost me some second job opportunities, this part Menominee Indian female does not see any reason why immigration (illegal or legal) must be halted when the beginning history of the U.S. (both in the 1600’s and 1700’s time period) was shaped by men and women immigrating from different parts of Europe to what is now the United States.

I actually saw this story featured on the grio news website featured yesterday. I will share the grio news website link in a few seconds. However, as others have noted, there was little reason for a mother to encourage her child to hurt another innocent little girl over dressing as one of the princesses(Queen Elsa) from the Frozen movie. Hopefully the mother (Rachel Muir) and her daughter Samara Muir will get an abundance of emotional support both internationally and in their home base of Australia where this happened. I will also list the Daily Mail link that she knows connects it with.

The Party And Celebration Life of Valentina Carnegie

I’m fortunate to have so many stories that are growing inside of me. I understand that anyone can borrow this information since I did not copyright the story. However, I felt guided to start sharing at least some of the stories that I plan to write both as a way of opening myself up to the writing world regardless of whether I get published or not and to satisfy and intuitive curiosity that I have. Of course, some stories I would keep out of the public eye and publish under a username. However, this is one of the stories that something in me felt encouraged to share.

The Party And  Celebration Life of Valentina Carnegie

Valentina Carnegie is 25 years old, stands 5 feet and 6 inches and weighs 125 pounds. She is always at a different party or celebration each month due to her charisma in being able to relate and understand others. However, she does march to the beat of her own drum such as looking at all of the horoscopes for the day in her local newspaper, other times other publications and/or other online media and choosing which sign (S)to go by for the day, only because she believes it is important to be careful in taking a horoscope as gospel and influencing your reality (due to her awareness that written horoscopes and even articles in the media contain hidden subliminal messages0. However, Valentina has now learned to work these messages to her advantage and is wise to keep in mind that you cannot always believe everything you read (this is where her intuition and discernment come in handy). Anyhow, Valentina Carnegie has naturally red, blonde, and black hair that cascades down to her ankles. Valentina is multiracial but only knows for sure what racial ethnicities she inherited from her biological mother and maternal grandmother. This is due to the fact that her late biological mother was a highly sought after prostitute during her lifetime and there is no proof that she ever married or stayed with any man past the 5-6 year mark, although there are rumors that there might have been a few men who came close such as Valentina’s purported father, but there is little proof of his paternity. Valentina Carnegie’s accomplishments and jobs have enabled her to now rub elbows with the rich and famous. Valentina is not married,lives in Alexandria Virginia, and currently juggles three boyfriends who are all accomplished and educated in their own right. One boyfriend works as an event planner for an upscale hotel in the Washington D.C. area and has a bachelor’s degree from Georgetown University, another boyfriend has a master’s degree from American University and works in the naval reserve as a cook. The naval reserve cook lives in Norfolk Virginia and also does catering in both the Norfolk Virginia area and for certain events within the Washington D.C. area. He strives to visit Valentina at least twice a month, but no less than once every two months and treats her like a princess, and even calls her twice a week (more than Valentina’s local boyfriends). Valentina Carnegie’s third boyfriend has a Ph.D. degree from George Washington University. For a while he worked in public relations, but decided to become a government contractor. The Ph.D. boyfriend is a player and Valentina knows it. However, she is having too much fun juggling three boyfriends that she cares about at once. The only boyfriend currently not playing the field is her naval reserve boyfriend, partially because he does not have as much time to play around as her other two boyfriends.  Valentina Carnegie is blessed to have four close friends throughout the Washington D..C. area and is in the process of making more friends. However, she also has to overcome the jugement of others in the pursuit of doing so. Four of these women have publicly made their feelings known and are slightly jealous of someone that they feel is intellectually inferior to them doing much better in life than they are. Little do  they know that Valentina’s psychic powers are increasing by the day and her imagination powers, which help power her connection o her higher self, heaven, and gives her ideas on how to manifest money for herself even when things at first seemed stacked against her. Anyhow, one of the women that are jealous of Valentina Carnegie is in her late 40’s approaching her early 50’s/ I’ll name this woman number 2Echo, you would think number 2 echo would be secretly jealous of no one because woman number 2 echo lives of the proceeds from her career in the entertainment industry and juggles 3 lovers as well. 2 echo is jealous of Valentina because she has to now share the spotlight with her. Another woman who I will call 2delta use to be Valentina’s psychic. 2delta is jealous because Valentina has figured out how to get men to accept her for who she is while 2 delta has to pay out good money for the type of men that Valentina attracts for free (yes 2 delta has has male escorts before to play the role of 2 delta’s boyfriend). There are 2 other women who have also publicly threw shade at Valentina due to their jealousy of her. They are secretly jealous that Valentina has managed to buy 2 paid for houses with cash in the Northern Virginia area despite Valentina only having a bachelor’s degree from a non-prestigious but non-profit college and a 2 year associate degree from a Virginia Community Colllege (it was actually the 2 year degree from the Virginia Community College that helped Valentina get to where she is now professionally and not her bachelor’s yeah I know kind of ironic huh). Anyhow, the 2 women boast more prestigious educational credentials than Valentina and even got impressive headstarts with good high paying jobs, however it is because of the type o mortages they took out on their homes in Northern Virginia instead of paying for their homes in cash when they had the chance. Valentina is blessed and lucky to have one paid for home in Alexandria Virginia and a second paid for home between the Woodbridge and Manassas Virginia area. Valentina Carnegie’s success also comes from the knowledge that she has gained since learning how to travel to heavenly and higher realms of spiritual light during her sleep. Valentina is also being blessed with a connection to her higher self as well as connection to higher heavenly forces of spiritual light. You see Valentina is connected to am abundance of spirit guides, guardian angels, and ascended masters who bless her with information that directly connects her with her higher self and vast network of celestial spiritual allies and family members in the heavenly realms who accept her as she is and sees the beauty in her spirit.  You can basically say that Valentina Carnegie has friendsin spiritual high places. Valentina often references information from youtube, secrets of success and prosperity book by Sharon klinger and Sandra taylor, spirit guides and guardian angels by Richard webster, and what she remembers from the Hiring the Heavens Book by Jean Slatter that allows her to hold meetins with her spirit allies in both her sleep and during her meditations. The book Possession, Depossession, and Divine Relationships by Diana Paxson has helped teach Valentina Carnegie to take on the qualities of Isis-Egyptian priestess to enhance her imagination powers and intuition while helping her ground herself in the earth based realities of making money in alignment with what her higher self intends for her. For instance, a mediation meeting with Isis helped her locate an purchase the home around the area of woodbridge and manassas that was also attracting the interest of at least 4 other buyers who have greater prodigious wealth and education to their names.
