As I’m sure you’ve heard, the movie Tropic Thunder received much hype in the media because of several controversies. Part of this hype is a normal side effect of a movie’s release – spin doctors go to work; sometimes even people who are associated with the movie spread their own rumors because there’s a saying that goes, […]
There are some really busy railroad tracks that run along the north border of the town where I live. There are basically 3 roads that go out of town to the north; only one of which has an overpass for the tracks so cars don’t have to stop for every train that passes by. This

I love animals… all animals, even ones I’m afraid of like frogs. I can honestly say I would not want to see harm come to a frog even though I don’t like them. I really love cats, even though I’m allergic to them. When I was growing up, I always wanted a cat, so as
