This is so SAD! My previous blog was about the tornado that ripped through Parkersburg, Iowa, now Iowans are facing catastrophic floods happening in Cedar Rapids, Iowa City and Coralville. These are all communities I have grown up around. I hope and pray, mother nature ends this violent weather in the upper Midwest and soon. Please, say a prayer for my family, friends, and those who have lost their homes, property, and businesses after the deadly tornado's and floods of 2008!

EF5 Tornado hits extremely close to my hometown
On Sunday, May 25, 2008 (Memorial Weekend) an EF5 Tornado tore through a small town about a 1/2 hour from where I originally grew up. The winds were clocked at 220 miles per hour. The strongest on the fujita scale. My thoughts and prayers go out to all the victims of this terrible tragedy

How was your weekend?
Mine was not as bad as Memorial Weekend, but there were nights involving drunk pub crawls. Also, I saw The Visitor and Sex and The City over the weekend. Both excellant films. And now I leave you a video montage my favorite British Comedy. No body does it better than Ab Fab. Enjoy

173 days of marriage equality?
Dear Friends,
Do you want to live in a country that legalizes discrimination? Despite the recent California Supreme Court decision that denying same-sex couples the right to marry is unconstitutional, efforts are underway throughout the country to take away rights from same-sex couples.
I just joined thousands of others in showing my support for marriage equality for all. But recently, proponents of bigotry and hate collected even more signatures in an attempt to invalidate the California Supreme Court decision. And they won't stop with California—extremists are even trying to add a same-sex marriage ban to the U.S. Constitution.
We are at a turning point in our nation's history and I'm hoping you'll join me in standing up against discrimination. Please sign the Million for Marriage petition and get us one name closer to showing that Americans overwhelmingly support marriage equality!

Every committed couple deserves to enjoy the privileges and responsibilities conferred by marriage. Add your name to the petition and be a part of the movement to fight for marriage equality for all.
Thank you!

Chicago...My Kind of City
Just returned from a long wonderful weekend in the beautiful windy city. I've been to Chicago several times and it is one of my favorite cities in North America. Every time I return I end up missing it so much.
I often here people refer to it as "Chicago, my kind of town", well, this is no town, it's a World Class city. If you've never been, I really suggest checking it out. If it wasn't for the freezing cold winters, I would entertain the thought of relocating back to the Midwest.
Riding the EL, or L as some would say, is always a treat as well with all the great sites, shopping, and dining Chicago has to offer. Seriously, fours days is never enough time for me. You need at least a week to see what this exciting city has to offer! Hope you enjoy the video, I've included...

How about some humor instead of all this negative vibe lately
I just love this video skit. It's from Mad TV a couple years a go.
Jersey Gurls on Spring Break. Sack waxing and Orca? Oy Vey...Enjoy!
