  • Earth Day Fun

    April 22 is Earth Day and a fun way to celebrate is walking challenges that help the planet.

  • Marked Safe

    By Andrea Menzies

    Marked Safe! Whenever I see the Media make a huge deal out of a trivia fact I wonder what huge  scandal a PR firm was hired to cover-up?

  • Reality Ahead

    By Andrea Menzies

    Oh so true. Spring Break is flying by for me, and Monday will be a shock for sure.

  • Best Video

    Best Video

    By Andrea Menzies

    This is my best video from the VNV Nation Electric Sun Tour concert. If you are anywhere near this tour you must go! They are a staple at Goth clubs in Seattle, but are Top 40 on radio overseas. Ronan Harris the lead singer got his eye hurt by a bright video light before this clip. He cussed at the video person. Then Ronan said. “Sorry but I am Irish and for us cussing is like punctuation!” I am from an Irish family too, and I can verify that this is freaking true. Sorry for the image quality but I was energetically dancing with joy the entire show. My legs are so sore it was like a million aerobic classes in one night, but so worth it. I love Silver Springs, MD and want to move there the show was so good.

  • Away Week

    By Andrea Menzies

    Any week where I get time away from Virginia is a good week. I have hated Virginia with all my soul, and am saving every penny with extra jobs to move away from the sewage pit.

  • Not Rare

    By Andrea Menzies

    Many teachers are working as teachers and bus drivers in Virginia, and it is not rare. Here is a good article on the topic. Note the person interviewed for the article must be a supervisor, and not a normal teacher. They make WAY more than me.

  • Not On Bridge

    By Andrea Menzies

    I was not on the bridge, and am safe. I often go to concerts in the DC, and Baltimore area. Many people therefore have asked me about it and no I have many issues but thankfully bridge death is not one. I wish the best for the sick and injured that were not so lucky.
