Why am I making a post about pizza? Well maybe because, I LOVE PIZZA! What would my perfect type of pizza be? Well a pizza called a pizza margherita. What is a pizza margherita? Well, thanks to noble Queen Margherita of Savoy sometime in 1889, craved a new dish called 'pizza'. People started to question her, since they thought pizza was more of a peasant dish. But she wanted it anyway, so a chef made three pizzas for her, and the third one, my favorite, was the Margherita's favorite. The pizza has tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella and basil. It was the three colors of the Italian flag, and that's maybe another reason why the queen loved it. I always thought that since I love pizza margherita, I might have been Queen Margherita of Savoy in a past life, and I think I was.
I've been through so many pizzerias in my day, and tried many pizzas, and believe me, I still have more to go. Haven't been to New Haven's known pizzerias like Sally's Apizza and Frank Pepe's. I haven't tried Lombardi's, the first licensed pizzeria. I like New York style pizza a lot better than Chicago style. Chicago style is just too doughy for me. I admit that sometimes I'll order a pan pizza at pizza hut, however, I don't care much for those pizzas anymore. Now a days. I make homemade pizza, and it is good. Well that's all I wanted to say. Till then, Ciao bloggers, and pray for Haiti and the gulf waters!

Unkonwn- Poem
Not known in the world,
not knowing who you are,
Afraid to know who you want to be,
Afraid to be known,
Afraid to face challenges in life,
I'm unknown,
and I want to know,
If I am capable,
of knowing,
my greatest challenge in life,
who am I,
I am unknown,
to most,
but myself,
I want to be heard,
I want to be known,
I want to tell the world,
who I am,
what I am capable of doing,
and for once,
tell the world I am ready,
for any challenges,
not knowing who you are,
Afraid to know who you want to be,
Afraid to be known,
Afraid to face challenges in life,
I'm unknown,
and I want to know,
If I am capable,
of knowing,
my greatest challenge in life,
who am I,
I am unknown,
to most,
but myself,
I want to be heard,
I want to be known,
I want to tell the world,
who I am,
what I am capable of doing,
and for once,
tell the world I am ready,
for any challenges,
they throw at me

Antique Roadshow
I love this one show I see on PBS. It's called 'Antique Roadshow' A bunch of people from many places all over America, bring there junk over, and tell historians that work there all about it. Where they got it, and how much it would be worth to them. Some of them are completely surprised finding out their items might be worth over $100,000. One person brought in a blanket that was made by a Navajoes tribe and stunned the historian when he brought it to him. It was worth over $350,000.
I look around my house, and I don't see much stuff that would be worth over $100,000. Who knows. But there are some stuff in my house that can worth some money. Like for instance. There is this one painting in our den with horses on them, and my parents had that painting for a long time. Another is some Winnie the Pooh books my cousin Chris gave me when I was born. Some stuff that might be worth a bit of money would be in our basement. Like some book holders that are to worth maybe $100 dollars who knows. It's depicts of an old man and old woman. I think my Nana might have given it to us I don't know. My Nana and papa both gave my parents after they were married. It's a clock that barley works, but it could be worth something. It doesn't mean I'm going to find out on an episode of 'Antique Roadshow' if it ever came to Philly. I mean, well...
I treasure the things I have now, and the things I have to come. This would be the only PBS show I want to watch. I love history, and it fascinates me how the historians are always right with detail knowing how the piece was made or who made it. It just fascinates me, and that's why I love this show. Till then...

Hot as Hell!
I've been dealing with this heat in Pennsylvania, and it is unbearable! Why? Because we might be getting a storm worse than the one we had in June. It has been over 100 degrees and it's not healthy for me at all.
I just wish we had one summer with very perfect, not hot, weather, where we can have picnics, enjoy a relaxing day at the pool, and maybe see fireworks go off at night. Even enjoying the beach without the sand burning our feet.
But believe me, when it is winter, we will be wishing for this heat. Stay cool and Ciao Bloggers!

The Storm of 6/24
First off, I was at the doctors when this happened. When we got outside, my mom and me, and we saw a very dark sky. I thought to myself, 'OK another thunderstorm on the way' but this was not a normal thunderstorm. This one was very, very, scary.
We got in the car and started driving home. My mom replies that we were going to be getting some wind, and all of the sudden, a piece of something, that looked like a rocked, hit the windshield, passenger side. I was so scared, I almost had a heart attack, no kidding. The rain started getting heavier as the sky started getting grayer. Happily, we got home safe, only to see a big branch on a tree next to our deck, started cracking and decided to fall to the ground, still holding on to the tree. Our deck was OK, but what we also saw was across the street at our neighbor's backyard, two huge trees, came down and landed on the backyard, and destroyed a fence. Happily to say, no one was hurt. But it was like a huge storm, or possibly a tiny tornado, touched down and destroyed everything in its path. We were without power for the rest of the day, and just got it back on about six hours ago. I'm very happy that we, not only got our power back on, but also survived this. At least I didn't have to work. I doubt I would have anyway. Mostly all of West Chester lost power for almost a whole day. Some people go their power back on that night, but not us, or any of our neighbors. So I decided to read some stories by candlelight and fell asleep, hoping that when I woke up, the power would be back on.
But I've been watching the news on line to see what the damage was everywhere else. I don't know if anyone lost their lives, but many people lost their homes, their cars, their electricity and their tress. This is the type of weather we would see in August, not June, not even for July. Let's hope and pray that we never have to deal with another horrible storm like that. Till then, Ciao Bloggers.

Poem: KAI
Small hands,
small feet,
tiny eyes,
opened to a world,
new to him, but old to us,
my cousin should be proud,
she brought a small angel to our world,
small ears,
cute button nose,
heart that beats perfectly,
mouth,
so small,
yet I want to kiss him,
gently on his small head,
what is going to be of,
small Kai,
Scottish for fire,
known name in Hawaii,
but will always be a Strickland (Macelree) to me
born June 12th 2010,
welcome to our world,
little Kai,
I love you

What happened to good TV shows????
I don't mean to brag, but I will. I watched a lot of TV in my life, and now, I just want to throw my TV out the window. Why? Because of all the shows they have on now.
First off, what has happened to kid shows. For instance, when I was little I use to watch Rugrats, Fairly OddParents, Rocko's Modern life, Powerpuff girls, Courage the cowardly dog, Foster's home for imaginary friends, Ed Edd n Eddy, Johnny Bravo, Angry Beavers and also non cartoon shows such as
Secret life of Alex Mack, Are You Afraid of the Dark mostly kid shows. Even the Critic had it's great moments
But Now, you have these lame, lame, lame cartoons and kid shows now a days, and I have a feeling there will be more to come in the future.
First, you have this lame cartoon called Avatar the air bender, and now it's turning into a realistic movie. What the hell were they thinking? They even have this other cartoon called Fanboy and Chum Chum, I don't even wanna talk about that. They even have this show called True Jackson, VP. I think kids are starting to become more annoying. And I don't want to list anymore bad cartoon and kid shows.
But I don't really watch too much cartoons or TV anymore like I use to. There's even lamer shows now on prime time like: Gary Unmarried, Til Death, Accidentally on Purpose. Thank god those shows got canceled I mean if it weren't for great, great shows like: The Big Bang Theory, Glee, The Simpsons (OK maybe not The Simpsons, but they're not that bad), Hell's Kitchen, House, Top Chef... well nobody would be happy, even me.
Maybe I won't throw my TV out the window after all. But Rest In Peace all you great, great shows that have been put to rest, and hopefully, there will be better shows in the future (doubt it though)
