Neverland in 2011

So this week I found this awesome miniseries on Netflix called NEVERLAND. It's a prequel to the Peter Pan Story. This is a story about how Peter, the Lost Boys and Hook came to NEVERLAND. I found these episodes on Netflix and when I realized they were a miniseries I was like "why not?"  Last time I found my Absolute Favorite TV Show of all Time on Netflix called MERLIN but I guess alas I was still a bit late once again. When I found MERLIN, that TV show had been on TV for at least a year and I am still a bit late finding NEVERLAND. Apparently this TV show appeared last year in 2011 on the Syfy network.

I grew up on the Disney Movies, so I grew up knowing Peter Pan in their light. I've always seen Peter Pan as a lucky boy who never wanted to grow up and who got to live in Neverland and have adventures for the rest of his life. Playing pirates with Captain Hook, Swimming with the Mermaids or Having fun with the Indians.
 Right now, actually I wish I were Wendy and Peter came to take me to Neverland. I would run as fast as possible to Neverland in a heart beat right now. I am finishing up my final years of college and I will have to finally "grow up" and get a job. Anyways NEVERLAND would be a blissfull paradise if it was anything like what I saw except for the giant scary crocodiles.

Since finding this TV show; NEVERLAND. I've been hooked!!! I wish the show would continue on and create new adventures of Peter and his friends, even include Wendy and her brothers. It would be a nice new spin on the Peter Pan I knew from the past.
 
To anyone of my Readers, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this Show!
Science Fiction and Fantasy mixed with the back story of Peter Pan.
NEVERLAND (2011) Written and directed by Nick Willing; produced by Parallel Films on behalf of MNG Films in association with Syfy and Sky Movies HD. Distributed by RHI Entertainment. It can be seen on Netflix or Youtube or maybe even the Syfy network website. If you Google it, you can find it!

I've looked online to find more information on the TV show but all I could find were stories bashing the show. So I am writing this in the Hope that Nick Willing, the writer and director knows that Someone other than critics watched your show NEVERLAND and that I loved it! Those writers who wrote negative articles on your TV show are one person's opinions and here is mine.

I absolutely loved Charlie Rowe as Peter. he was able to portray all the characteristics of Pan.
Brave, Cocky, Headstrong, Impulsive, Loyal and Resourceful everything needed to become the Hero we all know as Peter Pan. I enjoyed  seeing a new spin on familiar characters we have seen in the past come into a new light. Seeing Peter and Jimmy together I was able to see what events happened to change their relationship into Pan and Hook. The Female Pirate was quite an interesting new addition to the story. She brought more maturity to the Tale and her womanly wiles that made Hook's head turn. Seeing Hook join her crew was a major turning point for Jimmy and Peter. The Native Americans were exciting except I figured Tiger Lily would be younger, plus the utopia made of trees was amazing along with the band of Lost Boys, seeing them in London as well in Neverland. I could see their friendship change and grow stronger throughout the series. The giant crocs were a bit scary but overall I thought this series was very imaginative and full of  adventure!

The only bit I would have liked to see was more of a character development but I guess with only two episodes that is kinda hard to do. The actors though were quite good.
Rhys Ifans played the role of Captain James Hook
Charlie Rowe played the role of Peter Pan
Bob Hoskins played the role of Mr. Smee
Tinkerbell was a bit of a disappointment because she looked so different but she was voiced by Keira Knightly.  

Finding NEVERLAND in 2011 was an adventure for me and since I am in away at college preparing for my final stage of "growing up" It was a nice little burst of Pixie Dust to lift my spirits once more and let my daydreams soar!

The Call of the Theatre ~Creative Drama~

I was in a play once,

The Lights,
The stage,
The Curtain
and all those empty seats.

I am there now
on the stage, in the center looking out at all those empty seats. What a feeling to know all those seats will be filled soon just to see me on this stage.
Yes, I am in an empty room, with a clear black stage all alone. If someone were to come in and see me sitting on stage, I'd be embarrassed and quickly step away from the stage for I do not belong up here. But really who does belong up here? Only someone who is brave enough to audition and act dramatic in front of other people. I envy theater people, for I wish I could be so brave.

Confidence, Bravery, Adventurous....They all have it.

Confidence: For someone to be so comfortable and confident within themselves and be able to portray another side of themselves and become another character all together.
Bravery: Their bravery and talent are displayed for all to see.
Adventurous: Waning to explore

I was in a play once,
In 8th grade, it was called Cactus Pass. Cactus Pass was a twist on Romero and Juliet, two families that live in the wild wild west were feuding and Tim and Melissa were secret lovers. I had a small role; (but I heard there are no such thing of small roles in the theater)  I was one of the little sister's of Melissa and we are the prim and proper side of the family. Back then when I was in junior high I was a different person. I was shy and I hid myself from others, afraid to be mocked and teased for being different.  Now I smile, I talk to everyone, Anyone!
Now I have embraced my differences.  I say I don't care what others think but truthfully I do, how can you not? But whenever I get down, I always get back up again. ;)

My little sister Emily wants to be a actress, she wants to be a star in Hollywood but to me she is already a star for she has the adventurous side of herself and her bravery is shown each day as she practices for her audition into Baker's Dozen. For her high school dream is to be a mime. I can see why, knowing all these seats will be filled with someone's who want to see you!
Aziza was in a play once, She loved it! She made a lot of friends.

I was in a play once.

Cross Roads

"Where do I go from here? 
So many voices ringing in my ear, Which is the voice I was meant to hear? How will I know, Where do I go from here?"

These are lyrics from a song I feel very close to right now. A song from Disney's Pocahontas II: where she expresses her feelings of confusion and uncertainty. While trying to find the right path for her take, she turns to the Spirits to guide her to her path. I have similar feelings just like Pocahontas and right now this song helps me know I am not alone. I am having trouble finding the right path for me to take in life.
"The paths ahead is so hard to see, it winds and bends but where it ends depends on only me." I have a decision to make and I am so unsure which is the right path for me. I find myself at some cross roads, Child's Life Specialist, General Studies or Teaching? My original goal was Teaching and there were times where it felt so right. In that path there were doubts, I finally found something that felt like home but is there another path out there for me to find? How do I know? Which should I choose? I look to the Great Spirits for help, lead me to the path I am meant to take. I look to my Great Spirit, God. Help guide me to my destiny, Where do I go from here?

Supposed-villains turned to Under-dog Hero's from History to Hollywood

Charles Arthur, Lester Gillis, Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker, do those names ring any bells? Recently I have discovered that children today do not know the simplest pop culture references. This was going to be an entry about a few of these references but then my curiosity caught the better of me.

One reference I thought was important to address is typical Disney references in our culture. I was working recently with a bunch of youngster and made a comment on how to be as swift as a coursing river, with all the force of a great typhoon, with all the strength of a raging fire and mysterious as the moon. All the kids looked confused and laughed  because they thought I was being typically funny. I was a bit disturb to find not one of these kids have ever seen the movie Mulan. I concluded the age difference and the fact Mulan is not your typical Disney Princess but instead an extraordinary Disney Heroine.
 Mulan is a Disney animated film that came out in the 1998. Mulan was the 36th Animated Disney Movie and one of the only three feature films completed at the Walt Disney MGM Studio in Orlando Florida. This movie was nominated  for the Golden Globe and the Academy Awards and won the Best Animated Feature. For those of you who do not know; Mulan is based off a Chinese legend. Mulan is the only child of the Fa Family. When the Huns invade China, one man from every family is required to serve in China's Imperial Army. To save her father's life, Mulan steals her father's armor, impersonates a soldier...AND.... Watch the movie to find out!!!

 However my recent realization is much more disturbing. That my own little sister plus two other teenagers whom did not know who Bonnie and Clyde were. Even my best friend who thought Bonnie and Clyde were two chicks who lead a dangerous life. None of these people knew or recognized the references that is until my little brother gave me a sense of relief. "Yeah, they were a pair of bank robbers or something." A pair they were, so I decided to do some investigating and discovered the truth behind the old stereotypes and the truth behind these American legends. Before my research, all I knew about these two were they were imfamous in American History. Bonnie and Clyde were known for being a tight duo of robbers that lived during the Great Depression.
Looking deeper I found the real story (granted the information came from Wikipedia) remember when I asked you about these names Charles Arthur and Lester Gillis did those names ring any bells? Maybe you will recognize these names a bit more. Pretty Boy Floyd and John Dillinger were both American bank robbers who lived during the Great Depression. The 1930's must really have been a hard time for many Americans but this is when the crime spree's of the public-enemy era began.


Baby Face Nelson
Charles Arthur aka Pretty Boy Floyd was known throughout Arkansas,Missouri and Kansas. Arthur got the nickname Pretty Boy during his time working in the underworld. One of the witness's from the bank robbery identified him as a mere boy with rosy apple cheeks that's when he received the nickname Pretty Boy, which he despised. He is known as a Gangster and Bank Robber. Pretty Boy Floyd 's most imfamous crime was the Kansas City Massacre.
 Lester Gillis aka Baby Face Nelson or Jimmy Nelson to his gang members. His nickname Baby Face was given due to his young appearance and small stature. Nelson was from Chicago IL, not too far away from my hometown Rockford IL. Baby Face Nelson teamed up with John Dillinger in a prison break. Nelson was responsible for robbing banks and murder. Murders of mostly police officers and FBI agents.
However my real interest I have saved the best for last; Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker. are my two favorites hands down.Bonnie Parker was from Texas and lived there with her family. When she was in school she was very intelligent and enjoyed writing poems. She married when she was 16 years old but not to Clyde Barrow but to Ray Thorton. However Thorton and Bonnie were separated when Thorton went to prison, even though they were separated Bonnie never took off their wedding band even when she met Clyde. However, some say Clyde was the reason Bonnie turned to a life of crime but many don't know Bonnie was no stranger to the law even before she met Clyde.

Clyde Barrow was one of seven children, born to a poor farming family. Clyde's first run-ins with the law were youthful indiscretions is how I would classify it but stealing turkeys most likely for food and then going away for four years in prison I think was a total unnecessary punishment. During his time in prison, Clyde committed his first serious crime; murder. He beat a guy to death but this guy sexually assaulted him while Clyde was in prison and he blames the so-called justice system. They treat him as a criminal and he ended up being a victim. This experience changed Clyde and when he came out of prison he was a different person. Some believe Clyde's violence towards police officers and FBI agents stem from his experience in prison. He blames them for what happened to him and I don't blame him in the least. I think he is a victim of hard times and  unfortunate to be dealt a cruel hand in fate but I think a part of him changed when he met Bonnie. Love might have been able to find its way into his life, even though most of his life he spent on the run and in the slums. When Bonnie and Clyde met their were instantly drawn to one another, They were never married but their love story still lives on today and in history.
   The Barrow Gang
Clyde was the leader of the Barrow Gang and its members included Bonnie Parker, his brother Buck Barrow, his brother's wife Blanche Barrow, childhood friend W.D. Jones, Henry Methvin, Joe Palmer and Ralph Frults. The Barrow Gang robbed throughout the Central United States mostly banks and a few gas stations here and there. This time, (the Great Depression) was labeled the public-enemy era Bonnie and Clyde were no strangers with the other outlaws in fact partnerships have been formed and alliances alined.

Where there is a villain there is always a hero. The heroes' this time are the police officers, those who are supposed to uphold the law and protect the people. However, when I was reading about Clyde, Bonnie and their gang I found myself immersed in their world of crime and adventure but like all adventures they must end. The Gibsland Posse ambushed them on a dirt road in Louisiana. Their public image of guns blazing and bullets flying was what the public thought of the couple. Bonnie and Clyde's car was shot up in a blaze of bullets. Clyde died first with a bullet to the head, once Bonnie realized Clyde was dead. Bonnie's scream rang throughout the entire field until she followed him in death. 50 bullets total were used to kill the couple The news of their swarmed the nearby town, the posse went to the sheriff's office and left their bodies to get their reward money. 
This is the real sick part, a public swarm of people started raiding the car and disrespecting their bodies. People would cut off Bonnie's hair and pieces of her bloody clothing. Grabbing glass from their car or fragments of the crime scene, several people cut up their bodies, one man even took Clyde's trigger finger all as souvenirs. For their reputations were popular among the public but what disgusts me is how much the public benefited from their deaths. People from all over the country would come to see their bodies and all the surrounding towns made profit off food, gas and beer from the tourists who came to Bonnie and Clyde's funerals.Bonnie and Clyde wished to buried together but her family would never allow it so they are separated only physically but spiritually they are together or so I believe. Bonnie Parker is buried in Dallas Texas and Clyde Barrow is buried with his brother in Dallas as well but in different cemeteries.With the the death of Bonnie and Clyde came the beginning of the end of the public-enemy era.Two months after Bonnie and Clyde's death, John Dillinger was killed in the city of Chicago, then Pretty Boy got shot and killed in Ohio and one month later Baby Face Nelson rounded up the end of the Public-Enemy Era in Illinois.

The stereotypes of these two has been exaggerated over the years. Something about these two have intrigued the nation now and even back then in the 1930's. Public impressions of Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow are misconceived. Bonnie was this malicious woman who smoked cigars and just as trigger happy as her boyfriend Clyde which is false. W.D Jones former member of the Barrow gang said Bonnie disliked guns and he never saw her ever shoot a gun. All the photos taken were for their fun times and completely harmless. Clyde however was very cold and often trigger happy when dealing with police officers but even though he was said to be cold and heartless he never lacked loyalty. He would never leave any member of his gang behind. He even went as far to spring his friends out of prison and cared very deeply for Bonnie. All impressions I had of those two were from the television show The New Adventures of Superman: Lois and Clark. There is an episode where a scientist brought their clones back to life and I caught a glimpse of their persona's. 

Hollywood has immortalized many of these gangsters in feature films but then Hollywood gives us many supposed-villains to hate but then we end up rooting for them and they end up being our hero's. One commonly thought of supposed-villain that comes to mind with this famous quote:  "You will always remember this as the day you almost caught Captain Jack Sparrow."  
That's right, Captain Jack Sparrow is a pirate and by definition a person who robs or commits illegal violence at sea or on the shores of the sea. Just like Bonnie and Clyde; Jack Sparrow is a thief and robber but he is also our underdog and an unlikely hero that we end up falling in love with. Jack Sparrow is consistently getting into trouble, he plans to steal a ship to go after his "baby" the Black Pearl but ends up saving Miss Elizabeth from drowning and almost getting caught. He desperately wants his ship back and have his revenge on his first mate who betrayed him. The audiences end up rooting for the pirates and in a way I ended up rooting for Bonnie and Clyde. So you all know the saying: "Don't judge a book by its cover." I think this was a tribute to all those unsung misunderstood supposed-villains that turn into our favorite underdog hero's.

A simple thought

Sometimes I wish I could escape from this world. Go to a place much simpler than here.
Everyone talks about all our achievements over the span of time and how our world is different from the past. But is it all for the better, I wish I could go back to a time when things were simpler.

It's a Walgreen's World

When I turned 16 years old, I got my very first paycheck job. I had done the whole babysitting gig for three years since I was 13 years old but this was my first official real job. I took a job in food service at a restaurant called Lucky's Red Hots. It was a family owned and a native to Rockford restaurant. The Owners were friends of mine and I was their former babysitter. When their kids out grew the need for a babysitter; George offered me a position at their newest restaurant. I got the job as front cashier and food maker.
Lucky's Red Hots were known for their Chicago style hot dogs, before I worked there I had no idea there were different style's of dressing hot dogs. In case anyone wanted to know; a Chicago Style hot dog is dressed in a squirt of mustard down the side, two sliced tomato halves on the other side, neon-glow in the dark electric relish on the top, a sprinkle of diced onions, a long slice of pickle and two shakes of celery salt. Along with learning to make food and wrap dogs I got a chance to meet different people. Scott, Robert, Rachel and Timmy were my co-worker at Lucky's. All four were different people than who I was typically exposed to but when you begin working it is normal to be exposed to the world. Back in that time, I was still fresh on life and young, naive and sheltered. Well these four helped me realize how lucky I was be young and how lucky I was to still be able to make good decisions. I had a hard time fitting in with Scott, Robert and Rachel, I am most definitely sure they found me to a hindrance and an annoyance. There is one person who stands out above all the rest, Timmy was different. He was funny, smart and we shared many interesting conversations together. Shelia and Timmy were my favorite people; Shelia was the best boss and Timmy and I became good friends and we are still friends to this day. I feel accomplished!

After my time at Lucky's, I realized I needed a change. I did not want to return to food service so when I moved to Des Moines, Iowa I got my first job in retail at Walgreen's. I've been at the same Walgreen's store for about 3 years almost 4 this Christmas. I love it!When I first started working there, my Mom used to tease me because anything I saw advised on TV, I would say: "We sell that at Walgreen's." She used to call me the "poster child" for Walgreen's because of how immersed I became within my job.

I am a Certified Photo Technician a.k.a. a Photo Girl. Which I think suits me, I feel the need to document all fun and exciting things that happen to me or within my life. Or that is at least me rationalizing my strange need to take pictures. Sometimes my friends call me "camera crazed" but I know they don't really mean it. I know they really mean to say that they love it when I take pictures of them. Since I work at Walgreen's and I am a photo girl I get to see all the awesome pictures from the customers.
I've been on an African safari, seen ancient Greece and the ruins of Rome all through the photo's of customers. I plan on going to all those places one day but for now I can watch from photographs.
                                        Plus, I get employee discount on photo's of my very own!   

I enjoy my job, the people, the customers and the life lessons I have gained since working there.I have enjoyed my time at Walgreen's, so much so I have decided to share some of my experiences within a book I entitled; It's a Walgreen's World.


Look forward to It!

Rachel takes a Walk into the Wild

Tonight I went to support the Blank Park Zoo and Wildlife Conservation in Des Moines Iowa.
I met Jack Hanna; a TV Wildlife Advocate was the main speaker at the benefit. Jack Hanna or Jungle Jack. Interesting Fact: I saw Jack Hanna swimming with Sea Turtles while talking with Al Roker underwater. I was watching the weather channel while preparing to go to class and I recognized Al Roker and heard him mention Jack Hanna. I was happy get a glimpse of him considering I was going to the benefit the next night.

So tonight when I met Jack Hanna, I had something interesting to talk to him about. I stood in a long line, I received a free book which I was able to have him sign and I got my picture taken with Jack Hanna. I got to have like a 2 minute conversation with him, he laughed about the sea turtle playing in his air bubbles and I felt like I was talking to a friend.


Jack Hanna is a famous and popular wildlife conversationalist who is a celebrity, but he is a real person. I know "they are just like us" but I could see his passion for animals and nature. Jack shared his experiences was to why we need to Be Aware! and Care! Rhinos, Giraffes and Gorilla's need to be saved from the poachers. Even though he made me cry, he did make me laugh and he allowed me a glimpse into his world.
My Dad & Jack Hanna
"Thank You!!" I love animals and when I was a child I wanted to be a zoo keeper, even though my dream has changed I still have a strong passion and love for Nature and Animals. For having an opportunity like this, I have three people to thank.
1. Thank you Dad, for buying the tickets and for inviting me.
2. Thank You Jack Hanna for coming to Des Moines Iowa and supporting the Blank Park Zoo.
3. Thank You Nationwide Insurance Company for being such a wonderful company for supporting wildlife, supporting our zoo and for being friends with Jack Hanna.

Here are some of the animals I got to meet!

Ivan; a albino joey kangaroo
A baby girl porcupine
A real cheetah like 10 feet away from our table

Rae's Other Life

Writing has always been a way for me to escape my problems in this world so I would just teleport myself into a different world. A World within My Stories. I first came up with this Story Idea after I moved to Rockford, IL. I was only 10 years old but at that time I felt like I was able to decide my own path of life. During that time, I had a hard time adjusting to school life at Holy Family Catholic School so I tried to escape into Rae's Other Life. In this book, I have good friends based off real friendships I had left behind and imaginary friends I have always wanted. There are many alterations of ROL (Rae's Other Life)

The first version was what my life would have been like if I would have never left the Quad Cities, but slowly over time I found the story developing into Rachel having leaving the Four Cities and start a new life. Probably wherever you go, you meet new people and want to include those new people and new relationships. So ROL changed into the second version. In this version of ROL; a mystery follows Rachel to Rockford? Using this storyline I was able to in vision a whole series of books I have been developing. This have been the longest Project I've never finished but that like I said before I started working on this when I was like 10 years old. My little sister Emily, has recently encouraged me to at least finish the first book. I have been able to break Rae's Other Life into four parts, turning them into four books.

Annabell
The thing is all my stories are somewhat linked with Rae's Other Life. This is what led my imagination into Annabell. Annabell is another wonderful story I created, when I was lonely after arriving in Rockford IL.I desperately wanted a friend. Sure I had a small group of girls I had befriended but it still wasn't enough. It wasn't until I finally realized what I was asking for was quite Impossible. Even so, nothing is impossible in my world of writings. So my friend Annabell came into my life, She was the little friend I often found myself talking to and telling my thoughts, ideas, rants and rambles. Annabell has her own story, I created right after I finished 8th grade as I was about to enter High School. Annabell often followed me through out High School but then one day I found a new friend. Her name was Aziza Jones and Annabell became just another character within My Stories. Annabell still has special appearances within my stories, remember what I said before about being able to link my story ideas together it is kinda like that.

Recently I have decided to start finalize my timeline for ROL. I finally decided to start the series around the same age I started writing. Age 10 but just to give myself some more time, the readers will meet Rachel when she is 8 years old, a third grader in Mrs. Myers classroom at St. Annes Catholic School. The readers are introduced into her life, her family, her friends and her world through the eyes of a third grader; she is just your typical girl but nothing in life is ever typical. Rachel and her friends get into all sorts of adventures. Rachel will meet the Montebello's; a family with a secret. Rachel learns getting mixed up in their world can be dangerous but there is a strange force that attracts Rachel deeper and deeper into their world. Rachel learns the lessons of life but all these strange events begin to happen.. Is this fate or is this destiny?

Sound interesting?

My friend Annie once told me: "Rachel, you should write a book, your life is too interesting not to share with the world." Annie I want to thank you for encouraging me to write and record all the funny adventures I have experienced and now I start to share my funny stories with others. So thanks for the encouragement!! Love you! ;) You're a great Friend!

A Lost Falcon

"Far far above the clouds against the setting sun. A falcon flies all alone soaring in the wind, riding the silent wind, the falcon flies alone reaching up with his wings into the empty sky.What is it within my heart no one can ever know, lonely falcon within the empty sky." 

Sadness and Tears fill my heart, Sunday April 15, 2012: a fifteen year old boy died. Carson Vandeventer was a freshman at Valley Southwoods High School. Even though I only met him a few times, when we did talk to me he was someone to remember. When we talked he would look you straight in the eyes and actually talk to you, you know form a conversation and when you are the newest boyfriend of MY little sister that to me said something. Although things did not work out between Carson and my sister, I still know those two were very close friends. His death leaves her and his family with a piece of their world as empty as the sky. Carson Fly High! You are missed and your presence within our lives is being felt even now within me. Since I have received the news, my heart aches for you; you were too young to have left so suddenly. There is this song originally from (Studio Ghibli but Disney owns the rights within the U.S.) the movie Tales of the Earthsea; Teru's Song these words came into my head since the news of your death. Some of them are above in first sentences. Carson you were like a young falcon who has just learned to fly, you were just getting ready to explore those skies and the rest of the world. Now your friends and family search the skies for you. Carson, my heart cries for you as well as your family. Knowing my sister is in so much pain, her tears as well as mine are all for you. I know you are watching over everyone now from the skies in Heaven. You are missed but you will never be forgotten;
Rest in Peace Carson Venderventer <3

Sadness and tears fill my heart when you're young the world seems so big but without someone like you it is still missing something. We are sad to think you left. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family Carson Vandeventer

Wanting more..

Today I changed it up, I went to the Rialto for Dinner. My friend Larissa and I went to say hi to our friend Molly who works there. I was excited for the change and I had a nice walk in the fresh air. While we were eating Larissa asked me if I had ever been inside the towers before, I said I haven't so I suggested we go and check it out, see what is like? My adventurous spirit began to stir within me, I was getting excited and eager to see what would happen. Larissa was reluctant to come with me, she was weary for she knew my expectations were high. I told her I wanted to just see what the floors are like? We would just walk the hallway then out the doors and down the stairs. Seemed simple enough, whenever exploring a new place you need to put on your brave face and act like you own the place. Needless to say we were a little wobbly but once we got our sea-legs we found the stairs. I chose the 3rd floor, turns out it was a boys floor. It was a bit creepy, very dark not much light and none of the boys bothered to personalize their doors.

None of the doors were open and the floor was very quiet. I have expected there to be music or sounds of TV but all the sounds I could hear was Larissa being nervous "we" would be tagged as "creepy" or "weird" for we a couple of girls wandering the halls. I was a little disappointed for I didn't get to see one single guy except for the one boy we passed on the way down the stairs. I finally gave into Larissa's pleads to leave and we left. Walking back to our rooms she explained her point of view and explained  why she was so not into the adventure if you can even call it that? She said she felt like she was in someone's house when they weren't home but all I heard was excuses. Reflecting back on what I said, she could be mad at me for I called her a mouse. In the back of my mind, I thought if I can just push her out of the box a little she could have some fun but instead of being excited she was pretty much a kill joy. Larissa is my best friend here at UNI but I want more than what we have been doing. It's a Friday night and you want to know what exciting things we will be doing....probably in our rooms watching a movie and hanging out talking. Now I am not saying there is anything wrong with that because I like hanging out, talking and watching movies but I want more. I want to go out and meet new people, maybe go out on Main Street or go to a party.

This is my first year at UNI and I don't regret meeting the people I know now, all my gal pals are Awesome, Amazing and Get Me! I have a bunch of Wonderful Friends who I feel close to; Larissa, Emily, Molly, Julia, Emily, Megan and Erin. But I missed out on all the parties in HS and I don't want to miss out on any more exciting adventures in college. There is one big difference between me and my friends and that is I am in a different part of my life, I am a 22 years old and technically a senior and all of them are freshmen and each one of them are still in prime of their partying. So I feel like I need to be doing more in order to achieve my wants. If I want to go to a party I need to find people who are throwing the parties, I will not let myself get passed up again. If I want something I have to go and find it. The question is Where When and How?
So Here I am making a new ripple and getting out there and dancing!

A Disney Opinion

I am getting kind of sick of my TV Show options as of recently. I feel like I have to send this out in hopes that this will reach the right people. Mickey Mouse (I am sending this to you!)  "How the Mighty & the Proud has Fallen." The "Proud" I am referring to is The Walt Disney Company. The Disney Company is a national and world wide company that has brought Magic and Dreamers into the World. I myself love Disney more than anything and I only hope someone from the Walt Disney Company reads this, so The Disney Company can know what their Audiences are looking for. This is my own personal opinion, from a life-long Disney Supporter.
I have grown up on Disney Movies and Disney Values and I plan on sharing the same Disney Movies and Values with my family when the time comes. So here is something I think could benefit The Walt Disney Company if they take these opinions into consideration for the future.

First of all, I can stay silent any longer about what has become of The Disney Channel. Today, the Disney Channel doesn't even register in my mind of stations to tune into when I am looking for something to watch. Whoever is in charge of selecting Disney Channel TV shows should STOP, Take a Look at Shows from the Past and STOP with these horrible excuses' for "DISNEY" TV shows. I feel no need to rot my brain away in front of shows like Good Luck Charlie, ANT Farm, Fish Hooks, and Jesse. I think there were some OK shows but even then Disney Channel stretched them until it NEEDS to be over. Wizards of Waverly Place; Fine. Phineas and Ferb; Not bad. But Shows like Shake It Up; to me is just a wanna-be That's So Raven. I mean, I get that Disney is trying to strike out with new actors but does it have to be incredibly mind-numbing to watch? I remember Disney Channel shows like Even Stevens, The Famous Jett Jackson, So Weird, Kim Possible, Boy Meets World, That's So Raven and even Cory in the House was better than these TV shows that are on television now. I also understand that Disney feels they have to go where they the money with Suite Life, Hannah Montana, but I think if you want to just keep Disney Channel for the Disney Fans who are Juniors then keep it Disney Junior.  
THANK GOD for ABC Family, who is a sister channel and owned and operated by The Walt Disney Company. ABC Family is My Favorite TV Channel, it is always the channel that I turn to when I need to relax and unwind. My Friends and I have TV Nights according to the awesome TV Shows they have going on on this TV Station. Shows like The Lying Game, Switched at Birth, Jane by Design,
Movies shown weekly and weekend movies like Bambi, Aladdin and The Lion King are some sweet awesomeness!!! My only opinion to ABC Family is slow your roll on all those Harry Potter Weekends, there is such things as too much. I guess I can keep living happily as long as I have my ABC Family.
My Last Request, The Walt Disney Studios created an Amazing movie in 2010 called The Prince of Persia and I would like it if Disney Studios could make another movie like The Prince of Persia.
Thanks Mickey, I know You are always a Pal and you will see this gets to the right people. ;)    Rachel

The Prophecy Characters

So this story is the most intriguing story line for me, I can't help but want to work on the development every spare minute. I think I recently made a break though decision but that would mean I was blocked which I wasn't...I just want to make that clear. (My Inner Mozzie) And Yes I am completely infatuated with that show, my new favorite show and it is on tonight. Which would explain why I have always missed this awesome show; White Collar. But is on the same night as my NCIS so this is a puzzlement.
Anywho! Getting back to the my break through, I decided to include a rather important person into my story, My real life Bestest Friend ever Aziza Jones, the one and only. This opens lot of funny moments the group can have, I already anticipated humor included in this book but this way I can use real life situations and have more fun with my characters. Speaking of characters, Here is a little look into a rough storyline and an Introduction to the Characters of The Prophecy.

The story begins in the hidden realm of Forgotten Mists, there in the floating Castle of Emilia, a Sorcerer named Emrys (Em-er-ris) escapes. Emrys escapes from the castle but lost too much power to escape the Realm completely. So he hides away in a cave cloaked in his magic. Hidden away, Emrys attempts to create a portal to another Realm. Unfortunately his power is too weak for his body to escape within the portal, so he sends out a distress signal to one of this friends throughout the Worlds of Magic. While in the Lands of Forgotten Mists, Emrys becomes aware of the growing power of The Darkness within the Lands. The Darkness has teamed up with Sorcerer Emilia to engulf the Magical Realms.  Emrys has defeated The Darkness before, but only once. However he know he is not meant to defeat it again. So with the help of Cassie, a young "Ismene Magica"(magical creatures who serve wizards and mages) Cassie soon takes on the role to be Emrys's apprentice and helps him contact the Human World, where a new magic has emerged. With the help of Cassie's water portal, they are able to search the Human World for this power. This new magic is the New Light which is needed to fulfill the new Prophecy. According to Cassie's source in Atlantis a new Prophecy has appeared in the Library of Records and Truths. This new prophecy predicts the rise of The Darkness once again, this time it will succeed within all Magical Realms if not for a New Light with three special traits. 

Rachel is a teenager living a rather typical life, until she is summoned to The Cave of Destiny by Emrys and Cassie.Once she is in the Cave, Cassie appears and guides her to meet Emrys. Since Emrys can not leave the Lands of the Forbidden Mists. His reflection is shown only to Rachel, he then informs her of her Destiny. Wither or not she decides to accept this task is up to her, or is it Fate, or is it Destiny?

 So Rachel, her guardian Annabell and her best friend, Aziza set out to fulfill the Prophecy. Along the way their group of friends continue to grow, each member who joins them has their own reasons for attempting to fulfill the Prophecy and bring the end to the Darkness. These characters are essential to the end result. The first member to join Rachel and her friends is named Kelsi Flynn. She is a mermaid who goes to school with Rachel and Aziza. She is also the daughter of the Librarian of Atlantis, she helps Rachel get into the Library of Records and Truths to retrieve the first part of the Prophecy and the Orb of Legends.
Kelsi Flynn is a social butterfly, she is fun-loving, kind, caring, a bit naive at times but she has the heart of a warrior, she is also very skilled in combat and swords. Kelsi asks to join Rachel, Aziza and Annabell on their quest, her reasons for joining is unknown but she is eager and willing to help defeat the Darkness.
Meet Kelsi Flynn
                                                                            
This is Kelsi in her mermaid form, she is originally from
Atlantis, she came to the Human world for an adventure and decided to give High School a try. Kelsi stays with her Uncle when she lives in the Human World.
She is the daughter of the Librarian of Atlantis, so she is well versed in the myths and legends. She is able to help out on identifying parts of the Legends.
Kelsi becomes a precious friend to Rachel and an important member of the group. Kelsi has a passion for shopping and jewelry.

Another character who joins the group, her name is Alessandria Gadget. She is also a mermaid but a previous friend of Annabell's. She is also in High School with Rachel and Aziza. Alessa befriended Rachel before the Prophecy when Rachel joined the swim team. When Rachel and Annabell meet Alessa again she is totally immersed in the Human Worlds technological gadgets, Alessa is a bit of a computer genius, part hacker but mostly tech wiz. Alessa's interests besides the computer include swimming, shopping and reading. Alessa joins the team to help Annabell, Alessa is also the Princess of Atlantis, so she helps with diplomacy whenever the group travels and interacts with royalty.  Meet Alessandria Gadget
 This is Alessa in her mermaid form. Even though her fasination is dealt within technology and computers. She still loves returning to the sea, she often returns home to Atlantis. In fact she meets up again with Rachel, Annabell and Kelsi when they ask the King for permission to view the Library of Legends and Truths. That's when Alessa learns Rachel maybe the key to defeating the Darkness.
Seeing how the Darkness is attempting to take over her home, she joins the group under the pretenses of being a Princess and having a duty for her country, however we soon learn that is not her only reason for joining to fulfill the Prophecy.




Alessa working in the school computer lab

The next two characters, Rachel meets are twins. Chloe and Conner are brother and sister who live in Cloud's Castle. Sorcerer Cloud lives in his Castle in the clouds, Currently Cloud is visiting the 6th dimension in Japan, while he is gone Chloe and Conner remain at the castle to guard Clouds Portal. A gift from the Dimensional Mage, the Clouds Portal is a way to travel to other Realms. Rachel and her friends need that portal to travel to the other Magical Realms and retrieve the Pieces of the Prophecy. Upon arrival to Cloud's Castle, Rachel and her friends meet Chloe and Conner who are pegasus horses' meaning winged horses.
Chloe

 Chloe is the older sister, she is clever,
Chloe is the one who asks to join Rachel on her quest. She has been growing restless for adventure and asks her Master Cloud for permisson to leave the Castle. Once she is given the chance to leave, she is hestiant because of Conner, but when he asks to come along the twins remain together. Chloe is very protective of her little brother, however she does not baby him. If anything she pushes him grow up. She is very smart, a great listener and a loyal, trusting soul.

Conner


Conner is the youngest of the twins, he has the most mischievous streak within him.Conner is a funny, charming, little trickster who is still very young at heart. He is very impulsive and can get into trouble when he is not careful. Luckily he has his sister Chloe to keep him in line.When Chloe asks to join the quest, Conner also asks to come along.Wanting to remain close to his sister, he leaves Cloud's Castle. Along the way Conner comes to understand the importance of teamwork and what it means to belong to a group.Conner forms a close bond with Kelsi, he  seems to grow up along the way. Kelsi shows Conner his inner strength.

Both Chloe and Conner are magical horses who each have their own magic within themselves. Chloe and Conner have birthmarks tattooed on their foreheads. The symbols of Light and Hope are sibling within themselves so are Conner and Chloe. So Chloe is the Sister of Light, her magic is cast in a spell of  "Prism of Light". Conner's birthmark is the symbol of Hope, his magic is cast within the "Beam of Hope".

The next four characters are the last to join Rachel to gather the Pieces of the Prophecy. They are from the Magical Realm of Dragon Country. Jack Dido and Joe Ravens are Dragon Tamers. Their partners are Sparks and Ignight. Sparks is Jack's Partner, she is a very powerful dragon. She acts as his friend, his partner, his conscience and his best buddy. Sparks is smart, calm, cool under pressure, almost like a big sister but more like a wise old friend. Ignight or Iggy is a bit different, he is a bit of a joker but knows how to stay alert. Iggy is Joe's partner, Joe Ravens is Jack's best friend. They grew up together and became Dragon Tamers to fight against the Darkness. Meet Joe Ravens

Soap Opera's are about Families, Farwell OLTL!!!

Hey Guys,
I watched the final episode of OLTL last Friday. Wow! There were a lot of surprises. Starr and Cole were reunited and I Jumped Up and Cheered!!! I was so happy for the gang to be together again. Markko, Langston, Starr and Cole. It would have been soo Awesome if the Original Cole (Brandon Buddy) could have returned for the final episode.

My Favorite part of the Final week of One Life to Live was Viki talking about what soaps mean to the Fans of the Show. Here you can hear for yourself, the emotions and feeling the Fans of OLTL will be feeling now that the TV show is no longer on the air. "Soap Opera's are about Families."  



So what happened?! You maybe wondering, Soap's are all about Cliffhanger Endings and Never See that Coming Surprises. Well, As I mentioned, Starr and Hope left Lanview and went off to LA so Starr could pursue her singing career. She met up with Markko and Langston, Starr filled both of them in on what Really Happened to Cole. How he didn't really die and how he was reunited with his parents. Then at the end of their part of the Show, a knock on the door. A man asking for Starr Manning, informing her that her father sent a bodyguard for her living alone in LA. She declines immediately but once the man informs her it will not be him but......Yes! That's Right!!! Her new bodyguard was none other than Cole!!! They were reunited again and able to have their Happy Ending. Just what they deserved, I would have been fuming Mad if not but this Sole Fan is happy with this ending of their story. But is it really The End??? According to ABC promos and newspaper articles Kristen Alderson will be crossing over to the soap General Hospital along with John McBain, her mother Blair Cramer and Todd Manning??? I am happy and excited to see what Starr will be like in Port Charles, Will she be friends with Michael? Will she know Sonny? or maybe Dante? Who Knows? I can only imagine what it would be like if Todd met Sonny. I still giggle to myself when I remember the mini crossovers ABC company produced with varies characters of soaps' All My Children, One Life to Life and General Hospital. Here are some of my favorites, you should check them out. If you watch the soaps, and know their characters it is real funny. But Even if you're not familiar with the characters their personalities show through and make the mini - episode even funnier. "Aww Momenti" I'll put them all on here, just for your enjoyment!

What if...Todd Manning met Damian Spinelli

What if...Erica Kane Met Sonny Corinthos

What If...Angie and Jesse met Starr? 

What If...Greenlee met Jason? 

What if...Carly Corinthos Jacks met Ryan Lavery? 

What If - Dante Falconeri Meets Tess Buchanan? 

What If...Blair Cramer met Tad Martin? 

What If - Rex Balsom met Maxie Jones? 

What If- Luke Met Viki?

What If-John McBain Met Sam McCall?  

What If - Behind the Scenes

Anyway, I was talking about the latest episode of OLTL. John McBain just rescued Thomas' from Todd's people. Todd Manning the REAL Todd Manning killed his own twin brother Victor Jr. because he doesn't like his life and he doesn't feel like Victor should be living his life decides to kill him and then repress his memory and tell himself he Did Not Kill his own brother, and frame it on someone else because Todd can never have consequences to his actions. He always gets away with his crimes and NEVER has to pay for them. He is the villain who always sweet talks his way out of punishment and sometimes the hero No One ever expects?! At least, the former Todd aka Victor Jr. was like that, I never knew this original Todd Manning? but what I have seen is NOT something I like. The Unconditional love Starr gushes to him and such......(eyes roll)  This new thing Todd blames the murder of his brother on his rival for Blair (the so called mother of his children) just to get him out of the way, so he can move in on Blair and sweep her off her feet and into his bed.. or couch or basically anywhere they can have sex because that's the kind of mother/woman Blair is. In this final episode, Blair finally gave in her "feelings" for Todd and they Yes! Can you believe it They had SEX?! Wow! Shocker! No the best part was when John McBain busted in and said; "Todd Manning you are under arrest for the murder of Victor Jr. aka your brother! Blair's face was priceless! After yet again another broken promise and another lie Todd fed Blair and she like a sucker believed him. Todd promised he would never do anything to hurt her. Even though he knew Blair's feeling for Thomas, he still Hurt her in the long run. (Geez, never saw that coming..?..)

The one thing I was quite happy about was the fact that Todd finally had to atone for his actions. Blair's face was priceless, I only wish I got to see Starr's and Jack's face when they find out Scarface was guilty of murder. Then it occurred to me later on, Todd would again weasel his way out of a crime if he would be appearing on General Hospital, BLAH! :p 

Then the Buchanan's get some happy news, which is what they deserve. The audience (yay!) get to know that Jessica is actually Clint's biological daughter. This to me never made any sense? Listen to this: Viki was pregnant with twins, one twin Natalie and another twin Jessica. It is NOT possible to have twin babies and have two different fathers. It doesn't make any sense so I never cared but apparently it was a big and happy surprise for the whole family. I am happy Jessica got some good news after all the heart break she had to endure through all these years. Oh yeah, for the record I have NEVER been a fan of Natalie but apparently she too had to have her own happy ending. Natalie and John McBain finally reunited and are in a relationship. Yahoo... I just hope I don't have to see her in Port Charles, but I guess it wouldn't be soo bad, I guess they will need someone to do something stupid and dumb to make us laugh. 

Another little wrap up to another story, I wish the writers would have given us more of is with Matthew and Destiny. I was happy when they finally got together and in a relationship, It was kinda of annoying when Destiny just shrugged it off as her comforting him because it made it sound all wrong. That's Not who Matthew is and that's Not who she is at all! However, Destiny and Matthew were going to have a baby. Destiny is all mentally prepared and ready to have her baby but Matthew still recovering from a head trauma still isn't ready to sign his life away. So those two were sort of on the outs. But when Push came to Shove DAVID of all people helped Matthew see he needs to be there for Destiny. So Matthew rushes to tell Destiny he is ready to be there for her. When he arrives, Destiny is already in the middle of labor pains and having their baby on the living sofa in the Buchanan's living room. Destiny gives birth to a beautiful baby boy who the couple decides to name Drew after Matthew's oldest brother who died a long time ago. I never knew Drew but apparently this news of Drew made Bo cry and if Bo Buchanan is happy they so am I! Both families were present for the birth and the end of their story was complete.  

That's the final episode of One Life to Live in a short and opinionated nutshell of Rachel Bergez. All this final episode we saw Allison Perkins who recently escaped from prison telling the conclusion of all the characters of OLTL. Allison was a major person who revealed secrets to the families in the town of Landview Pennsylvania, she was also a helper to the so called "Messager" Mitch Lawrence who terrorized the many people throughout the TV Show. However in this last episode, she acted like the narrator of the TV Show. She was telling this story to someone, but no one knew who? I thought maybe it was Mitch Lawrence and that somehow he survived? But I was Wrong! It was Victor Jr.?!?!!! He was alive? That means Todd didn't kill him? That means Todd will be released, that means.... Well I don't know what that means but Wow! What an ending, I honestly didn't see that one coming. At least that means that Tea' and Victor Jr. might be reunited and Tea's baby will not have to be father less. Because all this show was about was Families. All these different kinds of families living together, interacting with each other and bring up real issues, real families have to deal with today. 

I will miss this show, I will continue to watch General Hospital. I had already once followed GH when Dante entered the show, when he went undercover to bring down Sonny Corinthos, a mobster who ran Port Charles. A typical thug and low life but Not so, Sonny Corinthos turns out to be one of the most interesting characters I find, and his interactions with his kids, with his family and friends are interesting. Dante meets Lulu and their love blossoms and once I lost time for GH I left. I stopped following but recently when I found out Lulu and Dante got married I am following it again and will see how John McBain and Starr Manning find their way into Port Charles. I will be watching and waiting, but it will never replace the feeling of family like I had for my favorite show One Life to Life.

You only have One Life to Live

"Live for Today's Dream, Tomorrow's what will be? Look and You will find you have One Life to Live." These are lyrics to a song from the ABC TV soap One Life to Live. This is the final week of the show that has been on television since 1968. My Mom would watch the soaps when I was little then one day over the summer when I was 15 I started watching OLTL with my little brother and little sister. Since then I have watched and I was able to witness the best love story since Romeo and Juliet in a modern twist with Starr and Cole. (Sole) I got to know these characters and I got to know them so well, I would yell and scream at the TV when they messed up like they could hear me, I would cry in the sad heart- breaking moments, I would crush and gush when love blossomed, I would guess what would happen, who killed who? whose baby? what else? I guessed what would happen in the future in One Life to Life and All My Children. Another ABC Company TV show they canceled after like 75 years on TV. I guessed what Hope, Emma and Little Adam would be like when they grew up? Would Little A ever ask little Emma to be his girlfriend? How would Ryan adjust to Emma dating? Will Emma find an awesome romance like Starr and Cole? Will Hope finally be able to have a relationship with Cole like Starr had with her Dad? I wanted to see Everything! I Never saw it coming, The ABC Network canceling One Life to Life.


"Where do you go when you have nothing to cling to? Your head in the clouds, the rainbows behind you. It's so hard to breathe, always searching for Hope. but lost are those eyes, the life line so keep holding on to me," If canceling the show wasn't enough, Someone gave Fans a false hope of return with an online premiere of the ABC soaps All My Children and One Life to Life. The deal however fell threw so I have to say goodbye to an Awesome TV Show that has been with me threw it all. This is the last week of the soap on ABC Company TV Network. 1/9/12 - 1/13/12 The conclusion which I hope is a hell of a lot better than All My Children's. I want...no rather I Need Closure. So Here's looking at You... Let me be surprised! (Just Kidding make It Good. Make it Last!)

The actors are the amazing people I will miss the most. Kristen Alderson who has been on the show since she was a little girl plays the infamous Starr Manning. She is one of my favorite characters of OLTL.  She has done so much in the show, Her talents as a Soap Star and as a Singer. I hope she records all the songs she performed in the show, I would soo buy her album, Her songs "Together" and her candle-light version of "One Life to Live" are my all time favorites. Some of the lyrics posted are in this post from the latest episode which was the ending song Alderson sang at the end of the episode. So Beautiful!

They're Family; Starr, Cole and Hope

"Where do you go when you have nothing to cling to? Your head in the clouds, the rainbows behind you. Its so hard to breathe, always searching for Hope. but lost are those eyes, the life line so keep holding on to me, Live for Today's Dream, Tomorrow's what will be? Look and You will find you have One Life to Live."
Another great actor who has already left the show; Brandon Buddy who played Cole Thornhart. Starr's Romero and First love. Cole will survive and He will always love Starr. In the latest episode Cole stepped in front of Starr to shield her from a gunshot. That is the power of True Love, which is what Starr and Cole have. Despite the breakup and short relationship with James, I know Starr still Loves Cole. I know once he is released from prison, he will return to his family and to Starr. <3 He is also looking to reunite with his parents and I hope he gets to. 

Lanston and Markko were such a cute couple, I Loved it when they got together at Prom Night. You're the Freak! I loved the playful exchanges of witty banter and the random styles of both char caters. I liked how each character pursued their own talents. Markko with screenplay and Langston and writing, despite Ford Langston and Markko found happier endings. I hope Starr and Cole find a Happy Ending! 

Like I said, all the characters I have grew to know will be missed. I even remember the forgotten characters like Officer Fish, the newest police office who saved the day and got his baby girl. He was an awesome character and a good guy. One thing OLTL does is deal with real issues. Bullies, teen pregnancies,
Viki is the main character of this show, if anyone would be the main character it would be her. She is the biggest person who I have always admired. Her character is always so loving, caring and understanding. She is also fighting for her life in the previous episode today. She is a mother, a wife, a friend, a wonderful person who I always root for and I know she will have a happy story in the end. Whatever happens, I just hope I could have person in my life like Viki. Clint her husband, I'm Iffy about but since he has accepted his Son and Grandson I guess he is okay. Rex, Gigi and Shane. I would also tease my little sister, "Emmie, You could be a soap star on OLTL and be Shane's girlfriend." One thing I really loved about this show was the real issues discussed and shown in this show. Shane being bullied, when I become a teacher I will never be so blind, I will be as great as a teacher like Marcy was for Starr's time in High School. Jack, I am glad you finally figured it out, Teasing and bullying is worthless and stupid. Sam, way a go buddy! I too have Spiderman as one of my favorite superheros, but you need to get better at keeping secrets. 
Jessica, Bree, Ryder and Ford, I am soo happy for your little family to bud, Natalie I've never liked, but her and Jared's love was amazing. Speaking of amazing love stories, before Ford and Jessica's happy ending, there was Jessica and Nash. Now there was an amazing character but as always Nash and Jared died tragically. John and Natalie, I never understood you both.... Marcy and Michael were good to John and Gigi as well. Bo, Nora, Matthew and Destiny, I wish you both the best but I am afraid your story was overlooked. Sean was by far one of my favorite characters. He started out being the bodyguard of Vincent. The new guy in town who was pursuing  Layla, Evangelin's baby sister. Sean was Mr. Tall Dark and Handsome, then he pretended to be "George" to be a pretend Boyfriend, but his true calling was being a good friend and big brother to Destiny. Sean also saved Starr and Hope from Drug Dealers and took a bullet and survived. If that alone wasn't enough, towards the end of the show, the audience was able to see him happy with Vivian his new Doctor girlfriend. Blair, Todd, Tea' and Victor, I 'll come back to you but as for Dani and Nate, I thought your lovey dovey relationship was average but doesn't hold a candle to Starr and Cole. Tea' and (Todd) I mean Victor Jr. I loved watching the love hate relationship. Blair, the only thing I can say about you is that despite the fact you fail as a mother concerning Jack. I quote: "I am so glad, Your are not a murder, Jack!" That's something every mother hopes to say as she hugs her Son. At least, you were there and supportive of Starr but your loser picks in Men can scar you for life, I still can't believe how many husbands you have had, and how many men you have slept with. Then You overlook the one decent man, Thomas' but instead you look back into the past at Todd??!! 
My only regret is the Show OLTL will not be on the air long enough for Everyone to find out the truth, Yes! Jack was Right, Todd killed Victor Jr. I Hate the fact that Blair will Never know!!! I would have loved to see the look of betrayal on Blair's face, on Starr's face, on Viki's face and Jack's face along with Tea's satisfied face of Justice. No one will know but us and I despise that man getting away with another low-life crime.  

This show will be missed, My sister Emily and I have been going through morning since last week, we have been remissing about the old shows and re watching the Starr and Cole romance, we know its too late to save this show but I hope you know what this show gave me and gave my sister. We are not alone in this but some requests we have from YOU the ABC Company. First, Please allow the Fans to buy the One Life to Live TV show in Seasons. You can go by years, and sell the DVDs of the TC show. The Second request is to please sell the Original songs from the Show. I personally would Buy the songs, especially the songs Kristen Alderson sings.

  The song Starr sings Here.  The song starts at 6:40. This song is so Beautiful.  





 The Song Starr sings "Together" is the best version.






 This is my Facebook post:
 
To All Those Who are feeling the love and loss of One Life To Live. My little sister, Emily Bergez and I am devastated in finding out OLTL is NOT appearing online in the future. It was like false hope was given then taken away. ;( I am not sure who else is upset but I want Everyone to know Shows like The Chew and lame baka shows like The Young and the Restless or whatever crappy show will remain on the air instead of OLTL are worthless shows that never give the happiness we get from this show; the drama, the love, the loss, the wonder and the mystery we receive from the all time favorite show OLTL. I cant speak for others but from all the articles I read the online productions of OLTL and AMC will not air online due to time constraint which I could care less just so long as It will appear again. Please tell this is not over yet......
