Host, HISTORY OF COLOR & TV ATE MY BRAIN I am a mother, wife and current nursing student as well as life student. I've packed many experiences into my life and am looking forward to more. I love writing, science fiction (particularly A.I. driven stories) as well as pop culture and history. I have a passion for good and for timeless style. I always look to have my ideals challenged and to meet people that have different life experiences and points of view.
