...And His Name Was Abraham (Review or Better Yet...
As a child I wasn’t discouraged to read on my free time, but my lack of enthusiasm that was my dyslexia didn’t help. Since my graduation from mandatory reading, I have found it useful and interesting. I recently read “Abraham Lincoln; Vampire Hunter”, which I read for many reasons, but the more interesting, and less mediocre excuse for a history major like myself, is...

What’s up, brochachos!!! So, last week I saw the much anticipated Prometheus- brought to you by Ridley Scott and was wonderfully surprised!

YOU WERE THE CHOSEN ONE!!! →

Let’s rename the iconic Big Ben tower and it’s clock that is the centerfold of Parliament, after the Queen. Now, when you visit our cousins across the pond, you will feast your eyes on...
