Cuban Mojito Recipe (http://www.tasteofcuba.com/mojito.html)
the original authentic recipe from Havana Cuba1 teaspoon powdered sugarJuice from 1 lime (2 ounces)4 mint leaves... 1 sprig of mint Havana Club white Rum (2 ounces)2 ounces club sodaThere are countless recipes for the Mojito (prounced moh-HEE-toh), but this version is for the one Hemingway himself enjoyed at the Mojito's place of birth: La Bodeguita del Medio in Havana, Cuba. If you are throwing a Cuban theme party (Havana night themed party), plan on serving mojitos.

Another Recipe from (http://www.drinksmixer.com/drink582.html)
3 fresh mint sprigs, 2 tsp sugar, 3 tbsp fresh lime juice, 1 1/2 oz light rum, club soda.... In a tall thin glass, crush part of the mint with a fork to coat the inside. Add the sugar and lime juice and stir thoroughly. Top with ice. Add rum and mix. Top off with *chilled* club soda (or seltzer). Add a lemon slice and the remaining mint, and serve.

Perry Mason

I finished a Perry Mason story in one night... The other night, I couldn't sleep and took an old book from the bookshelf... Demure Defendant by Erle Stanley Gardner... If you know Gardner you know that I didn't put the book down until I read the last sentence... There is always action, there is always tension, there is always something to keep your mind busy, there is always something to be curious about... From the first page through the end, it never slows down... It is just clever...

I don't understand why some books are having such problem to get to the point... Those authors are bitting around the bushes a lot... I am a book worm - well, I was- until recently... I am trying to read a book for a month now and I am not sure if I can make it to the end... There are three books on my nightstand that are waiting for me to finish... One of those is sitting there for almost four months... I am trying, I am... However, I don't think I am going to make it... I know that if a book couldn't have my attention in first 10-20 pages, then I am lost... It is the same thing for a movie, too...

I really admire my friends who can insist on a bad movie or a book through the end... I tried... I tried... I am not a quitter... But sorry, I don't have time to spend on something that I am not going to enjoy or learn from... Hey, at least I tried... It just meant not to be, I guess...

Zodiac

I am not a fan of horror, thriller, crime movies however I watched this one because it was a real story and Robert Downey Jr. was playing in it... Yeah, it had its moments but I think as a whole it was really an average movie... The end is total disappointment... It is too long and has no ending...

Social Life in New York

I am still not sure if New York is a social city... Sure, people are friendly... Sure, you can have a quick yet detailed conversation with the person who sits right beside you in a coffee house or train (But, that's it. No connections)... Sure, people are in the streets in any time of the day and night thanks to subway... Sure, there are tons of events that you can participate, parties you can have fun, dance, drink etc... No problem so far, right?... Then listen to this... What is it that makes every single person alone in this city?.. Why is everyone talking about being unhappy and alone? Why is everyone going to a coffee place, sitting behind their laptop screens and looking for someone on dating websites?.. Aren't they have a sofa and coffee at home? Of course they do... And we all know that they are out because they want company... Isn't this so ironic !?!?

Hey, leave your laptops at home and talk to each other... And try to accept people as who they are... Being aware of that money, job, or laptops don't bring you happiness is a plus... Let's face that... So we can make a progress (I am not a psychologist, just trying to help by 'making a point without making an enemy-Isaac Newton')... One more by him "We build too many walls and not enough bridges."

Anna Nicole Smith

I was shocked to my very core when I first heard about the death of Anna Nicole Smith... It is not because everything happened in a short period of time or ... She was so young... I still can't believe she is dead because of natural causes ... I was surprised to hear when her son is dead, too... Don't you think it is so weird that two very young human being died in the same family one after the other?..

Yes, I know they were using drugs. I know she was doing this for a long long time... Yes, someone can disagree with my thoughts. Someone can say that she was doing it for a long time and her body just collapsed as a result of the accumulation of those drug's side effects and the devistation of her son's death.... But, if this is the case then how anyone can explain her son Daniel's death... Was he using drugs as long as she was? Were each of them overdosed? So, they just couldn't know how much drugs they should take that they were using for a long time... I don't think so... Let's say Daniel decided to commit suicide while he was visiting his mother in the hospital for a happy event... Then why would Anna Nicole do it? She just had a baby... So on...

As you see I can go on with these kind of questions and I can find another question for any explanation... I think there is too many questions about her and his son's death... I am suspicious that both of them maybe killed... Who did it? I have a conspiracy theory for that... But, I just don't want to accuse someone without any proof... I hope police would digg this indicent more... Is there anyone who can say that I have a sick mind and am hallucinating about this... Am I being paranoiac again? Or is the anyone who think what I think?

Be Aware, Not Be Used

I am, of course, supporting all the non-profit organizations that fights against global warming, aids or works to help kids but I don't like their approach sometimes... I feel like some of these communities are working for a good purpose, but at the same time, they are promoting some commercial organizations... What is the point?... So, I'd say be aware... Are we trying to support an action for a good deed or are we just being used?... Is it all about politics or promoting some businesses?..

Think about it... Do not just join to the herd...

HGTV and Food Channel

If there was a travel channel on my cable that would be in the headline, too... We are using the basic cable... It's because I love to watch movies, sitcoms and all those channels which broadcast shows that I can learn something new or interesting... Do you still ask 'why'?.. I wouldn't be able to leave home at anytime... I don't want to be a couch potato... Plus this city (NYC) is the wrong one for the people who don't want to be social., or live a social life... So, I keep it simple and go to a theatre or rent a movie when I want to...
