In March the Power
Rangers movie came out. When I saw it, I loved it and to my surprise, I wasn’t the only grown up in the
movie theater (as there were other adults present and filled with as much
excitement as kids.) Originally, I was hesitant about seeing it, especially
since a bunch of different television versions came out that weren’t too great.
I’ve been a Power Rangers fan since
the original series aired and I believe the original version was definitely the
best. Kimberly, the Pink Ranger and Pterodactyl, was always my favorite and I even had an action figure when I was a
kid. I thought she was so cool. She was
girly and could kick butt, what’s not to like? Overall, I was impressed with
the remake and thought it was well done. The storyline, cast, and action
delivered beyond my expectations and the fact that the Red Ranger was a total
hottie helped too lol. I also loved the diversity of the cast and the chemistry
that flowed. It’s nice when remakes are made that don’t completely destroy the original.
Power Rangers was awesome and
definitely worth checking out.

That’s what that dream was about. God, what’s going on? As I continued washing dishes, I started crying and praying. Then in mid-spring, my dad held an unexpected family meeting that would change all our lives forever. He hesitated at first, and as his voice started cracking and he started crying, he said, “Well, I wanted to talk to ya’ll to tell you that I have kidney disea...
