Trust Your Goodness
About five years ago I was hanging out in a room with people that I would consider to be like family. I remember them bluntly saying “Angie if you want to get places and have success you have to be a b*tch.” Remember these were people I considered family, I trusted their advice and respected their opinions. However, this time was different, this time life had shown me that you could be a “b*tch” and get places but that comes at the cost of your reputation, frustration, and when you look at it big picture it's such a short-term approach to life.

Learning To Smile Again
Before anyone asks, yes, I personally suffer from depression. While many think it's a choice (much like sexual orientation for some reason) I believe it's genetic, as I come from a family of artists and, let's face it, the most creative people seem to have the biggest mental issues.

Cancer Cured
Cancer is a most malignant scourge. But, it is the research to find a cure that continues in fleecing the American public out of billions of dollars every year. For no apparent reason other than greed by the pharmaceutical industry, our elected officials and insurance companies the American public continues to be deceived by the media, much of the medical community and the FDA into thinking that the only way to come up with a cancer cure is to donate more money into it's research. It is this type of merry-go-round by the media that is praying on the public's gullibility with all those obtrusive advertisements we see practically every few minutes on TV begging for more money. It is your hard earned dollars that continually keeps this false pretense that cancer research to be successful only depends on gaining more cash. This type of ploy to dupe the public into thinking that only more cash funneled in cancer research will bring about a cure, when in fact they know all along these billions of dollars donated just keeps the advertisers seeking more funds for research. The ever elusive cure continues to elude those researchers just so the money keeps flowing in. Then again maybe there really is a magic pill out there? But, it just maybe hidden behind a veil of secrecy just so the money train keeps right on rolling along.

The Cell Phone Controversy
Ever since the advent of the cell phone many believe that cancer in its many forms increases with each new user. Now, the medical community as well as International Association For Research On Cancer have definitive findings that the cell phones and cell phone towers themselves all have had a hand in the increase of cancer rates all over the world. In order to understand the risks involved in contracting any form of cancer from cell phones one has to know just how cell phones today operate. All cell phones emit radio frequency energy, that much we know or should know. This form of non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation which is absorbed by tissues closest to where the phone is held is the main factor that puts light on the fact that cancer can be developed. A focal point of cancer research. The amount of radio frequency energy a cell phone user is exposed to depends on the technology of the phone, the distance between the phone’s antenna and the user, the extent and type of use, and the user’s distance from cell phone towers.
