I'm not even going to pretend that I'm qualified enough to critique the masterpiece known as Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho. The film is pretty much near perfection in all regards and there is nothing I could say that hasn't been heard a million times before. However, there is one thing I want to talk about and that is, the differences between the movie and book. Alfred Hitchcock is quoted as saying that everything that is in Psycho was from the book by Robert Bloch. For the most part, that statement…

As I stepped into my new apartment on East State Street in Athens, Ohio it dawned on me that all along I fed on the love of my mother. Now in this empty space, love seemed far reached.

I have seen many airports in my travels, but none as small as the one I landed at in El Salvador. As the plane approached the gate, I said to my grandparents “This must be the smallest runway I have ever seen”, while thinking to myself “I can’t believe I’m in another country!”. The moment the plane landed, was the moment the greatest adventure of my life began. I traveled often as a child, for my mother’s family is from Missouri, so we took family vacations back to her hometown. I knew how…

While traveling my entire childhood, I experienced a mixture of cultural settings here and there. I went from being born up in North Dakota to moving around in south Texas. I never stayed in one city longer than a year when I was younger, so I got the chance to pick up a few things about my family heritage in every city I stayed in. While in San Antonio I learned from my mom the customs her mom taught her. While in Austin I got the chance to actually live with my grandparents from my mother’s…
