Tivo allows me to watch way too much TV. Here are my top favorites: Grey's Anatomy, Ugly Betty, Private Practice, How I Met Your Mother, Big Bang Theory, Brothers & Sisters, Desperate Housewives, 4400, Ghost Whisperer, Medium, Monk, I added Lipstick Jungle to my lineup, House, M.D., Nip Tuck, CSI: Las Vegas, CSI: N.Y. , Pushing Daisies, Samantha Who? , I can't wait every Thurs and Sunday for Quarterlife online!!, Who doesn't love The Simpsons, ooh and I can't help but watch my reality TV - Top Chef, Amazing Race, America's Next Top Model is a hilarious way to torture future models!! :o), Kitchen Nightmares, Hell's Kitchen, Little People Big World, Jon & Kate Plus Eight, Dancing with the Stars, and So You think You can Dance!!!

Everyone should read the Da Vinci Code, awesome book. Ishmael was also an excellent read!

Heroes:

What is a hero?
"Children need to see that they can achieve just like real heroes - they can make mistakes, learn from them, keep striving, and eventually succeed. I CAN is a powerful message that REAL heroes can teach." - Dr. Dennis Denenberg
My heroes are My Mommy of course for raising me as a single mom and doing such a wonderful job and she still helps me with everything!! My wonderful hubby Luis and my best friend Nicole for growing up in situations where they could be totally different people with poor outlooks on life, but instead became two beautiful people. Luis is the sweetest, humblest, most generous person I know. He is a caring, loving, thoughtful husband that puts everyone else before himself. I am so proud of him. He's a wonderful husband and father.
As for public figures, I would also have to say Alice Paul for women's suffrage, as one of the leading figures responsible for the passage of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution (she kicked ass) and Margaret Sanger as the leading advocate for women's birth control. She set up the first birth control clinic in the United States and believed women should be able to protect themselves from having babies if they didn't want to!!
Charles Darwin is a hero to me for making Evolution a reality in the minds of people by providing scientific evidence that all species of life have evolved over time from one or a few common ancestors through the process of natural selection. The fact that evolution occurs became accepted by the scientific community and the general public in his lifetime!
Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. as The Voice of Equality for all people and races, not just blacks. His eloquent speeches can still be heard and felt today.
