I live in the NorthWest side of Pennsylvanis right up by Lake Erie. My family and I have had the pleasure of viewing many different meteorites since we have lived here. I remember riding my bicycle to the gym one evening and while...

I remember way back when i was 12 years old when I used to go outside with a blanket and count the falling stars that I saw. They always used to scare me, a tiny fear in the pit of my stomach.... just because I knew and understood that...

I'm always glimpsing up at the sky, searching for that one moment in time where my hopes and my dreams are just a glimpse away... They say to wish on a falling star and well because of how rare you catch it, you never know it just might...

Yes it's true I saw a falling star right before my sexy eyes, and his name was the one and only Charlie Sheen. He went from a hit T.V. show to not being on that show anymore, but all in all I think rocking horse Charlie will be just...

You can see them falling all the time when you get out of town, out of the city, and away from light pollution and into a place that has nothing but the moon and stars to light the night.
Better yet, camp for the night on top of a...

I grew up in the country and there were many nights that I'd go outside and wish upon falling stars. I love to watch them and every now and then on my way back from the farm, I'll see one go across the sky. It brings back memories from...
