Well, if you say, "Living or dead," it would have to be 1. Richard Pryor, 2. Bill Cosby, and 3. Sinbad. Richard Pryor's comedy is the litmus test for ALL comedians. He was just the best. But to be honest, for me, a tie, in third place, would be George Carlin. Carlin told it how it is.
Children, but especially babies, laughing. When a baby or child laughs, everything in the world is okay. It just makes you feel good.
I'd love to visit Egypt, Japan, and Iran. Egypt, because of the historical sites, and I've always wanted to go there. Japan because it has always fascinated me, and all of the vibrant colors there. Iran because that is where my husband is from, and because of the religion, architecture, and history there.
The perfect Sunday is what is happening right now. My children is at their Grandmother's house for a couple of days. My husband is at work, and I have the whole day to myself. I don't have to fight for the remote. I can read without being interrupted. I can do chores at my own pace. Just a lovely, lazy morning. The only thing that would make it even better is if I didn't have to go to work, and my husband stayed over at hare mother's house over night. Ahh, dreams!

My children's laughter. NOTHING is more beautiful sounding. Nothing is more sincere. Their laughter gives me hope and total joy. These are not my children, but, you see what I mean. Happy, laughing, enjoying life.
My son Ali is not doing his homework!! He is finding every reason to not do it. Also, what is it about boys and men that they can not LIFT THE LID!! AAHH!!
My all-time celebrity crush is Michael Jackson. But since he is no longer with us, I'd say it's Lenny Kravitz. OMG!!! That man is sooooo fine!!! He has the best voice. I just want him to call me in the morning and say, "Veada. It's time to wake up." AAAAHHHHH!!! I'd prefer for him to to be next to me and say it, but I think my husband might have an issue with that.
Whenever I am feeling low, songs from Michael Jackson always makes me feel better. I'll start listening to his music from when he was a child, all the way to adulthood, and be amazed. To hear someone emote feelings and emotions that can inspire you, uplift you, make you want to dance, that is a gift. He truly loved to sing, and you can hear that love.
