Ally Brooks — Sat, 13 Oct 2012 21:03:46 +0000

Every day on the drive home from Shreveport to Castor, I cross over Lake Bistineau. I remember crossing the beautiful lake as a child going to visit my grandparents who also lived in the same house I now live in. I always thought it was strange how a lake could be fill

For those of us who have had the misfortune of being bullied at some point during our life, Whitney Kropp is our hero. Whitney was nominated to Homecoming Court as a Sophomore Princess. She was so happy… until she found out it was a cruel joke. She said she felt, “like trash” and like no [...]

I Love Shreveport's Willie Jones [VIDEO]

Ally Brooks — Sat, 22 Sep 2012 20:16:18 +0000

Willie Jones wowed The X Factor Judges and the audience the other day when he sang. I love his style. I love his smile. I love his shoes. And I love how he looks around in disbelief that everyone loves him. Simon Cowell is always known for saying horrible things, but when he said he [...]

Rumor Has It: Adele's New Album

Ally Brooks — Sat, 15 Sep 2012 20:58:45 +0000

I heard someone say once that songwriters always write best when their hearts are broken. Which would explain why Adele’s 21 and 19 are so gut wrenching. A lot of people are wondering how her music will change now that love has found her. Some rumors are that her pregnancy will influence her album and there are jokes [...]

The Villagio in Bossier is going to be packed with people from our area who are pledging to Practice Safe Text. We have all been guilty of being distracted while driving, browsing the internet, texting, applying lipstick, turning around to check the baby...whatever...but today, we are ALL making the pledge to be safer on the road.

My daily commute is fairly long. I'm on the road at leas

You Know You're From Shreveport When…

Ally Brooks — Sun, 02 Sep 2012 16:24:26 +0000

A few months ago, in a crowded Minden Recreational Center in Minden, LA I was enjoying a Summer day softball game. People where everywhere and the team of 5th graders I was watching had a very enthusiastic group of parents cheering them on. Suddenly, out of nowhere there was a loud POP sound! Instinctively, I hit the [...]

I can’t believe I missed this. Have you seen the picture of the Wal-Mart cake that said, “Congratualations Joanne…Under Neat That…We Will Miss You!” That is what we call a cake fail. And this is what we call a Memorial Day Fail. Can you find what’s wrong with this picture?

Memorial Day: Honoring Jonas and Rob

Ally Brooks — Sun, 27 May 2012 15:28:26 +0000

Did you know that Memorial Day was originally known as "Decoration Day" and that women decorated graves of their loved ones with flowers instead of having a BBQ?

I remember when I went to my High School reunion in downtown Shreveport, I was so surprised to see one of my favorite people from High School, Jonas Kelsall, in uniform. He

have been messaging a friend from high school a lot lately because he and his wife have been helping out so much on the <a href=”http://965kvki.com/pray-for-emma/”>Pray for Emma </a>window sticker movement.

Pray For Emma

Ally Brooks — Sun, 29 Apr 2012 15:00:13 +0000

Last week, I asked for prayers as Emma went to St. Jude for her regular checkup. For the first time in 2 years, she didn’t come home with good news. In fact, she and her dad are heading back up there in a few days to confirm that the doctors believe her tumor has gone from a Stage 1 to a Stage 4 in 3 months

My Take-ABC's the Bachelor and Bachelorette Suit

Ally Brooks — Sun, 22 Apr 2012 15:35:46 +0000

So, two Nashville guys are suing ABC for discrimination. One an ex football player and the other, a multi-business owner, say they auditioned for The Bachelor, but believe they were purposely snubbed. One says he made it to the 2nd round of auditions, but his interview only lasted 20 minutes, while others lasted 45. Why

Ally Brooks — Sun, 08 Apr 2012 16:20:56 +0000

Since moving to the country, I have become very acquainted with my fear of spiders. Initially, I watched this video because I wanted to know who was the better kisser, but turns out, the spider part was way more juicy!

And on the 12th Day God Created…

Ally Brooks — Sun, 01 Apr 2012 12:07:53 +0000

Gatorbillies. Yes. I just made up a word.

Here's how it happened:

A friend in Ohio asked if I was participating in the record breaking lotto. Funny thing is, I actually have been participating in a work lotto pool lately, but this time, I just didn't get in it. He asked why... and

My Dietitian is Evil

Ally Brooks — Sun, 25 Mar 2012 14:12:20 +0000

So, I’ve been seeing this Nutrition Counselor for a few months now. Every month, I sit with her and she talks to me about food choices and how to make better ones. Although, I’m being forced to see her, I’ve tried to have an open mind about it, because I found it kinda interesting. She’s given some [...]

All the DIRTY on our fave celebs!

Ally Brooks — Sun, 11 Mar 2012 14:18:59 +0000

The first time I remember wondering about the way a celebrity smelled was with Oprah. I’m not sure why I wondered what she smelled like, but I did. I just always figured she must smell really good. But here lately, I’ve been noticing all the celebrities that look like they smell to me…like Russell Brand and Jack [...]

Sometimes I'm randomly deep

Ally Brooks — Sun, 04 Mar 2012 15:53:06 +0000

The picture above was sent to me by my friend, Melissa, on the left. I met the lady in the middle when I was just 12, and she gave me the ability to be on the radio. I brought my friends and my brother, and the rest is history. I wrote this Wednesday evening in [...]

Flipflops in February

Ally Brooks — Sun, 26 Feb 2012 15:11:45 +0000

When Summer came to a close, I decided to put my Summer clothes away, and replace them with my Winter ones. I guess I was trying to act on the relief from the heat... I don't know, but for some reason, putting my clothes in a storage facility in another town that I do NOT have a key to, seemed like a good idea at the time
