2022 It’s not about you, it’s about ME!

Oh 2022, it’s January, and I’ve got no lofty goals or lists, just one thing on my mind, ME! For many years, I’ve either been in a relationship or pursuing a relationship. This is the longest time period I’ve been without a relationship that I can honestly say I’m not at all concerned about getting…

American Icon: The Notorious RBG

Today, Saturday, September 19th 2020, is the first day that we sadly wake up to a world without Ruth Bader Ginsberg in it. A tiny woman in stature but not in ability or power. She’s been called a legend, a titan, a powerhouse, an icon, and an idol. She is all that and more. I…

We Will Never Forget 9/11

Today is a very somber day for ALL Americans. If you were alive on 9/11/2001 you remember with painfully sharp clarity how these events unfolded. For me, I was finishing my last year of university in Buffalo, NY and had only just returned to the U.S. that summer from a year abroad in Italy. I…

The Haves: Whiny Whiny I See Your Hiney!

The Trump era has introduced us to a whole plethora of horrors we never really thought we’d be exposed to, like a President who flirts with dictatorship, hypocrisy in warp drive, and a complete untethering between people and reality.  Recently, I had what could only be described as a surreal conversation with a new friend…

Death by a Thousand Paper cuts!

Well it’s a Sunday morning a few days before my birthday and I’m doing what many people do on their birthdays before the parties are done and the cake is all eaten, I’m wondering exactly where I am in my life? Well, I just ordered a home blood pressure kit (feeling old, check). I haven’t…

Alex, I’ll take “You’re Fucked” for 500

As I perused through the morning news, I came across an advice column where a 38 year old woman was debating what to do about an unplanned pregnancy with a guy she’s been dating for only a couple of months.  When you find yourself knocked up by the guy you are having sex with and…

May the force (of love) be with you!

As I watched the news today and saw footage of the elder President Bush shaking hands and greeting visitors who came to give their respects to his beloved wife of 75 years and it broke my heart. I know he must be feeling lost without her. Sadly, I don’t think he’ll last long without his…

Happy New Year. Yay for January, here we go again.

Well, here are we again. Another year down. Tonight we celebrate the end of December, a month of people pretending to give a shit about each other, followed by a night of crazed connection and cocktails that will make us all feel nostalgic, romantic, pensive, optimistic and magical; as if we’ll wake up tomorrow shiny…

Just shut up & sing!

With the horrific events of last November, I’ve heard many people bemoan on Face Book and in other forms of social media that entertainers, musicians and actors should sit down and shut their fucking mouths and just entertain us. We don’t need to hear about your political beliefs. Keep that to yourselves. They voice this…

Saints, spies and super bossy guys

BBC Article After reading an article on the BBC about a disturbing connection in Russia where Putin is blending religion, nationalism, patriotism and conservatism into one evil mixture I can see America heading in the same direction, especially with this current administration. The current President has a fascination, admiration and even looks up to dictators….

To hell with you! Not if I can help it.

Every morning I typically start my day reading various news and articles and this morning was no different. Except that in my morning reads I read an article that contained a few phrases that hit me like a punch to the gut. Every now and then as we plug along in our lives of mundane…
