She was my first, I was her last

Last October, I had to make the grueling decision to put my mum in hospice. My mother suffered from high blood pressure all her life since she was a about 16, which lead to strokes and caused her vascular dementia. Dementia starts off slow at first, like pushing a boulder uphill but once you reach…

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…

Staying Alive, Staying Alive. Why Why Why Why Staying Alive.

Good morning. I don’t know why I woke up thinking about suicide and why society feels so negatively about it but here we are, that’s the gum ball that my mind has sent me for the day. When I wake up in the morning my brain is locked and loaded and firing on all cylinders,…

Let the Darwin Olympics Begin!

There is not a day that goes by that my social media feeds aren’t flooded with videos of Wonder Bread Warriors losing their collective ignorant shit over mask wearing. I’m just so SICK of seeing this nonsense. All of this stupidity is exhausting. Every day I wake up and think to myself “Now what 2020?!”…

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…

Don’t be the Mayor of Creepytown! A Practical Guide for Men.

When I heard Woody Allen’s statement regarding Weinstein it made me want to vomit. He just had to go there, to the grand extreme that he’s afraid men will be scared to be with women in their offices or in meetings for fear that they will need a lawyer present so that their behavior isn’t…

Me thinks he doth protest too much!

Trump is truly a repulsive human, but what I really hate about him is that he doesn’t really believe in anything, except his absolute right to do whatever he wants. Recently, at yet another political rally in Alabama, he spoke about Colin Kaepernick and called him a son-of-a-bitch and said that coaches should be able…

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….
