World Cup Proves We Need To Coexist On A Global Scale
While economists are saying the host cities for the World Cup might have a shortfall, I think what we’ve received in the last two weeks has been priceless. People from other countries are excited to be in America and Americans are actually excited to have them. Most of the host cities are the blue citiesContinue reading “World Cup Proves We Need To Coexist On A Global Scale”
A Few Good Mechanics
I have to brag a little on my mechanic. Earlier this year my AC compressor went out and I had been putting it off and off to get it fixed as I didn’t really need it during the winter. Then my water heater at home went out so I really needed to get that fixedContinue reading “A Few Good Mechanics”
We Need To Talk About Mens Mental Health Awareness
June is Mens Mental Health Awareness Month. I’m not surprised if you don’t know. Mental health is taboo too much with men. No one really wants to talk about it until someone goes nuts and shoots up a school, church, parade, concert, movie theater, etc. And then it briefly gets mentioned for a few daysContinue reading “We Need To Talk About Mens Mental Health Awareness”

‘Idiocracy’ Foretold This And We Didn’t Fucking Listen Enough
A fucking octagon for a UFC bout not many people really want but we’re still going to pay for if is being constructed on the White House lawn. This is so tacky and just ugly. People mocked Carter for being a peanut farmer and Clinton for being from Arkanasas. But in the last few days,Continue reading “‘Idiocracy’ Foretold This And We Didn’t Fucking Listen Enough”
Remember Those That Lost Their Lives This Memorial Day
While it’s been advertised as the start of the summer season, it’s actually a day to remember those who proudly wore the uniform of the U.S. Armed Forces but were killed in action. Sadly some of those returned home with injuries (both physically and mentally) of which they couldn’t heal.
