Well, my disability claim has been remanded on appeal for the third time, which means I’ll have a fourth hearing sometime between now and this time next year. Just FYI, when I began this journey, my mother was still alive, so was my girlfriend. I’ve had two serious relationships end, lost most of my furbabiesContinue reading “Here It Goes Again…And Again”

“A Republic If You Can Keep It”
It’s America’s 250th birthday today. And like a lot of thriving things, it needs care. But we never know how much for how long. We just have to keep a watch on it. When it rains, you don’t need to water your outside plants. When it’s dry, you need to help them with water. DuringContinue reading ““A Republic If You Can Keep It””
Have The Semiquincentennial Celebration You Deserve
With July 4 on a Saturday for America’s 250th celebration and the U.S. this far in the World Cup as everyone seems to love what’s been happening the last few weeks, it should’ve been a greater moment of celebration. Yet the Freedom 250 Great American State Fair is on its way to being a disasterContinue reading “Have The Semiquincentennial Celebration You Deserve”
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”
No Matter The Facts In Kohen Wiley’s Death, Some People Don’t Care
There’s a tasteless joke I once heard, “What does a black woman get when she has an abortion? $500 from CrimeStoppers.”D.L. Hughley said as a mere child a police officer slapped him hard for something that he’s going to do.

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.

Keep On Strokin’ Clarence Carter
Forty years ago during the waning years of the Satanic panic, a lot of songs were still under scrutiny by several Christian and/or parental groups. Therefore, a song like “Strokin’” would’ve never played on the radio or even MTV but only late at night.

SSDD In D.C. And IDGAF
Back in 1970, the world had grown so bored of the Moon landing flights that when Apollo 13 launched, the Big Three Networks (ABC, CBS, NBC) didn’t report as much as they did with the previous ones.

Prom Night is supposed to be one of those events that are a rite of passage as you making those last transitions from childhood into adulthood.
