18. 18 is the number of shootings that has happened in the United States in the last month and half. That’s right. 18 shootings in less than two months. Of course, the country is up in arms because we have been asking for gun control since Columbine. Sane Americans have been asking for gun control…
When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time. – Maya Angelou
Here we are again. More and more Trump voters crying that they feel betrayed by him. Tax bill gave back to rich & screwed the middle class and poor. Corporations got money back only to summarily begin laying people off. All the jobs he said he would protect are now going the way of the…
Black history is American history
Once again February has come around and it is black history month. Also, this brings the foolishness that black history is racist. But that of course is the excuse for the lazy. Some white people just wanna be mad to be mad. Realistically, these are the same fools that can tell you what their great…
Not every message is for you
Black twitter was set ablaze yesterday when the Singer/ Businesswoman Ciara posted a video about women who want to be wives. Her hashtag was #levelup. Almost immediately, the wanna be sociologists and psychologists were suggesting that she was just perpetuating the misgynoir about black women and marriage. Discussions about how preachers are always talking to…
A man lost in the woods
Justin Timberlake is releasing a new album. My younger me is more curious than my older me but not by much. See, when *NSYNC first came out, it was so extra to see 5 guys dancing in choreographed rhythm and just enjoying the tunes. I mean think most of the world had *NSYNC ‘s albums….
Too Methodical, too much sarcasm, be someone else
Yesterday was enlightening. I was called into the office. I was surrounded by my store manager, my ops/hr manager and my merchandise manager. We all know what this means. Either you are getting promoted or you are being put on warning. I was the latter. Seems my skills set is subpar, I can’t prioritize worth…
Earn it ( yeah right)
Pride goeth before the fall. This saying has never failed and will continue to plague every man, woman, child and business. There is this mentality has some people and corporations feeling they are too big to fail. This is when karma will usually drop them on their proverbial ass. Now, it doesn’t happen to everybody….
They were both wrong
This past weekend, I read a tweet talking about a man by the of Aziz Ansari. I state it like this because I know he is a comedian and has produced a show on Netflix. His show has received many accolades and has been received quite well. The story linked to the tweet was about…
Mediocrity is king
New Age brings with it a new reality of the mediocre. Social media has brought a wave of people who are mediocre at best. Meaning the work with humanity’s base instinct. Fart jokes. Crude humor and such. Now while there is nothing inherently wrong with that we seem to be flooded with so many that…
Define you for you
Funny how the world views you and how you view yourself. What makes it even funnier is when feelings get hurt when you show exactly who you are. It took me a long time to finally get comfortable in the skin I was born in. I didn’t look like anyone else and was made fun…
Good Morning on your first reset Day
Hello good people. Welcome. Welcome. Welcome to 2018. I know most of us have made conscience decisions of not making resolutions. We are now making more behavioral decisions namely the behavior of those around us. We need to take ourselves truly in hand. I know how hard it is to really face yourself but that…
End of 2017
As usual, the year ends and we begin reflecting on what life was during that year. 2017 was rough. Rough for not just me but for everyone I know. It wasn’t just because of who is currently sitting the White House though he did provide the catalyst and realization of how mentally backwards this nation…
