Humorous rants and observations from a natural redhead who grew up in NC, became a lawyer despite no money or pedigree, has lived in NYC for over a decade and survived things that make COVID-19 look like weak sauce by comparison
Air conditioning is critical in summer, especially if you are a natural redhead or live in the US on the East Coast. Don't mess with a Southerner's A/C unless you've got a death wish.
Pic is a Windmill air conditioner, one of the best you can get since you can control it through an app; it's not cheap but it's well worth it.
There's been a lot of attempt to move the goalposts on sexual consent, especially with respect to women who are 18-24. Yet minors are competent to choose puberty blockers and the same age group can vote, drive cars and join the military?
Stock pic of a heart with hands. Also a guest appearance from my cat.
A topic I haven't dealt with but actually is relevant to my life story.
This stock pic is my take on drinking, having had an alcoholic father who wasn't a fun, silly, happy drunk.
Thinking about how to describe culture then, "ho chic" came to mind for me.
The pic is of me in the 2000s. I was definitely NOT ho chic but also wasn't a prude since I continue to rebel heavily from that.
In the age of authenticity, why am I still being told to be ashamed of who I am and beg for the approval of others like a dog? I feel like this has been my penultimate limiting belief that's affected my money flow.
The pic is of a waterfall in a park I passed by in downtown Oklahoma City when I went to a business convention last year that isn't directly related to what I actually do. The trip itself was memorable but a l...
It's official; I'm unemployed. Now comes the hunt for doing what I want to do on a permanent basis where I can pay bills and not feel disrespected, underutilized or unappreciated.
This pic is from a trip to the Museum of American Finance back when you could visit in person. I just learned it's all virtual now.
Some words on the student loan debate and why you don't leave smart kids out in the cold.
This is a pic from the top of the bell tower at my college, where I got to hit the bell to commemorate 20 years since I graduated from there.
A gripe I've had forever that just popped up. Basically, learn some Psych 101 if you want to get people to do the "right" thing when it's not fun or something people want to do.
This pic is a prime example of what happens when you make things inconvenient like not having enough cart return spots or not keeping them clear of shopping carts.
After illness, I'm back and reflecting hard on this one since I have clothing and a professional career I'm looking at where changes should be made.
This is the first evening dress I got and I wore it to my sorority chapter's Installation banquet. Debating on whether to keep that or not.
Who hates when someone offers you something, you take it and then your acceptance is thrown back in your face? Is it a difference between dog people and cat people?
Random Gideon Bible here since God sides with me on this topic.
I've pondered this for years and still don't have an answer. Also, life updates.
For those unfamiliar, this is the old 5 Pointz in Queens. It was destroyed by bureaucracy and the problem I'm mentioning here.
Musings about the recent CEO shooting in NYC and the sudden concern of Jordan Neely's family in light of the Daniel Penny trial.
I saw this at a weekend flea market and it sums up the sentiment around the recent CEO shooting even though that guy killed him vs. just kicking his butt.
In light of recent death affecting me and having dealt with it a lot before, I figured now was the time to do that episode.
This is Grim from "The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy," a great show you should see if you can. Grim has a Jamaican accent and, of course, he's the Grim Reaper so only fitting that he be the pic here.
Unless you like creating drama or have a death wish, you don't do this. I have a sister and if you dated her, I'm not dating you. No exceptions.
Random Subway artwork that sums it up nicely.
I got a new mic so trying out a video format with some musings. Next week, I'll be having a guest and hopefully you won't be seeing my cat's butt on camera.
This realization was shocking to me. I was also testing out my wireless mic and the cat jumped on me so pardon any audio messiness.
Pic is from the Judge Jerry set. I still maintain he'd have been a great president but more on that in a future episode.
The age old issue of long lines at the ladies room died with the transgender people (particularly women) getting to use the ladies rooms. What's good for the goose and all that.
Saw this street artwork at random one day. Anyone got a comment or ideas on that one?
The term "drama" is very subjective when it comes to relationships but I finally figured out what that means for me.
Pic is a Bob Ross Pop doll. His passing involves a LOT of drama; check out the Netflix documentary on that one.
They will. I just learned about the concept of rage rooms this week. The pic is what the inside of the trampoline park I went to looked like (but not the same place I went--I found this image at random).
It's an age old topic but I bring a nuanced take and a recent event (recorded Sunday so "last night" refers to Saturday night).
These are unstuffed peppers I made for me at home. This is the type of cooking skill I have that makes me a rarity in NYC.
