My Dysfunctional Relationship with Water OR My Messy Breakup with Soda…
I mentioned it once so I might as well mention it again; growing up, I didn’t drink water. I thought this clear, tasteless, non sugar having crap was pointless. Why drink something with no flavor? That’s like eating air. I got no satisfaction from it. I wanted soda—sweet sugary carbonated goodness. Preferably Pepsi. Had to [...]
Full StoryImpromptu Spa Day or How I keep sane in my hectic life…
I will be the first to admit that I have days…those days where every thing gets on my very last nerve; slow drivers, folks that act like signal lights are optional, people calling my cell phone, drizzle at 5am, forgetting to set my TIVO, the battery running out on my laptop…On a normal day, I [...]
Full StoryGrocery Store Gauntlet…
I have never been able to just run into the store and run out. Even with a well thought out grocery list, written out to follow the lay out of the grocery store, I still can’t just run in and run out. It’s not just the baskets being stuck together that hinder my progress. Or [...]
Full StoryDancing montage…
It’s my favorite part from the movie ‘The Sweetest Thing‘…well, besides the peter song. But yeah, the dancing montage..a lost art from the 80′s, I would say. Since the nation, the world…hell, everyone under the sun, is obsessed with fitness and staying in shape, I say bring back the dancing montage. When your song [...]
Full StoryMy Ultimate Pet Peeve…
Most would say that I’m easily annoyed…I mean, I will admit to being easily annoyed. Certain things just get to me, like folks going below the speed limit for no reason. Or getting into the slowest grocery line. Or people who jaywalk right in front of my car and take next to forever to get [...]
Full StoryDriving: A Lesson in Multitasking…
So it has come to my attention over the last year or so that those law making folks want us to drive and nothing else. So out here in the west, they have already banned driving while holding a phone to your ear and just recently, they have banned driving while texting. And now, I [...]
Full StoryOn the Eve of Change…
A few years ago, I had to write a paper about racism; Is Racism Dead? Through my research, which included some surveys (i.e. me pestering family and friends to answer a bunch of questions), I came to the conclusion that racism was far from dead; it was taboo. At one point in my paper, I [...]
Full StoryEver get that feeling that anything is possible?
Yeah, me neither until November 4, 2008. Prior to that, I had negative thoughts…yes, you read right, I felt negative…I admit it. There were days when I didn’t feel like trying. Kind of like ‘what is the point’.I mean, no matter how hard I try, it will never be enough. Or I’ll never make it. [...]
Full StoryAnd They Called Me Cheap…
Ya’ll want to know the definition of cheap…here, lemme get it for you: cheap: noun – at minimum expense. Now how about we throw a green spin on the word that is frowned upon. An insult even. Cheap is doing things at the minimum expense and being green is all about conserving…every thing. So maybe cheap [...]
Full StoryE-waste – HELLLLLOOOO!!!
E-Waste! HELLLLOOOO!!! I remember a time in my life when people had answering machines…you know, the ones with the tapes. And I remember when I thought it was sooooo cool that Zach on ‘Saved By the Bell’ had that cell phone that was about the size of a compact car. Oh, and then there were [...]
