Another One Bites The Dust
There is no integrity anywhere, not even in the world of journalism. Bye, Bye Charlie Rose. And now adios Matt Lauer. I remember back in the day, when Lauer still had hair, that he was described as an eligible bachelor. All I wanted to do was gag. I guess “good looks” overshadows bad (read: despicable) […]
Reflecting
A lot of “news” has focused on the sexual harassment in Hollywood. Then there were the social media hashtags of “#metoo.” It got me thinking of reflecting on my own life. Had I ever been sexually harassed? My initial thought was no, but today I thought more about it. The more I thought about it, […]
[15] Sister Celebration
April 10, was National Siblings Day. I am fortunate to have one of each, but I especially wanted to recognize my sister. Although I probably have many emotional scars thanks to her, I have even more to be truly thankful for. Here are some highlights: First non-home haircut: My sister took me to a salon […]
[14] That’s Not Bill Cosby, That’s My Dad
It’s Father’s Day again. So, this year I thought I’d blog a bit about my dear old dad. When I was a kid, I thought I had the meanest dad on the planet. When my sister and I would fight, his face in the doorway and his death stare was enough to make us freeze […]
[31] 13″ Going on 30′
February 2015 has been a busy moviegoing month for me. I saw a total of 11 (8 being the 2015 Best Picture nominees, 2 based on books, and 1 oldie but one of my all-time faves) movies on the big screen. This is quite an accomplishment for me, considering my viewing history. Also, yesterday, my […]
[30] Not the Sharpest Tool in the Shed
Recently, I saw a post on Facebook regarding adults recalling some funny things they thought when they were kids. For example, one person wrote that when they saw flashbacks in movies, they thought it was pretty cool that they had the foresight to be making movies 20-30 years back. I have plenty of them. I’ll […]
[In Memoriam] Nine Eleven Two Thousand One
I’ve never been to New York, and have never even been close. But it doesn’t matter. What happened 13 years ago today still resonates with those near and far. Prior to the tragic events on 9/11/2001, I wasn’t around for many events that changed our world forever. So, I could never really understand the impacts […]
[29] Old School Crushin’ (aka Friendly Stalking)
In a a very special Throwback Thursday (#TBT) on Instagram (IG), I posted a picture of my middle school crush. It reminded me of how easy it is today to crush on someone and friendly stalk them on social media. Me, I didn’t have it so easy. Let me start from the beginning. I was […]

[All Aboard] TGRXPRS
I will probably remove this post when I come to my senses, but for now, I’ll leave it be. It’s almost mid-November. Normally I would kind of be happy. The holiday season is just around the corner, after all. But in 10 days from now, it will be 4 years since my teacher and good […]
[28] Reel Great Fun
“I was working in the lab when a radioactive spider bit me. Aah!” This is what I hear in my head any time I think about Spider-Man. Since I recently saw The Amazing Spider-Man, it sparked yet another memory: The Talking View-Master. When I was little, this was one of the most amazing things I played […]
