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 for a long time. Every time we have a tragedy, the topic comes up, the NRA SAYS NOTHING and we get…

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 Dodo.

I honestly wish I could feel sorry for them but I don’t. The reason that I don’t is because I grew up with…

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.

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 a damn and I am too sarcastic. Now as I sat there and listened to how because I haven’t…

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. Some people take the calculated risk and some embrace the fall because they are…

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 a young lady who went on a date with Mr. Ansari and from the beginning of the story, the date was already headed for…
