I know the official start of summer isn’t until June 21st, but everyone in the United States knows that Memorial Day Weekend is the real, if not unofficial, start of summer. The North and Midwest have thawed out by now with their harsh winters a distant memories at least for the next three months. So […]
Excuse my less than sunny disposition, but I got into an altercation this morning and it left me feeling a little salty. It never actually got physical, but my encounter with the disrespectful muthaf**** first thing when I woke up was not fun. He wasn’t just disrespectful with the things he was telling me, but […]
The apparent suicide bombing in Manchester at the site of a Arianna Grande concert resulted in a present death toll of 22 with nearly 60 others injured in the explosion. My offering of my deepest sympathies and condolences, while genuine, seem so empty in light of yet another senseless terroristic attack, this time targeting an […]
Donald Trump and his administration are embattled and opponents of Russian Agent Orange look at every revelation that comes out, substantiated or not as the final smoking gun to lead to his impeachment if not actual eventual arrest… slow down, Son.

I just ate a bowl of loyalty for breakfast. It has been a creed I have lived by nearly my entire life. I played sports, and while not on a professional level, feel like I understand the locker rooms codes and relationships that are formed and abided by beyond just the regular existence of “Man […]
Terrorism, Fake news, lies, death, destruction, plague, natural disasters, Trump, politicians in general, mass shootings, racism disguised as populism or nationalism, pre-existing conditions, another Kardashian story… The news is beyond depressing… Anyone of us would be justified in completely shutting the world out in a pursuit of peace and sanity. Yet, how do you avoid […]
I know that people have jokes about the new shoe Big Baller Brand introduced for soon to be NBA draftee Lonzo Ball (The ZO2). Big Baller Brand is the line that Lavar Ball started and is trying to indoctrinate to the rest of the world as the next big thing. That all remains to be […]
