I am a serial entrepreneur. Many of my ventures were not particularly successful, but I would say overall I am definitely ahead of the game. I would of course like to think that I was a born hustler but truthfully my ambitions and willingness to play outside the box came from lessons learned from […]
Funerals are somber occasions, but a rite of passage in which we show our respect and recount the virtues of family and loved ones. Death causes much retrospection, not only toward the life of the person who has passed, but often towards oneself. In recounting someone’s life upon their passing we (mostly) speak glowingly […]
Most of us generally have no problems in voicing our gripes. Our loved ones, and even casual acquaintances are often the sounding boards, voluntarily or not to our diatribes. It is good to voice that displeasure. Internalized anger and frustration is bad on our mental and physical being. Pent up frustration and anger will eventually […]
Once upon a time… okay it wasn’t really that long ago… I was a certified asshole. I might have fell short of Jersey Shore alumnus status but I definitely had enough traits to make the list. Now, no one aside from my mother and a few ex-girlfriends, (under their breath and walking away), have […]

I wasn’t called […]
For a fifteen-year period I had four legged family members. The Two black labs overlapped by 3 years with Ty as my first and Dutch coming along three years later. I never grew up with dogs, living in a NYC apartment that simply did not allow them. In eighth grade I was briefly part of […]
“Now the thing is, though all of us in here getting money, that alone isn’t going to stop this. All right? Now, dedicating our lives to getting money just to give it right back for someone’s brand on our body, and now we pray to get paid for brands on our bodies?” Jesse Williams […]
Bill Cosby has been in the news for the past few years. I won’t go into detail, but unless you have not had any exposure to a television or newspaper you are aware that around four dozen women have accused Bill of a range of drugging and sexual assaults dating back over forty years. The […]
I am in good health (as far as I am aware). I work out regularly and do not eat nearly as horribly as I did a year ago. I have no plans to leave this earth anytime soon, but like many I possess a theoretical bucket list. You know the list of to do items […]
