I’m officially done with so called hookups from family, friends and acquaintances aka the “homeboy hookups”. All of these so called hookups always end up costing me more in the end, both financially and with time and favors owed, and I rarely get the quality of the product or services that I need whenever I […]
I learn something new every day. Whether it is about myself or just knowledge gained from a subject I knew little to nothing about. I am fascinated about life, both in all that I have learned as well as the marvel of how little I know. These feeling are never overwhelming, in fact the opposite […]
Some of you are so set in ways that clearly aren’t working: you feel like life is a series of moments of déjà vu. We do not have to be trapped in a perpetual “Groundhog day”. Yet if we keep voluntarily following the same path of wrong or questionable decisions, how can we expect anything […]

College applications are the first major example soon followed by resumes and eventually your first real jobs. We are constantly prodded and challenged to […]
What happens when you wake up everyday and it’s a combination of Groundhog Day directed by M. Night Shyamalan? I know I am alive (or at least I think so) but I know I see them walking and seemingly living among us… I See Wack People. To whatever degree “Wack” may be dated (no worry, […]
Years ago there was a best selling book that was out titled “Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus.” I never it read it, cause I just couldn’t get past the title, but evidently millions of others did, as it highlighted the seeming differences between men and women.
