By Richard Ray Evidently I am literally late to the party. So a young lady in Atlanta decided to celebrate her 27th Birthday by organizing an orgy. I missed the notice, but evidently it was a real thing organized by a young lady named Cidney Green. I spend all of 2 minutes a day […]
KIDS THESE DAYS
I hear it all the time from either people with kids or simply old enough to have kids. The sentences are all some variation of “Kids these days…” followed by some denouncement of the state of today’s youth. Either kids today do not know anything… the music they listen to, particularly hip hop, is horrible […]
IS IT JUST ME
I need to start getting high!. Clearly this sober lucidity that I live within is handicapping me in this world of crazy, delusional irrationality. I am having far too many conversations with myself (perhaps that is the problem right there) in which I am starting with “am I the only one that sees this?” I […]
LAVAR BALL
He’s brash. He’s bold. He’s never at a loss for words. Hyperbole seems to be his best friend. He is one of the most polarizing figures in basketball, if not all of sports. He is Lavar Ball. All of those previous statements are subjective and up for debate. What is fact is that he […]
TAKING CHANCES
“You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take” I have been taking chances literally all my life. I would like to think most of it is innate, at least when it came to confidence in my physical abilities. That supreme confidence did not match my initial shyness and reluctance around people, particular of […]
CHILD SERVICES
I am thankful everyday that child services never came and took me away from my family! Dramatic opening statement, right?… I’ll explain further. Our politically correct society has gotten so soft that parenting methods that were once tolerated are now frowned upon, and by frowned upon I actually mean have potential criminal culpability. Some […]
MIRROR MIRROR
Mirror Mirror on the Wall… The vanity of our society is probably at a all time high, but I am sure it will get much worse before it gets any better. While I deny casting any stones, I surely acknowledge that I do not live in any type of glass house. My vanity is […]
THE NEWS
With all this talk about “fake news”, let me just say that the regular, “real” news is not much better. The news is depressing. Whether its your local station, the 24 hour cable networks or the International variety like BBC or Al Jazeera, the news is labyrinth of disseminated information in which goodness and positivity […]
MY BODY: THE TEMPLE
“If my body is supposed to to be a Temple, I have been on some real disrespectful, atheist tip.” RR The devil is not a lie, at least not when it comes to the truth behind our bodies and our diets. I have been lying to myself far too long and it is […]
SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE
Political correctness is a pain in the butt. I often write about empathy, compassion and social injustice, but even the strong belief in those areas does not stop me from saying that I cannot keep up with the sensitivity that exists across the board disguised under the banner of political correctness. It is important to […]
