Men, both straight and gay, have been dictating to society what are the acceptable and standards of beauty for women for… forever is probably appropriate. Since the advent of print and televised media, Anglo Saxon/European looking women have been the prevailing standard of beauty. There have been some variations with slightly olive complexioned Italian, Spanish […]
Men and women tackle the thought of aging very differently. Most think that women are affected by aging more than men. That is actually false. We just come to the realization of our aging and mortality in very different ways. In general, men are able to ignore their mirror’s truths and warnings more than women. […]
You would think with a self proclaimed handle like “Diary Of A Mad Mind” April fools day would be my favorite manufactured holiday, but that has never really been the case. Call it the trauma from my youth, when my mother smacked me for a birthday card for a “play” cousin on April 1st. I […]
By Richard Ray: In the exhaustive research I conducted for the #Atlorgy piece, I found the woman behind the organized event to be an interesting dichotomy of honesty and contradictions.

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 […]
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 […]
“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.
