I’m going to have to do something extremely difficult in the next few days. I need to think long-term, and that means taking action now so that I can be in a better place a year from now. Friends, Family, guy in Singapore, you heard it here first: I’m getting rid of Netflix. Here’s why….

A Christmas Wish For You
Would you still like Santa if he got drunk every now and then and pushed Mrs. Claus around? What if he had a gambling problem and there were bookies dressed as elves waiting to shake him down? Or how about if he was a compulsive liar and a chain smoker? You probably wouldn’t wait in…
Top Ten Tips For A Rockin’ Marriage
Some of you may be thinking to yourselves, “Wait a minute. She’s single! Is she qualified to give marriage advice?”. The answer is obviously yes. Due to my keen sense of observation and my thirty five years of..well..life..I know a thing or two about a thing or two. I have TWO sets of married parents,…
In The Mood
You know that warm, tingly feeling? That glow that seems to settle over the room and make everything magical and lovely? You know what I’m talking about. The Christmas Spirit. Sometimes you got it, sometime you don’t. I’m not there yet. I think once you become an “adult” you lose some of the magic. There’s…
Christmas Jones
I shared a joke with a homeless man yesterday. My window was open (can you believe this weather?) as I pulled up next to the bus stop by the sketchy McDonald’s. There are always homeless people at this intersection, so it’s easy to just pass them by because if I gave them money every day…
Five Things that are Pretty Okay
1. Pizza pants- flannel loungewear covered in slices of pepperoni pizza. Winning. 2. Solomon Burke’s -“Cry to Me”. Look it up and do a little dance in your kitchen. 3. This clip of John Travolta acting like an alien robot. 4. Yucca fries from Chicken Fiesta. Richmonders. Get in on this action. The honey mustardy…

Stalin’s tight grip on East Berlin during World War II left its citizens starving and poor and the young pilot was part…
Falwell, You’ve Got Some ‘Splainin To Do
I cried after watching this video. Can you imagine being one of the fifteen to twenty Muslim students that attend Liberty University after that speech was given? What if you were in the auditorium when he said it and you felt the eyes of the people close by glance over at you, either with hatred…
For the Love of Christmas
This holiday season I find myself looking back over 2015. I had so many great plans to get in shape, get out of debt, and get working on my book. Sometimes progress is so slow it seems like you’re moving backwards. I did lose ten pounds but then someone decided to take me on vacation…
Jack-Hole, Party of One
A handsome man gave me his phone number last night. Actually, he wrote it on my arm and added a smiley face underneath. I feel sorry for his wife. Seriously. I find myself losing hope in ever finding a good, honest, faithful man because of people like this. I tried not to make a big…
