I hit a significant three-month plateau in my exercise regimen. A couple of months back, I started taking protein shakes to get past the bad situation I was in, muscles getting weaker and constantly getting sick. The protein shakes worked well. I was restored to my healthy self, but I had no progress. Lately, within…
Read moreMontreal, Friendship, and Realization
I went to Montreal this past weekend. Whenever I go there, I feel completely inspired. Not every situation or encounter is wonderful, but every time I’m there, it’s a vacation for me. To me, a vacation is time to heal, time to think, and just generally time to breathe. I have good friends in Montreal….
Read moreEat More
There was a candy bar that my Dad used to eat, when I was a kid, called “Eat More.” I gave it the less than fond alias of “Eat Less.” This candy bar is by far the worst tasting thing I’ve ever put in my mouth, even with how many times I’ve “been around the…
Read moreIs it too late to talk about New Year’s resolutions?
I see a resolution more like an epiphany, an awakening even. Telling myself that I’m going to give something up for 365 days is not a resolution. We’re not talking about lent here; we’re talking about a resolution. This is where we reevaluate our lives and decide on changing forever. I tend to think that…
Read moreYes! We have no love for racists who make fun of fruit vendors.
I got a song in my head today: “Yes! We have no bananas.” I love the tune, and I thought I loved the song, so I listened to it on YouTube. I quickly learned that this is a horribly racist song. People argue that it wasn’t racist in its time, or that you just have…
Read more@SHO_Dexter, I’m quitting #TV, but not until your season is over
I’m usually watching TV at this time, but instead I decided to write an entry, and I’ll probably go to bed early – well, early for me, anyway. I’m quitting TV. Yes, it really is like quitting smoking or maybe even heroin. OK, I went too far there; it’s nothing like quitting heroin, but I’m…
Read moreDoes @DCComics know that real #life is better than fiction?
It feels official now. I met with a key member of a local charity yesterday, and I’m now writing for that charity. I’m offering my services mostly to help with their newsletter, but I’ll also help out with the website and probably some communications. I couldn’t ask for anything more ideal than this. To me,…
Read more#Tomorrow makes me more happy to be alive than @PrincesComedian
This might be a crazy notion, but I feel that any day I’m alive is a good day. I’ve had many bad days in my life, but they’re still good; I’m still alive. Today was an average day overall, but it stands out as an exceptionally good day because of the promise of tomorrow. Staying…
Read moreHome security like @ADTstaysafe might be awesome, but you need a security package for a bad #girlfriend who just won’t leave.
I turn the lights on. “Who’s down there?” I yell from the top floor of my house. I hear movement, but nobody says anything back, so I move quickly down the stairs to the middle floor. My heart is beating fast, at least twice its normal speed. I frantically start turning the lights on, one…
Read more@LeeHirsch and my 5-year-old know that #Bullying is bad
Seeing my 5-year-old on the playground has been an amazing experience for me. Usually, the popular girl is the worst bully in the school. That popular girl bully might not hit, but she will always choose who is good enough and who isn’t. She will make others crumble to her social pressure. My 5-year-old is…
