I got hit by a car!
My exclamation should be noted. I really got ht by a real car. I never thought I would utter those words. Since I ended up with a bruised foot and no broken bones I have decided it is more appropriate to say a car bounced off of me. I am some sort of super hero.... Read more »
Bullied as a child now I am an insecure adult
From the age of 9 and pretty much ending at the age of 17 I was a bullied kid. It was the loneliest I ever was. I do not really know how to tell the story. I was in public school as a kindergartner then at 3rd grade I had to transfer schools so I... Read more »

If You Are Calling Them Derogatory Names You Do Not Deserve a Woman
I’m tired of it when I hear it in music. I’m tired of it when I see it on social media. I’m tired of it when I hear it in conversations. I’m tired of hearing women referred to as bitches and hoes. If you do it stop it. Just stop it! It makes you sound... Read more »
The NFL should be ashamed of itself
Ray Rice, a nearly washed up running back for the Baltimore Ravens, beat his fiancé, whom his now wife, hard enough to knock her out. So the NFL grew a back bone and suspended him forever, right? Nope, Roger Goodell who set himself up to be McGruff the Crime Dog when he fell into the... Read more »
Remembering Kurt Cobain 20 Years Later
Twenty years ago I was 15 years old and my love of music was at its beginning. All I really knew about music was my dad’s LPs and the pop music on the radio. Pop music was not my bag, so besides classic rock I didn’t really have a favorite genre. Then the light’s were... Read more »
