Helicopter parent or just a concerned one: where do we draw the line?
In recent weeks I’ve been hearing a lot about “Helicopter Parenting”. I’ve been accused by my family (girls and husband) of being one. I always argue, contending that I am only concerned about their welfare and happiness. Aren’t we as parents supposed to care about these things? There are many bloggers out there that have...

Fleetwood Mac at the United Center or I had my tickets until I was scammed
To the person that conned me into paying $440 for four Fleetwood Mac tickets: I really thought you were legit. I wanted to believe that since you were pretty “normal” when you responded to my Craigslist request to find tickets that I would actually get them.

Lance Armstrong Oprah interview: Before it airs, what do you think?

A few days ago I wrote a blog that was directed at Kim Kardashian and her complaining about her pregnancy.

Kim Kardashian's pregnancy: whining already?? An open letter to Kimmy
Dear Kimmy, or can I call you Kimye? I can’t seem to turn on my computer without seeing you plastered everywhere. It truly annoys me that I can’t seem to escape you. I’d love to as I think there are so many other people in the world so much more worthy of the media space.... Read more »

Gun control and the hypocrisy of celebrities: we should demand that ends now
Just a few days ago I had gone to see the new Quentin Tarantino movie “Django Unchained”. Following the Sandy Hook tragedy I have been very sensitive to anything shooting related. Going to see the movie was of course a huge mistake as it was filled with shooting death after shooting death, so much so... Read more »
New Year's Resolutions: Let's stop making them and just live better
The barrage of resolutions have been rushing through your minds. What am I going to change next year? What do I need to change to make next year better? Have you been thinking these things? Have you made your list; chosen your resolutions? Question is if you have, why haven’t you done these things before?... Read more »
