Well Happy Birthday to Me! At exactly 12:00 noon today I turned another year older. Or maybe I should say I survived another year, cause I kind of feel like I'm aging like boxed wine lol. 😆
43... Does it feel great? Not really at the moment. But this past year was definitely spent gaining more…

"It's My Party"
“Happy New Year, Unhappy Old Eyes”
So first and foremost, I would like to take a moment to wish you all a very belated Happy New Year and hope 2023 is at best healthy, happy and successful for you all and at it’s worst, nothing you cannot handle or overcome!
Time for of us to kick some ass and take some names in 2023, shall we?
…"Abbreviate This"
Can we talk about abbreviations for a second?
And not the kind that Merriam Webster would define as legitimate.
Why does everyone suddenly seem to feel the need to abbreviate everything under the sun?! Listen, in this day and age we can all acknowledge that certain things are being abbrevia…
"It's All In The Lyrics"
Believe it or not many of us tell on ourselves with just our words alone. Why do you think they say when someone's lying, you'll know cause their lips are moving, lol. Eventually just wait and see, everything comes out in the wash.
Never has this been truer when it comes to the songwriting proces…
"Plates for the Pompous"
I've seen three of the dumbest and funny license plates just the other day within a few short hours and I ask myself; why??
Now, I can see the appeal in a personalized plate, hell a close sociopathic relative even had one when I was growing up (no surprise there) and there's also a lot of psycholog…
“Yep, Me Too, How Bout You”
This is gonna be a long one.
I’ve been working on this on/off now for longer than I can remember and finally decided it was time to revisit it and finish it once and for all. Let me preface this by saying that it is my sincere hope that what I have written here comes across as it’s meant to a…
"A Tribute to Our Dearest Carol..."
I stopped everything I was doing yesterday when I learned of the passing of my friend Carol La Garde and felt it appropriate to write a tribute to her. I believe she would have loved this and found it quite fitting based on our history.
One reason why I truly hate social media is that it puts i…
“Small Talk with YOUR Man!”
Is it really 2022 or are we still living in another aged era?
I just absolutely love when you're trying to be cordial, making small talk with a man (or anyone for that matter) who automatically jumps to notify you of his relationship status and gives the unsolicited and obligatory, ‘My girlfriend…
“It's Alright 'Coz I'm Saved by the Bell”
I’m guilty as hell of watching old reruns of TV shows and movies that I have seen hundreds of times, which feels a little odd admitting to even as I am writing it here lol. I know for a fact though I am not the only one who does this, do you? Where are all my rerun rejects at, don’t leave me hangi…
"The Covid-19 Birthday Queen"
Well Happy Fucking Birthday to little ol’ me! Instead of just trying to float under the radar and age my 42nd year in peace and celebration on 8/13, once again life got the laugh last at my expense. Not the birthday gift I asked for, yet still got. What was that gift exactly? That’s right, yo…
"My Angel"
Today was your due date sweet angel. It's possible you would have arrived sooner, regardless, it breaks my heart to know that I'll never have the chance to hold you in my arms and fully be your mother. But to my son or daughter that would have been born today; I love you with all my heart and soul.
…"Grey Hair Everywhere"
Let us all laugh at Nee's expense today as I tell a tale of getting old...er. I thought it was horrifying when I found my first gray hair ever a number of years ago and was in deep denial thinking it was just one of Loyo's cat hairs that had somehow landed on the top of my head, but clearly that was…
“EMS- Emergency Medical Services; the proud, the forgotten”
When I thought about writing this article initially I had so much to say that I feared this would become a novel instead of a succinct blog piece; maybe it should be. Ultimately, as I work on finishing my writings, looking at the clock sneak past 7am, I realized I just didn’t have the energy or des…
"Show Your Hand"
Late last night while listening to some tunes I decided to head over to my now higher priced Sirius XM subscription also known as the highway robbery package and check out a different channel for my listening pleasure. The channel I landed on briefly was playing a varying blend of pop-ish hits, mos…
“Covid Sense, Not So Common”
The term ignorance is bliss is a very true statement; it's a lot easier to be ignorant than to face the truth. Denial is not a river in Egypt and being fucking educated apparently is now a thing of the past. Sadly, I've never seen the world more stupid than it is now!
When I speak of educatio…
"Happy New Year 2022!"
Well as much as this statement is lovely, for me I will be skidding into this new year facing some heavy adversity still, but equally doing my best to remain steadfast in my resolve to press on. I sincerely hope everyone out there will be able to challenge this new year head on and f…
"Losing My Lil Booger..."
I was waiting to post about this but with everything going on and now this abnormal breast screen, there's just no point in trying to hold off any longer. To say the past few months of my life have been tumultuous is an understatement, especially right now and I'd be lying if I said …
"ジャイブターキー"
I will never stop caring; I can’t.
I will never stop fighting; I won’t.
I will never stop believing in you even when you can’t believe in me.
I will never stop having your back even when you can’t see.
I will always love you, it’s just how much you mean to me.
Every part ins…
"I Know YOU!"
I know exactly who YOU are, for we are on in a kind, just kindred spirits along a rocky path. I was once a young child; abused, bullied, ridiculed and constantly felt ugly, overlooked, worthless and undeserving of love, attention and respect. Those shadows still hide underneath, subconsciously b…
"Remember Me?"
I'm BACK! Although I am not sure I will resume this column yet as a weekly editorial spot, I will start to again transfer some of my latest writings here that I haven't done in what seems like forever. Until 'The Rant' is revived, welcome back to parts of my world... \m/
