Sunday, June 8, 2008 If The Shoe Fits... When someone who shall remain nameless (for now) accused me of having too many pairs of shoes, I found myself justifying the various functions for all of my shoes...or most of my shoes anyway. I was so proud to have many different rationalizations, I mean, reasons for so many shoes:House slippers - I have open-toed slippers for summer,...

Tell me you don't care about Health Care reform after reading this woman's story. This should not...

I try to ignore most reality shows. Let's face it, what's real about any of them? I really don't need to see people degrading themselves, risking their lives and eating vile things just to be on TV. The money can't be the only motive for most of these people, it has to be the celebutard factor...where anyone who gets on tv for doing something outrageous remains something of a mini-celebrity and...

Confidentially, this situation with my hair is not good. My hair constantly tries to defy and spite me. It’s lazy, uncooperative and has what is commonly referred to as ‘an attitude.’ Lately its been impossible…lies down and rests when it should be doing something else.

I now sit barefooted on the back step and drink cheap beer all day while I wave at the homeless men who slouch around in the area. I even laughed and clapped when one of them threw a beer...

I am really appalled at some things I have witnessed on social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, and You Tube (just to mention a few). I have seen vulgarity at its worse and threats of bodily harm. This is predominantly done by teenagers and is becoming epidemic. What has our society and the internet come to? When I opened my You Tube account 4 years ago, there were moderators...

On my blog, I have been writing columns about the Casey/Caylee Anthony story for a little over a year now. Over time, the natives have gotten restless all around the Internet. Explosive arguments and insulting comments are running wild on blogs and forums. I decided to write this with one goal in mind: shake the anger out of people. The wheels of justice turn slowly and impatience and frazzled...

It Will Never Happen Again- If international pop star, Rihanna, can forgive her pop star boyfriend, Chris Brown, why shouldn't I? A few weeks ago Chris was charged with severely beating Rihanna and pictures were released to prove it. This happened on the eve of the Grammy's, an event that is probably the most important night in the music industry. Allegedly, the incident began over a text...
