10 Things to Stop Doing on Dating Apps
2020 was a year filled with many challenges. The year presented an especially unique challenge for a particular community: single people. As an active member of that community, the pandemic drove us out of parties and bars; two places that once served as a hub for people who preferred a more natural approach to finding love. We had a lot of free time and nowhere to go. We even made some questionable decisions like dating people we had absolutely nothing in common with (& their names often began with the letter J).

7 Cooking Hacks for the Busy Millennial
We Millennials are a varied lot. Some of us are somewhat young; others are nearing that age where we will need to take them out behind the barn and put them down. But young or euthanasia-adjacent, we all have one thing in common: we are busy.

Having a topsy-turvy Day? Well, it is normal (for some anyway!)
telling each other to stop complaininEveryone complains. I mean hell, some of us (including me and my husband can't get out of this one!) can spend an entire day doing just that. The funny thing is when we are complaining ourselves we barely notice. We are ignorant to our own voice, and we go on about our day oblivious to how our complaint affects others, who, if I may say, also have this uncanny way of noticing us complain about the most minor of events. There is one problem with this though, people will complain you're complaining, but will deny it when you tell them you heard them complaining!

It’s What Killed Michael Jackson
As I lay on the hospital operating table I was trying not to think too much about what was about to be done to me. I tried to occupy my mind with thoughts of how times have changed, especially in the world of medicine. How little did I know, that at some point in the following hour I would die.

Passion
My life’s passion, people. No matter how much I try to ignore it, or move on from it. People, keep coming back to me. No matter how successful I am, or how far I chose to wonder from them. People always put food on my plate, in some way shape or form. Ever since I can remember, had the gift of communication. I can communicate with people who, when all else has failed, chose me. The tough ones, the ones who are “extra” and the ones everyone has given up on. Those are my people. The ones who are drawn to me, and I to them. I’m am an introvert by nature. I prefer the company of anything but another human being, most of the time. On the rare occasion that I chose to come out if my house, it’s to care for those who can’t care for themselves. It’s what I do. It puts food in my belly, and warmth in my soul. It’s not always easy to love the discarded, misunderstood, and the so called broken. It’s actually very taxing, not just physically, or emotionally. It’s life changing. It’s a self-sacrifice like no other. It’s also liberating to be able to give so much, when so very little is being given. I don’t do it for the love I receive, the money I’m paid or the benefits. I do it because I love seeing people happy, smiling, and excited about life. I do it because I KNOW I make a difference. I do it so people can feel loved, wanted, cared for, and needed. Everyone needs to feel love, happiness, and acceptance. Especially the ones who are hard to love. They need it the most. I never wanted an award or recognized. The introvert in me shuns that kind of attention. She prefers to do what she loves when no one is looking. Tucking someone into bed, after getting them into their pajamas. Some say if you do what you love, you’ll never work a day in your life. I’m living proof that this is the truth. I love the fact that I can make a living doing something I am literally passionate about. This is who I am, I couldn’t stop helping people if I wanted to. I’ve tried. I’m only human. I get tired. I get attached. I have real feelings, the good, the bad, and the ugly. I’m not going to sugar coat it. After the deep emotions have settled, I realize, you can run but you can’t hide from your calling. I feel like the luckiest person on earth. Some people never get to live out their passion. I do. Every day of my life. Some days, when I’m holding someone’s hand as they take their last breath, the money is not enough. The money will never be enough on those days. Most days I can’t believe they pay me to brush someone’s hair, paint their nails or taking them to church on Sunday. I’m literally living the dream. I am so thankful for the opportunities I have been given in my life. I don’t know how I got so lucky . I’ll never take my heart and soul for granted. I am truly blessed. I honestly couldn’t ask for anything more in my life. People are social creatures by nature. We need human interaction, and contact to life a healthy and full filling life. It’s a proven fact. Let’s not forget this as we live our lives. Volunteer at the nursing home, visit the elderly who may not have any one to visit them. Volunteer at the hospital to hold the drug addicted babies. They need your loving arms to grow and strive to live their little lives. Your love will help them to develop into healthy thriving individual. Science doesn’t lie. Foster a child. There are so many children who need a warm safe place to lay their heads, and kind words. This may not seem like much, but it makes a world of difference to a human being. Make a difference, support the human race. We all need it.

The Worst Christmas Story volume 1
(Warning, Its kind of offensive) In the 90s , office Christmas parties were tamer than previous decades. Demographics kicked in and boomers had to go home early to pay babysitters and retain marriages. Add to that, all the previously employee shitshows that ended up embarrassing major companies and their law firms, the bacchanalian corporate soirees were now a relic. A taxi drivers loss. Oh, and a recession was in full swing. Those that wanted the older version took their nostalgia to "VIP" rooms.

Dating Woes
Blind dating can be a perilous adventure. In the words of Forest Gump, which I've changed a little, "It can be like a box of chocolates; you never know what you're going to get."

They Come to Snuff the Rooster Santana
This is the story of Santana the Rooster’s triumph. It is not the greatest story I could tell or the most dangerous. It is not the only time I have faced death in my life. Some of the old timers that I attended school with as a boy do not believe it ever took place. But my cousin Tito and I still remember it clearly. Maybe because it is an event that only our young minds could have conceived of, or maybe because it was our first time facing death together, whatever the reason this is how it happened.

Confidence is a Preference for the Habitual Voyeur
'You’re very opinionated.’ ‘You’re very cocky.’ ‘You’re not as clever as you think you are.’ ‘You’d be great if you used your brain and weren’t so lazy.’

Women Wanna Heist Too
Women want to commit crimes too, and no we don't need a man to convince us to do it. I was listening to Dane Cook the other day at work, and on one track his 'Heist/Monkey' bit came up. He talks about how one girl says that all men want is sex, and he says nay. Men also want to be art of a heist and have a pet monkey.
