I deleted my Facebook because I had too much to say.

I deleted my Facebook because I had too much to say.

A few weeks ago, in a moment of intense emotional pain, I deleted my Facebook. I didn’t want to vent in a status message. I was afraid of the things I would say. About my marriage. About my daughter’s health. About myself. I was afraid of people knowing. Afraid of judgement. Afraid of the allure of manic shit-posting. I was distraught after a particularly nasty exchange between myself and Bob…

Before I begin this piece, I want to note that there are many assholes out there judging Tiffany Bassett. If you’re one of those assholes, I hope you read this and stop harassing her. I hope this article inspires you to do the right thing, which is demand that MTV kick Matt Baier off the air. Okay, here goes… It’s been a whirlwind week.

WTF Why Isn’t MTV And The Media Acknowledging That Teen Mom Star Matt Baier Is A Sexual Predator? (VIDEO Evidence in Post)

Bear with me friends, this is a long one! I feel that MTV is ignoring that Matt Baier is an alleged sexual predator. A quick run-down of the topics I’m going to cover: Matt Baier from MTV’s Teen Mom OG series allegedly date raped Tiffany Basset. Matt Baier has a history of sexual assault. Matt Baier and Amber Portwood defrauded Tiffany Basset out of $15,000. A verbal contract was recorded and…

American Gods Analysis: Exploring What It Means To Be American

American Gods Analysis: Exploring What It Means To Be American

“If you are to survive, you must believe…Everything.” Faith is certainly an integral theme in Neil Gaiman’s Hugo Award-winning fantasy novel, American Gods. The earliest immigrants arrived with little more than faith, and it was their belief in the new world that has made this country what it is. In what can only be described as postmodern urban fantasy, Gaiman has expertly invented a world where…

15 Of The Worst Coachella Fashion Trends

15 Of The Worst Coachella Fashion Trends

Coachella just happened, and that meant lots and lots of ugly random fashions. Festival fashion is rarely stylish; usually, it’s vapid and stupid. It also promotes rampant cultural appropriation, which sucks. Listen, if your headdress upsets indigenous people, don’t wear it. Because native Americans have been through enough, and they don’t need eager concert goers adding insult to their misery.…

Musing On Metamodernism

My latest obsession is metamodernism, which is basically the artistic, aesthetic, and philosophical culture emerging from (and reacting to) postmodernism. It’s a way to describe how we feel. And, it’s post postmodernism, which was a time when we felt antagonized, ironic, and insincere. Metamodernism is like postmodernism, but there is a waning sense of irony emerging in our connected digital 21st…

Universal Studios Florida In A Weekend

Universal Studios Florida In A Weekend

My BFF Tracy and I were desperate for a weekend getaway, but it’s cold here so we had to head south. My daughters gave us their blessing to head to Universal Studios Orlando as they’d already been, and are basically the kindest kids on the planet.  We were going to stay onsite, but opted to go the cheaper route and booked a room at the Floridian instead. The flights were cheap. We flew Spirit and…

All The Crazy Dirt On That Woman Who Freaked Out On The Kissing Couple, Anna Storelli

Like everyone else, I sometimes become obsessed with memes. Case in point is the viral video “Restaurant freakout in Santa Monica.” I watched the video like two hours after it was posted on Reddit, and am not surprised it’s gone viral. What does surprise me is the lasting impression the video has left on me… I’ve done some hardcore Googling, and this is what I’ve found out about her, Anna…

Poetry Analysis “I Saw in Louisiana A Live-Oak Growing” by: Walt Whitman

Poetry Analysis “I Saw in Louisiana A Live-Oak Growing” by: Walt Whitman

**I wrote this for a class, and thought I’d share it here.** “I Saw in Louisiana A Live-Oak Growing” is a short lyrical poem from Walt Whitman’s poetry collection “Leaves of Grass.” To understand its meaning, it’s important to read all the poems from the section “Calamus,” which are poems that exalt the “the manly love of comrades (Whitman 95).” It is widely believed that these poems are proof of…

Story Analysis of “Sonny’s Blues”

Story Analysis of “Sonny’s Blues”

**This is a piece I wrote for a “composition in the humanities” class. I figured why waste my papers when I can publish them here. Spoilers ahead.** At its core, James Baldwin’s short story, “Sonny’s Blues,” is about the suffering that is native to everyone, and how there’s healing in talking about it (Baldwin). The narrator finds himself in many moments of pontification where he narrow-mindedly…

Happy New Year 2017

Happy New Year 2017

In a lot of ways, 2016 is not a year I’m sad to close the door on (there was an attempt to defund Planned Parenthood, all the great celebrities died, and Trump got elected); however, I learned more than I have in years passed and that makes me hopeful for 2017. It’s the five year anniversary of blogging about my New Year’s resolutions. This year, I’m making a change. I’m not going to resolve…

Get A Job Writing For A Popular Website

Get A Job Writing For A Popular Website

Small websites aren’t where it’s at. They can’t afford you, so make them do their own blogging. The time you spend writing should be comparable to an hourly job, and you set your per hour rate. I like to work part time for a minimum of $16 an hour. I don’t put a cap on my earnings, and at times have earned ridiculously more per hour, but sixteen is my minimum wage. Only Apply To The Big Websites…
