People think analysis paralysis is the inability to make a decision. Too many options in front of you and you freeze up like a girl on a date when she hears your job title is “disruptor”. But that’s not how your brain works. Your brain is constantly making decisions, mostly without you knowing. Millions of…

I read an article today saying that the phrase “the middle class” was only mentioned 3 times in the last Republican debate that inexplicably took place in front of Air Force One, which would be like the Pope giving his address in Washington this week in front of a decommissioned former Popemobile. “can I catch…

You sit there and swipe on your phone when you’re waiting for someone. It’s a public place. You don’t want to look like someone just standing there. You look like a predator for chrissakes, just standing there, leering at fellow human beings. This is why I’m never early anywhere. There’s nothing worse than watching the…

On my previous WordPress, I wrote a small 9/11 tribute message that I’d refresh and repost every year: “Seven Years Later” Seven years later, and it still feels like yesterday. The images of that morning will be forever seared into our memories. Never has this generation seen such fear, such horror, such bravery, and such…

It’s time for a presidential debate! *sigh* Why is 2015 here already? Wasn’t it just 2012? Why do we have to do this crap all over again? I used to like debates.  I used to like the fact that we could watch people actually go in-depth with issues and maybe, MAYBE…learn something. But that doesn’t…

It’s one of those things you don’t really think will ever happen. You don’t expect to see a crazy person with a gun. You hear about it on the news or read about it on Buzzfeed (“12 Ways Your Monday Could Be Worse!”) but it’s never one of those things you think “oh, ya, today’s…

Let’s face it – we’re moving towards a society that seems to be forgoing manners. Before I go full church lady on you, here’s an example: dogs at Starbucks. It used to be on the odd occasion you’d see a clearly blind gentleman with a German Shepherd in a highlighter-bright vest that said “SERVICE ANIMAL”…

Armenians gather around the world to recognize the Armenian Genocide today, April 24th. Today, on April 24 1915, Armenian intellectuals were banished from the city of Constantinople, which is modern-day Istanbul, Turkey. Approximately 1.5 million Armenians were brutally and systematically slaughtered by the Sultan and Young Turks of the Ottoman Empire, in what is considered…
