  • Hygiene & Taxes: Shit We Can't Figure Out!
    Apr 15 2025

    Yep, It's April 15th! I just sent Uncle Sam my left nut and routing information. Where does it go? Our tax money seemingly disappears as easily as our human waste from the magic ceramic bowl in our bathrooms! Maybe someday, someone will have the balls to clean up the decades long mess. Maybe it's DOGE, maybe not!

    On the topic of cleaning up messes, are we failing at personal hygiene? C'mon, you know what I'm talking about. Folks just don't seem to get it, or care. Improper toilet technique and using the same loofah for a month... WTF is wrong with us?

  • Attack On Tesla; A Little Girl Murdered
    Apr 1 2025

    Just as the title states. What is the point of attacking an automobile? Who's behind the narrative that Elon is a Nazi. Is it class warfare or targeted violence to distract us from the real issues?

    Kei'Mani Latigue, a 13 year old violently killed by her own father(allegedly). Too big of a story locally here in Toledo to not mention. We must stop the senseless violence!

    Horrible tragedy just as we returned from sunny SW Florida. It's like a cloud just hangs over NW Ohio.

    We've been desensitized and our souls crushed. We need to rewire society. Lets figure out how to unite and love each other before tragedy strikes, instead of coming together only in times of despair.

  • It's Not Easy Being Green: Never Too Late to Stop Trying to Fit In!
    Mar 18 2025

    St. Patricks Day really got me thinking of the years passed. You see, at the ripe old age of 45, this GenX-er finally understands that getting hammered on drinking holidays just isn't cool! I spent a decade in a St. Paddys loop. Every day was the same, like groundhogs day, if you can imagine being blackout drunk every single night.

    In this episode I explore how and why I got stuck in the alcoholic loop. I'm sure many of you can relate, as it was tough to fit in growing up. Many of us turned to drugs and alcohol to lower our inhibitions and become the life of the party. Had we only listened to Kermit when he sang!

    Some of us might still be stuck. I hope I can encourage you to break out of the substance abuse loop, as it's never too late!

    ----Here's my story----
