Optimism: That’s why I love dogs
I am going to just state it straight up. I am a dog person. I am a huge dog person. In general, I believe that there are no bad dogs, just bad owners. I see a dog walking down the street, my eyes light up. I see […]
Forget about once: Try everything at least twice
Ok. Let me get one point straight right off the bat. I am not the biggest risk-taker or daredevil there is out there. I don’t particularly care to jump out of a plane or to go zip lining. But I do try to engage in new experiences […]
I failed to get away…
I got to travel far and wide in 2016. Having explored South Africa and visited Chicago, DC, and San Francisco for the 100th time each (or don’t seemed). I moved to a new city as well in 2016. Yet, I somehow felt suffocated. Felt a lack of movement. […]
Los Angeles, unlike Barcelona, is no La La Land (yet)
Los Angeles is an interesting place to be and it is not necessarily because of the at-large images of glamour and wealth stereotypes that exist of Los Angeles. It is interesting in that it is actually quite unglamorous. You have the Hollywood Hills and the mansions in Brentwood. […]
How many times have you touched it today?
These days, our eyes hurt continously. Our arms ache and our fingers throb. Our minds race even as we desperately try to fall asleep. We fidget. We pace. We move. We are connected, never disconnected. Instead of leaving a tooth for the tooth fairy, we sleep with electronics […]
Pet peeve: I don’t want basic economy fares
Let’s get real. We have immense technological capabilities and advances that are meant to enhance our daily lives. We have Alexa, our our very own personal assistant. Who hasn’t dreamed of having a personal assistant? We can live like a celebrity in ouw own home by telling a […]
From bloody prom queen to Manolos to ugly crying…
And a big, big pop culture fan. I grew up on television. I grew up on radio. Although I wasn’t a big fan of MTV. Don’t get me wrong I watched it but I wasn’t as enthralled as everyone else was. I mean, there’s only so many times […]
Go ahead and wear no pants in the subway
Sometimes you just want to go ahead and do something daring. Sometimes you just want to stand out. Sometimes you just want to be part of the crowd. Sometimes both can come together. And why not? Can follow someone else’s drumbeat, I suppose. After all isn’t that what […]
The shrimp incident and how I ended up with an arm sling
A few years back comedian Lewis Black in a bit but still remains in my, almost everyday, consciousness. He noted in his skit “if it wasn’t for my horse I wouldn’t have spent that year in college.” Some things in life are so absurd but you just have […]
Am I an empath?
Since a very early age, I have been a story teller. I was entering storytelling contests and engaged in non-stop chattering as far as anyone can remember. I have always rooted for the underdog, unless it was either the New York Yankees or the Mets playing. And […]
