Is there only one who is The One?
Last year, during the height of the pandemic, everyone was talking about Tiger King. Well, not me. I didn’t care for it even though I didn’t even know the premise. Then one night late, late summer I caught a few episodes. I felt caught up in a surreal […]
Happy valentine’s day my dear son
It’s Valentines day. A day many go out to showcase some romance or a day many avoid due to not wanting to do a “hallmark” celebration. There’s a happy medium here somewhere, right? I myself don’t like cheesy gestures and goofy hallmark celebrations. However, showcasing love is never […]
