This is Serious

I know I usually keep this blog fun and light with the occasional self reflections but I wanna talk about something serious, an issue that isn’t given enough attention, why is so hard to find good fitting jeans right now?! I thought it was just me but then I noticed compliments I’d get when I’d wear my favorite jeans. The desperation from the person complimenting me, wanting to know where I got…

Flying Is The Worst

Flying Is The Worst

I think we can all agree that flying is the worst. I mean, I’m glad we have the ability to fly but the actual act of flying is trash. When you think about it, it’s one of the most uncomfortable things we can do as humans, squeeze ourselves into a box in the sky for hours. Sure, there are ways to make your flying experience more enjoyable; eating before you fly, paying for extra legroom, getting a…

"New" Obsession

“New” Obsession

I don’t know about you but when it comes to binge watching shows, I’m a pro. And since I’ve watched everything the streamers have to offer, I found myself wanting to go back and rewatch shows from my childhood and see if they hit different. So I’m currently binge watching Beverly Hills 90210. I’m not talking about the spin off from 2008 that no one watched, I’m talking about the OG 90s Beverly…

It's Over Now...Now What?

It’s Over Now…Now What?

We’ve all been there before, had our hearts broken by some stupid ass dummy. And if you haven’t been there before, you’re either too young to be reading this or you’ve been doing all the heartbreaking. Everyone has their own way of dealing with a break up – cry, dance, eat, drink, scream, run, sleep, or in my case, laugh. I have no patience for uncomfortable emotions so I need to laugh at my pain…

Almost A Bio

I’m finally free! I just finished working an extremely exhausting 3 month gig for an agency that’s basically the Death Star of the agency world. I know that doesn’t account for the other months of me being MIA on this blog but it’s a pandemic and I’m just proud of myself for taking a shower every day! Anyway, one of the benefits of being a freelancer means I get to pick and choose when I work so…

Threat Level Anxiety

*Deep Sigh* So I need to come out of the closet…I recently discovered that I’m a very anxious person. I mean given the state of the world everyone should have some level of anxiety right now. But mine started long before the fall of civilization (read: 2020). Quarantine has given me more time to think and realize that my anxiety shows up in the form of overthinking. Like I think about so many…

Quarantine Life

Vibe Check? I read a Vice News article that said “vibe check?” is the proper way to check on people in these days verses “how are you?“. They said “vibe check?” is a less stressful way to see how someone is doing. They also posted an article titled “What Happened to Tahj Mowry?” so maybe they aren’t the best source for social trends. But seriously, what is the vibe? If you’re in LA like I am…

How Do Girls Get Boyfriends?

How Do Girls Get Boyfriends?

I know we’re all indoors right now and there are more serious issues we’re trying to solve but, I really need to know, how do girls get boyfriends?

I mean, like how do you even meet someone in the first place? If I were in my 20s (circa 2009) I would say you meet him at the club, screaming your conversation over a Lil Jon track while trying not to spill your drink on every person that bumps…

That Time I Got Sick...

That Time I Got Sick…

So 2020 took a turn. I can’t wait to tell my grand kids what it was like to live during a pandemic; we survived on frozen food and Netflix!

Like most of the world right now I’ve been hunkered down in my apartment, eating every 3010 minutes, watching every streaming service I subscribe to, looking out my window at every noise I hear and watching Instagram stories of people I didn’t even know I…

Sober Party

So I’m doing dry January but not because I feel the pressure to participate in culture but because I legit need to ring out my liver and let all of the alcohol drip out. I’m exaggerating, I don’t drink a lot but I do drink frequently. Which means when I do go out I have the standard 2-3 drinks, but this past holiday season I went out about 2-3 times a week so when you do the math…

But I’m not…

Happy New Year, what day is it?

Happy New Year, what day is it?

Have you ever forgotten what day it was? How did it feel? Like you were in a time warp and magically transported to the future? Or the past if you’re really off. But usually that feeling doesn’t last long. Once your co worker reminds you that it’s Thursday you’re back to normal. But what if you don’t have a co worker to remind you of the day? And what if somehow you’ve neglected to pay attention…

Black Jesus

People who know me know that I’ve probably run out of gas like million times in my life. Why, you ask? Because I HATE stopping for gas. I mean, have you seen LA gas stations?! No matter what time you go it’s always packed like it’s the end of the world or something. Well I guess technically it is considering it’s 85 degrees in October. But I digress, no one has time for the those apocalyptic gas…

Freelance (Remote)

When you hear the word Freelancer, what do you think of?  I think of people who don’t have a real job. For example, Tommy (RIP) from Martin was probably a freelancer which is why Martin always clowned teased him about not having a job.

But now, I’m Tommy and I’ve stepped up my game from the temp life to the freelancing life. Freelancing is basically having a job without the commitment. You’re…

Love Advice?

While I was leaving the gym the other morning a mildly attractive man stopped me and asked, How do you tell a girl that she’s the one? At first I thought it was some kind of lame pick up line and was slightly flattered. But it turns out he was genuinely looking for advice about the a girl he dated a year ago, who got into a relationship that had since ended, and now they had reconnected. My…

So, What's Next?

So, What’s Next?

…That’s the question everyone keeps asking me now that I’ve made the big leap (again), quitting my job without another job lined up. It’s like being on the monkey bars with no next bar to swing to. But instead of being scared of not knowing how or when that next bar will appear, I’m just hanging on.

Maybe I should back up a bit. How did I go from working for the #1 streaming service provider, the…
