Starbucks Sugar Cookie Almondmilk Latte Review

Dear Starbucks, This ain’t it sis and it for sure wasn’t given what it was supposed to have gave…not one bit. Now, I’m not big on sweets, I never have been. I was the kid who didn’t eat the cake and ice cream at their own birthday party. Well, I’m sure that was just me.…

Haunted Columbus: The Arena District…ALL OF IT!

I previously did a story about how haunted The North Market is and why. You can check that story out here; Haunted History Columbus: The Old North Graveyard…Columbus, Ohio. The North Market is definitely The Arena District adjacent…I guess. Once upon a time…where the Arena District now stands…mainly where Nationwide Arena stands and going south…

Politricks: It’s time for Progressive’s to form their own party…

…and not political; just the Progressive Party; and for real this time. Enough playing nice and trying to team up with these weak “Moderate” Democrats. A Moderate Democrat is just another name for a conservative who calls themselves a Democrat. I’m not here for it. The party has always coward down to the GOP, but…

Old School Friday: 10 Nostalgic Columbus Commercials

Every day is a throwback around this piece. I love it! Back when we all pretty much watched the same TV shows on the same network, and the commercials were as entertaining and catchy as the actual show we were watching. Back when the commercial, like how music video used to actually makes sense to…

Haunted Columbus: “The Hallow” in the Scioto River

In the past I have discussed haunted lore stories from Columbus, Ohio’s past as well as well documented haunted locations throughout the Central Ohio area. Man…they were off the hook. They did some shit that makes today’s crimes look like they were done by amateurs; just sayin’! Regardless if you believe in hauntings, ghosts, spirits…whatever,…

Dave Chappelle: The Closer…When you “listen” with a closed mind

My black LGBTQIA+ community…please stop letting these white folks get you riled up. What Dave Chappelle said in his new Netflix stand-up comedy special, “The Closer,” was nothing but the truth and should not have been taken to heart the way that some took it. This is a huge problem that I have with these…

When being too woke becomes toxic

And for the record, I didn’t need any more toxicity in my life. But as with many things I have endured in my life, I had to learn the hard way. Going through something that was pretty much life or death made me re-evaluate where I was channeling all of my energy. I was angry…

Esophageal cancer scare…

So I went back under the knife a week ago for another major surgery. This surgery was not planned at all. I wasn’t going to say anything at all, but this is much bigger than me. I’ve discussed my issues before with severe acid reflux that I started suffering from after my Bariatric surgery almost…
