Way To Go Nike

Why are these damn fools so angry? They’re angry because Nike chose a winner, Colin Kaepernick, to be the face of their 30th Anniversary “Just Do It” ad campaign? 

They have a right to their opinions and their feelings…(no matter how stupid they may be). But Nike is about winning and Kaep is a winner. I mean boycotting is your right as an American but setting some “ish” on fire that you paid for… That’s a special kind of STUPID. But it really shouldn’t surprise anyone. Prejudice, bigotry and hatred  is bred by ignorance.

That Orange idiot, 45, has hijacked the entire conversation to spread racial bigotry, anger and division.  It’s NEVER BEEN ABOUT THE FLAG OR THE NATIONAL ANTHEM!!! It has always been about Black and Brown people being MURDERED in the streets and the folks that are supposed to be protecting us getting away with said MURDERS.

So you geniuses keep burning and cutting up your Nike stuff. As far as I’m concerned, Colin Kaepernick is an American hero. And Nike is to be commended. Way to go Nike! You will be on the right side of history years from now and the other burning and cutting fools with look like the idiots that they are.

Keeping Your Sanity in the Era of the Orange Orangutan

Let me begin with a disclaimer. I don’t hate anyone but I intensely dislike the Orange Orangutan With Tiny Baby Hands who is currently occupying the Oval Office. I will NEVER refer to that vile “human being” as President anything.  For all the noise, the monkey made about President Obama being illegitimate, Donald Trump is the most illegitimate, unqualified individual to ever hold that office. Okay, now that the formalities are out of the way, how DO you keep your sanity? First, sometimes you must take a break from social media, television, even print media. Those nubby little fingers are usually quite busy and the media eats it up. Thus, he’s everywhere. If you’re anything like me, the mere sight of him of or the sound of that voice is a trigger but for our sanity, we must let it go.   I was quite vocal on Facebook immediately following the election. My friends were certain that I was going to blow a gasket. I assured them that I was okay but I had to let it go. So, in terms of

Monogamy, Obamacare and Marissa Alexander

Does that seem like an odd title for a blog?  Perhaps but I am on serious information overload today!  You see, I was perusing Facebook as I often do to get material for my blog and I come across this post by Michael Baisden.  He posted a link for a video where there is a sociologist discussing the merits of sex outside of marriage.  Of course this piqued my interest but I couldn't get the damn thing to open....  Anyway, I began to ponder this concept and I touched on it briefly in my book (shameless plug you'll have to read the book).  Should we become more open-minded about the whole concept of monogamy?  How many marriages and families are destroyed by cheating, perhaps unnecessarily?  What if spicing things up meant having sex with someone who isn't your spouse or significant other?  Now this will not work for everyone but what if it works for some couples?  There needs to be open and honest dialogue between the parties involved.  The ground rules need to be established
