Maybe Next Year
I’ve always loved Father’s Day. I think it’s an excellent opportunity to highlight the work that many men are doing and don’t get thanked for regularly. It must not be an easy job, and while some work harder than others, maybe it’s just the right thing to do to thank them for being there. With…

Father’s Day
As Father’s Day approaches, I’ve been thinking non-stop on what I want to tell my father. Of course, I’ve also been thinking about what to get the man that loves only to wear one specific t-shirt and made me believe throughout my entire childhood that white shoes were always the way to go. I’ve also…

I Was Wrong
I was wrong. That’s probably the sentence that I have always had the most trouble saying. I find myself saying it more often now. I can assume it’s been my ego after all of this time. I trick myself into believing that everything that I do is the correct thing, and because my intentions are…

A Corner
“I ain’t a killer, but don’t push me.” That’s still one of my favorite Tupac lines of all time. In the movie, “Inside Man” with Denzel Washington he says something along the lines of, “half the people in Montego Bay weren’t murderers until they chose to kill someone.” I firmly believe nobody gets raised to…

Spider-Man
I’m not sure when this all started, but ever since I can remember, I thought it was my job to save everyone. I thought I was Spider-Man. Maybe I wasn’t going to be the person who was going to beat off all the bad guys that came from other planets, but it was my job…

The Untouchable
The Untouchable. I know that you’re always just going to be there, whether it’s in my thoughts or physically in front of me. But I can’t help but think that I can’t have you when you’re the only one that I see. What am I supposed to do if you’re always out of reach? I…

Maybe I’ve Learned Something From 2020
I’m not one to believe in horoscopes or things of that nature. I’ll listen because I like to think it’s fun, or I enjoy criticizing it. After all, all that horoscopes generally do is give some sort of general message to everyone. I don’t know what the planets aligning have to do with my own…

The Puzzle
I’m not sure I’m very well qualified to speak on life lessons, I only have about 28 years of experience. I think that one thing I’ve learned about life is that sometimes things work, and other times they do not. You can try your hardest to make something work, but that doesn’t do much to…

Just Another Immigrant Story
Let me explain to you what it was like being the oldest child of immigrant parents. I had to get a career that would make me a lot of money. That was always the goal. I thought that it was going to be me that rescued the family and put our family name on my…

It RAN in the Family
Too many times have I heard the excuse that a bad habit ran in the family. I’m retiring that statement with me. If my future kids will have something to look forward to, it’ll be that I’m looking forward to passing on only positive habits. I used to use the phrase, “well, it ran in…
