Have Fun With Phone Scammers
Quite often when your phone rings, it’s not someone you know. It’s an automated “robo” call telling you it’s time to renew your car warranty, or an offer to lower your student loan rate. Most people are annoyed by these calls, but they can be quite fun if you’re bored. Every day, millions of these…

Lazy People Are Hindering Me
People not wanting to work is interfering with my pizza eating… One of my co-workers ordered pizza for a lunch meeting. After waiting over an hour for the delivery, I called the store to see where our food was. The manager apologized for the delay, saying they did not have any delivery drivers. Ummm… Maybe…

September 10th, 2001 was the last “normal” day for America.
Those who experienced the tragic events of September 11th, 2001 will always remember exactly what they were doing when they heard the news of the attacks on America. The feelings we experienced will be forever ingrained in our minds as if they happened yesterday… Like the attack on Pearl Harbor and the assassination on John…

Why I Talk About Pizza All The Time
I’m like Indiana Jones, but instead of looking for crystal skulls, I search the world for the perfect pizza. Indy shared his stories of his travels, as do I. My stories just happen to involve pizza. Is that really such a bad thing? Some people drink alcohol, others do drugs. I eat pizza. Why? Because…

How Do People Live Without Pizza?
There are many places in the world where pizza is not a meal choice. People in a civilized world shouldn’t have to live like this. I get frustrated because there are no good pizza places in the area around my house, but can you believe there are places in the world where they’ve never seen…

I’m Worried About Santa
I was picking up a pizza when a jolly old man with a fluffy white beard walked in wearing a familiar red and white suit. No, it wasn’t a random homeless person (at least I don’t think so)…It was Santa Claus! As fun as that is, that’s not the story. The story is what he…

Mail Order Ice Cream: It’s a Real Thing
The internet is great for finding amazing shopping deals, but who knew you could buy ice cream online. Yes, ice cream. I’m not talking about Grubhub or an Uber Eats type online business. Nor am I referring to home grocery delivery delivery from your local store. I’m talking about real, cold, icey, creamy delicious, yummy…

I’ve Never Watched Stranger Things…
Call me a social outcast, but I’ve never watched even one episode of “Stranger Things”, and I’m okay with that. While we’re discussing my obvious poor life choices, I’ve never seen an episode of Game of Thrones either. I’m okay with that too. Whenever I mention these amazing facts, people look at me like “whaaaaaaaaaaat?”…

Finding the Lost Faith in Humanity
Despite the fact that I’ve lost my faith in humanity, I’m actually trying to find it again. If there is any left still… Has humanity truly lost it’s way, or have I just lost my sense of positivity and hope? I can’t watch the news anymore. Partly because I can’t believe half of what they’re…

Why Are Homeless People Scary?
Human fears are sometimes driven by first impressions based solely on appearance. The homeless are often unfortunate victims of these invalidated perceptions. The motivation for me to write this article came after a woman recently called the police because she was afraid for the safety of children near a school when a homeless man was…

Is Mental Illness Getting Worse?
While it may be just perception, it seems mental illness is getting worse in our society. It’s also possible mental illness is more identifiable now. Mental illness has been around forever, but I don’t remember it growing up. As a young child, I remember hearing a story once in a while about someone who took…

Parents Are Failing Our Schools
Public schools are plagued with problems, but many of the issues start at home. I may not have been in honors classes and advanced math courses when I graduated high school, but there were some things I was able to do. I knew how to read and count. I knew how to write my name…
