Tarot Anyone?
As long as I could remember, I’ve always felt different. I always wondered about the unknown, and often could sense how other people felt...even if they weren’t around me. From the young age of 8, I have always wondered about things that no one else cared to think about. Of course, back in the 90’s, this kind of behavior was just seen as a “wild imagination” or just plain crazy.

Getting Drunk In Front Of My Crush
For about a year, my son’s barber and I have been having mild flirtations at his shop or through text. I didn’t take it seriously because well...he’s a BARBER. I don’t know how it is with other races, but in the African American community, barbers =THOT. Anywho, I remember taking my son to his usual Sunday morning haircut, and his barber asked me if I had plans for Cinco de Mayo. Like a big nerd, I said, “well, it’s a workday...” he laughed and said, “no, afterwards.” I laughed as well, though I was slightly embarrassed and told him no. “Good,” he said. “I want to take you out.” I still thought he was bullshitting, until he texted me the day before Cinco de Mayo and asked were we still on. I accepted his invitation, and he told me he would be at my place around 7 the next day.

The Unforgettable Vacation
All day long, my eyes kept looking at my “Homer Simpson” interactive digital clock. On Fridays, it would yell “woo hoo” when the workday was over. “Ten more minutes,” I said to myself while trying to think of ways to kill time. “I’ll just go to the restroom,” I thought to myself. On my way there, I ran into Lolita. Lolita used to be on our billing team, but transitioned into a higher paying position a couple of months ago. “Are you excited about your weekend getaway B?” she asked as a huge smile wiped across her face. “Very excited,” I replied half lying. This was the first time I would be going to another state alone. It’s true I was thrilled to be traveling to New Orleans, but I usually always traveled with my brother everywhere. Ever since he met his new boyfriend, Nico, he didn’t have time for his little sister anymore.
