Don’t Write Them Down as Arrogant
An American president and a Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman converse.
Strong. Steady. The Admiral of a fleet of six hundred thousand sailors and Marines, this man did not have to lean on his color. Admiral Dodson Bickerman stood also as the Chief of Staff to United States President Haddish Cormac.
“What are we even doing here?” Cormac asked Dodson.
“I know it wasn’t the absolute decision. I had to work for mine. And I know you did, too.”
“Goddamn right.”
“Goddamn right.”
“We’re black men who happen to live in America and not be power hungry but confident in our roles of power.”
“These are the facts, friend,” Bickerman remarked.

Chanda sent home money every two weeks. In a small village in India, she deposited money into the bank account of her Aunt and Uncle who sent her to live in America. The place seemed so remote, almost cut off from the rest of the country. There, a festival took place where participants hurled cow eliminations at each other. The muddy, mucky sense of it had been known for centuries. Locals tied it to an ancient god who they believed restored people’s health with the cow plops. During the festival, thick patties hurled through the air and smushed into the bodies and faces of those rollicking around in the filth.

So You Decided To Become a Nurse Practitioner:
So you decided to become an "Advanced Practice" nurse. Congratulations!... is what I would say if this was a good idea. Grad school? In this economy? What were you thinking? Likely it was something along the lines of either 1) “I've seen these other chucklefucks do it— Why can't I?” or even 2) “I've got a nice career, I should shake it up. I miss feeling like I have no clue what I'm doing.”
