Hosting a Dance Party After September 11th, 2001
My experience of September 11th, 2001, was bizarre. My girlfriend at the time was in the middle of nowhere, on a ship and completely cut off from the world. I was working a morning shift at a video store doing inventory when we heard the news and everyone dropped what they were doing to watch a terrible looking feed of the local NBC affiliate. When the second plane hit and it became apparent that this was not an accident, the boss sent us home for the day to be with our families.

The great divide
it’s been very frustrating in the last several years watching the world who wanted nothing but to be connected with each other now seek to divide. We talk about culture appropriation, racism, and privilege. A lot of people are making this white thing as if the color of your skin makes any difference in any of this. And I know some of you just read that and felt offended and thought to yourself oh this is someone speaking who is privileged. And that there is a problem you speak it not realizing you yourself are it as well. Most people don’t realize that they’re living in the same boat as those they’re pointing the finger at. Every single culture every single color of skin has been at the downside of others at one point or another. You are all victim blaming and you cannot seem to move past and create a better future with this connection we all have now that we never had before.

A Call For Justice
Let's Reduce Full Time Working Hours from 42 to 32 Hours Per Week Over the 100 year period from 1870 to 1970 the number of hours a person worked declined from 61 hours per week to 42. Why haven’t working hours continued to decline? It has been 50 years since the last reduction and the time has now come to reduce the working week by at least another 10 hours by the year 2022.

The Pandemic
This story took a turn for the best starting off, because before we get into what happened during my time in the pandemic my life was hectic and a mess going into it. I had so much to write about and it was going to come off as vengeful and full of hatred. I was that upset how I was when I kept running the scenario back in my head of my life starting to fall apart. As an over thinker I tend to process situations that don't seem to add up very slowly. The thing is I am a different over thinker, I will fix the problem in the long run and go back and fix what happened in time. Someone today taught me that it isn't worth it and I truly appreciate that woman. I appreciate the man upstairs for giving me a woman who is beyond beautiful, creative, and knows how to care for me emotionally.

Nathalie Clair... Tell Me About Yourself
I've always hated when guys who were trying to get to know me would say, "Tell me about yourself." What does that even mean? What exactly do you want to know? I don't know what information about myself would be the most meaningful to you.

77% of the UK Experience This Work-Related Syndrome
You may read the phrase “imposter syndrome” and be surprised that there’s a term for something you feel without realising it’s a common thing. Have you ever felt like you’re not good enough for the career you have? Do you doubt yourself and feel like an imposter in the workplace? Do you have a nagging feeling that you’re winging it? You’re not alone.

A Shift in Perspective Does the Mind Good
Have you ever just been sucked into something you wouldn’t normally give the time of day to? You know the moment, you just happen to find your way to something and somehow it weasels its way into your brain. It could be a person, a TV show, a story or book, or in my case a drama-filled story about some YouTubers.
