If I were to open the store, I’d be very akin, to the store that John Cusack owned in the movie High Fidelity. Which is consequently one of my favorite movies ever too by the way.

It would be a record store, and me and my friends would be there all day long being music snobs about all we know, and determining whether some of the customers are qualified to buy the music or not.

As always, thank you for reading…

Easily and by far my two iPhones are the most important thing I carry with me.

The larger iPhone serves as my iPod with all my music on it.

My smaller phone serves many functions:

I do my writing on it.

I do my blogging on it.

I use to communicate (calls,video chat,texts,social media).

I play games on it .

I look up information on it.

It serves as my GPS.

It’s my organizer and planner as well.

I get news, weather, earthquakes and other information on it as well.

As always thank you for reading…

I want my blog to do many positive things:

Provide hope for the hopeless.

Love (self) for the loveless.

A voice for the unspoken.

Helping many relate that felt they were alone.

Especially to provide advice and optimism to those that have survived horrendous relationships with narcissists or other abusive people.

The world‘s smaller place than it seems and we all need to remember all in the same town. We are all in this together. It’s called the human race.

As always, thank you for reading… 😊

In an alternate universe I get it right far earlier in my life. I sort of see this is what if I did everything the way I was supposed to in my life instead of so late.

I’d take the chances I didn’t take earlier and make things happen and be brave from day one rather than far beyond that.

I meet and fall for my soulmate at age 20 rather than after age 52+. We’d marry, have kids, nice house, the white picket fence, etc.

I’d’ve gotten my degree in English as a bachelor’s and start writing/ blogging in my 20s rather than my 50s.

I’d achieve financial stability in my 20s or 30s rather than living paycheck to paycheck into my 50s.

I’d value myself and know my worth far far earlier in life than past middle age.

As always, thank you for reading. 😊

This isn’t the easiest question to answer because it requires a long story which I’m not interested in writing just now.

I will go so far to say the most expensive meal I ever paid for, was my ex stepson’s wedding dinner in Las Vegas. My ex-wife had the brilliant idea that we would have it at Ruth’s Chris steakhouse at Harrah’s Las Vegas. Not the cheapest place to eat by far.

The wedding party was pretty small and not a lot of people attended so she figured it wouldn’t be too much money. However, everyone ordered pretty much everything they wanted, (appetizers, drinks, seafood, steaks, and dessert) except for me, my ex-wife, and my ex mother-in-law (we all shared dinner).

We had thought that people would be picking up their own meals aside from the bride and groom, but in the end, I got stuck with the entire bill. When the bill finally came to me, it was $2200 for the dinner. Truly, the most expensive meal I’ve ever paid for in my life.

Was it worth it? Well I know they (the bride and groom) are now divorced as am I. There’s a whole stressful story that goes along with this meal that I am again, am not gonna go into right now. So, I say no, it was definitely not worth it.

Having to ask the mother of the bride for a loan to cover this meal is and was the most embarrassed I have ever been, but that’s another story for another time.

As always thank you for reading…
