Living the majority of my life in the DMV area you would think I have developed some love for the Washington Redskins, well I haven’t. I can’t stand the team and during the season I can’t stand the fans either. I feel like I have multiple reasons not to like the team and its fans.
How does the Skins keep getting great players but those players greatness never transfer over to the team? It’s like as soon as someone puts on a Redskins jersey they lose all their superpowers. Is the team cursed? Are the jersey’s made with kryptonite? What about those players that have better success as soon as they leave the team? What is it? How come I feel like no one else sees this but me? Every time the Skins get a new quarterback the whole city has to adopt the dude and hail him as the messiah. They got the guy on every cereal and pizza box, running to the store and buying every damn jersey! As soon as the season starts the guy has two great games and then it gets embarrassing.

In February of this year, my daughter’s father lost his life to depression. Having to come home and tell my 7 year old daughter, that her father died was the most difficult thing I’ve had to do in my life. It’s one of those moments that will stay with me forever. I can’t forget seeing the shock and grief on her face and feeling her little body shack with the force of her tears as I held her. I remember feeling so much sadness, anger and helplessness, just wishing I could bring him back for her.
My Ex and I had many disagreements and disappointments, but he was always a good person. When he passed people that knew our history asked me if I was sad?

Thirty six years ago this week, Frank Sinatra was a busy man; having arrived in New York City early in the month of September 1981, Sinatra had two obligations to fulfill in the Big Apple: final recording sessions for his forthcoming saloon album “She Shot Me Down”, as well as an elite concert date at Carnegie Hall.
Having recorded selections throughout April, July and August of that year, Sinatra returned to the old Columbia Recording Studios (where much of his early recording successes of the 1940s took place) on 30th Street, during which he laid down two final selections with arrangements by Gordon Jenkins, conducted by Vincent Falcone, “Hey Look, No Crying” and “Monday Morning Quarterback.”

One of the important hotels in American Mafia history could be shut down, at least temporarily.
Not the Riviera in Las Vegas, or any of the other notorious, mobbed-up hotels on the legendary Strip: the Stardust, the Sands, the Desert Inn, the Dunes.
Those classic Old Vegas joints are already gone forever.
This one is the Arlington Hotel and Spa in Hot Springs, Arkansas, which recently received an enforcement letter from the city, threatening to close the hotel after an engineering report asserted that the massive, 93-year-old structure is unsafe.

The Beauty of A (Lego) Brick
“The first rule of this exhibit…no video or photographs. Put your phones and cameras away please. Thank you and have a great visit!” As we heard this upon entering, there were frustrated moans and then silence as Ivan, the docent, quickly informed us he was just joking!
We stood in a long line that wrapped around the building and into the vacant space of a highway overpass for about 45 minutes to see this amazing spectacle called the “Art of the Brick” in beautiful downtown Tampa. My plan was to take as many damn pictures as possible to prove it was worth the wait! It is a huge collection of original and already famous paintings and sculptures, redone ENTIRELY in Lego Bricks! But wait there’s more…thanks to the Vinik Family Foundation, this event was FREE! The only rule is DO NOT TOUCH THE LEGOS. Sadly, Ivan was still getting paid for his horrible joke.

I don’t know who is worse; dog people, cat people or people with kids.
Actually animal people and kid people are probably both equally annoying, but we will discuss animal people today.
People that regularly dress their pets, please stop! Your dog is happy being himself. He doesn’t need to coordinate with you or dress like a French maid from a 1970’s porn. Some of the people dressing their pets can barely dress themselves, isn’t dressing one person enough stress? Why must you add an unwilling animal to the equation? Have you tried putting a dog in a onesie? It’s about 4 times worse than putting an angry baby in a onesie, 1 degree away from impossible.

Hip Hop Lives Differently…
Garbage…Garbage…HOT GARBAGE!! This is me, frustrated flipping through radio stations most days after 1pm. If it’s not mumble rap, it’s shocking lyrics, nonsense and/or encouraging some kind of self-destruction. Mornings are not too bad because there are decent shows with hilarious banter and news. Then midday is usually the “Old School Lunch Mix” when most adults put on their shades and relive great memories of life before kids.
Every generation the lyrics seem 50 times worse than the last. As we get more public with our different lifestyles, lyrics have become bold and sometimes hilarious. Now the norm is hearing how “sex with me is so amazing” and falling in love happens while holding a girls hair back to vomit after she drank too much. Or to the contrary, if you were wondering who’s going to wake up and drive you home when you’re drunk and all alone “it ain’t me!” I love a good beat but many times I have found myself wondering what the hell I just heard!? I also love a good R&B song but my concern is strongest with hip hop. That’s where most of the fraudulent, unbearable ear garbage is and at times it seems it’s only going to get worse.
