I spent this past weekend being a tour guide of sorts to an out of town guest. He’s only been to Chicago once before, on business, so I tried to make sure he got to enjoy the city like a local this time around. It’s sometimes easy to forget what a great city Chicago really is. When you’re caught up in the hustle and bustle of day-to-day life, you often overlook the history and sheer beauty of this town. It’s not until you find yourself pointing out landmarks and answering questions that you remember “My city ROCKS!!!” Continue reading

Fandom on the Go: GO BLUE & ONE PRIDE
There are a few things I thought I might miss while traveling. Amongst them are Michigan Football and NFL games. But thanks to a little research, I’ve found the best places in London, Paris and beyond to watch NFL action! Continue reading
Why I Decided to Quit My Job to Move to Europe (La Première Partie)
Let me just start out with a couple of housekeeping items. Firstly, I’m using the word “move” pretty loosely. I’ll explain that more later. Secondly, this blog entry likely won’t give you all the details you think it might. Perhaps I’ll write the entire story at some point during or after this journey. Now that that’s taken care of, let’s get started.
Breaking Stupid in the City
Once again, I’m late to the TV party. I’m currently engaged in marathon of the now cancelled AMC show “Breaking Bad.” I’m enjoying the show, however, I don’t know how people watched it week-to-week for 5 whole seasons. Continue reading
Who Really Breaks Up In a Breakup?
The answer: Everybody!
I just finished watching a recording of ‘The Wendy Williams Show.’ During the “Hot Topics” segment, she talked about Ryan Secrest hanging out with the brother of his now EX-girlfriend, Julianne Hough. (Let’s just agree to ignore the obvious, ok?). Wendy posed the question to her audience: Is it ok to continue to hang out with your friend or family member’s ex?
My answer: Continue reading
How to Lose 300 Lbs in One Day (Results May Vary)
I decided on my birthday that I was too fat and wanted to lose weight. I decided to get serious about my health and started making changes. I got serious again in April and joined and gym and got a trainer. I got even more serious in August and modified my diet drastically, but with changes I knew I could sustain long term. As a result, I’ve lost a few pounds and a few inches. (It’s actually more than a few, but that’s another blog for another day.)
As I prepare to clear my closet of clothes that no longer fit (almost 50% of all the clothes in my closet), I am realizing that more than my closet requires decluttering. I need to declutter my life. Continue reading
You Knew You Were Fat
I’m watching “The Wendy Williams” show and she’s reporting on R&B singer, Rueben Studdard, who has joined the cast of NBC’s “Biggest Loser.” Wendy has quoted Rueben as saying that he wonders why his friends never told him he needed to lose weight. While I don’t know if the statement attributed to him is accurate or not, I don’t like it. Here’s why: Continue reading
Know When It’s Time to Find a New Dream
People love to tell you “never give up on your dream!” “Never stop believing it can happen!” What they forget to add is to “be flexible,” “know when to change gears,” and perhaps most importantly, “know when it’s time to find a new dream.” Continue reading
