(thank you for not screwing with me too much this past Friday!) - The long-running issue with unemployment money, and the subsequent appeal mentioned here, finally ended last week. The judge reversed the state's decision and awarded me 5 of the 8 weeks that I had requested unemployment, which I received on the 31st of March. … Continue reading “Inside The Terrordome”/”Short Circuits”: ‘Don’t Fool Me, April!’
“Inside The Terrordome”: ‘Back To Reality’
Well, I'm one week removed from Spring Break. Of the many things I'd hoped to get done on break, the only thing that panned out was the Unemployment appeal - it actually happened on the 22nd, the Tuesday after Break. I now have to wait for some kind of ruling on it. The 3 likely outcomes … Continue reading “Inside The Terrordome”: ‘Back To Reality’
The Internet Can Take You To Unintended, Interesting Places: An Article About Interracial Marriages and Couples
I started out by seeing a Facebook "trend", regarding Red Kryptonite and the show Supergirl. It was a preview for an upcoming episode (NO SPOILERS!); at the bottom of the page was an article entitled "9 Things You Should Never Say To Interracial Couples": Article From the website "Bustle", written by Gino M. Florio, it deals with … Continue reading The Internet Can Take You To Unintended, Interesting Places: An Article About Interracial Marriages and Couples
Spring Break/Need A Break
I would love to announce, on this first official day of Spring Break Week, that I am taking a 6-day trip to Orlando, Florida, with a stop at the Outer Banks in North Carolina on the way home. I've never taken a vacation on Spring Break, so this will be an awesome first-time trip! Reality, … Continue reading Spring Break/Need A Break
“Inside The Terrordome”: ‘Survive And Adapt!’
Surviving the monetary and life sucker punches from January and February... barely: I may need to rethink the design, layout, title (just so there's no unintended copyright infringement with the Public Enemy track this title is based off of), and overall content of "Welcome to the Terrordome". I'd like to keep the personal updates in here; outside of … Continue reading “Inside The Terrordome”: ‘Survive And Adapt!’
Republicans and the Black Vote (article links)
Continuing the theme of the earlier post about race and the Democratic candidates for the Presidency, the Republican candidates have an even larger question to answer, one in which the BBC touched on In July 2015: Can any of the Republican candidates sway enough black voters to their cause in 2016?

LG V10 Phone: Informal Review
After a month without service, I reconnected to my Verizon account, complete with a phone upgrade, on February 12th.

That upgrade has been a great move, so … Continue reading LG V10 Phone: Informal Review

Louisville’s Misplaced Hotel Boom
The hotel business is booming in Downtown Louisville. It should be booming in another part of the city. Last week, Dallas-based Omni Hotels & Resorts broke ground for the much-delayed, much-argued Omni Louisville Hotel, on 2nd Street between Liberty and Jefferson Streets. This massive project will bring over 600 luxury rooms and 200 apartments to the … Continue reading Louisville’s Misplaced Hotel Boom
“Short Circuits”: “More Opiniony, without the fat!”
So, Bernie Sanders and Hilary Clinton had a photo finish in Iowa on the Democratic side, with Clinton nosing out Sanders, while Ted Cruz somehow edged out Donald Trump and a surprising Marco Rubio on the Republican side. This year’s races are intriguing me more than some of the recent races: Clinton/Sanders are doing to … Continue reading “Short Circuits”: “More Opiniony, without the fat!”
