Recklessly authentic.
You know that I argue with myself a lot, right? If you knew half the conversations that go on in my head, you might stop reading this blog --- and maybe even sign a petition to have me committed. There are certain words that although innocent just sound dirty, and those three in the title are exactly what I'm talking about today. This reminds me of my 2009 post about ice cream. I was trying to decide the proper way to describe what you're doing to ice cream. Do you eat it, lick it, Read More
First of all, I want to say that my thoughts and prayers are with people who were affected by the senseless gun violence and terrorist attack in Las Vegas. I am so, so sorry.

Kevin Hart has been in the news since Saturday, but for all the wrong reasons. A while ago, it came out that Kevin Hart was cheating on his wife and he went above and beyond to discredit the allegations.
