Recklessly authentic.
The State of Arizona has a new bill that the Governor (Jan Brewer) may or may not sign. If she signs it, it will become law that businesses can basically refuse service based on sexual orientation. If she vetos it, it won't be law. But if she does nothing, it will become law anyway. Decisions, decisions. When Igwe and I first talked about this, my immediate answer was to veto the bill. But then, yesterday, I began to think about it again. Last week, I was helping a coworker who is a Read More
I remember when there was a lot of heavy promotion for Bravo TV's new reality series, Blood, Sweat, & Heels. I didn't pay it too much mind, but then, when I discovered that one of the stars of the show - Demetria Lucas - is a blogger, I became determined to watch it at least once.

Once again, I am confronted with a large sum of money that is too big for me to even understand. $19 billion??? What does that even mean --- and when can I experience some of this?

This sausage, from Johnsonville, is unlike most other sausage in its category.To start, it's fully cooked and packs great flavor but unlike most other fully cooked sausage, Johnsonville uses absolutely no fillers which is how their sausages get Read More
Igwe and I have been arguing over this for the past 48 hours, and we still don't agree. I don't even remember how we got into this conversation. Igwe believes that there's absolutely nothing wrong with a man paying for a first date with a GroupOn/Living Social coupon, especially if it's for something expensive - like one of those hard-to-get-into restaurants that might cost about $500 for food. I, on the other hand, completely disagree. I think that using coupons is one of those things you save Read More
