Are the Disabled a Protected Community ?
Legally in the United States of America, the disabled community is a protected class. Yet in the eyes of rising crime? I feel that the average criminal would not care if you are disabled or not. After all, a Mayor’s aide in NYC was robbed at gunpoint, yes gunpoint! (https://www.fox5ny.com/news/mayor-adams-aide-robbed-at-gunpoint) Criminals are becoming more brazen […]

When It Comes to Health, Adapt to Time As A Construct
‘Time as a construct’ is a very dangerous narrative , I believe. Yet, during the pandemic the idea of time or even being on time was just that, a construct. Our lives were too warped in pandemic coverage at times to really stick to a 24 hour clock. Yet, here I am in 2022 arguing […]

For the past three springs/summers now, we have had to suffer through the Tampa Bay Lightning beating the Islanders and Rangers in the ECF of the Stanley Cup playoffs .

Americana Is What We Yearn For, Will We Get There Again?
Textbooks and television can’t bring us a great vision right now in America. No matter the commercials we may see about how we are coming back as a country, it will never truly help us achieve Americana. And maybe that’s ok. Maybe as we scroll our phones a dose of reality this week is what […]

We Must Stop Sitting on Our Hands After the Tragedy in Uvalde, Texas
Most people would automatically assume I will now advocate for gun control because the only way we sit on our hands is not acting on gun control , right? Absolutely wrong. Sure , limiting AR-15’s to strictly active military personnel, yes ACTIVE ONLY, would help. But, so many sit on their hands in so many […]

Say it with me: Disability is NOT inability!!! I found this saying as a hashtag and will definitely will be utilizing the hashtag: disabilityisnotinability.

Let’s Have Christmas Spirit and Music For Easter By Alex Garrett
Easter is a a weekend that celebrates re-birth. Christmas is a day we celebrate The Birth. In my view they are very connected, even musically. We sing O Come Emmanuel when we await the birthday of The Prince of Peace. Well, aren’t we celebrating that hope Jesus brings by resurrecting on Easter Sunday? How about […]

Sometimes You Can Buy Back Your Childhood, Just Ask Steve Cohen
For 60 years, the Mets have had a majority of a suffering fan base . While I personally know the Wilpons, outsiders would say they neglected the team for far too long amidst this franchise history. Sure, under the Wilpons the Mets won the 1986 World Series. Sure, under the Wilpons the Mets went to […]

Is My Leg Doubled In Age?
While I may be 30, I’ve been wondering about my body clock and age. Every day is a leg day for me, I don’t need the gym for that. Yet, could the factor of being functional on one leg for the last 30 years mean this leg has doubled the workload for two legs? Is […]
