EPISODE CXVIII: THE MOMENTS

  We always should try not to find ourselves falling into a deep hole in life despite how difficult it can be.  We come out from the deep holes we create for ourselves and learn how to let the moments our life guide us to making new and wonderful ones moving forward.  MUSIC FROM THIS EPISODE MY LIFE - Zhu CRACKS - Freestylers, Belle Humble (Flux Pavilion remix) FROM OUT OF NOWHERE - Faith No More OUT FROM THE DEEP - Enigma WALKING ON A DREAM - Empire of the Sun HANGING BY A MOMENT 0 Lifehouse I CAN FEEL IT - Sickick

EPISODE CXVII: THE DETOXIFICATION OF OUR CHILDREN

 Our kids notice everything.  What we say and do, how we act and react.  Furthermore, they have a very difficult life to live right now.  So many outside influences and it isn't just those Eddie Haskells anymore. We dive in and explore this and figure out how can we provide a safe space for our kids, and hopefully find a way to believe in us. MUSIC FROM THIS EPISODE YOUTH OF THE NATION -P.O.D.

EPISODE CXVI: BREAKING NEWS: INSTASNAPBOOK X TOK

It is not the longest episode ever, but may quite be the most controversial.  In wake of many events that have happened this past week, I explore the idiocy of tribalism and brainwashing.  I speak about how social media and cable network news has made us all crazy.  The unnecessary calling out crap that people do and I ask how can we be better and not allow the powers that be and all this other stuff make us lose our humanity.

THE STATES OF AMERICA

  When I first wrote this, I spoke about many of the events that happened in some detail and how I personally felt about them. For some reason it wouldn't let me post. I think the universe wanted me to think about this again and come back. So that is what I am doing, hence why I'm a day late and not a dollar short. (read more)

EPISODE CXV: THE FALL AND THE RISE

 This last month has been really tough for me, and I have had many mental health moments.  Depressing moments, panic attacks, and I crashed out yesterday.  I talk about how that felt and what I do to move forward and not be to hard on myself for it.

EPISODE CXIV: THE LABOR OF LIFE

 Happy Labor Day.  Imagine a holiday to celebrate working.  Who comes up with this things?  Maybe we should evaluate our happiness and what we are doing with ourselves.  We want happiness love and acceptance.  How can we do these things?  We can start with ourselves and begin on this Labor Day MUSIC FROM THIS EPISODE A JOB AINT NOTHING BUT WORK - Big Daddy Kane LIFE IS KILLING ME - Type O Negative MANY RIVERS TO CROSS - CDM EVERYONE HURTS - R.E.M.
