Thanksgiving blessings. This is a blog I felt like writing because, if you are like me, 2020 has left us ungrateful, or at least, distracted from life’s blessings.
Sure everyday I give some thanks for decent health, my family, a roof over my head and food to eat. The standard things most of us take for granted. However, on Thanksgiving I really sat down to reflect on all the things I am grateful to have.

Happy Veteran’s Day to all veterans who read this, as well as happy belated birthday to our United States Marine readers. Veteran’s day means something different to each veteran and below are some of my thoughts.
As a veteran of the United States Marine Corps I never really got into Veterans Day until I became older. I still struggle at times getting a free meal or a thank you for your service. There are many reasons for this but as I grow older I become more accepting of it…and yes if you want to offer me a free meal I will surely eat it and not argue over it.

Sexuality: What Does it Matter to You Anyways?
It seems like more and more the headlines on Yahoo or Google (or any other site) is calling out a person for their sexuality. Whether an actor, politician, athlete or any celebrity for that fact it is like it is some huge ordeal which clouts their ability to perform. I just saw the other day an article about a mayor of a large city that was bisexual, and his wife put it best…is sexuality and what he likes is between me and him and our household. I think this has a lot to with the media campaign to divide us which you can read here
As a bisexual male, yes I am bi, yes I like men and women, I haven’t ever found out what the big deal is. Now 20 years ago, sure it was a big deal as I was pretty young and ignorant in my thoughts. The internet was somewhat newer, and I didn’t know how to navigate around it other than my email and favorite porn sites. However, the older I grew, the more my mind changed. My sexuality changed.
A good majority of the time I hear women say they are not confident enough in their bodies (weight, breast size, stretch marks, etc.) to go naked in front of other people. This is understandable and I don’t blame you, hell, society has told you and shown you this since you were a child.
However, women aren’t the only ones that face this type of confidence issues…men face them as well.
What is your morning routine? Do you open your eyes and immediately shift into third gear and go, or do you take time to set your morning in motion with something positive, and low stress. This could be mediation, yoga, stretching, or just sitting around in peace and quiet.
The way they portray things and people in movies, shows, social media posts/memes, and the news fuels bias and personal opinions. Slant it one way for long enough you will begin to think that way, even if you know if you. They know it. How do you think the 50 year failed war on drugs continues to spend billions of dollars every year with zero evidence that it has done nothing but devastate the African American community? If you guess media campaigns, you would be correct.
