Hey there! Hope all is well with you, So happy and “happy” to say my ceiling finally got fixed. My eyes are telling you a deeper story without words. Today will be fun as the guy who fixed the ceiling also is here to fix a fan in a garage. Of course, he is using a saw so he is a part of the show too. I even have his battery charger charging in the house as I am recording this. I tell ya people think I just sit in my house. No man, I’m Pinky and The Brain up in here. Except I don’t really want to take over the World. Anyhoo, today I am in the streets ha I should say outside for some answers to a question, sharing some stories that caught my eye and a random question. This guy and his saw brt.
So I am loving all the compliments I am getting on the hair lately, it’s all about the curly hair squad these days. So many women! Song by: Sugar Beats Do It! Yo so I saw this Instagram of this lady getting her hair trimmed, and her hair was long and I guess unhealthy. The comments about the amount cut off reminded me how when I was younger I wasn’t trying to cut my hair either. Friggin hairdressers with the life lessons. You gotta let go to grow. Made me think of other things we don’t let go of. Jobs, relationships, clothes. I’ve been playing games and having fun with the energy, seeing what I need to let go of.
Okay so onto the show, you know Pfizer is now FDA approved right? Ummmmmm. But remember we had to get vaccines for school. BUT, For the conspiracy theorist, they are not helping. You guys let those movies come out that just seem too close to real life and there are those of us who believe that it comes out in the movies first and then it happens in real life. I know your cool friends told you this. So you cannot blame people for not trusting you. Plus all the real-life crazy. They need to handle this much better.
Onto Good news, living longer. A longevity researcher gives us some tips. More news and New Segment: The Nerd in Me, SO…there is an asteroid that will be passing near Earth in early Sept. this thing is Huge, larger than a football field and taller but Nasa says we are pretty much free of and direct hits until next century or so.
Back after the break, the question that has been on my mind lately are labels. Are we separating ourselves more by labels or are they bringing us together? Labels or pictures create meaning for us and do we then live up to the label? When you first meet someone is it more about how nice you are rather than what your label/title is? So rather than me rambling on I went and asked some folks.
So before we run outta here, I am gonna draw a random question from the candybowl. Gotta watch or Listen on the podcast platforms. Man this show was fun! Hit me up on social, if you have a question to go into the fishbowl or a topic I should ask folks about hit me up!

Hey!!! I am becoming so empowered!
Moving on, speaking of moving on there are some leaders in the cryptocurrency world that are leaving their posts! The co-founder of Ethereum and Dogecoin have both left their positions! Citing that the crypto world is still ruled by the uber-rich,
Congratulations to Ms. Meg the Stallion, she is gracing the cover of Sports Illustrated. The first rapper to grace the cover. I really hope this will be a step more in the direction of showing that black women are sexy too and not just sex-crazed women. The stereotypes for the women are just crazy, so I am really hoping that we can get off this angry black woman thing.
Hey There! OMG, it is so hot in here today! I probably should not have recorded in the middle of a heatwave, but I needed to express! Don’t mind me as I get my fan so I can stay a little cool with all my cooling devices off. So, let me get on with it. Today we are going to be chatting about a side topic that came up during our convo with Anonomus, about age, but we will talk about that later.
I have a crazy story to share with you, there is a stripper who is being sued by a man who claims he had a relationship with her. WTF?? Wait so you had a relationship with her and now you’re suing her??? Hold Up! That’s what dancers do! They get money from people! WTH so you mad she did her job well? I have respect for dancers I am one of the first females to hold down head DJ position at a gentlemen’s club and other type of adult venues as well. I say do what you gotta do, get that bag. It’s not bad for guys unless you’re going in the middle of the day and spending all your dough. If we can really sue exes for gifts and things you gave/bought them (unless it’s some real use and abuse shit) I want my damn time back. Lol
On to some serious news, I saw China has announced that they will house humans on Mars. This is according to a recent announcement. The writer of the article says basically fat chance and that USA will get there first. The part that caught my eye is they have visualized a ladder of sorts to reach the planet. That made me think of the whole Jacobs ladder to heaven. I‘m not trying to get all religious or anything but how is it there are all these stories???? Why is there so much interest in living on another planet? Haven’t we messed this one up enough? OR… is it that scientists know this pole shift ish may be real, and they are finding another place to live? What if they are thinking they are going to take the desirables to another planet to restart humanity like in the movies. I keep thinking of the movie Rat Race and those movies from the ’90s.
In some dope news, they have created the first quantum sensor microscope, which makes me think of what I wrote in Manifest Beauty: The Beauty is Your Life about The Entanglement Theory from Albert Einstein. I give an exercise that you can do to show yourself this phenomenon. Now I do not in any way shape or form proclaim to know how it all works, but I do pick up on ish. I figure there is something to this field of potentiality and there are things we can do to work with this field of energy to help benefit our personal lives.
What really got me all t’ed off is this episode of Love and Hip hop where the only come back a girl yelling had was with your old ass, why you here grandma? WTF??? I mean what is the goal of life? Living long and happy right? Silly rabbit tricks are for kids. I came across some names of people who became wildly successful after the age of 40, wanna hear them? Here we go…Let’s get better in time.
Morgan Freeman, Regis, Betty White, KFC guy, Duncan Hines, McDonald's, Arnold Swercheneger, Octavia Spencer, Kim Catrall, Samuel Jackson, Wendy Williams, Steve Carell, Leslie Jones, Ty Burell etc etc etc.

In this episode of Random Ish with Sonja, I have a guest co-host to chop up some events that caught my eye. My guest is Lamont aka Anonomus, He’s a rapper living in FL, I am jealous a bit…the beaches. In our opening remarks, he explains what really happened, why everyone had their eyes on Florida this past spring. We both agree, even though restrictions are being lifted, mask it up.
On to the something old that caught my attention, I was watching the biopic of Aretha Franklin that National Geographic did of her called Genius. It was so good I had no idea she went thru so much. Did you know her son and granddaughter protested the production? Why? How much say does a family really have on the life and career of an artist? My daughter cannot tell you the things I have gone thru only parts I wanted her to know. My guest has relatives that have accomplished great things in the industry, does he know everything about their climb? Is this protest just really about money?
Moving on to Mr.Jackson, been a while since we heard that name, I am not referring to Michael, rather Derick. The guy who claims to be a relationship expert got caught cheating. His claim to fame is Black Men Don’t Cheat. It’s not the cheating that has us talking rather the response, and is he just really working the system? Is this whole incident just a way to create a platform for his wife?? We know there are strategies folks are using to create traffic and generate attention to themselves, is this whole thing just a ploy we all fell for?
Okay Now, I have a scroll-stopping topic to talk about. Are you ready? The penis is getting smaller y’all. Yep, I said it, there was a post on Tic Tok and showed some data…got me curious so I did some research. It’s true!!! The plastics in our environment and water have caused a decrease in the size of men’s penis over the past few decades.
The phthalates are causing a drop in sperm count by 53%. There is a new book called The Countdown. Food packaging, personal care cosmetics, etc. etc. are already in our bodies and environment. The author of the book is saying by 2043 the sperm count will be at 0 if nothing is done. Since 1983 testosterone has been on the decline. Since men do not really check their health is this one of the secret ways we are giving up control?
Lamont shares a personal story where he showed himself, he had to put himself first and how even though we know better, we do not always do better until it really affects us.
After the break, we start chatting up the technology that has enabled us to be able to create at the drop of a hat and really put work out there. Shouts out to cool edit pro…that’s how long we have been doing this lol. I often talk about AI and robots and computers, but I am so grateful for the technology to be able to create a platform VS what I have done in the past, morphing yourself so you can keep working.
So much more to tell you about, but I'm running out of room so You will just have to listen or watch! Thanks by the way.

This time I am having a little girl talk with Destini, a singer-songwriter from the left coast.
We are chatting up relationships, self-love, energy and more. Asking why we do some of the things we do when it comes to men. In our convo we find out that her parents are still married, and my parents upon divorce both married their high school sweethearts. I did still grow up in a two-parent household, but it still ended in divorce. While we both want to experience marriage; I am more the bachelorette vs her relationship chick. Does our upbringing really have something to do with relating now? Are we really that textbook? I do not believe that by the way.
On the topic of Marriage: I ask her does she think growing up seeing dad at home, did that help with her ability to choose? Does her parents still being together make her always think, I know I used to think when I was younger and growing up in a family environment, that when you date someone it is for the intention of marriage. If I didn’t see myself with a guy forever, then I just stopped. Has she felt that way? Interesting that we both use to think that is what dating is for. Turns out marriage and relationships are not as easy as some people make it look.
Touching a bit on energy, we both have realized If you call yourself a healer, did you know you may be a magnet for men that need to be healed? Watch for them red flags girl! We do touch on how when you’re just having fun, a lil red flag never hurt anyone. Here are some rules though, do not kiss, do not spend the night and do not introduce anyone to the family.
Do people end up getting together just because of time spent? It’s been 2 years; we should get together. Is that bad?
She explains a betrayal, and covid mandatory quarantine ended up being the catalyst so she could find out that she needed to really start her self-love journey. Often, we realize we need to be loving ourselves a bit more from dealing with relationships.
Now that we are all loving ourselves what kind of man are we desiring to attract? Do we now have smoke signals and signs that we can proceed with a possible relationship? I like how she wants to deal with a man who has had some form of therapy and is God-fearing, and a family man. I am loving guys who can listen to my energy talk without the eyes rolling into the back of their heads.
Switching subjects, talking about her music, and how finding her voice has been a way to communicate with other women who have been and are going thru similar situations. We all feed into each other. Her music that is out now is called The Payback and it’s not about revenge, more about the self-love and the payback to yourself when you start loving you. Her next project? It’s all about being sweet and spicy. Just the way we like it.

So it's been about two months since my household changed and I do feel like I am now catching my groove and can get back to my fun! So today I am chatting up some things that are on my mind, and I have my random fishbowl of questions. Hey!
First things first, my family, It dawned on me the other day that I did kind of ask for this to happen, and how it reminds me of how other things in my life just keep lining up one right after the other. Like how I got into being a DJ. I always wanted it but saw no way. One thing lead to another and at times it seemed so unrelated but things are always working hand in hand. Even though I had hiccups and whatnot the energy always seemed to bring things together like I planned it. Shameless self-promo you can read the stories and get insights on working the energy for those of us who do NOT want to do Yoga all day or stop living in "The Real World" how our "help" can guide us while we guide it. Science and Philosophy for the real world in real-time. Helps for a better quality of life. Anyway...
So since I am taking energy, I am switching the order of the topics and starting with Scientific American, NASA, Jay-Z, and Robocops are coming!!
I am breaking down how TV programming really does have an influence on us, as I recall memories from childhood shows and ran across one of my favorites; Jem. I forgot how much we were getting prepped for a computer life. Side note, Please and thanks for continuing to bring back the scripted show mainstream!
Back to my point, Jem and Synergy which was AI, Jetsons Rubi, I might as well stop resisting and realize change is here, and we just may be AI ourselves.
Mars had its first helicopter flyover. They trying to leave us!!! Or is it the power struggle? China got to the darkside of the moon before us, and they are digging in the ocean are they looking for the Holy Grail, the Da Vinci Code? Yo, the rabbit hole is deep and can make you CRAZY!!
Why are my favorite couples calling it quits? I have questions about the Arod and Jlo thing...was he dick riding? Was it news of her old hits being sung by others?
Kim why you leaving Kanye? Why she post a pic right after this recording saying it's not for you to understand? Okay fine.
Weed smokers beware these new strains are causing CHS where weed actually makes you sick! WTF?!
Also, the Random Question fishbowl... Situationships Rules. Damn it I had fun with this one.
