This weekend a new term was introduced into the lexicon of dating. The word is heterofatalism. It is the nihilistic behavior of women who are heterosexual yet tired of men’s dating behavior.

What are they to do? Perhaps there’s room for alternative perspectives to reach the lonely. On this episode of “Sorry for My Language” I entertain various perspectives as well as one newly found unlikely couple, Deion Sanders and Karrueche.

Are you a goalpost mover?

Do you feel that there is a life after this?

Do you think good people get rewarded for being good and bad people get punished for being bad?

or

Do you think is cause and effect the universal rule?

Let's dive into this to understand if we're adequate judges for any of these standards. What if the bad person thinks that they're the good person? Are you the bad person to everyone else?

he battle between the Mexican population in California and the U.S. government is rooted in colonial conquest, broken treaties, racial injustice, land theft, and ongoing systemic discrimination. It is a long history of resistance, resilience, and a fight for justice and recognition in a land that was once part of Mexico.

Starting a YouTube channel has several advantages for everyone. Video journaling offers several unique advantages over traditional written or audio journaling. Here are the key benefits of recording your thoughts on video regularly:

1. Emotional Expression & Clarity • Facial expressions and tone capture emotion more vividly than writing. • Helps you see and hear your true emotional state, which can be revealing and therapeutic.

2. Self-Awareness & Personal Growth • Watching past videos provides insight into how you’ve grown emotionally, mentally, or spiritually. • You can recognize patterns in your thinking and behavior over time.

3. More Natural for Some People • If you find writing tedious or unnatural, speaking your thoughts may feel easier and more authentic. • It allows free-flowing expression without the pressure to edit or structure your thoughts.

4. Improved Communication Skills • Regular speaking practice helps you articulate thoughts more clearly and confidently. • You may become more comfortable with public speaking, storytelling, or expressing yourself in conversations.

5. Time-Efficient • Talking is often faster than writing. • Great for capturing fleeting thoughts or emotions in the moment.

6. Visual Memory Aid • Seeing yourself at different points in time creates a rich archive of memory—not just what you said, but how you looked and felt. • Helpful in tracking changes in mood, health, or life circumstances.

7. Potential for Creative Use • Can be repurposed later for personal projects (e.g., documentaries, memoirs, art). • Inspires creative storytelling or visual expression.

People need people. Make a friend of yours a good friend and separate them from mere associates. There is a huge difference. Distinguish friends from good friends, then recruit people who show potential of being good people for you.

Spend more quality time with those who are your friends by actually connecting with them when you are around them.

Ryan Coogler’s Sinners is a daring foray into supernatural horror, set against the backdrop of 1930s Mississippi. With Michael B. Jordan delivering a dual performance as twin brothers Elijah “Smoke” and Elias “Stack,” the film intertwines themes of Black identity, family legacy, and the American dream through a unique blend of crime and vampire horror. The narrative follows Smoke and Stack, World War I veterans returning to Clarksdale, Mississippi, with aspirations of opening a juke joint. Their dreams are shattered when a vampire named Remmick arrives, turning Stack and others into vampires. The ensuing chaos leads to a climactic confrontation where Smoke sacrifices himself to destroy the vampires and protect their young cousin, Sammie. A mid-credits scene fast-forwards to 1992, revealing an aged Sammie, now a renowned blues musician, being visited by the immortal Stack and Mary. They offer him eternal life, which he declines, choosing instead to continue his musical journey. Michael B. Jordan’s portrayal of both Smoke and Stack is a standout, showcasing his range and depth as an actor. Coogler’s direction brings a fresh perspective to the horror genre, blending historical realism with supernatural elements to explore complex themes. Sinners delves into the complexities of Black identity, cultural appropriation, and historical trauma. The use of vampirism serves as a metaphor for exploitation and the erasure of Black culture. Sammie’s musical gift, which allows him to connect with ancestral spirits, symbolizes the enduring power of cultural heritage. The film’s cinematography captures the essence of the 1930s South, with atmospheric lighting and period-accurate set designs. The soundtrack, featuring blues and jazz influences, complements the narrative and enhances the emotional resonance of the story.

Listening to your body and mind can be confusing. Which one overrides the other? I think the body/mind conversation should be an internal dialogue rather than simply an old adage.

There’s a big difference between being nice and being kind. Toxic positivity is usually a trait when someone follows the societal norms of being nice. This behavior will usually be more of a formality than an exercise in honesty. The kind one is often kind enough to be honest and never spare anyone of the gift of the necessary truth. These characteristics can change your life by changing key components of your interactions

Why is it that we always have to prove ourselves as something that we aren't to people who don't eve care? For childishly perceived social value, I understand. However, beyond childhood it makes no sense and the imposter behavior often ends unfavorably.
