Jordan Hauser, the man behind the the podcasts, talks toContinue reading “This Blog Is Like, So Trendy”

Two weeks ago, I had some Old Navy Super Cash I wanted to spend. I made some purchases in January but I knew I had more amazing fashionwear in mind. I wanted to continue to build on my successful gender nonconformity storyline of 2021 and not write it off as a phase. I ordered myContinue reading “Old Navy Spring 🌺 and Summer ☀️ Fits”

February has come and gone and we are ever so closer to Spring (16 days as of this blog). Unlike January, this month wasn’t as eventful. We didn’t see as much snow but more rain with a freezing rain event early. Presidents’ Day felt more like Spring as I took advantage of a nice dayContinue reading “February 2022 Rewind”

The things that make me tick are finally coming back into play. Those are Toastmasters, my blog, and my fashion sense. It’s contest season and most events are in person once again. I can’t guarantee I’ll be able to make the ones I want to be at, but I’ll make the most of every opportunity.Continue reading “Best Day of 2022”

It felt great to attend my first in person Toastmasters event in two years. It felt great to get out of the house on a cold February day. It felt great to talk to people again, who get me and my gender nonconformity ⚧ 🏳️‍⚧️ 🏳️‍🌈 . I hope to have more opportunities like thatContinue reading “First Speech Contest in Two Years”

1999 was an interesting year to say the least. It was the last year of the 20th century and we were uncertain whether or not the Y2K computer bug was going to shut our world down. It was my last year of high school before I started college. It was the year the St. LouisContinue reading “Greatest Show on Turf”

After the 2018 season ended, the Cincinnati Bengals fired longtime coach Marvin Lewis after 16 seasons (which included zero playoff wins and the longest playoff win drought in the NFL). A 4-1 start to the 2018 campaign ended with nine losses in their last eleven games. Enough was enough and it was time for aContinue reading “Cincinnati’s Super Season”
