Part 1: Friends I looked around at my wedding and realized, I fit in. I can literally go anywhere, hang with anyone, and be just fine. Most people would say it’s because I adapt well. This I would disagree with. I am exactly who I am at all times and it just so happens that … Continue reading Shaping Sheem: A Mini Series

Its our Rule #2... About a year or so ago, I met a man. He was tall and burly. He laughed a lot, had a huge red beard, and tried to sell me video games. He was different than I was in almost every way, vegan, didn't like to swear, he bad mouthed Grubhub. In … Continue reading In Gage We Trust
