I, Reject
Let us take a trip back in time to 1998, the year of Fat Boy Slim’s The Rockafella Skank, Adam Sandler’s The Waterboy and arguably the greatest FIFA game of all time. It was also the year that saw the debut of one of my most cherished childhood TV shows, it is hard to believe how much time has passed since then.

Welcome Aboard
I'm usually game to talk about cruise ships. I worked as a performer on ships around the world for years. It was an intense, formative time, saturated with adventure, fresh beliefs, revelry.

Where There’s a Will (Smith) There’s a Way
What a week! The infamous Oscar slap had everyone’s head in a talespin! How could “hollywood’s golden boy” ever be human and show an emotion that we don’t agree with at a moment that will change history forever!? How will humanity survive this 2 second slap!? I’m kidding, it was shocking and that’s why I thought it was a joke, like a skit, yano? Apparently so did Michael Bay, Bad Boys Director…

Emotional Abuse is referred to as "ghosting."
Start writing..."Good night, Skye," he murmured, and that was the last time I heard from him... three weeks ago. After a little dispute, my serious boyfriend, who had just swore to me the night before that he still desired our relationship despite the fact that he had moved to another state (we were planned for me to go there), abruptly stopped communicating to me...

Five Types of Untrustworthy People
Well well well… if it isn’t my tinder dates from Christmas past. My ‘look what the cat dragged in’ old high-school mates, and my Toxic Bosses from ‘you’ll never be good enough for a promotion’ lane…

Easter is a Family Affair
At the time of publishing, Easter is just over two weeks away (the approval process for Vocal can take longer than expected). It is a time that is synonymous with religion, chocolate and for me, family. It is a bank holiday weekend in the United Kingdom and I am looking forward to having a long weekend away from work (between the 13th and 18th of April).

And the Oscar for Jealous Husband Goes to Will Smith
Reality is always messy, ripe with conflict, unsettled resentment, and bittersweet redemption. Ironically, the compelling filmmaking ingredients necessary to make it to the Oscars were the ones Smith²-Rock delivered during the 94th Academy Awards. Watching the incident was like seeing all of what the world has known as jovial and light-hearted entering reality’s no man’s land. Not sure if we should be thanking the Academy for this one.

Dear future lover, please love me like...
Dear future lover, please love me like my sister and I love one another. Love me like my sister loves me when she asks me to let her know when I arrive somewhere safely. With a thoughtfulness that reminds you of me when you see my favorite character on a t-shirt. Love me with an understanding to know when I am ready to talk, and when to leave me be until I can piece together my words. Love me with a sense of admiration that’s not afraid to tell me when I’m wrong. Love me like my sister who runs to me to tell me about her good days, but also entrusts me as the only person to show the darkest parts to. I desire a love that knows the way I think and process, but more importantly respects it.

Awkward First Date: What Can You Do To Save Face?
Some people come off creepy when they are nervous. They stare at you in silence, not knowing what to say. You fidget, get anxious that maybe they just don’t like you.

Staying in the Closet
Stuff is stuff. Every time I walk through a thrift store I am reminded of how quickly things go from must-haves to must-nots. This is especially true of clothes. You’ll find racks of discarded shoes, handbags worn but not worn out, and dresses guilty only of the crime of outlasting their peak of stylishness.

The Jealous Girlfriend
Every time I think of trying to describe the sensation of relationship jealousy, my mind automatically goes to the scene from Twilight when Edward is trying to explain how Bella’s smell shoots a sharp pain in his throat akin to a branding iron. I’d say that jealousy is a similar feeling, only it’s located in the chest. It comes on quickly and makes you feel it all over your chest, and especially close to your heart. It’s frequently matched by an equally painful throat closure and the feeling that your stomach is dropping, like you’re on a massive rollercoaster. In other words, it’s a mixture of anger and fear.
