Hillary Clinton for President – Shannon in Kansas City

I think that Hillary Clinton is going to be the next president of the United States. At least she is who I am supporting in this year’s presidential election. I think the country is ready for a lady to be in the driver’s seat. Or at least she will win because the other candidates are…
Harper Lee – Shannon in Kansas City

There are many types of people that I admire. I admire 90s super models, professional athletes, artists, fashion designers and domestic goddesses. But I admire writers more than anyone else. Writers work with their mind and the writing instrument of their choice and that is all. They have the ability to use the resource of their mind to…
False Ideals – Shannon in Kansas City

We are taught to love, uphold and strive for ideals. The media and the culture at large teach us about ideal beauty. We should all want to be thin, young, have long hair and be White, or at least the Whitest version of what your ethnic group can provide if you are a non White person. We are told…

#oscarssowhite – Shannon in Kansas City

#OscarssoWhite is a trending hash tag that is meant to bring attention to the lack of diversity in the work that the film academy recognizes as excellent. All of the nominees for acting awards that are nominated are White. To this I say so what. Hollywood is not special. I think that people perceive Hollywood…
9 to 5

This lyrics to Dolly Parton’s “9 to 5” is some of the realist $#!% ever! The movie debuted in 1980 but the lyrics are still relevant today. Just listen. 9 to 5 Tumble outta bed and I stumble to the kitchen Pour myself a cup of ambition And yawnin’, stretchin’, try to come to…
The Reason I’m a Sports Fan – Shannon in Kansas City

It’s time for the NFL Playoffs. My favorite team, the Detroit Lions didn’t make the Playoffs and my second favorite team the Kansas City Chiefs lost in the second round which ended their season. Watching sports on TV or in person has become one of my favorite past times. Sporting events are one of only…
