PLAY BALL!



Championship game today! Dad Ben and Aaron did the game. It was so intense. Their game went 8 innings! And went all the way to the last call where the home team won 8-7. My dad and Ben did a really good job calling the game, and Aaron did too.
My mom and I showed up to the field late after getting hooked on the MJ documentary on MTV this morning. I don’t know if any of you saw it, but it just talked about all his music videos. I didn’t realize how into social injustice and all the social problems he was. It was insane. I guess after what felt like a life time in reslif class I pay more attention to those issues.
Today has been so much fun so far. I think I need a nap, but I love being home! Maybe I should just move back!

Some of the best conversations have come from the, "But why?" question. But why is that offensive? On Facebook I shared this Vox link , so I won't get into that, but I do want to take some time to talk about taking offense. Life is a collection of experience. After one is written into our book, the next experience will be affected because of it. In kindergarten, I had a true Corrina, Corrina experience in class, when someone asked, "Who used all ...

PSA: You Didn't Win Halloween & Neither Did I

Last night my social media feed was filled with photos of friends attending their weekend parties in their Halloween costumes. There were a couple families and friend groups who were the cast of Napoleon Dynamite, a hilarious couple who went as their dogs, Curious George and the man in the Yellow Suite, and even Tess and Emily Tyler (Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen from Billboard Dad). People are so creative when it comes to Halloween costumes! I am so not! But then I saw a couple’s costume I was so unbelievable uncomfortable with. alloween It was on Snapchat. Two people, one had painted himself brown to depict a character, a “hero” from a TV show we all watched in high school. Not just face painted, but arms, neck, chest. Then they added the chains. This, to that couple was a costume, but this also has a name, and that name is “blackface”. Minstrel shows started in the mid to late 19 th century, where white actors would paint their face to depict blacks on stage. The acto...
