The Gorgeous Ginger Lawyer

Life going on and my quest to finally break in these red Doc Martens I've had for ages (certainly pre-pandemic).Pic of the boots and my cat marking them. They're both such sweet cats.

Still being doing a lot lately and found out a menace was taken out of the legal profession. Never though I'd see that day come.Pic of the book I mention that I contributed a chapter to (which also touches a bit on this general topic). Go check out the US link here.

Food cops are more obnoxious than the picky eaters they wail about. Agree or disagree?Pic of roasted cauliflower I made. Not sure why I can't find frozen cauliflower like that these days but it is tasty.

Some thoughts on what I've been up to and why I think the concept of a legal community is an oxymoron.Pic is of a pig dressed as a judge near the courthouse in downtown Lexington, NC. I've been told I should be a judge.

Mic problems have derailed the show but trying to put something out and get to the bottom of that. It's Mother's Day and I read an article that warrants comment.Random stock pic to illustrate estranged mom/kid.

The recent outcry on these fields and whether people indeed "care about" them or not. I say they both need a "Hamilton" to make their mediums more accessible to the masses.Picture of ballet shoes I found online at random.

Yeah, that doesn't exist unless some Muslim swimwear designer comes up with that. This is what a swimsuit for Muslim women (called a "burkini") looks like.

Some remarks on the NYC dating scene and why we need the fear of God to be put back in some people.Random fitting image I found online (you shouldn't be proud of being one, by the way).

How did we go from "treat a date like a job interview" to "ask dates what their most controversial take is?"Saw this at a hotel I stayed at in NYC once. Maybe we should create a survival guide and give them to people once they are legal adults.

I've got an idea for increasing civility in the legal profession, helping people get access to good legal counsel and setting grievances all in one. Seeing this pic I took, I'm thinking maybe Maury Povich could referee these conflicts considering he did all the paternity test episodes and Jerry Springer is no longer with us.

An emotional bombshell long after I took the trash out.This poster was on my ceiling back in the day as a teen, the elusive "perfect guy" you never seem to find. I wonder if the Model Flake ever graced anyone's ceiling.

The movie is "Predators" not "Predator" as I misspoke. A discussion on that documentary along with the general trend of whining over consequences caused by one's own actions.This image just sums up society nicely. Saw it at a random NYC street fair.

Thoughts on the Ashley Madison documentary, a CEO who says she did this and cheating generally Saw this in the subway one day. If you know the symbolism, you know.

Hating tech when my printer refuses to continue working consistently and why are we rebranding Mama's Boys as "trad sons" like that's an aspiration??General stock photo expressing my feeling at the moment with the printer crisis.

The story of a single mom who deserves a fast food franchise and why lived experience beats school training any day of the week.Pic of the lady I'm discussing, who deserves her shot at franchise ownership.

Some parallels between Kim Davis and Jimmy Kimmel who both decided to bring their personal beliefs into the workplace. Remember her? You will.Pic of Kim Davis for those who forgot or don't remember who she is.

Some words on the recent murder of Charlie Kirk and why you don't belong here if you think that's cool. This pic has a major significance for me. I'd just ended things with Mr. Orgy and things were tense. This was the morning he was taking me to the airport. It'd been raining earlier and the sun was coming out. I wanted to capture this since I felt God was telling me things might be dark now but the sun would come out again and things would be better for me.

Air conditioning is critical in summer, especially if you are a natural redhead or live in the US on the East Coast. Don't mess with a Southerner's A/C unless you've got a death wish.Pic is a Windmill air conditioner, one of the best you can get since you can control it through an app; it's not cheap but it's well worth it.

There's been a lot of attempt to move the goalposts on sexual consent, especially with respect to women who are 18-24. Yet minors are competent to choose puberty blockers and the same age group can vote, drive cars and join the military?Stock pic of a heart with hands. Also a guest appearance from my cat.

A topic I haven't dealt with but actually is relevant to my life story.This stock pic is my take on drinking, having had an alcoholic father who wasn't a fun, silly, happy drunk.

Thinking about how to describe culture then, "ho chic" came to mind for me. The pic is of me in the 2000s. I was definitely NOT ho chic but also wasn't a prude since I continue to rebel heavily from that.

In the age of authenticity, why am I still being told to be ashamed of who I am and beg for the approval of others like a dog? I feel like this has been my penultimate limiting belief that's affected my money flow.The pic is of a waterfall in a park I passed by in downtown Oklahoma City when I went to a business convention last year that isn't directly related to what I actually do. The trip itself was memorable but a long haul.

It's official; I'm unemployed. Now comes the hunt for doing what I want to do on a permanent basis where I can pay bills and not feel disrespected, underutilized or unappreciated.This pic is from a trip to the Museum of American Finance back when you could visit in person. I just learned it's all virtual now.

Some words on the student loan debate and why you don't leave smart kids out in the cold.This is a pic from the top of the bell tower at my college, where I got to hit the bell to commemorate 20 years since I graduated from there.

A gripe I've had forever that just popped up. Basically, learn some Psych 101 if you want to get people to do the "right" thing when it's not fun or something people want to do.This pic is a prime example of what happens when you make things inconvenient like not having enough cart return spots or not keeping them clear of shopping carts.

After illness, I'm back and reflecting hard on this one since I have clothing and a professional career I'm looking at where changes should be made.This is the first evening dress I got and I wore it to my sorority chapter's Installation banquet. Debating on whether to keep that or not.

Who hates when someone offers you something, you take it and then your acceptance is thrown back in your face? Is it a difference between dog people and cat people? Random Gideon Bible here since God sides with me on this topic.

I've pondered this for years and still don't have an answer. Also, life updates. For those unfamiliar, this is the old 5 Pointz in Queens. It was destroyed by bureaucracy and the problem I'm mentioning here.

Musings about the recent CEO shooting in NYC and the sudden concern of Jordan Neely's family in light of the Daniel Penny trial. I saw this at a weekend flea market and it sums up the sentiment around the recent CEO shooting even though that guy killed him vs. just kicking his butt.

In light of recent death affecting me and having dealt with it a lot before, I figured now was the time to do that episode. This is Grim from "The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy," a great show you should see if you can. Grim has a Jamaican accent and, of course, he's the Grim Reaper so only fitting that he be the pic here.

Unless you like creating drama or have a death wish, you don't do this. I have a sister and if you dated her, I'm not dating you. No exceptions. Random Subway artwork that sums it up nicely.

I got a new mic so trying out a video format with some musings. Next week, I'll be having a guest and hopefully you won't be seeing my cat's butt on camera.

This realization was shocking to me. I was also testing out my wireless mic and the cat jumped on me so pardon any audio messiness. Pic is from the Judge Jerry set. I still maintain he'd have been a great president but more on that in a future episode.

The age old issue of long lines at the ladies room died with the transgender people (particularly women) getting to use the ladies rooms. What's good for the goose and all that. Saw this street artwork at random one day. Anyone got a comment or ideas on that one?

The term "drama" is very subjective when it comes to relationships but I finally figured out what that means for me. Pic is a Bob Ross Pop doll. His passing involves a LOT of drama; check out the Netflix documentary on that one.

They will. I just learned about the concept of rage rooms this week. The pic is what the inside of the trampoline park I went to looked like (but not the same place I went--I found this image at random).

It's an age old topic but I bring a nuanced take and a recent event (recorded Sunday so "last night" refers to Saturday night). These are unstuffed peppers I made for me at home. This is the type of cooking skill I have that makes me a rarity in NYC.

Interview with Ray Johnson, author of the new book "Conspiracy Ignited" which you can learn more about here: https://raymondpauljohnson.com/conspiracy-ignited/

I recently participated in a karaoke contest and found myself in a fundamental disagreement over how one should approach singing for an audience. The next episode will likely be another interview so check it out once that's done. Got this pic on a Yelp Elite outing to Blue Lounge. I believe it was in February 2020, the last event I went to before NYC officially went to Pandemic Hell.

I got a new job in the nick of time and comment on how to effectively approach women. Took this pic in the subway ages ago and holding firm to this is how I've managed to make it in life.

My experience with road tripping and how to do it right. This is a pic I took of the Arkansas border, as that is part of the road trip I took with my friend to CA. I was in a better position to get those pics in that one.

With all the recent documentaries, I'm seriously left with that question and feel it's a strong argument for the presence of general/in-house counsel in entertainment companies. This pic is of a street in LA I traveled on while on a road trip with a friend of mine in 2019.

Recorded this on Easter so I figured it was a good time to speak on an article I read about whether it's okay to drink coffee in church or not. Pic is of an actual church with pews and the books visitors can use to participate in services

Just read a story about people outsourcing their online dating, which I find unethical and more job woes I hope a reverse recruiter will solve. Pic is a random sign I saw in NYC that also is accurate

A very busy week and finding yet another rejection in the law firm world has led to a major epiphany: get away from the law firm set and the 80% of jerks within it. Took this pic one day at the courthouse and it sums up what many people, including some lawyers, think of the legal industry itself (including the experience of going to court).

Lots of life updates and unexpected events. I took this pic at a casino in Atlantic City when I was on a top deck. It feels like my life is the ocean and I'm looking at it from this vantage.

I've been super busy lately and definitely trying to focus on gratitude, what I do have and so forth. This is a pic of one side of my vision board. By the way, they DO work.

Getting flowers from an undesirable source, celebrating your friend's birthday and why you don't give mixed signals to people. These are the flowers I mention. Also, the bell ringing is my cat's collar.

The changing perceptions of being on public assistance & some of what that experience is like. This pic is of a damaged car I saw in the neighborhood I lived in when I was married. It feels like a fitting metaphor for this episode.

I saw this question in a group I'm part of and had to really think of an answer but I figured it out. This is a random stock pic but it feels accurate to my state and what the future holds.
