Ever wanted to take an IQ test? Find out who's your inner rock star? Discover whether you're as great a date as you think you are? Do you need a makeover? Wanna find out which one of The Golden Girls do you most resemble? Or how you can simplify your life?

Check out Tickle.com. It calls itself the number-one destination for self discovery. It has a premium test section where, for a fee, you can take "PhD certified" tests. Whatever that means. But for free, there are all sorts of tests to take that, while they aren't much more than Cosmo-caliber quizzes, aren't a bad way to waste a few minutes and get an occasional laugh.

OK. I acknowledge that if you really want to simplify your life, you could stop reading silly blogs.

But then you wouldn't know that the Golden Girl I'm most like is (ugh) Dorothy (ughughBea Arthur), that my bar personality is "friendly regular" (insert Cheers theme song here), and that my inner rock star is Sade (who?).

So, I Changed My Mind

Toss your woes into this dumpster fire we call 2019.  I appreciate my previous sentiment, that I was no longer wandering. But let's be honest, we're all trying to find our way through this mess. I decided to reboot the blog to give myself a creative outlet, a way to sort through the confusion and frustration and attempt to make sense of it all. I have a voice, and I'm not keen to silence it anymore. Guess what? I'm back, bitches.

In memoriam...

I remember the first time I heard the name "Les Anderson." A bunch of Wichita State University communication majors were sitting around on campus, talking about classes they planned to take. Several people warned me: watch out for Les Anderson. He was tough. He had a murderous grading scale. It was nearly impossible to get an A. They weren't kidding. But he wasn't tough just to be a tyrant. From his teaching sprang a fleet of incredible, successful journalists, writers, editors, broadcasters, public relations experts, advertisers, non-profit professionals...I could go on and on. Most importantly, he created a legion of people who wanted to make a difference in the world. The greatest gift Les gave to them all? He believed in them, cared about them for their own personal stories as well as the stories they told for class assignments or in the pages of his hometown newspaper. Les was my teacher. My boss. My mentor. My conscience. My champion. My friend. When I started c...
