#NerdsUnited: I got married during a global pandemic at the @TreasuryOnThePlaza
In this story, there will be a marriage, two (more) deaths, MIA wedding attendants, MIA parents, a botched bachelorette party, a global pandemic, and a boisterous battle cry for tits and ass.
It’s an honest tale of the reality of weddings - and the SHEER PERSEVERANCE of life in 2020.
#NerdsUnited: I got engaged during the apocalypse!
Speaking of doing something I haven't tried before, this post is going to be written not just from my perspective, but from my fiancee's as well.
Have you noticed I can't stop using that word ...
#Question: What is the most effective way to "get over" a murder investigation? Answer: A global pandemic
Losing my best friend in a fur coat was devastating. Having my best friend lose his best friend three weeks later was gut wrenching. Coming home from her celebration of life and walking DIRECTLY INTO a murder investigation AND THE PERSON MURDERED WAS YOUR GOOD FRIEND - what else can you do except completely check out.
#TrueStory: I was interviewed in a murder investigation (and cried in front of Katie Couric and Will.I.Am telling them about it) PT 3
Unfortunately, (or fortunately) the detectives wheeled his body out in the middle of the night so I didn't get to see that. Desperate for some sort of something to understand the next day, I went upstairs and saw the results of the CSI agents.

Fifteen minutes or so went by before I heard a helicopter. I then looked outside and saw the police officer's car, and some sort of a news crew. Combined with the helicopter I knew that I could potentially be in danger - so I reluctantly opened the door as I grabbed my phone preparing to leave in a moment's notice if necessary.

It's easy for me to be angry at everything right now. It's easy for me to withdraw. It's easy for me to cry myself to sleep. What wasn't easy was PUBLICLY crying (particularly in front of someone I consider adjacent to "idol" territory).
#ThatAwkwardMoment: When the girl who has a TV show based on her life goes out with a guy who has a movie based on his
"Have you seen [insert movie title here]?"
Oh shit, I thought, he's not actually kidding knowing that the movie he mentioned was actually based on a true story.
#RealDeal: That time I cold called the man that bought my life rights, trademarks, and intellectual property (PT. 2)
It took two phone calls, one friend request, and two Facebook messages to see this incoming call on May 7th - (22 hours after the last Facebook message read "Hey there: I got your messages. I'm just back in the office this week and will call you.")

Remember, when the Talk Nerdy To Me announcement came around the first time - I was living on an island. I had walked away from everything choosing love (which was all I was after in the first place). That love unfortunately (or fortunately) did not last, and as I was standing in my new apartment's kitchen on June 30th, 2014, I got an email from my agents (who I had not talked to in over a year) asking if my blog was for sale.
#FyreFestival: Did I mention I know one of the founders & I'm now featured on their website?
So, now I not only have my own page, but I am currently sandwiched in between Metta World Peace and DMX under featured talent on the home page. That’s honestly a sentence I never thought I would say.
