    I’m always asking questions. The fun begins when you start researching for answers. Such as…

    What’s better, having a last will or creating a trust? Plus…has the American workplace come under attack from uncaring leaders?

    I’m Arroe… I am a daily writer. A silent wolf. I stand on the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen study then activate.
    I call it The Daily Mess. A chronological walk through an everyday world.
    Yes, it’s my morning writing. As a receiver of thoughts and ideas, we as people tend to throw it to the side and deal with it later.

    It Was NBC That Said It's Time To Come Out Journalist Garrett Glaser Releases Fairyboy
    May 8 2025
    When Garrett Glaser came out as gay to his mother at age fourteen, she said, “You are going to a psychiatrist right now, young man! We are going to nip this in the bud.” Fortunately, she came around to accept her son’s orientation, and Garrett used his psychiatric sessions to address the challenges of finding a boyfriend.It was 1967, and Garrett was a tenth grader at the prestigious Dalton School in New York City. When he graduated, the headmaster was heard to say of Garrett and his friend, “We just graduated our first fags.” Such was the world before the Stonewall rebellion. It was a time before rainbow flags, when very few gay people were able to live honestly and openly.Garrett was an unusually adventurous and self-assured teenager. In FAIRYBOY, readers will follow as he explores the hidden world of gay New York, from the infamous “trucks” along the West Side Highway to the Continental Baths in its opening weeks.Garrett grew up to become an Emmy Award-winning TV news correspondent, with stints at CNBC, NBC, ABC, CBS and Entertainment Tonight. During his thirty-year career, he interviewed the biggest stars and notables of the era, from Elizabeth Taylor and President George H.W. Bush to Oprah Winfrey and even Charles Manson.In FAIRYBOY, Garrett muses on changes in gay politics over the decades and weaves stories demonstrating the importance of mentors—and of remaining true to oneself.

  • A True Artist Of Sound Lemoyne Alexander Sets Free The Album Alone Featuring The Song Insecurity

    A True Artist Of Sound Lemoyne Alexander Sets Free The Album Alone Featuring The Song Insecurity
    May 8 2025
    Grammy-nominated artist and producer Lemoyne Alexander has long been a force in the music world—earning accolades and platinum plaques for his work with hip hop legends like Aaliyah, DMX, Twista, Scarface, and R. Kelly. But today, Lemoyne is writing a bold new chapter in his musical journey—one that plants him firmly in the world of alternative rock.
    After decades of shaping the sound of Chicago’s hip hop scene and building a resume that includes film and TV credits (Oprah, Jenny Jones, The Doctors), Lemoyne found himself searching for something more. The result is a powerful transition into alternative rock—an unexpected turn that feels like a homecoming.
    His new album, Alone, draws heavily from '70s and '80s rock influences, blending nostalgic melodies with raw emotion and authenticity. It's a deeply personal project—crafted during a period of reflection following his divorce—and signals a creative rebirth for an artist who has never been afraid to evolve.
    The lead single, “Insecurity,” (Spotify, YouTube) is already making waves. With over 110k Spotify streams, 97k YouTube plays, and sitting at #1 on the internet radio charts, it’s a song that resonates deeply with listeners facing self-doubt and emotional vulnerability. Written from a place of honesty and experience, “Insecurity” is a powerful opener that sets the tone for the rest of the album.
    While his past work in hip hop cemented his place in music history, Lemoyne’s venture into alternative rock is proving he’s not done making history yet.
