$3 Mojitos for All

Last week I went with a friend to TGI Friday's. Our intention was to sit on the balcony overlooking the Parkway, but it wasn't open due to a light drizzle. Nevertheless, the food would still be hot and the drinks cold, so we got a table inside. As my friend and I discussed the food [...]

Uber Saves the Day

You may or may not be wondering where I've been. Well, I've been on the go, many thanks to Uber's recent rollout of wheelchair accessible vehicles in Philly. Uber's timing was actually perfect. My van was totaled in a hit-and-run two weeks ago. It was an unfortunate event, but thankfully no one was injured, at [...]

Why Oklahoma City and Durant Blew Game 7

OKC blew it last night, big time. After going up in a best-of-7 games series three games to one, OKC collapsed, big time. Now I'm no Charles Barkley or Shaq so my commentary is admittedly amateur at best, but I've got my own theory about why OKC shit their pants on the main stage: KD [...]

Simon Illa: Adversity in The Music Business

Being a 3' 1" tall guy in a wheelchair definitely has its advantages in the music business.  I never blended into the crowd of countless up and coming music producers.  It was advantageous in garnering attention when bringing down the house in a beat listening seminar on South Beach in Miami, signing with Timbaland, being [...]

Simon Illa: Overcoming Doubt and Adversity

My childhood may not be like the average experienced by most individuals born with Osteogenesis Imperfecta.  I was raised by a grandmother who allowed me to find my own physical limits.  She raised me on the principle that while I was physically different from most people, I should never view myself as such.  Because I [...]

Simon Illa Autobiography

This is a congratulatory post for my friend and mentor, Simon Illa. He recently completed his autobiography, and he didn't just give us the cliff notes. After dedicating himself to writing 2,500 words per week during most of 2015, he finished off his book with 110,000 words! If you'd like to read an excerpt from [...]

Jovan Booker: A True Story of Defying the Odds

Yesterday a friend of mine pointed this video out to me on Facebook featuring his friend, an amputee who's inspiring so many through his love for the game of basketball. However, this video isn't just about an amputee's hoop dreams. Throughout his life he's overcome so much aside from the physical hardship of losing a [...]

Conor McCafferty: Paratransit?! More Like ParaSTRANDED!

I would describe myself as a very straight-laced, by the book person. I read and follow instructions. I don’t cross on red lights. I wait for the dry cycle to finish before taking my cloths out. I brush my teeth for exactly two minutes each morning… Well, I assume it’s two minutes anyway. I brush [...]

I Couldn’t Care Less About Kylie Jenner

The other day I was on my way to work when I passed a newsstand that had Interview magazine displayed on the shelf. I saw Kylie 's picture in the wheelchair, raised an eyebrow and took my ass to work.  Barely two days later as I was browsing my Facebook newsfeed I stumbled upon not [...]
