Wayne Brady Opens Up About His Depression: 'I Had a Complete Breakdown'

Depression isn't a dirty word folks.  And it's nothing to be ashamed of.  It makes my heart joyful to see more and more celebrities stepping up and talking about their personal battles with this dis-ease.  

I'm a big fan of Mr. Brady.  And my respect and admiration has deepened now that he has come out and made his battles public.   Read below.

*~*~*~*~*~*

Though we all know Wayne Brady as the upbeat comedian-turned-TV star of shows like "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" and "Let's Make a Deal," the 42-year-old Emmy-award winner is now opening up to ET's Nischelle Turner about his debilitating depression.

Brady admits he has secretly battled with depression for years and describes the harrowing emotions he's experienced. "People are like, 'Wayne Brady's always happy!'" he says. "No I'm not. Because I'm human."

"Having a bad day is one thing, having a bad week is another, having a bad life … You don't want to move, you can't move in the darkness," he explains. "You're like, 'I am just going to sit right here and I want to wallow in this. As much as it hurts, I am going to sit right here because this is what I deserve. This is what I deserve, so I am going to sit here because I am that horrible of a person.'"

The constant self-doubt turned into a vicious cycle.

Ben Stein Thinks Obama Is “the Most Racist President” in American History

And I couldn't agree more with Mr. Stein!

What the White House is trying to do is racialize all politics and they’re especially trying to tell the African-American voter that the G.O.P. is against letting them have a chance at a good life in this economy, and that’s just a complete lie . . . I watch with fascination—with incredible fascination—all the stories about how the Democratic politicians, especially Hillary, are trying to whip up the African-American vote and say, “Oh, the Republicans have policies against black people in terms of the economy.” But there are no such policies. . . .

It’s all a way to racialize voting in this country . . . This president is the most racist president there has ever been in America. He is purposely trying to use race to divide Americans. [italics added]

Get Out and Vote!

I shutter each and every time I hear someone say..."your vote doesn't even make a difference."

I'm sure these are the same exact people who hung on Mark Twain's every word.  

“If voting made any difference they wouldn't let us do it.” ~ Mark Twain.

Too many people took what Mr. Twain said in this regard as literal and not humorous as it was intended.  Allthough, I'm pretty sure Mr. Twain knew there would be people that would take it in the literal sense.  No doubt his way of keeping the power of the vote out of the hands of the truly ignorant.

But the fact remains.  Your vote does make the difference!

And in many ways...has.


Now think about it for a minute.


The power of the vote was granted to women, and later black people, through the voting process

Yea, forgot about that!  Didn't you?    And here you thought voting didn't make a difference!

There were many other ground breaking things that occurred through the vote.  Can you name any?

The point being folks...and I reiterate...your vote does make a difference.  

So on Tuesday, November 4th, get your butts out there and make a difference!  

Turn Your Clocks Back TONIGHT!

Don't forget to set your clocks back One Hour tonight!

Yea, it's that time again!  

So remember...before you lay yourself down to go to sleep...

Turn Back Those Hands Of Time!

Invasion of the Data Snatchers

While you’re putting on your costume and getting ready for trick-or-treaters, imagine creatures spookier than any you will see tonight… new devices and technologies that are tracking your every move!

A world without privacy? It’scloser than you think.

Data snatchers?? They are NOT science fiction. And they’re closer than you think.

New technologies are making it easier for private companies and the government to learn about everything we do - in our homes, in our cars, in stores, and within our communities. As they collect vast amounts of data about us, things are getting truly spooky!

Isn't it time we regained control over our personal information?

New technologies  make it easier for private corporations and the government to access vast amounts of data about us. And the Internet of computers and phones is turning into the “Internet of Things.” Unless we take action, it can grow into a web of horrors.

Dia de los Muertos

Dia de los Muertos—the Day of the Dead—is a holiday celebrated on November 1. Although marked throughout Latin America, Dia de los Muertos is most strongly associated with Mexico, where the tradition originated.

Dia de los Muertos honors the dead with festivals and lively celebrations, a typically Latin American custom that combines indigenous Aztec ritual with Catholicism, brought to the region by Spanish conquistadores. (Dia de los Muertos is celebrated on All Saints Day and All Souls Day, minor holidays in the Catholic calendar.) 

Assured that the dead would be insulted by mourning or sadness, Dia de los Muertos celebrates the lives of the deceased with food, drink, parties, and activities the dead enjoyed in life. Dia de los Muertos recognizes death as a natural part of the human experience, a continuum with birth, childhood, and growing up to become a contributing member of the community. On Dia de los Muertos, the dead are also a part of the community, awakened from their eternal sleep to share celebrations with their loved ones.  [emphasis added]

The most familiar symbol of Dia de los Muertos may be the calacas and calaveras(skeletons and skulls), which appear everywhere during the holiday: in candied sweets, as parade masks, as dolls. Calacas and calaveras are almost always portrayed as enjoying life, often in fancy clothes and entertaining situations.

October 29th is National Cat Day!

Let's paws for a moment and take in 13 reasons you love to hate your darling feline.


1. You can buy all the scratching posts in the pet store but your cat won't necessarily use it as its nail filer of choice. Box springs, rugs, fabric furniture all serve as things for them to nail.

2. Your cat knows when you are feeling under the weather and will stay by your side throughout the duration of a cold, flu or bad breakup.

3. Cats are territorial. They may frighten your friends. They may hiss at the pizza delivery person. They may take a swat at the dog of the house.

4. They purr when you pet them and it makes you feel needed, wanted, loved. Ah, contentment.
