About Me

Welcome to Review Yo' Ass. I have taken the title from the Parks and Rec phrase “Treat Yo' Self”, and I am Treating Myself by Reviewing Yo' Ass. Simply put, it has been a worrying time seeing America re-elect a clown (I am trying to be charitable here) and his cabal, especially with the impact on women. In times of worry it is recommended to journal thoughts to get them out, or to write letters to people that are annoying you and never send them. So, with a Myles Barlow-esque nod this is my way of dealing with my angst at the state of America right now: by Reviewing Yo' Ass and posting it here. Reviews are out of 5 stars.

Mind over matter.

I had guests staying, and they wanted to go to a cafe they had read about. I'd been there before and it is excellent. And because of its excellence, it always has a line out the door. But it is actually worth the wait in line. Some places it's just hype or a write up that gets a line; this place has a line for a reason. So we're in the line, and there's a family of 5 in front of us. Dad, mom, 3 children. The children complaining loudly about the line and the wait, mom complaining and scrolling her phone looking for other places to eat. Then dad turns to his family and says "let's all be mindful of this moment and enjoy the experience of the line". Enjoy the experience of the line? Just step aside and listen to yourself. 

Being mindful about how much of an idiot you sound to others: 2 stars.
