Beware the PakRest - Just Being Funny

I’m not a picky eater. Since I spent most of my growing years eating healthy food, I feel like it’s my adult right to eat whatever I want – at least before I have kids and need to be a role model or whatever. However, it’s not that time. This is my time to wild out and eat whatever I want. What I want is a basic burger, fries, and ice cream combo. All day. Every day. Maybe switch it up with a doughnut or two. Sometimes my friends convince me to try new things. I occasionally indulge them. Usually, my fears of dishes being too spicy or gagging on mud result in enjoyable experiences.  We decided to check the Pakistani restaurant off the food bucket list. This was the real deal.

Oh-ni-ni! What's my name?! Oh-ni-ni! What's my name?! Spring. Summer. Whatever you call this beautiful, but brief season is when the Chicago sun comes out to bless a bish is finally here. June is also Caribbean American Heritage Month. At the year's midpoint, I am feeling myself. Why? Firstly, my mommy is still alive and will be celebrating another birthday , God spare life. Actually, lots of awesome people celebrate their bday in June. Secondly, we finally have a shooting date for  Pre-Existing,   a web series project I've been working on. Yup, don't talk about it, be about it! My lovely friend, Lissette Hal l hooked me up with David Audio .  This web series anthology, which is set in a doctor's waiting room, features stories by 14 Chicago screenwriters. My episode, which will be shot on June 15, is called Aluminum Coverage . I'm excited to reunite with Greg Callozzo ( Oh Baby! ) as well as collaborate with funny women in comedy Sandy Lee and  Son

How did you build your website? - Hey Onicia

What did you use to build your website? This awesome question came to me hot at 8:30 am. Nonetheless let me answer your questions. Congrats! You’re choosing to build a website in this decade vs. say, the 90s when you actually had to know how to code like a gawd . Hey Onicia is a series where I tap into my type-A side and answer questions from my friends about this starving artist life. If you find this helpful, share with your twitter homies or thank me with ice cream . Want to chat or collaborate? Holla at me! Heads up: This post is different to other “how to start a blog/website” articles because I’m not about pushing expensive super-pro solutions just so I can earn a commission. Yes, making money requires spending money. However, your first time doing anything will be trial and error. Don’t go breaking bank without fully testing if this new online venture is for you. I built my website (www.oniciamuller.com)  with Weebly. Psst, use my affiliate link for
