It took four I-need-a-journey-to-find-myself books and a self-realization (I’m sensitive and I’d like to stay that way) to start accepting me for all that I am — full of neurotic tendencies and all. If you aren’t hip to the jive of what I-need-a-journey-to-find-myself books are then let me explain. There is some event, if you will [...]
I always tried to be honest on my blog. Like some greater blog god was going to judge me and strike me down with spam for not being brutally honest. I won’t lie there were times when I’m like this story would be so much better if I didn’t have to admit that I was [...]
My apologizes to my friends on the east coast. I know you have #snOMG and #snowscrewed and all so don’t judge me when I complain about the rain. It really is nothing personal. I know you have the day after tomorrow outside your door tonight and all, and have been enjoying the miracles of empty [...]
Nothing like becoming an adult than watching those around you become victims of the economy while you’re still struggling to regain your own sense of working self. A year ago we all imagined that now we’d be in a place populated with jobs, money, and options. Ok.Slight fabrication. We knew that the world changed. The [...]
Cheers to the end of 2009. I don’t know about you, but that year –2009– not in my top ten for the decade or the prior 28 for that matter. I won’t begin to contemplate the future years. Woo. There’s one thing 2009 taught me, kids. Don’t be too hung-up on the future because trust [...]

Remember your first puppy love? Whether you were a freshman in high school, college, or you were an even later bloomer, that first insanely intense crush has the ability to make you feel like you’re flying, falling, and floating all at the same time. Typically, the next step in puppy love involves your heart being [...]
I’m totally ashamed to admit this, but one of my favorite movies to watch over and over and over again is Something New, starring Sanaa Lathan and Simon Baker. You see, I’m the kind of guy who typically likes horror movies. Intense ones. I love films with severe decapitations of Dario Argento proportions. Lucio Fulci’s [...]
My Mom wears a particular pendant. It’s more of a medal and badge of honor, really. It reads, “Miss Popularity, 1959.” A) How ridiculous is that to begin with? B) There’s so much more to the story… I always assumed that Mom was Miss Popularity in 1959 because she was the owner of the aforementioned [...]
