The Rundown

I fell yesterday.  Like a sad middle-aged lady all alone walking without an umbrella in the rain, I went down.  Hard.  It was a banana peel kind of fall.  I imagine it all happened in cartoon fashion.  Most people would probably get up real quick and be all embarrassed.  Nope.  Not this girl.  I just...

Microscopic

Each of us is bestowed with a gift.  We all have areas in our lives we excel in more than others.  If I had a superpower it would be observation.  As far as X-Men go, consider myself and Marvel gravely disappointed.  I notice things - whoopity doo, right?  Not exactly a box office hit.  It...

Since you’ve been gone

I spent most of last year dealing with a breakup.  Saying that out loud is equal parts embarrassing and relieving.  Embarrassing because it's like making plans with a friend a few months in advance and all of a sudden that person is like "I don't want to do THAT!  I mean I do, but not...

Until we meet Again

Well my friends, it's been a rough week.  The Olympics are over and now I'm dead and nothing has meaning anymore.  It was a quick 2 week affair that traveled the entire scale of emotion.  It was passionate and intense - late nights and little sleep.   We both knew there was an expiration date but...

Fickle Feelings

In a world where everyone's attention spans are shrinking by the second, it's hard to imagine how things last anymore.  Sometimes I get bored in the middle of my own sentences.  I mean I think about some of the trends I participated in with such blatant ignorance growing up and I'm ashamed of myself.  In...

My Man

"What's your type?"  I get asked this all the time.  Unfortunately for me, Jason Momoa is taken and build-a-man doesn't exist yet.  It's usually asked after a very predictable lineup of comments and questions genuinely baffled at the fact that "someone like me" is single...whatever that means.  Then comes the part where they go through...

new year, same me

My attempt at a dry January ended this week and while some of you may look at that as a failure, I'm actually quite impressed with myself.  Let's be honest, this is the longest I've gone without drinking since Dawson's Creek was on the air.  This was a pretty big deal for me considering the...

Collision

Minus the times my brothers were active in the military my family has always been together for Christmas.  It's my favorite time of year.  These are my people, my tribe, my kin.  Who else is going to finish my mom's tequila and facetime every single person in my phone?  It's truly the best...for about 4...

Distractionz

I'm going to be one hundred with you.  I woke up this morning and not a single word was written for this week.  This is not typically my M.O.  I wish I could tell you I've been busy spending my nights as a vigilante, trying to make this world a better place, but I'm afraid... Continue Reading →

Naughty or Nice

I'm not exactly sure how we got here but every December we convince children across the world that there is a dude, most likely a diabetic, with a closet full of red and white pants suits who knows when you're awake.  It's the only story where a strange old man with a beard in costume...
