The Vortex

In this great big universe, in this great big world, in this great big life, the people you meet and the adventures you lead must be noted.  What are the odds?  You have to believe in fate, even if it’s in the most miniscule way.  If not fate, then you have to admit there's something...

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...

Dream Believer

"We must accept finite disappointment but never lose infinite hope" -Martin Luther King I've had a very inspirational week.  I suppose this should come at no surprise being that we started it off celebrating one of the most prolific and poetic men in our country's history.  We could all use a little Martin Luther King in...

Powerade

Call me ambitious, call me competitive.  Some of my favorite moments in life revolve around sports.  There's nothing quite like the glory that comes with a Grand Slam or a photo finish.  I can still remember standing in a bar in Chicago watching Michael Phelps win the 100 m butterfly in Beijing by one one-hundredth...
