The older I get, I find myself becoming more and more opposed to change. Is this an age thing? A mentality thing? A combo? Our lives are bubbles and we live happily inside of them fearing anything that might pop our closed-off shelter of a cocoon. I actually have a shred of empathy for old... Continue Reading →
The Club
There are moments in time that you will never forget. The older you get, your life becomes a flipbook of highlights. Certain memories stand out while others have faded away into an area our brains can no longer access...which is where most of my college memories have gone. It actually makes me crazy that I've...

Tic-Toc
It's almost 2017. Another ball will drop, champagne sales will skyrocket, and then gyms will be at maximum capacity. Have fun waiting for your typically available treadmill. This will be the last post of the year and as I look back, I'm a bit thrown by it all. A lot has happened. I think it... Continue Reading →
Crazy in Love
It's my day off and while I'd love to tell you I'm drinking a mimosa while staring whimsically off into the sunset over the Pacific, I am currently smashed in between two pantsuits in the civil hallway of a Los Angeles Courthouse. To my left is a woman who looks slightly older than myself, writing... Continue Reading →
’tis the season
The holidays are upon us! It might even be said I'm a little late to the game. I went to The Grove, an outdoor shopping center, in early October and with every step I thought - no, it can't be. Yet sure enough, the whole place looked like what Joy to the World sounds like:... Continue Reading →
Superstar
We see them on red carpets, on the big screens, and through the television in our own homes. We buy magazines because their face is on it, books because they wrote them, and products because they endorsed them. They made it. They can officially claim the term celebrity. And while I feel a bit of... Continue Reading →
Weirdo
I was for sure the girl dressed as batman in a world of princesses. In the first grade, I used to sit in class bored cutting my own hair off. My teacher was thrilled. While most girls were into pastels and dancing, I was too busy sprinting past all the boys and adding to my... Continue Reading →
Amazing Grace
Somehow, Americans-and by Americans, I mean European originating people who took over a land mass already inhabited by natives, turned stealing into a holiday called Thanksgiving. We all sit at tables covered in the usual suspects to commemorate the day our ancestors decided to screw over the Indians and make a bunch of false promises. Please... Continue Reading →
Wtf
I hate to be the reality grinch, but sometimes life just isn't going to make sense. I'm sure you've figured that out by now, but in case you're still living in a glass menagerie, I want to be sure that you're fully aware that life does not come with instructions and sometimes it's an Ikea...

Bring me that Horizon
I thought long and hard about what to focus on this week. And then I thought about it some more. And then I wrote a bunch of stuff I hated. And then I reread all of the things I didn't like thinking 'it couldn't have been THAT bad'. It was. Like garbage carcass crumbles bad. And... Continue Reading →
