Random rantings of the misfit kind.
What's your vision for 2015 and beyond? A friend of mine purchased a book for another friend, entitled, "One Word That Will Change Your Life", and, while I haven't read it (I plan to!), the idea is a novel one. What better way to keep yourself and your goals in sight than to give yourself... Continue Reading →
Yeah, yeah, another post about being single. But this is a serious one. Soooo serious. You never realize how many things you take for granted when you're a part of a couple, especially when it's all you've known for ten or more years. Obviously, when you get that far, you just assume that it's going to... Continue Reading →
Every once in a while, we find ourselves lost, confused...feeling out of place. We look in the mirror, and all we feel is disdain and displeasure with the image reflected back at us. We feel insecure, unloved, depressed - every negative emotion and feeling available. And some days, it's seemingly impossible. We'll never find true... Continue Reading →
Every once in a while, we meet someone who seems to speak to our soul - perhaps even sing to it. And we try so hard to make that person fit into the vision of our future, ignoring the red flags, the doubts, the things we considered deal-breakers with others. For some reason, something in...

Dating, in this day in age, is difficult (as I've said in other posts, I'm sure, of which I'm also sure you're sick of hearing, but eh). Throw some kids in the mix, and you're just asking to be single until those little ones go off to college. Child-less people feel weird entertaining others with children,... Continue Reading →
I really hate the term "cuffing season", just as much as I hate what it stands for. To me, it just illustrates how shallow and self-centered our generation can be, how pathetic we can appear, and how anti-social we actually are in this "social"-media heavy society we live in. We spend seven to nine months out of... Continue Reading →
One of the hardest things in life, for most of us, is letting go. Whether it be a person, a habit, an item, a feeling - most times, we go through a great deal of stress when it comes to releasing it. Humans are, inherently, creatures of habit. We take comfort in familiarity, in repetition.... Continue Reading →
Yup, it's another post about dating. Kind of. I guess it's more so about relationships, situationships, buddies, whatever. And apparently, I have a very steep learning curve. Many of you probably remember the late 90s movie, Love Jones (one of my favs!). In the movie, Nina and Darius meet each other at a nightclub (which,... Continue Reading →
A good friend and I were having a very intense conversation late one night (much like the majority of our nightly convos), and this one was about careers and life goals. I was complaining about the lack of creativity in my corporate role, while he was proclaiming his anticipation of finally being able to do what... Continue Reading →
Losing "couple" status is quite an interesting experience. In my new-found singledom, I've been finding out some things about myself, about the people interact with, and just life in general. I've been focused on rebuilding my public persona - well, maybe rebuilding isn't the appropriate word, we'll use "redefining" - and I have started to... Continue Reading →
