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 →
What the Cuff…
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 →
“The Art of Letting Go”
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 →
“Love Jones…I’ve Got a Love Jones…”
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 →
You’re Not Hungry Enough
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 →
And Then, There Was One
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 →
Lunch or Dinner? Or, Why Dating Today Sucks
When's the last time you went on an actual date? Like, one where someone asked you out, on a specific day, at a specific time, in which you actually had to get prepared and dress up for it? And maybe they picked you up, or you picked them up, and you both had a nice... Continue Reading →
When Life Gives You Seeded Watermelon…
...just spit the seeds out and keep it moving. Man, it's been a minute for a new post, and for good reason. So many transitions in my life right now, I can barely keep up. I've been up, I've been down, turned practically inside out like Penny from Pee-Wee's Playhouse (I couldn't find the inside... Continue Reading →
Fallin’ For Yo…Me
It's okay to be alone with yourself. That's what I've been telling myself for the past five days. It's human nature to want to be around people, connect with other souls (no matter how much you may tell yourself that you'd rather be alone). We crave conversation, shared experiences, love, companionship, all those good things.... Continue Reading →
Life and Modern Crimes
So, modern technology sucks. Today, at approximately 12:15 EST, the Starbucks card computer system was compromised. How do I know? Because the thieves quickly and efficiently wiped out my bank account. This comes just a few months after the Target compromise, and it just makes me rethink the convenience of modern "convenience". We sing praises... Continue Reading →
