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 →

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 →
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 →
You’re Really Not Missing Anything
The other day, while aimlessly checking my FaceBook, Instagram, Twitter, and [insert social media app of the moment here], I had an epiphany. Or something like one. More like a kick in the shins. I didn't really care what anyone was doing or posting (not in a negative way, because I do care about my... Continue Reading →
Here Comes the Sun
It's so easy to a bitter, sour person when things don't go your way. Maybe you didn't get that promotion you wanted, or they left you out of the equation yet again. Maybe your archenemy just drove by in the car you wanted, or purchased the house you thought you'd be able to buy. Unfortunately, bitterness won't improve... Continue Reading →
