The last few months I have been stalling to make change. I found myself in the metaphorical ditch I stumble in from time to time – feeling a bit downtrodden and stagnant, stuck in a rut but totally okay with it. You see, I greet the rut – I shake hands and become well acquainted […]
I’m sitting here with a celebratory glass of whiskey like I deserve it for the sole attainment of the minute task of feeling inspired to sit down and write. If you’re not a writer you probably don’t understand writer’s block, and how it builds up inside of you as you hold a million words and […]
There’s a cute girl who works for UPS that comes by my office almost everyday. She makes my gaydar ping so last week I decided to be bold and finally say something to her. What suave statement did I make to get her attention? Did I tell her the color brown suited her? That it […]
I could be what some people would call a “odd duck,” or “strange ranger.” The Urban Dictionary defines the latter as someone who marches to the tune of their own sequin-clad, boot-wearing, star-wars-lovin’ drummer (The accuracy there is on point for me). I have a unique sense of humor and a reputation for being the person that will always […]
Pressure. Stress. Anxiety. Worry. Woe. No matter what you call it we can all agree on the common variable that the aforementioned is not enjoyable, nor is it something we like to experience. However, it inevitably happens – and we can’t always control the triggers that bring it to be the bull in the china shop of our […]
I’m going to admit that I’m feeling vulnerable right now – I’m feeling very vulnerable and I’m going to share about feeling vulnerable because I know other people feel this way and that they don’t talk about it. For some reason, unless they witness me in one of my lesser fine moments, many people have a […]
I have been absent from my blog as of late, trying to handle that all too familiar creative block – the one where I have about fourteen drafts in my queue, where I come home from work with the full intention of my night being devoted only to that of writing, and somehow – I […]
I live in a world of contradiction. Take today for instance; I was really throwing myself a party because I had made the adult decision to actually fill my gas tank. Like full. I kind of hate the act of getting gas; I don’t know what it is. The standing? The waiting? I just feel […]
I think I have a really skewed view of what it means to “feel like an adult.” Most of my friends who consider themselves “adults” do things like buy houses or get married but fortunately for the sake of this blog’s existence – that’s not been my experience. Yes, instead of settling down, I chose […]
This isn’t the first time I’ve devoted an entire blog entry to the topic at large, and I’m sure as shit it won’t be the last. The people in my life seem to like me and as a result I am constantly showered with the sentiment of; “But you’re so great! I don’t understand why […]
