It was a dark and stormy night. Actually, it really wasn’t stormy. The weather was perfect. The stormy part is just for effect. Just go with it. Umm, so, it was a dark and stormy night. I was minding my own business as I headed to my car after class. It was then that it [...]

A Few Things To Know When You’re Single
When I turned twelve plus three plus ten plus five the other week, I took myself to Atlantic City. In my opinion, you don’t just turn twelve plus three plus ten plus five without doing something big to celebrate that milestone. You don’t just go to work or school as if it’s just another day [...]

So, I’m sitting in a Starbucks, behind a young female who is wearing a “Big Peckers” t-shirt with the photo of a rooster with a huge beak and he’s winking at me. Ironically, this is the most interest I’ve been shown all year. At my own table, I’ve decided to try something new by ordering [...]

Ok, so, I’m not typically one to complain. Really. I don’t do it…unless it’s absolutely necessary. I like to take life in stride, turn lemons into a martini, and challenge bad days with a good attitude. However, I think it’s totally ok to make “observations” about life in general.

As I embark on my last few weeks of being in my 20s, I’m beginning to ponder how well I’ll transition into my new status as a senior citizen. Of course, I’m looking forward to the discounted coffees and being offered a seat on a crowded bus because I’ll be elderly, but what about all [...]

As some of you may know, in about two weeks I’ll be starting my last semester of undergrad. Allegedly, in December I’ll be getting some form of degree in English after approximately 40 years of pop quizzes, presentations, and final exams. All of the laughter and tears—mostly tears—have led up to this finale. It’s like [...]

Some people are born with common sense. Other people are just born. I’d like to think that I have a good head on my shoulders and that I have the ability to reason and use good judgment. As a matter of fact, my shrink always agrees with my logic. It’s like I talk and he/she/it [...]

Ten years ago I purchased a bed. Last week, I put it together. Wait, before you start judging, let me explain. At 19, one really doesn’t get the whole logic and theory behind the need to connect the headboard to the bed frame. At 29, however, something just kicks in and makes you want to [...]

Today I’m going to try something different. Usually, I try to keep my writings humorous. However, with the recent deaths of well-known individuals such as Michael Jackson, Steve McNair, Farrah Fawcett, and the Oxy Clean guy, reality doesn’t always seem so funny. But in addition to the deaths of celebrities with whom we’ve never shared [...]
