Everybody cheats. I’m not talking Watergate or even Deflategate proportions here, I’m talking about the little fudging we all seem to do from time to time. Things such as not…

Lately I’ve noticed there are a lot of people out there in shitty relationships. Okay, not lately, I”ve always noticed this. Specifically, why do people get into relationships where their…

I hate that Guns N Roses pops into my head when I think of the word patience. The word whiny also comes to mind right now. I need patience to…
Blurry is the line between ego and self-respect. Worse than the fog outside my window this morning. So what prompted me to write about this existential face-off of good vs.…
Serious fucking question. Besides a select, and I mean very select few, I can’t think of many. Patterns, history, do me wrong once shame on you and all that jazz. …

Not sure what to write about. Hopeless Tomatoes has risen to one of my all time favorite things I’ve ever written so kinda hard to top that.
I could write about the Ester Hicks quotes I’ve been reading lately about vibrations and energy. Yeah, deep, existential shit but I’m deep and existential I guess. I had a good conversation with a co-worker about that kinda stuff on Sunday. I have nothing else at the moment so maybe I should expand on that.
It’s recently been brought to my attention that I'm a hopeless romantic. Shocking right? Why do they call it hopeless? Less hope? Or even lesser than less, none? No hope…

Us East Coast peeps know. Wawa. It’s practically a religion. It’s the Garden of Eden of convenience stores. 7-Eleven - nah. Starbucks - too intimidating. What the hell does venti…
Who can I talk to? As much as I like being alone, times like now I just want to talk to someone. Not sure who or about what. Someone or…
Do you know the term for when an alligator violently spins his victim into a certain watery, inescapable death? It’s called the death roll. Pretty much describes my state of…
A friend of mine has inspired me to write this. This friend I've known for quite a while, many years in fact. We may not be the text ten times…
