Race Relations in the Race to the Altar

Friday, February 12th, 2010

I haven’t posted in a week. I’ve been stewing over something that I’m not exactly sure how to appropriately articulate, and lo and behold it has to do with another one of my friends.
There we sat, discussing a friend of a friend and the outlandish lengths she’s gone to in order to meet “someone,” expanding [...]

Plight of The Dookie

Friday, February 5th, 2010

I don’t like buying toilet paper. It’s necessary, yes. But it’s also expensive and stupid and it’s such a waste. Also, I think it’s embarrassing.
I once saw this girl on the sidewalk, walking all purposeful, with her arms wrapped around an ungainly pack of toilet paper. I was with my boyfriend and we were having [...]

We Wish You A Merry Ex-mas

Sunday, December 27th, 2009

What is it about the holidays that makes people who haven’t felt the need to say “hi” or “I’m sorry” or “I miss you” throughout the other 11 months of the year come out of the woodwork?
This Christmas especially seemed to be strewn with ex-boyfriends/ ex-somebodies. It was almost as though they felt a need [...]

Toolbag Wednesday #25: Tiger and His Menagerie of Mistresses

Wednesday, December 9th, 2009

Not to be a jerk or anything, but let’s have a little chat about the whole Tiger Woods thing, shall we?

I should preface what I’m about to say with a ”cheating is never okay, nor EVER justified” disclaimer. That said, can any of us really be that surprised that he cheated? People cheat all of the time- [...]
