Bittersweet

Friday, October 28th, 2011

Everyone always says that change is a good thing. That it’s inevitable. Happens whether we like it, whether we want it, or not. Change is an opportunity. Maybe. But what about when you force change? What about when you really want change to happen, so much so that you make it happen? What then? No [...]

Post-Romantic Stress Syndrome

Monday, October 17th, 2011

Amidst my own ongoing relationship drama, I recently found myself on the front lines of the dissolution of a marriage. I had been privy to much of what was happening first-hand, but even I was caught unaware by the tipping point that would launch the relationship into a full-fledged separation and inevitable divorce.

I am one of those people who, when things pretty much SUCK ASS in a million creative ways, will open up Google and direct the browser to…shoes. Oh, shoes!

Toolbag Wednesday #28: Crabby Ass Old People*

Wednesday, March 2nd, 2011

You know what? Enough is enough. I’ve been ageist before and I’m about to be again. Except this time, I’m going after all those Crabby Ass Old People. Fucking toolbags. Seriously. It’s been a morning and I’ve had it with their janky ass bullshit. I mean, if you’re just going to go around making everyone [...]
