I spend a lot of time on Facebook. I don’t quantify it because I don’t want to know how many hours I’ve lost there that I won’t get back but since I am NOT going to watch the next cycle of America’s Next Top Model this year (I’m not, I’m not, I’m not) technically that [...]

When I started this blog more than a year ago, I didn’t have any clear objectives on what I wanted to accomplish. Over time, Lao-Lao helped me understand that it was perfectly OK to have a blog that was “top-of-mind” because the people who know me will get it and the people who don’t will [...]

It’s worth taking a nap this afternoon so that I can be awake for Saturday Night Live which is likely to feature Kristin Witt/ Nancy Pelosi as a jack-in-the-box and someone mocking Bobby Jindal whose rebuttal speech has been summarily panned by members of his own party and contained out and out lies in his recount [...]

I sometimes think I’m the defender of weirdos having been one of the people who made a half-assed attempt at defending Octo-Mom. Ultimately, I don’t support her choices apart from to acknowledge that they are just that: her choices. But just so you know, I think she’s a total whack job. The story of Sandra [...]

I guess I’d been intentionally staying away from from politics over the last several post for several reasons, among them that they go against the grain of that which I’m trying to accomplish as a writer. But you, my faithful 15 readers must be sated. And so, while I’d mentally written a piece on When [...]

The Monday following the inauguration, I was standing in line at Starbucks with a work collegue, one of the few “friends” I’ve made at the new job when said that I knew I would fall in love this year. It was a statement completely out of context, based on nothing more than a gut feeling, fuled by [...]
