In memory of Naya, a.k.a. "The Best Dog in the World." July 30, 2001 - Sept 8, 2016 I know I'm overdue for a good post. But life has been fairly rough. Last week I had to make the hardest decision of my life and lay to rest my soul-mate. Naya was literally the best [...]

BLESSINGS…THOSE LITTLE THINGS THAT WE TAKE FOR GRANTED WHEN SHIT GETS ALL TWISTED
FIRST up -- I need to set the record straight. I've said this before, and trust me, I appreciate the reach, but just because I write about dating or being single or whatevs, doesn't mean that THAT is the focal point of my life. In fact, if I'm honest, it's a total of 2% of [...]
DEAR REAL-WORLD, CAN WE PULL A ROSS & RACHEL AND GO ON A BREAK?
Unfortunately, we do not live in a "Friends" episode, so the Ross and Rachel technique most likely won't work with reality. That, and reality is an asshole so it's likely he (yes, I'm genderizing it, and yes, I'm pretty sure I made that word up) won't compromise. Therefore, I wake up every day, feet to [...]
PAUSING FOR POSSIBLE TEMPORARY INSANITY…
I'm still around...Just been completely overwhelmed by life in general. I'll get my shit together soon enough. Too much hit me at once and I'm trying to sort out the aftermath...I'm still a bad ass -- just a slightly crazy one at the moment. I'm sure, in time, life will return to some sort of [...]
FINDING THE FUNNY IN ALL THE FUCKS I DON’T GIVE
I want a 2016 re-start. I have to say, since January, aside from maybe 3 or 4 great moments, there has literally been fuck-all going on in my life that I'm either (a) excited about or (b) hopeful for. I know, I know...look at all the good stuff I have, blah, blah, blah...I do. And [...]
GHOSTING IS THE NEW “IT’S ME, NOT YOU” BREAK…MINUS THE CAJONES
If you are dating, chances are you've been "ghosted" before. Or, as I like to call it, wasting-my mother-loving-precious-time-on-a-cowardly-douchebag-who-is-too-chicken-shit-to-keep-it-real. Or something like that. I switch up the words every now and then with a little more profanity. Anyway, such a relevant and interesting topic to me because, as some of you may have picked [...]
LET’S JUST BE HONEST…LET’S JUST BE REAL
I'm a full believer in being impeccable with one's word. If you've never read the Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz, I highly suggest it. The philosophies are applicable across all elements of life and I honestly think if everyone adopted them and put them into action, we'd have a significant decrease in douchebagism in [...]
I MEAN, I DO HAVE A DECENT ASS….
It's interesting how one day you're picking up pieces of heartache, then the next (well...not LITERALLY the next day) you're drowning it out with distractions. What? You wallow in your self-pity and emotional turmoil? Nah. Pull up your thong (cuz I don't do the granny panties and nor should you) or your boxer briefs (cuz, [...]
I’M NOT PERFECT…BUT I AM SARCASTIC SO THAT’S PRETTY MUCH THE SAME
You know that old adage that sarcasm is a defense mechanism (some say against stupid people, some say against fear, against vulnerability, etc...)? Well, I'm here to defend that adage...And any person fluent in sarcasm better not deny what I'm about to say...I'm being real here, so STFU and learn something about yourself. Just be [...]
SOMETIMES I WONDER IF PURGATORY IS REALLY JUST HELL IN DISGUISE
Yes, THREE posts in two days is utter ridiculousness (can we really count last night's tho?)...but I need the catharsis of writing shit out...so I'm gonna need to sort through this verbally/textually...If you're not interested in rambling musings and contemplation of love lost, then just stop reading now...if you are, I'll try to make it [...]
