I’m still unclear on the whole “Nicole Richie fashion icon” premise Tuesday night I turned on Fashion Star about halfway through. Don’t judge me for that until you hear my reasons. A) My brother and sister in law are both fashion designers B) I needed to figure out why the commercials touted…
My Daily Life
Everybody Talks
Hey baby won’t you look my way I can be your new addiction Neon Trees I’m 46. Does liking Neon Trees make me an aging hipster or just a dude who likes good music? Now that I think about it I also like Silversun Pickups which probably means I might possibly be a bit…
An amazing voice
Christina’s rack isn’t the focus of this post. Seriously. Dateline: Monday night Around 9:30 I began channel surfing and came across The Voice. I’ve never seen the show but I heard some dude singing and he sounded good. Damn good actually. With one of my favorite train wrecks (The Bachelor) cutting in…
The new and possibly improved J.R.
It’s all about the attitude and let’s be honest, I’m full of attitude! Like most people I’ve tried to lose weight over the years and have been less than successful. How unsuccessful was I? One time I somehow managed to tack on eight pounds to what I already weighed and that completely sucked ass. In…
Alone doesn’t necessarily mean lonely
I finally feel like I’m ready and that is totally rad. A couple weeks ago I received an e-mail from Good Men Project saying they were looking for posts about solitude. I immediately replied and said I know all about solitude and that I would get them something. If you read my blog on…
Fall To PIeces
I keep a journal of memories I’m feeling lonely, I can’t breathe Velvet Revolver Every once in a while someone comes into your life seemingly by accident, yet later on you come to realize that it was no accident. I have someone like that in my life. My Muse has helped me through a…
Other priorities
What do you have? Here’s a great story for you. My ex, Baby Mama, is behind on paying child support to me. When we first split she was hurting financially so I didn’t pursue the issue. I was trying to be a nice guy. Almost nine years later she decided to step up to the…
Cruising on a Friday
In her defense, it was black and one could make the argument it was hard to see. My teenage Drama Queen’s first semester of high school was officially over Thursday and the students had a day off on Friday. With that in mind, I arranged to meet my friend Steve at his son’s apartment a…
I’m a big loser
I was going to give myself a virtual high five for the catchy title, but the more I thought about it, a fifth grader could have come up with it. My apologies. This is my before and after. In case you’re confused about which is the before, the one on…
A teenage life lesson
I need to go find a way to accomplish that. Somehow. Yes. That’s me in 1984. I’m not sure where to start mocking myself. Is it the hair? The glasses? How about that shitty wanna be porn ‘stache I was trying to grow? Maybe the fact that I was 6 ft 180 pounds and a…
How many balls are too many?
…the more balls the better. First off, this is NOT a post about balls. I swear. I’m a guy and when the opportunity to make a ball joke pops up, I have to roll with it. Ya know? So if it’s not about juevos, what is this post about? I’m glad you asked. Wednesday was…
A tale of two years
It’s finally 2012 and for that I’m glad. 2011 was a shitty year for me, but I have big hopes for 2012. Of course, a year ago I said I had big hopes for 2011 and we know how that turned out. 2011 saw my health deteriorate and lots of financial stress,…
Miracles do happen
I totally just made that up. With no liquor involved. Cool. First off, Merry Whatever-it-is-you-celebrate. I could lace this blog post with innuendo and double entendre, but for some reason I don’t feel like it tonight. I mean, yule logs, eggnog and mistletoe jokes are easy holiday entertainment, but I’ll…
Holiday Rewind
It’s Festivus… for the rest of us! This is a post I ran December 23 last year. It’s my early Christmas gift to you. or Chanukah or Kwanza. Whatever your thing is. It’s simply the best Effing holiday of the year. Seriously. I first became aware of Festivus at the same time many…
The Riddle
Here’s a riddle for you Find the answer There’s a reason for the world You and I… Five For Fighting John Ondrasik is straight up rad. Chill out. I don’t have a man crush on him or anything. John is a singer/songwriter who records under the name Five For Fighting, which coincidentally is…
My Rules of Engagement
“No thanks. I’m gonna pass on playing cowboy with James Bond’s alien.” Dateline:Thursday night. My bed. There I was, desperately trying to fall asleep. No mater how hard I tried, I couldn’t shut down my brain and drift off to the peaceful slumber I desired. Thought after…
