I remember the rush of excitement when the decision was made. We were hiring Darth Vader. My freshman year of high school, I played bass with the New Jersey Youth Symphony, a group that made money hand-over-fist for allowing children the privilege of playing community organization that ensured that musically-inclined children would be able to… Continue reading Throwback Thursday: Riding in an Elevator with James Earl Jones

The origins of #InappropriateChurchTweets
So I’m still in a crappy mood – but I’m attributing today much more to the killer headache than the fact that Tuesday sucks donkey balls. It’s Holy Week, which is just a super busy time for a non-believer1 who masturbates plays with his organ. Since I’m going at a very different schedule, and since… Continue reading The origins of #InappropriateChurchTweets
Bad Mood Today
Seriously, what the hell is up with Tuesdays? The last several have left me feeling like absolute shit. Today seems like the worst of the lot. I want to eat raw read meat and drink gin and throw shuriken at Care Bear figurines. Or nap. I remember a teacher in middle school talking about the… Continue reading Bad Mood Today
On being a better blogger
I’ve really been trying to find extra time in the day to be a blogger, and I don’t mean that in a purely “I’ve been trying to find extra time in the day to write” sense. I’m trying to be an active blogger more & more. I want to read what you write, I want… Continue reading On being a better blogger
Random Stream of Consciousness
This has been a long week and I’m barely able to think, so I’m going to wrap things up with a little bit of insomnia stream-of-consciousness Why does teething hurt? Pain is important, it provides very express feedback to something. Yet an infant or toddler who can’t process why they’re hurting? It seems like a… Continue reading Random Stream of Consciousness
Throwback Thursday: Where I Got Drunk & Embarrassed Myself
Ok, so the title could have been from any time in my life, really, but this is the fist time I drank. I was 13 and I was high on boobs. (after the jump)
My current & future tattoos
I still remember my very first “real” job interview. It was for the .com startup in Baltimore – the guy who I’d actually be reporting to was sick and out of the office for my interview, but a peer of his sat down with me. We talked for a few hours, I met some of… Continue reading My current & future tattoos
Pep-Talk Tuesday: Keep Looking Forward
Time for another meme: Pep-Talk Tuesdays. I just needed something today to make myself not be discouraged as I start swimming and not freak out that I have a fucking marathon in 2 & a half weeks. A year ago, at this time, I was nervous about making my goal. The previous winter, a friend… Continue reading Pep-Talk Tuesday: Keep Looking Forward
She’d been a good TV
Maryland has no rent control. I found this out with my first apartment on my own. I graduated college, doe-eyed, engaged to my then-fiancée, working for a little .com startup in downtown Baltimore. I found a one-bedroom apartment for a reasonable rate and was quite happy with things. A month later, I was single. Working… Continue reading She’d been a good TV
Changing Up my Workouts
Well, it was just a matter of time before I started writing about working out. Yeah, the reason I moved things over here was because I was in a rut of only writing about working out, but I kind of have good news on the exercise front, and news is always fun to write about.… Continue reading Changing Up my Workouts
