If you are a fan of Alanis Morissette, these words might sound familiar. They are the refrain from a song of hers entitled ‘So Unsexy’. It’s an older song, circa 2002 but it could have been written at any point in my life and it would have rang true. I finally decided to have it... Continue Reading →
Smile.
Remember that jump drive I found a few weeks ago? Sure you do. So I was taking a closer look at the photos on it and I came across two of them that stopped me in my tracks. They were taken over 10 years ago, in a hotel room, in a moment of post-coital bliss.... Continue Reading →
The Wariness in My Wilding
I just read something by one of my favorite authors, Jane Green, which I found interesting. A woman had called her a ‘social whore’, which is the LAST thing I consider myself, but the rest resonated with me, and it may with a few of you as well. ‘The beginning of my Rewilding journey, moving...

Of Birds and Betrayal
Well, Blondie’s birthday came and went, and I stayed home. I made the momentous decision to not fly to Missouri to surprise her after The Bird made it clear that I was not welcome. Sure, she worded it a bit more diplomatically, but I know her well enough to know that, “Call or text her... Continue Reading →
What I Thought It Would Be, Ain’t Reality
Did you ever look at your life and say, "What the fuck? It wasn't supposed to be like this". I'm guessing that when you were in your teens and 20s, you probably figured that you'd have a kick ass apartment, with or without matching kick ass roommates. You'd work at your kick ass job, then...

Bear 1, Man 0
So remember how at one point, I thought that John the Lawyer was the front runner? If you recall, back in June he and I had been talking for a while but he started to get a bit pushy. He wanted to get heavy with the flirting and I was a bit uncomfortable with it... Continue Reading →
Excuse Me, May I Call You Chucklenuts?
[This is the note I planned to send Marlboro Man] I have always had a need to explain myself. I think it stems from never having been allowed to speak my mind and defend myself as a kid, so I’m doing it now. Just humor me and I’ll finally get out of your hair, m’kay,... Continue Reading →
The Reservation Cancellation
I was going to go. I was going to go to Missouri and surprise Blondie and wish her a happy birthday, but instead I’m going to stay home. This makes me sadder than it should for many reasons. 6 weeks ago I hatched this plot to sneak in and surprise her. I know she didn’t... Continue Reading →
The Seduction Function
I know- it’s like Post-a-Rama all up in here today. Apparently I have a lot to say and no one I really want to say it to, so I’ll be screaming into the abyss if it’s ok with you. Ahem. Let’s talk about seduction. Everyone, and I mean everyone, should know what it’s like to... Continue Reading →
A Woman Needs a Marlboro Like a Fish Needs a Pretzel.
Bear with me on this. Or, don't. It barely makes sense to me. So here’s the thing Wise Readers… I know it seems like I’m obsessed with Marlboro Man and I can see why you’d think that. After reading my last few posts I’m kinda wondering about it myself, but then I gave it some... Continue Reading →
