im so disappointed in myself…

I haven’t written with the regularity I had aspired to. It’s not for lack of material at all, either. I have stories upon stories, some half written, some in my head, some man-centered, some decidedly not. OBVIOUSLY the way to grow/build is to be consistent. Pick a writing/posting schedule and stick with it! Sticking with … Continue reading →

what is the penis up to?

I really thought this would end up being a monthly sort of column, but OF COURSE some man has already gone and got crazy and my only option is to write about it. I really enjoy frequenting this local wine store. It’s a small business and they have wine tastings and food trucks and its … Continue reading →

what is the penis up to?

a “friend” gave me that title (he’s great but we’re not really friends in the traditional sense, if you’re picking up what i’m putting down) and suggested i have a column about my experiences with the mens so i think i’ll run with it. it probably won’t be a terribly regular thing, as i’m not … Continue reading →

that time i went to occupy wall st.

November 2011 was my first time in NYC. Well, that’s a lie. In the early aughts I spent the day running around the city with a friend. Which is a whole other story… Anyway, my birthday that year felt particularly significant, numerologically speaking (32 on 11-11), so I took myself on a long overdue vacation … Continue reading →

apparently, it’s my “tone”

I’ve had A LOT of people say this to me recently.  I both appreciate it and want to say fuck you to people that point it out. Who knew that SUDDENLY it’s not what you say, but how you say it? Perhaps I should pay more attention to idioms… I think people misinterpret my tone. … Continue reading →

ill admit it. im a racist.

i know how that sounds.  but seriously, hear me out. oxford dictionaries online defines the word “racist” as:  a person who believes that a particular race is superior to another. that description does not define my “style” (if you will) of racism.  my racism doesn’t come from a sense of superiority.  i don’t think anyone … Continue reading →

no good deed goes unpunished

i want to be (and consider myself) a kind person. i want to help people because, when i needed it, people stuck their necks out and helped me. and it made me feel really lucky to have people in my life who, even though i had no money, were willing to help with a couch … Continue reading →

should i let you all in?

i tend to be a very private person. i’m not interested in letting the world know my goings on and feelings and opinions about things. but, i think, there is a place for opening up. and for me that place is here? i’ve been thinking about writing and my writing and whether or not it’s … Continue reading →

And the restlessness begins…

it’s been so long since i last wrote! not really much has changed. i still work at the non-profit (help me jesus) and i’m still living in silver lake. everything is fine and dandy. if by fine and dandy one means really kind of hating your life right now and not seeing a way to … Continue reading →

im feeling a little cry-ey right now…

it could be that im on my period and more “emotional” than usual because of it. that’s probably it. and because of it, all these “feelings” are coming around. and i want to get laid and i want to lay my head on someones shoulder and i want someone to kiss me and love me … Continue reading →
