What A Relief

Occasionally I’ll have moments when I think about past friendships and romances. For the handful of relationships in which ties were severed and there is no longer contact, there is theme: I have absolutely NO regrets of it ending when all is said and done. It ends up being a relief more than anything else.

So Deep

The question that has plagued people for centuries: If you’re feeling nauseated, do you fight it, or just let it flow?
This weekend I fought a good fight and won! But did I actually win or just prolong my suffering. I’ll never really know.

MY DAD

Today is my dad’s birthday. I think he’s 68 (it’s weird how I’ve forgotten the exact age of my parents and siblings as I’ve gotten older). He’s one of greatest people I know. And here’s why:

Even though he hates them, he bought me a cat when I was 5 because I wanted one so bad. [...]

Happy VD – That’s Valentines Day!

Love.
What exactly is love?
Is it a feeling? An emotion? A behavior? Is love something you can choose, or does it choose you?

I Feel Pretty, Oh So Pretty

Have you ever had a dream in which you forget about something, like dressing yourself, picking up your kids on time (or even that you HAVE kids), about a test, etc?

My Innards Have Been Scarred For Life

It had so much going for it… an almost unending potential:
A sports grill, which is almost like a bar, in St. George, UT. Almost no competition.
A catchy name.
A bunch of big t.v.s all over the place.
An interesting menu.
A pretty good beer (yuck) selection, or so I was told.
How could it possibly go wrong?! It could, [...]

Goody Goody Gum Drops

THINGS I AM GRATEFUL FOR:

Meeting a kindred spirit… A thoughtful and loving man named Mr. “N”.

Yawn

Blah blah blah. Pretty deep, huh?
With regards to drama, there are two types of people: those who thrive and seek it out, and even create it for themselves. And then there are those, like myself, that enjoy a more calm and contention free life. That is why “blah blah blah” is about my only response [...]
