This is about as much fun as a heart attack.

God is a comedian, playing to an audience too afraid to laugh. -Voltaire

About Me

What exactly is so disconcerting about honesty?Today I was dining alone at a restaurant and my server asked "how are you today?" Now on this particular occasion I could honestly reply "fine, thanks". But what if I was having a shitty day? Am I then expected to lie... reply that I'm "fine", and when I'm too cranky to make idle chit chat, should the server then assume that I'm an unfriendly cunt? Should he retaliate by offering me sub-par service and spit in my food, thus making my shitty day even more lamentable? See, this is the problem with inaccurate and incomplete information. Perhaps an honest answer to the "how are you" question would have yielded an effort to brighten my day... maybe a free soup or some extra dinner mints. Thus resulting in a better tip for my server and a more pleasant dining experience for myself. See, everyone wins.

My Interests

I'm rather interested in watching Adam Levine gyrate his hips around.

I'd like to meet:

Everyone point and laugh at the pregnant lady.

Ok. So due to the physical discomfort I am currently experiencing, I didn't expect to write again until little Jordan is born. But I am awake and I have tums, so I think my belly can handle this for...

For the record, the next person that tells me"Don't worry. Just focus on the baby."Is getting stabbed.Babies do not hold stimulating, adult conversation. Babies do not provide a sense of safety and ...

Fairy tales and make believe!

Some things aren't so clearly defined

Some things are simple... like cakes. If I make the time, put in the effort and the right ingredients, I know what I'm going to wind up getting as an end result. Cakes are easy. People and aspirati...

Question of settling.
