Below is a conversation with a friend about a date I went on recently.
Me: Want to hear about my most recent date?
Bryan: Of course. You see the most colorful characters.
Me: So, I finally went out with the guy who I affectionately call “the murderer” because of the whole “looking like a murderer” thing when I was visiting the city where he lives.
Bryan: Why exactly would you do such a thing?
Me: Because. Um. Bryan, don’t ask questions I can’t answer.
Bryan: Okay, I’ll stick to questions about colors and ducks.
Me: Finally. That’s all I’ve ever asked of you. Anyhoo… I was supposed to meet him at his place and then we were going to get some food nearby. When I get there, he’s on the phone with a finger up for me to wait. For 5 minutes. It was kind of rude considering I hardly know him. But, whatever.
Bryan: STOP. You lost me at “I was supposed to meet him at his place” and “So, I finally went out with the guy who I affectionately call “the murderer” because of the whole “looking like a murderer” thing when I was visiting the city where he lives.” Why the fuck would you go near Red’s house when you could end up like a duck?
Me: I refer you to my previous request.
Bryan: What? I phrased it in terms of colors and ducks.
Me: Besides, I only mostly thought he might kill me.

Me: Focus, Bryan. Anyway – we go around the corner when he finally gets off the phone, and he proceeds to freak the eff out when his favorite vegan food truck was gone.
Bryan: STOP. You lost me at vegan. Continue reading →
Words of Wisdom from Lady Gaga
Sometimes we are in relationships where we are not treated well. In fact, sometimes we find ourselves in relationships where we are treated terribly- our goals undermined, our confidence ridiculed. To that, we offer you words of wisdom from Lady Gaga herself. If she’s been there, we all have.
Quoted in NY Daily News back in 2010 she stated, “I had a boyfriend who told me I’d never succeed, never be nominated for a Grammy, never have a hit song, and that he hoped I’d fail. I said to him, ‘Someday, when we’re not together, you won’t be able to order a cup of coffee at the fucking deli without hearing or seeing me.”
And look at where she is now. On. Top. Of. The. World. BOOM.
Have faith in yourself and your dreams, and don’t let anyone tell you you’re not good enough. In the end, you’re all you need.
