you know

You shouldn’t have had to read the eulogy that I wrote for you for your Mom.  Not at eleven years old. You shouldn’t have to hug adult relatives and say, “It’s OK.  We’ll get through this together.”  You don’t have to try to be brave for the rest of us. You don’t have to be […]


I’m sitting on a pigeon crap-encrusted bench with THAT friend.   The one you only see once every few years.  You know, the one that arrives like a tornado.  I’m outside a Subway at 5:17 am.  I’m muttering “I said no fucking onions.”  90% of the digits needed to call the girl who was selling Jell-O […]


I brings the ruckus to the ladies. (Wait.  That’s not it.) If you know anything about me, you know that yesterday was my birthday. (There it is.) And I want to thank everyone for the birthday calls, texts, smoke signals, e-mails, she-males, telegraphs, Facebook wall posts/messages/gifts, crudely drawn nude self-portraits, and new socks. I meant […]


If I ever popped my collar, even accidentally while putting on a shirt, I would slap the living shit out of myself.

I feel like my blog has morphed into nothing but Word Doodles and a few mentions of my novella. (If you buy it, I’ll stop bringing it up.*) So, I thought that I might talk about something different… I am not sure of all of the details, but last night was filled with some very […]

You’ve always loved the lighting in your bathroom. It never seems to judge when showing you the flaws to be covered. It graciously helps with the easy blending of focus group-named colours. Tonight you’ve decided to employ Victoria’s most gravity-defying of secret. Tonight is important. You are going to show and tell him that you […]


Do you ever want to just embrace being happy? forget cynicism exists? enjoy being uncool? be silly and loopy? turn the music up?  louder? ball your pants up and throw them? only eat the middles of your Pop-Tarts? pull their lower lip down with your thumb and forefinger? ask the homeless guy “Why?” tell people […]


It’s Friday.  You are not feeling at all motivated to do any work.  You are slightly hungover, but trying to hide it.  You are wearing the same clothes as last night.  You can’t tell if you have both contacts in.  You are resisting the urge to put your head down on the desk.  Just for […]
