I didn’t want to write this post. A topic of this magnitude, and the tragedy that befell our nation on Saturday was something that I cannot find the adequate words to describe. I was asked by numerous readers to write about Saturday’s Charlottesville terrorism, and truthfully, I’m sick to my stomach thinking about the grosslyContinue reading Charlottesville Wake Up Call
Tension at the Comedy Cellar
Last night, I went to the Comedy Cellar. If you don’t know, it’s pretty much a New York institution where all the comedy greats have performed. And most nights, an unexpected celebrity comedian will swing by to “work out” a bit. Case in point, the last time my friend went, both Chris Rock and DaveContinue reading Tension at the Comedy Cellar
Dancing in Spanish Harlem
So yesterday was my birthday 🙂 And I’ll tell you what…if there’s one thing I took away from the day, aside from how special friends and loved ones are, it’s how infinitely beautiful and diverse the culture is in NYC. Indulge me for a moment. Yesterday was one of those days that literally goes on forever.Continue reading Dancing in Spanish Harlem
God vs. Aliens
I’ve been really puzzled by a recent theme here lately. No, not our culture’s questionable obsession with unicorns, or the fact that our White House is turning over faster than a round of tequila shots on Cinco de Mayo. I’m confused about society’s recent preoccupation with….aliens. And if you think that was out of leftContinue reading God vs. Aliens
The Angry Feminist
Warning: this post may be slightly unpopular. You know what fashion trend I am completely over? Shirts with words on them. You know what I’m talking about…they’ll have random words like, “How about Tacos” or “#squad” or something like “Laundry Day.” The whole I’m-really-trying-to-look-like-I’m-not-trying look. And listen buddy, you ain’t foolin’ anybody. Just take your poly/cottonContinue reading The Angry Feminist
Strangers on a Plane
There are really two types of people when it comes to airplanes: there are the talkers, and then those who would rather get a root canal than socialize with the person seated next to them. Admittedly, I am the latter. Earbuds in, sunglasses on – I am a fortress. I am simultaneously praying for a)Continue reading Strangers on a Plane
Last Minute Miracles
This is now, probably the 19th time I’ve tried to start this post. All unsuccessfully, I might add. And given that it’s 6:00pm, and this post is set to publish in less than an hour, it’s safe to say, the pressure’s on. My mom sent me a photo yesterday. It’s of her on the top ofContinue reading Last Minute Miracles
Three Seconds
It was the summer before my seventh grade year. Which, if it’s possible to peak at age 12, then I think that may have been the case for me. But I digress. I’ll never forget the summer my mother and I rode Drop Zone at Kings Island. Imagine the Seattle Space Needle with a ringContinue reading Three Seconds
Your ED Questions, Answered
I want to start out by saying something. I nearly couldn’t go through with this post, because I felt, almost, phony answering these questions. Because the fact is, no recovery is perfect. There are things that I am still working on. There are things that I still can struggle with from time to time. RecoveryContinue reading Your ED Questions, Answered
Auditioning for The Bachelor?
Well The Bachelor auditions were today. And before you fall out of your chair, no I didn’t go. However, I’m not gonna lie, I was thisclose.
