So tomorrow’s Valentine’s Day, which is a great day for about half of all people and absolutely shitty for the other half. I try to ignore it as much as possible, which is relatively easy seeing as I’ve never actually been in a relationship during Valentine’s Day. Still, it’s hard to totally block out of [...]
I’m Still Here
I haven’t much felt the urge to write lately. I’ve actually been out there DOING. Making friends, hanging out, that sort of thing. I’ve also been stricken with an Olympic-size case of writer’s block, so there’s that to contend with.
I joined match.com this past weekend. So far, I’m not impressed. The couple of guys that [...]
Something Ain’t Right
vh-1 classic is playing 2,009 videos in a row, in alphabetical order. Right now, they’re at “The Bird” by Morris Day & The Time, so I would guess that it’ll be over soon. I wish I had a VCR. I would have recorded most of it. Lord only knows how many videotapes that would have [...]
Goodbye ‘08
Another year come and gone…but I feel more of a sense of accomplishment tonight than I have on a New Year’s eve on a long time. Although I haven’t reached my own personal comfort level yet, I kind of smile when I think of where I was at this time last year-job I absolutely hated, [...]
Wrapping It Up
Geezus, the year is almost over. Where did all the time go?
Had a nice trip back to New York on Thursday for our office holiday party. It was nice to see all of my co-workers again (the ones that are left, anyway), and it was also good to have a night of general debauchery with [...]
Not Satisfied Yet
So I’ve been in Boston for seven months, and while I don’t think I regret the actual move, I’m not 100% sure these days if I want to stay here. In this amount of time, I’ve really only made two friends and have had all sorts of dating and hookup mishaps. I still feel like [...]
Good Leakage/Bad Leakage
On one hand, one of the pipes under my bathroom sink is leaking, so I have to go into the bathroom every couple of hours to empty the little container that I’m catching the water in (so my bathroom doesnt flood), but on the other hand, I actually bought a shower head that works. Yes, [...]
A Little Bit of Levity
Train operator (to a customer who was trying to fix an improperly closed door): “Let me do it. You get hurt, I get sued. I get hurt, I get paid”.
Word.
Fade Into the Background
Rejection hurts no matter what, but it’s the sort of passive/aggressive rejection that pisses me off the most.
For the past month or so, I’ve been dealing with the aftermath of being rejected by the first person I’d really felt a romantic connection with in a while. Perhaps I came on a little too strong-I tend [...]
Does This Work?
Because I am nothing if not persistent, this is the latest ad I’ve posted. What do you think?
32 year old black guy here, fairly new to Boston. 5′7/160, shaved head, brown eyes, glasses. Decent looking but not an Adonis, decent shape (I do go to the gym) but not a hardbody. Pretty much the textbook [...]
