Yet another article on MSN.com got me thinking this morning about a topic that has come up in my life quite a number of times recently. No, I’m not talking about being single; I’m talking about playing THE GAME. We all know what I’m referring to, we’ve all played it, we’ve all lost to it, and we’ve all loathed it. I’m becoming increasingly more impatient with the whole hoopla the older I get...

I’ve now found confirmation that my life is worth getting up for everyday. Not that I didn’t know that before, but it helps to have it reiterated every once in awhile. If you (you being whoever’s reading this) or someone you know complains about being single, please refer them to this article.

I think the last time I spoke with her about any “boyfriend” I had just met Dylan, and he was taking me out for Valentine’s Day. My do the...

On Saturday I traveled to the Washington coast with my British lover. For me, nothing sounded more romantic and fun than taking a mini road trip to the beach with a man that I would love nothing more than to be cooped up in a car with for six hours…or anywhere else for that matter. For the Brit and I, this was going to be the longest amount of time we had spent together, and I relished in the fact that...

When you first start dating someone, you inevitably go through that period of time where you’re spending a lot of time with them, going out to dinner and staying up way later than you normally would, trying to decide if you like them and if they are really worthy to introduce to your friends. By this Friday night, almost everyone whose opinion I really cared a lot about had met the Brit, either on...

Yesterday was my dreaded monthly training session at the gym where a trainer measures me and compares my progress to last month’s. Normally, I am pumped for this because then I can actually get a little retribution for the hard work and determination I’ve invested in this “losing weight” thing. (Hard work and determination that does not extend to giving up alcohol or other unhealthy vices.),...
