Cannery of Crazy.
I have, once or twice (or 10) times in my life, been accused of stringing people along. Whilst I mostly can say that I tend to talk a big talk and walk a snuggly walk - occasionally I am completely taken by surprise. Once such occasion happened in the early morning hours this past monday.
A morning full of promise. A morning in which after a night of unfulfilling sex I had come to a mental...
Reboot.
Its time to start updating again. My life hasn’t gotten any less ridiculous in my few silent months, but I’ve been distracted.
And for my current dilemma:
I am more fickle than a mosquito to a strobe light. I fall in and out of love at least once a week. And without fail the person who is lucky enough to be on the receiving end of my infatuations falls under most, if not all, of the...

Marriage and Mortality
I confuse myself a lot of the time. Things that I believe to be true can generally tend to run in direct opposition on how I actually live my life. I’ve joked that I have a sub-conscious desire to make my life as awkward as possible. Suggested reasons for this have included: Material for self-deprecation. Stories to tell to strangers at work to endear them to me. Relationship subterfuge....
When You Play the Game of Numbers, You Win or You...
Whilst mulling over our individual romantic lives yesterday with my friend Kate on our way to her semi-blind date in the Mission, I casually made a comment (that she finished) that has bugged me all day today. This is how it went:
Me: “When I think about it… just since I’ve moved to San Francisco I’ve slept with more people than most people-“
Kate: “-sleep...
Match.weird
The thing about Match.com is that not only does it suck, it knows it sucks.
Not only is the site so unconfident in its own efficacy that unless you specifically cancel your account it will automatically resubscribe you but getting a refund is easier than ordering a pizza. Its literally the easiest automated process i’ve ever partaken in. You can get a refund without reason or explanation...

Late 90's Aggression
Last night, my dear friend Katy and I got treated to the delicious late-90s sweet jams courtesy of the Counting Crows at the Fox Theater in Oakland. Make fun if you will, but after decades of touring and making records, the CCs put on a very enjoyable show.
At some point I found it hilarious that Adam Duritz so obviously takes himself very seriously. Like, I could imagine him touching up his...
Potatoes vs. Avocados.
The stunning achievement of my 26th year is that a month prior I purchased a brand new computer. Thus, the blog I started FIVE MONTHS AGO, will now be more frequently updated. I also have to do that thing where I give other people the link… I guess.
So for the last 5 days I’ve been 26, bitches. The majority of my extended family completely ignored my birthday, as did a couple of my...

Of Ra(n)ts and Men
Perhaps i reek of fresh meat. That my unfamiliar face busting down Polk Street inspires the enamor and attention of every… homeless, foreign, or 40+ man on lower Polk. But, really? Come on.
At least in New York I knew what I was dealing with… well most of the time. Not that it was the easiest train to hop on, but at least the familiarity of the blurry world of - hooking...

It has been one month and (as of an hour ago) a half since I left the state of New York.
I’m not sure exactly what it was I was hoping to find. Some modern approximation of Manifest Destiny I suppose. The unwillingness to believe that I could potentially know anything of this world if I never left the comforts of the tri-state area for more than a week of my life. Adventure.
I come bright...
