The Answer is More Crazy, Not Less

I used to try to hide my crazy. Maybe we all do. Who wants to look like an emotional wreck? Who wants to get defensive at a relatively benign comment that is directed your way, or become overly sensitive because someone didn’t respond to you the way that you wanted? Nobody wants to appear these…

The Opportunity of Heartbreak

Loneliness. Sadness. Bouts of depression. This shit sucks. My first ever long-term committed relationship. Almost 2 1/2 years. Why have I been such a veritable wreck? And then it hit me: I can rebuild from the ground up. There is a brand new space in my life. Yes, there is emptiness. And until this moment, I…

Wizards Live Life Backwards

A few years ago, I read a book that rocked my world: The Way of the Wizard, by Deepak Chopra. It’s a small book with a powerful message: you gotta BELIEVE it before you can SEE it. It’s totally the reverse of how we normally view life (and counter-intuitive). Of course, he’s not the first to write…

Despicable Me

I’m rotten. I almost labeled this, The Breaker-Upper, but I knew that you’d be 100x more likely to click on this blog if I called it, Despicable Me. But am I really that despicable? Of course, not (said in a Louis C.K. voice). Of course, not. (See clip here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0O5h4enjrHw) Why would I even possibly consider myself despicable? Well,…

Tinder Date

I was on a date tonight off of Tinder. It was only my second Tinder date. “Date” may be too formal a word. It was more of a hang-out. Yes, there was some flirting beforehand. Nothing major, though. Let’s just say that a message I sent her using the audio-to-text feature created an interesting variation of “my…
