The Girl w/ Cat Breath

  It was our second date–but more of a friend date. I didn’t feel a ton of chemistry on our first date, but it was fun, and she was interesting and out-of-the-box, and totally irreverent, so we kept in touch with the intention of doing artsy/creative things together.   It took a few weeks, but…

Defy Entropy

  I am out of control. There you go. Admitting it is always the hardest part. Lately, it’s like I’ve been possessed by some kind of lust demon. I know what you’re thinking. Alex… we know this. It’s like like I’m 13 again, and my cells have been hijacked by nano-robots with one and only one directive: to get me laid….
