I’m of a belief that romantic activity is meant to be private. This isn’t out of some degree of prudishness or anything. I’m not offended by what other people might discuss of their private lives or their sex lives or whatever, that’s their prerogative. Just don’t expect me to join in. I can’t help but […]
Sports is entirely cut and dried. There’s a winner and a loser every single time.
I have to admit that this month’s theme was a problem for me. The only thing I could come up with when presented with “Instant Gratification” was a ridiculous rant about how the instantaneous nature of modern technology has actually degraded interpersonal interactions and society at large. What interested me instead was a dichotomy of […]

“Best Post Written about Our Generation’s Remember Where You Were When THAT Happened Moment” Okay, so we don’t have any JFK’s or MLK’s, but–as the Tailor aptly points out–we {did} have a serious martyr on our hands. Tiger Woods is Guilty but So are You* By this point, you’d have to be hiding under a […]
As I approach the one year anniversary of my relocation to Wisconsin, I can’t help but look back at the ways my life has changed since I left my home state of Connecticut. I’m engaged to be married, something I never would have expected to happen in my life. I’m searching for a job, which […]
In my experience, everyone who identifies themselves as an atheist tends to have some kind of negative experience with organized religion that makes the individual say “Forget it.” In my case there was no such epiphany.
