Relationship Routes
Getting from Mars to Venus and Back Imagine this situation with me at Kung-Fu movie fight pace: Dude and Chick in Bar. Dude says, “Hey my name is Dude, can I buy you a drink?” Above him is a thought bubble... with one of the following: “She’s hot.” “I’m drunk… maybe I...

Sometimes, you have to make war to make love
Ladies, we know you hate war and love peace. You talk about it all the time, in both macro-scale and micro-scale. A week doesn’t go by where I don’t hear a woman (or a man who might as well be a woman) say something on the theme of ‘There’s no such thing as a good war...
Thanks for Something
We like to tell ourselves that we have become better, stronger people after a failed relationship and that the time spent in that failed relationship was responsible for teaching us some inspired piece of admonition used to hopingly contrive a piece of divine clarity...
Dating Down
Dating down will “never” work. The love between two people is more secure when both people are of equal status or each person has a superior life trait (beauty, power, money, intelligence, charisma, kindness, etc.) that is equal in dominance. Dating...
Googled Unearthed
The world is saturated with “know-it-alls.” There is nothing worse than listening to some shit-brained wannabe elitist with zero life experience talk about how he/she can do it better than someone...

Not Entitled
Dear America, You are not entitled to what I earn. You are not entitled to a home or a car. You are not entitled to healthcare. You are not entitled to education and certification. You are not entitled to food and clothing. You are not...
Master of the Moment
The Craft and Importance of Being Present It seems apropos that “I” is the 10th most commonly used word in the English language and “you” is 18th most commonly used word in the English language. This is a self-centric world. “Time” is the most...
Dating Momentum
Momentum is defined by science and mathematics as force or speed of movement, or (P=M*V) where momentum equals “P,” mass equals “M,” and velocity (the measurement of the rate and direction of change in the position of an object) equals “V.” I couldn’t relate any...
Classic Cheer
Cheer! Simple jubilation, what I like to call Cheer! Cheeseburger and Beer. (If you just started singing, humming, or even thinking of Jimmy Buffet’s Cheeseburger in Paradise – stop, now, you’re embarrassing yourself). Depending on who...
Why I don’t call
It’s awkward when women confuse friendly banter (originating from an innocent night out) with some sort of runic intention that forces me to transcend from a man who is enjoying his environment, to a man purged of his moxie, laden with the indifference of wanting to...
Dress 3 Drinks In
It’s Friday night and you are getting ready to go out. You want to feel sexy, look hot, and be beautified. You open the closet door secretly hoping it will suck you in, spin you around, and spit you out looking gorgeous. Then you get a glance of yourself...
MILF and proud of it! Proud of it? Proud of it!
1999 what a historic year...well, for me at least, maybe not in mainstream history. Michael Jordan announced his retirement from the Chicago Bulls (for the 2nd and final time). Pro wrestler Jesse Ventura was sworn in as the Governor of Minnesota (the WWF may...
Elements of Happiness
I am happy… If that statement doesn’t make you jealous, provoke curiosity or arouse distant memories of fun times with friends and family, then you should stop reading now. With that said, happiness is not guaranteed. Happiness isn’t guaranteed but we can...
Stuck
Feeling stuck is life’s ultimate compulsion; forcing us to live a life that knowingly makes us barely satisfied or knowingly makes us unhappy, inevitably challenging our emotions to the brink of rash decisions or abject moral imprisonment. Feeling stuck is not...
Claim Me, If You Can!
Women of the world, I am on to you. I was once jejune, believing that the women I date foist flighty comments of possession around other girls because they were trying to give me subtle hints of affection. Phrases like “Remember last week when we were...
The Rule of Threeve
So… when is it time to give up the pursuit of someone you are interested in? The serial killer in me says never; always go after what makes you happy, no matter how long, whom or what may stand in your way. The pragmatic romantic in me says after a certain number of...
The Idea of Things
People love to dream. People love to reminisce. People love to exaggerate. The world is full of people who talk about who they are, who they were, who they want to be and most importantly (uncomfortably) who they will be. This self-perception cascades through...
Two Wrongs, Make a Right?
Everyone knows someone in their life who is fucked up beyond repair. All we can do is wish that one day this person will normalize by divine intervention and someday offer society positive reparations for their destructive path. Afflatus aside, it is our job to...
PooF!
Being in love is a beautiful thing. Sharing time and space with another person is the ultimate gesture of faith. Most of us hope that this piece of our existence will last in this life and...
Eye Contact
…Hello Ladies; look at me, now look down, now back to me, now think about the one you are with, now back to me. Look inward; back up, where are you? You are in the gym looking at me; stop that. You’re now at a bar with the man your man could be, if you would only look...
