I want to preface this post by saying that I’ve contemplated whether or not to write it for about a week. Deep down, I knew it was only a matter of time. Writers are always told to write what they know, and to write about a subject in which they are passionate about. I’ve always wanted to … Continue reading I Don’t Fear Writing About Personal Experiences, And Here’s Why
From our early childhood years, we’re led to believe that success, popularity and happiness is determined by a large number of people in your life. We’re told to make a lot of friends and date a lot of people, as if that will somehow validate our social status or help us in anyway. I spent … Continue reading It Only Takes One Person
For a guy who uses social media on a regular basis and is an admitted hopeless romantic, I’ve never been one to boast about my significant other on social media. Sure, I’ll eventually change my relationship status, but I’m not the type of guy who is going to post new pictures of us every week, … Continue reading False Advertising
Two years ago, I wrote something down that I never published or showed anyone. While scrolling through old documents on my computer, I found it. I had every intention of publishing it right away, until I realized that the ending needed to be changed. For your convenience, here is the original material, followed by the … Continue reading I Hated My Editor, But He Was Probably The Best Thing To Happen To Me

Never talk about exes or other … Continue reading I Date, For Better Or Worse
I’ve always encouraged fans, readers, friends, etc. to submit any topics or questions they were curious about (pretty much nothing is off limits), but since I’ve never really advertised it anywhere, I’ll use this editor’s note as the platform: If you have anything you’d like me to tackle or elaborate on, feel free to shoot … Continue reading Submitted: “Has feminism affected dating?”
I don’t want you to make love with me. I don’t want you to kiss me. I don’t even want you to agree to a date with me. I don’t want any of it if you don’t mean it. There’s a difference between sleeping with someone and making love with them. There’s a difference between … Continue reading Don’t
Let me just preface this post by saying that I’ve been on vacation since Saturday and have not so much as looked at my laptop until now. I’ll be back home this upcoming Saturday, when I’ll try to get posts up more frequently. As a writer, you like to believe that everyone is reading your … Continue reading The Best Fan Mail I’ve Ever Received
Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira announced his intentions to retire at the end of the season this afternoon, marking what will be the end of a 14-year career in Major League Baseball.
