All my exes live in Texas… er, Cleveland

I can’t cut the string to my exes. For whatever subconscious reason, I keep them around. I call and check on them once-in-a-while, send a random text message to assure “I-still-think-about-you,” try to squeeze in some drunken ex-sex, casually stroll into the corner bar I know they hang out, and if workplaces weren’t so private (and you didn’t work from home), I’m sure I...

Liquor in the front, Poker in the back…

Break-ups fucking suck. They suck even more ass when you still find yourself dwelling, shit not even dwelling, but even a fleeting thought crosses your mind a year later, it could wreck havoc. Click “Naked, Drinking Coffee” for the male perspective of getting dumped and the healing process (aka: lots of alcohol) a year later. Excerpt from NDC: What pisses me off the most is that I still think...

Wrap it up!

Is the weekend over already because I still feel like partying. Thing I learned from this weekend: I can keep drinking beers and shots of tequila all day/night and NOT be hung-over the next morning AND keep drinking all night and not ever get sick. Sweet! I’ll file that for later… Saturday was Lorenzo’s Bday Bash in Akron. I LOVE partying at Posh! This was a rare event in which I really...

Go together like a… wha?

I woke up and thought it was Monday morning after a long and drunken weekend. Then I realized that it’s only been Tuesday and Wednesday. My fake-out-of-town husband leaves on Monday. He’s a little nervous on whether or not he’ll see me again for the holidays. Last night we spent an early Halloween at Blind Pig to watch THE game and pretend we were Pig employees for the evening. I’m...

You’re kidding, right?

ESPN is airing the Sta-Bil Finals (which in regular-guy terms is the racing of lawnmowers). I don’t know what’s funnier: the fact that it’s actually being aired on a network, or the fact that their broadcaster called them “Racing Machines.” In other sports’ news, Kyle Denney shot in the calf. Why isn’t the media making a bigger deal of this? The TEAM BUS was shot...

Is it really all about timing?

I missed him by 5 minutes. Truth is, I don’t know what I would’ve done/said/yelled/thrown. I’ve been in these sort of situations before. I just wish I would be the one confronted already. Sadly enough, his reign in Cleveland is over, and I’ve been thinking about it constantly. No more chance meetings throughout the Cleveland bars, no more thoughts of...

Not dreaming about California, THAT’S for sure!

Pisces Moon is emotional, but the feelings aren’t necessarily about personal relationships. Instead, there is a tendency to spiritualize our feelings, to activate our imaginations and to use fantasy as a navigational tool when we cannot rely on what we see. Additionally, the planet of love, is tensely opposing Chiron, the Wounded Healer. We can feel old wounds in present time and with forgiveness,...

I once thought I had mono for a whole year. Turns out I was just really bored

AHHHHHHHH!! (just needed to let a little hot air out this afternoon). I had an interesting lunch hour (or two) today. I met up with an ex in Coventry for a bite, and to talk. I felt it necessary to meet up with him since he really never had “closure” with me. I actually enjoyed myself. I believe it’s important to (finally) be friends with people you’ve previously dated. I hate...

Weekend Wrap-up

This train hasn’t stopped, baby! Choo-Choo! Friday night I picked up my girl Deanna from Chicago at the airport, and we headed down for Happy Hour drinks at Liquid. I was pleasantly surprised by the crowd. We took off a little early to visit her parents’ yacht club for their annual Regatta party. After enough family and potluck dishes with cat hair, we went BACK to Liquid and ended at Velvet...

Clearing things up

I keep getting emails/comments on the reasons why L dumped me. The truthful answer is: I don’t know. The Fucker (as he is so-affectionately-named) doesn’t have the balls to call and tell me. He pulled out the dick-card and just stopped calling me once he got back in town. So, people… your guess is as good as mine. I have this horrible “Pretty Woman” complex right now to boot,...

Is it the fucking weekend yet?

Last night left a lot to be desired in my world of being single. It was almost a recurring bad dream. Is there ever a point in life, regardless of circumstance, that you just FEEL something so godamn strong it hurts? I mean, seriously PAINS your insides? You expose yourself (and I don’t mean boobies) to someone, and they fail to recognize. I’m trying to figure out if I’m only upset...

Brightly water-colored Christmas memories…

I’m Christmas shopping at the mall today with my dad. I walk into the department store where “it” happened almost eight years ago. Eight years earlier I bumped into HSS with someone else. He was showing her what he wanted for Christmas. Just as he did with me a week earlier. The memories came flowing back; it almost took my breath away. All the things I wanted to scream, to just...
