Search the Vehicle.
Yesterday I spent 15 minutes watching a car chase on TV. The man driving the car was suspected to be armed and in possession of narcotics, and was holding off the police in a grey Scion with only 3 tires. Spoiler alert: They caught him. But we never found out what was in his car,… Continue reading

Based on a True Story.
Today I saw the movie “Unbroken.” And as the last preview faded to black, and the lights dimmed, a familiar five word phrase filled the center of the screen. “Based on a true story” It’s a tagline found on posters for some of the most inspirational movies ever made. Spoken words of wisdom are written… Continue reading

The Ultimate Christmas Present
It was approximately 13 hours into the first day of November when I bought my first Christmas present. I had a goal: Finish Christmas Shopping Before December. SPOILER ALERT: I failed. There are always the stragglers. The friends or family members that are a little bit tougher to buy for. You try the creative route,… Continue reading

Thanksgiving: What I’m Thankful I Don’t Have.
So in case you haven’t heard, Thanksgiving is tomorrow. TOMORROW. Yes folks, the time has finally come to swim in the buttery mashed potato waterfalls. To pile one half of your plate solely with rolls, just because you can. To look at the desserts and tell yourself no, and then grab a fork for each… Continue reading

The Job Search
I’ve been participating in a well-known tradition known as “the job search” these days. Websites upon websites welcome you with their “51 open career opportunities!!” and their bright blue “APPLY NOW” buttons. You send out your resume, you type up your cover letters, and then you wait. You wait, and wait, and wait to no… Continue reading

In the World of Driving
I drive a lot. As in most of my work day is spent behind the wheel of my adorable Saturn Ion, dancing to my iPod and judging the way other people drive. It’s very peaceful, very mind clearing, and at times, very curse word inducing. If I were to describe my driving attitude, I would… Continue reading

Always October
We have reached one of most magical times of the year, people. Yes, I know summer is over and school is back in full swing. Sucks, sorry. Yes, I know that Southern California is clutching on to the temperatures of hell regardless of the calendar’s announcement of the start of fall, and that we are… Continue reading

Birthdays.
When I was little, birthdays were all about the birthday presents. Well, to be more accurate, birthdays were all about the birthday cards atop the presents. I took great pride in opening the cards, sure that everyone needed to hear what each one said. In fact, I felt it was my civic duty to ensure… Continue reading

Have you ever got to work, started your day, and suddenly had a pit in your stomach? A pit of regret. A pit that will remind you for the rest of the day of the mistake that you’ve made. I think you know where I’m going with this. It’s that feeling when you know you… Continue reading

Procrastination
I’ve always been one to procrastinate when something very important needs to get done. Key words are “very important”. Actually, we could ditch the “very”. If it’s something important, I’ll probably put it off. If I’m hungry, I won’t waste any time. If the new Ed Sheeran album comes out, you’ll find me on iTunes… Continue reading
