There’s a BIG misconception in the world about sarcastic people, and I’d like to clear that up right the fuck now. It genuinely makes me angry that a style of humor and dark commentary makes you a bad person. Or a negative person. Or a mean person. Or (insert literally […]

Heartbreak Anxiety, Meditation, and Vodka Sauce
As we approach the ever-dreaded holiday that is Valentine’s Day this Sunday, I thought I’d share some anecdotes of heartbreak anxiety and my recipe for Vodka sauce. Because well, I have a lot of vodka on hand these days. Here’s why. As some of you may know, I’m going through […]
Being Self-Aware and OK With Your Baggage
I know this may come as a shock to most of you reading this, and especially for those of you who know me, but I like who I am. I’m 36 years old and I’m pretty self-aware. I’ve been around long enough to know who I am, what I like, […]
Feeling Blue? Here’s Some Feel-Good Movies and Shows

If you told me the guy from The Apprentice would be our President one day, I would have laughed. And if you told me that the WORLD would be shut down for 6+ months due to a global pandemic, I again, would have laughed. Yet, here we are. I guess […]
Things I Loved in Health (or Sleep) This Week
I think “sleep” falls under the same health/wellness category, so let’s run with that. It dawned on me recently just how many things I use at night to help me sleep. In my 20’s it started with a sleep mask, which was essential to sleeping those hangovers off well into […]
It’s 9/30. And it’s Time for a Change.
This day is particularly significant for me, and every year it serves as my day to reflect. 19 years ago, 9/30/2001, was the day my entire life got uprooted and thrown down a completely different, dark path. If you want to read the full story, you can do so here. […]
