Yesterday, I had enough of feeling sorry for myself – and decided that I was going to change my attitude. The quickest way to change my attitude is to listen to music which is upbeat and happy… so I pop open spotify at work, and type in five familiar letters that always brought me joy. Oh yeah, those five crazy whacky boys from NSYNC. Back in the day I was obsessed with NSYNC. As much as I love U2, and Chevelle, and Third Eye Blind (and [Click Comments To Continue]
Yesterday was rough – probably the roughest day in recent memory. It was a combination of stuff – the strange (mean) text messages from [redacted]‘s apparent new girlfriend… the fact that I have been spending four days in the most insane heat moving… the fact that I’m extremely frustrated by the lack of accountability in the people around me… and the fact that I feel like I put forth a lot of effort for a lot of people, and get very little [Click Comments To Continue]
Every once and a while I come across a company that provides a service or solution that I look at and go, “There’s a company who actually solves a problem.” Recently, one of my friends showed me a software they use by Bomgar Remote Support – which has one of the best solutions I’ve seen out there in a while. From their website: “THE BOMGAR BOX™ Appliance-Based Remote Desktop Access Bomgar is a secure platform for enterprise remote support, [Click Comments To Continue]
I moved this weekend from the place I’ve lived for the better part of five years. It’s sort of sad because I used to love the Townes at Herndon – until I moved into the townhouse we were in this past year. First of all, when we moved in – there were cockroaches everywhere. We eliminated the cockroaches, but then in September our A/C went out, and no matter how many tickets I put in, it never got fixed. In fact, the last time, they guy came and [Click Comments To Continue]
This weekend I’m moving from the townhouse I’ve been in forever, to an apartment across town. It’s not the ideal situation – but it’s the one that will keep me local for another year for the least amount of money. It also keeps my roommates and I together, which was a huge sticking point with whatever place I got. The problem is, I have a 3 bedroom townhouse worth of stuff, that I’m migrating to a 3 bedroom apartment. You know what that means [Click Comments To Continue]
Everyone who thinks Kanye, Luhrman and 3D are “inappropriate” for The Great Gatsby either haven’t read it or didn’t understand it. For those of you who need a quick recap on the story of The Great Gatsby, it is the story of three tragic couples, and how love blinds you from reality.

The 2012 Olympic Games in London are fast approaching now, and of course a massive fuss is being made about them. Everywhere you go – there’s commercials for the Olympics with some amazing narrator saying how these people met their dreams and how we can help them if only we use our credit cards. (Really?) Meanwhile people are rumoured to have been bored with the London Olympics since 2008. Actually that’s not a rumor – with no one doing anything [Click Comments To Continue]

For the most part, this weekend was pretty chill. I cleaned, packed, and watched TV. But then Saturday night happened. This weekend the following things may (or may not) have happened on Saturday: – I might have drunk texted an ex of mine to meet me at the bar because I “missed his sexy body”. (Yeah, those were the words.) – Subsequently, I might have set up dinner at Morton’s with said ex for later this week because he couldn’t make [Click Comments To Continue]
Sunday is throw away day in the blogging world. It’s basically the day that our brains has turned to mush and we really don’t have anything of significance to say. That’s why this Sunday, I’m using my blog to put a plea out there for Ryan Johnson, who is currently starring on Fairly Legal on USA. See, there’s really not a whole bunch on the internet about you yet – so there’s actually hope that one day you’ll google yourself and read this. Can [Click Comments To Continue]
