Back in my North Carolina days, my friend Nicole told me that she wanted to perform a little experiment. She wanted to sign me up on e-Harmony just to see what would happen. At the time, she had predicted that I would be getting married on a certain date. That prediction was based on little … Continue reading Electronic Harmony

What You Get with Game Shows
In my time off this summer, I've had plenty of opportunities to watch game shows. From The Price Is Right to Wheel of Fortune and, of course, Jeopardy! I'm not complaining about game shows. I have Netflix, too. So if I didn't want to watch game shows, I really don't have to. But I like … Continue reading What You Get with Game Shows
Vision
Where do you see yourself in five years? This is the question that is inevitably asked of every college student at one point or another. Some are asked as rising freshmen. Some are asked as exiting graduates. Many are even asked again once they interview for that job they've been working so hard to get. … Continue reading Vision
Backing Up
I've been the proud owner of three cars in my life. Before those, I drove two of my parents cars. All of those cars have been fairly small vehicles. I like small cars. I like the fact that, in a small car, you can turn on a dime. I've never owned a car that I … Continue reading Backing Up
Absurd
I could air grievances based on the random absurdities I constantly find my life bombarded with. It would be cathartic. But I don't know if that's the right way to do things. So what if I just take a look at myself and examine my own expectations and actions. What is it that I bring … Continue reading Absurd
Soul Mates
I don't believe in soul mates. I really just don't think they exist. I think it's a term full of romantic nonsense that people who like to watch Dawson's Creek enjoy throwing around as if it means something. People end up with who they're attracted to, that's all there is to it. I believe that … Continue reading Soul Mates
Recliner
I used to have a recliner that I never sat in. Okay, never is a big word, and somewhat inappropriate. There were times when I actually did sit in it, but those were rare times. It was a very comfortable chair. It was overstuffed and even rocked. I'm fairly certain I could have fallen asleep … Continue reading Recliner
Scary
I wouldn't necessarily say that I scare easily. Or maybe I do and enjoy that feeling from time to time. The feeling you get after a really good jump scene in a horror movie. Or the feeling you get on a roller coaster. It's kind of a good scared. The scary that really disturbs me, … Continue reading Scary
Worry
Most people I know worry more than I do. I'm generally not a worrier. In fact, when problems come along, I probably don't worry enough about them. But maybe that's a good thing. It's not that I don't get stressed out over stuff. If you've been reading this blog for even a couple months, you … Continue reading Worry
Disconnected
I'm not one who likes to admit when he's addicted to something. Good thing I'm not an alcoholic, 'cause isn't that step one? But when it comes to feeling disconnected, I have to admit that I'm addicted to the internet. I mean, it's not a full-on, I gotta be in front of it every minute … Continue reading Disconnected
