Ever since I published Cool Things of the Decade, I’ve been thinking about the events I chose and the reasons why. I wish I could better articulate why. I mean, why choose losing your virginity over the first time you said, “I love you” and meant it? Maybe I’m not such a romantic sap after […]
Like many, it hit me a bit late that this was the end of a decade. Although the Top 10 lists are overdone and even more so for the Decade Lists, I still wanted to document one cool thing for each year. 2000: Named Editor of the Year 2001: Lost my virginity 2002: Became a […]

Ahhh, the roller coaster of emotions I had this week. Yeah, girls are crazy and fickle. This is clearly proof
I was rereading my blog tonight and stumbled upon my When I was 10 post. In it, I pondered: What happened to the wild imaginations we had when we were kids? As adults, we automatically and immediately put up road blocks to things that we think are “impossible.” But, are they really impossible or is […]
I love the infamous quote by Marilyn Monroe: I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can’t handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don’t deserve me at my best. I make a lot of mistakes. And even before 2006, I was out […]
