Creative Writing > Memoirs Memoirs: True karaoke stories: 1 of 101
It seemed like a good restaurant. I was as hungry as a low carb dieter. Nothing like filling your belly over a nice, quiet meal. However, the pipe dream soon became a nightmare.

Creative Writing > Humor Humor: Excuses not to write: 3 of 38
It's that awful time again when I sit down at the computer, hoping to come up with a clever column. The problem is, I've got nothing. I'm just not feeling it right now. I'm not motivated to write about global warming, politics, the economy or even football. Crazy, isn't it? Sorry. It's just that nothing's biting me, w... More..

Relationships & Family > Dating Commentary Making the most of the dating game: 1 of 5
Welcome to the world of dating. If you've never entered this domain you may wish to drop to your knees and give thanks to Saint Casanova. The sad fact is that it can be very brutal. It often leads to pain, remorse, depression and in extreme cases a gallon overdose of Ben and Jerry's Pecan Cookie Crunch. The first step toward... More..
Creative Writing > Humor Humor: Global warming: 3 of 13
This global warming thing doesn't sound that bad. I don't know about you, but I get cold easily, so I welcome the heat. It's why I moved to California along with being able to get a yummy burrito. I lived back east for a long time and stepping outside every winter morning was like having a frozen hamburger patty pressed to yo... More..

The one who thought I could do whatever I wanted in life without consequences, until you sent that oncoming car my way.I might not even have believed that you exist, except I ma... More..
Relationships & Family > Marriage Psychology Why get married: 10 of 28
With the divorce rate over fifty percent, should people get married? I say, why not? What the hell else is there to do? Really...What else is there to do? You can't play football your whole life (I don't care how big a girl you are). You can't hit the bars every night. (Man, your liver needs a holiday, too). People are lonel... More..
