Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Freedom: 1 of 32
This quiet man was in my life for such a short period of time, nine, almost ten years. I knew so little about him when he was still alive; I knew he was below average height and weight, but had above average looks and intelligence. I remember women wanting to talk to him when we would go to the grocery store, my mothers frien... More..

With the holiday season upon us, nothing is more satisfying to me and my office comrade's then stuffing my face full of the goodies that satisfied clients bring in.

Entertainment > TV News & Commentary What you're missing when you're missing American Idol: 6 of 18
I couldn't agree with "The Vicki Digest" more. To me, a man of 30, American Idol is an unhealthy addiction. Case and point: Friend calls me up and offers to buy me dinner.

Is cup o' noodle... More..
Creative Writing > Humor Humor: Bad case of the Mondays: 2 of 4
Every Monday for me starts the same way. My alarm goes off at 6:30. I snooze it. I wake up with 20 minutes to be at work (which is exactly how long my commute is). When I realize what's going on, as in, "I'm about to be really Efing late", I usually drop an "f-bomb" loud enough to wake up the whole household. It's not nice of... More..
