The last 2-3 years I lived in Los Angeles I felt restless, too often bitter and on edge. A large part of those feelings were due to the incredibly heinous traffic. It was such an ingrained part of my daily life and it wasn’t healthy. I read the stats and I know from experience. It’s … Continue reading »
Damn my need to experience things for myself. When I announced I was leaving Los Angeles and heading up to the Bay Area, a few people encouraged me to consider living in the East Bay. [For those unfamiliar with the area, here’s a simple analogy. San Francisco is like Manhattan. It’s the flagship city of … Continue reading »
It’s always funny to me how, when catching up with friends, they’ll sometimes ask “So, how are the kitties?” The answer is always a (thankfully) boring, “Oh, they’re good. Healthy.” But, why do we ask about each other’s pets? They are very simple creatures. They eat, drink, play, sleep, whine to eat more, shed, and … Continue reading »
I have something cheesy to share. We all have our moments of doubt, where we feel like we’re not good enough or pretty enough or whatever-it-is enough. This starts so early, this self-doubt. It becomes like a shadow that follows us around to rain on our parade from time-to-time. Trip us up. Cause us grief. … Continue reading »
I officially have my first San Francisco friend! I’m a couple of weeks shy of my 6-month marker of living in the City and I can now boast a new friend. This friend was hard-earned. I am not a hermit, I am not shy, I smile at strangers, I say nice things to people, I shower regularly and … Continue reading »
Much like dating, the search for friends is filled with highs and lows, wins and losses. If you’re lucky, you meet your soulmate(s) right out of the gate. Unfortunately – and probably more likely – you end up wading through a lot of muck in search of your new mate(s). I joined a “private social … Continue reading »
I’ve been living in San Francisco a little over four months. I had five immediate goals when I arrived: Unpack box-partment and decorate within six weeks of move in – Did it in five. Don’t get fired (or maybe it was “do well at work”. Still, end result is, don’t get fired.)– still employed Find a … Continue reading »
Racists really need to update their stereotype references. When it comes to black people at least, they seem stuck on…well they’re stuck on stupid, as we all know, but also stuck in the old days. Music evolves, the amount of clothing women wear (or don’t wear) evolves, our language evolves, yet racist Americans don’t appear … Continue reading »
I was IMing with a co-worker last week about the absurdity of business jargon. How ridiculous is business-speak? I envision that somewhere there is a committee of Seth Rogan-types who secretly hate their jobs and sit around in a slacker lair inventing dumb shit for business people to say. Stuff that will secretly crack them … Continue reading »
A couple of years ago I had an intense crisis of conscious moment while waiting for the bus in North Hollywood. Returning from a beer festival, I’d opted to be a responsible citizen and take public transportation rather than drive. I don’t know what the stats are, but few people in Los Angeles take public … Continue reading »
