Snowstorm, survived
The record winter storm spawned 2,000 miles across the country, affecting half the states with snow warnings and lower temperatures from the Midwest to Texas. Reportedly, the Northeast got 30 inches of snow. Compared to Ohio’s 4 to 10 inches. Me? I stayed inside with good company, worked from home, ate to my heart’s content…

Love: prefer, want or need
Do you prefer spontaneous kisses on the forehead or being stared at like you’re the only one in the world? Do you prefer someone who cooks for you everyday or someone that surprises you with flowers every once in a while? Do you prefer someone that gives you sweet words all the time or someone…

The aesthete’s first love
It’s like loving a painting just because of the way it makes you feel… You see it,You reflect on it, You get lost inside the canvas with it,You think reality doesn’t exist outside of it. For that brief moment it is your whole world, your complete universe. You take with you an emotion that has nothing to…

The time I participated in the Olympics
Due to a clerical error, my person was confused with an Olympic swimmer with the same name. In a series of comedy-type scenes, where they push you without being able to do anything, I was picked up in a van, gave a duffel bag already packed, was transported to the airport, put in a special…

Missed it, again… 5 minutes, just 5 f-ing minutes
So, I missed my 12am “write one thing every day for a whole year deadline” by 5 minutes. I really cannot accept this one as a failure on my part. Had to answer 2 very important important calls that ate of all my ‘evening writing time’. Plus I spent the whole day cleaning my old…

Move out, move in, same day: Ready, set, go!
Finally, finally, FINALLY moved to a new place; a bigger, prettier, better designed place. It’s THE place. Great location, very walkable, and NO undesirable neighbors (at least everything looks quiet and everybody minds their own business.) The nightmare is over. Peace, serenity and natural lighting will reign. I basically left 70% of my apartment in…

It’s ok to make mistakes, but also make amends
Just a reminder: There is nothing wrong with being wrong and correcting yourself, being ignorant about a subject and learning about it, being for/against and changing your position with new information and experiences. Just because you’re bad today doesn’t mean you’ll always be bad. You have to unlearn and re-learn concepts. Nobody was born knowing…
