I am one of those people who will have a ton of ideas at one time, then lose all of them the moment I pick up a pen or sit in front of a computer. Thankfully, this week I remembered one trick I used to use to get the ball rolling in the right direction: … Continue reading The Joys of a Free Write

Infidelity: It Wasn’t Me
It may be safe to say that one of the biggest problems in romantic relationships is infidelity, or cheating. People constantly worry about who their mate is talking to, who they are attached to, sleeping with, thinking about sleeping with, spending too much time with, and so on. People wonder if they're going to … Continue reading Infidelity: It Wasn’t Me
Everything is Everything
I wasn't going to write today, not unless it was an academic necessity, but I have a thought I need to get out of my head.

For those who may not have read Part One of this series, allow me to briefly summarize: Women sometimes do stupid stuff when it comes to matters of the heart. Including marking their territory (e.g. leaving personal items in their men's cars and homes as a way to "claim" them and deter female pursuers). I highly … Continue reading Do You REALLY Need to Mark Your Territory? Pt. 2: Facebook and Other Evils
Do You REALLY Need to Mark Your Territory? Pt. 1
Before I dive into this one, I want to make something very clear: Though I'm a woman, I do not condone a lot of the ass backwards stuff members of my gender do when it comes to matters of the heart. Have I participated in some of this ass backwardness? Absolutely. However, as time goes … Continue reading Do You REALLY Need to Mark Your Territory? Pt. 1
