Tonight, We Drink (in moderation).
The ban has been lifted. This evening, at 7:30PM, Geoff and I and a few of our trusted friends will engage our first adult beverage in 11 days. So it wasn’t a full two weeks, but we have a rehearsal dinner and wedding this weekend, so, you know, we gotta live.
Things I learned in these 11 days:
1. I ache for coffee. I just sort of long for booze.
2. I am a highly skilled Taboo player...

"We Are The 99%" - The Anthem.
Little known fact – my college thesis was about protest music! I was experiencing extreme senioritis when I wrote it, so I think I got like a B+/A-, but that is neither here nor there. The point is, as I’ve been watching the Occupy Wall Street protest grow and gain traction, I can’t help but think that what this movement really needs is a modern day Woody Guthrie/The Clash/Bruce Springsteen. You...

Notes on The Protest
On Saturday we headed to Times Square for the protest party. We expected a large crowd, lots of confusion, the uneasy feeling of crowds in a crowded place, and perhaps some cops with attitudes watching over a drum circle.
What we got was pretty much that, along with a deep sense of irony about voluntarily going to Times Square on the weekend.
The diversity of the protestors is one of the...

Day 5 of No Booze.
It’s Friday night. Had a busy work week. It’s pouring outside. I’m wearing my party sweater. I want wine.
But no. Must be strong.

What we are watching when we watch the Kardashians
I can see why everyone finds the Kardashians so hypnotic. They have all these nice things and everything seems so clean and new and different from everything you own. They’re like that rich friend you had growing up who’s mom had champagne taste. Black sequins. Marble counter tops in the bathroom. Everyone has perfect teeth and hair.
But I have been secret watching this show...

Civil Rights: How Could Anyone Be Against Gay... →
One reason why some people oppose same-sex marriage is that they’ve never met a happy, loving gay couple or family. That’s what the Campaign for Southern Equality is trying to change with the WE DO Campaign. For the past 10 days, same-sex couples in Asheville, North Carolina have been showing up…

A New York Kind of Jealous
We’re going to visit my lifelong best friend and her husband in North Carolina in a few weeks. She sent me pictures of their newish house…and ugh. Knowing what they pay in rent is the first part, looking at all the space, nature, and coziness they have is another. While I wouldn’t make the trade just yet, I think a common feeling a lot of New Yorkers have is country lust. Get Us...

Day 3 of No Booze
Okay, I love it. I knew I would. Last night I went to bed at 10pm, woke up at 7:30am - well rested and ready to conquer the world. I’ve already read this giant essay, paid some student loans, did some client work, and drank a soy pumpkin spice latte. I feel pretty certain that at this rate, I will be 85% more Beyonce by Monday.
85% MORE BEYONCE!

NEVERMIND!!! I'LL FIND SOMEONE LIKE YOU!!! (DON'T...
Do you think some unbalanced people hear Adele’s ‘Someone Like You’ and are inspired to show up at their ex’s place of work and sing the song and/or try to reconcile? I mean, it sort of brings out the break up crazies in all of us, right?

On Giving Up (the hooch)
Me and my DP (domestic partner, duh, pictured above) are giving up booze for the next two weeks. It’s sort of an experiment with the question, “will this make us better, more well adjusted people?” I know some people never drink, and some people who drink give it up for a really long time (I have a friend on an intense diet and she hasn’t drank for MONTHS)… but um,...

You can probably guess.
Also, no, we did not feed the cat wine.

Sauna Talk
I was in the sauna at the gym today and I saw a cockroach crawling down the wall. I did not scream, but I also did not like how almost naked I was, and where that little jerk could be headed.
Needless to say, I bolted out of there.
Probably the worst part of being a cockroach is that scantily clad women are always screaming at you. You’re the original Forever Alone.
Then again, I go to a...

I have a question...
How do you measure success? I have my own opinions, but I am curious about what you think. Money? Fame? HAPPINESS (naw)…what is it?

Career Change Advice (I am an expert...) →
One of my clients is the incredible company Pretty Padded Room. They offer online therapy sessions and services to people who are too busy to get to the doc’s couch every week. As someone in a live-in relationship with a therapist, I find it particularly amusing that I get to do content development, digital marketing, and strategy for the internet version of Geoff’s real-life...
