The Long Facebook Fart
Six years ago, I titled this post Why I Went Back to Myspace and Began Tweeting, saved it as a draft, and forgot about it. Well, guess what, I’m back to somewhat wrap up this piece and let it be great. Facebook is a place i rarely go. Why? Because I don’t want to scroll…
Six Easy Ways of Decency
Host social gatherings that leave the guests walking out happier than when they arrived. Doing this will keep your social skills sharp, because believe me, we all need them. Use anger to your advantage. Anger is your call to action. Don’t react; think about strategy and respond in a smart way. Practice active listening. This…
The Friendless Man
Back in 2008, I posted my take on the principle “Never Marry a Man Who Has No Friends.” For those click link commitment phobes: to sum it all up, men who do not have close bonds with others usually have intimacy issues and lackluster communication habits. Father Pat Conner, and forget religion here- it’s not…
Meet The Internet
Bored? The Internet is just a click away. The act of signing online has radically changed into basically always being online. The internet is no longer closely associated with desktop computers.

Why is there a Chainsaw in the Kitchen? (On loving a hoarder)
I love my father. He is a wonderful man: funny, thoughtful, and loving. Also: He is a hoarder. Yes, like the kind you see on cable tv, except not so bad as to have rat infestations or raw sewage flowing through the house. No. None of that. Dad is the guy you see huddled over…
Cat Marnell on the Death of Whitney Houston
Cat Marnell on the Death of Whitney Houston Cat Marnell is one of my favorite writers. For many reasons. When Whitney Houston died of long-term drug abuse, many bloggers covered her life, but Cat Marnell (formerly of xoJane) wrote a truly insightful piece that illuminated the silence of drug addiction. Check this out. It’s pretty…
How to Stop Worrying!
I come from a long line of worrywarts. My cousin describes this nervous depression as “analysis paralysis,” and the entire side of my mom’s family suffers from this counterproductive affliction. Trust me. It sucks! I spend so much time worrying. When I can’t worry myself into a completed status on one issue, I just switch…
