Look, if you had one shot, or one opportunity to seize everything you ever wanted in one moment Would you capture it? Or just let it slip? Eminem This is my go-to tune when I’m feeling defeated about my writing. Most of the time, it’s all good. I sit down and it flows somewhat comfortably;…
My Daily Life
The Muse
Inspiration is cool. I learned a few things in 2010. One of those things is that when I write about girls I’ve dated, am dating or even flirting with, people will either love it or hate it. There seems to be no middle ground. I’m either The Woomaster or I’m the dude with the shitty…
Happy Festivus
It’s Festivus… for the rest of us! It’s simply the best Effing holiday of the year. Seriously. I first became aware of Festivus at the same time many of you did. It was December 18, 1997 and I was watching Seinfeld. Frank Costanza was explaining the origins of the holiday to Kramer, who of course…
Poker and Jerry Springer
I feel like Ghandi. When did poker become Jerry Springer? Not being able to sleep last night, I decided to fire up the Macbook and played a little online poker. I normally roll into Full Tilt to play because the players are generally pretty cool. That and it’s about the only one I can play…
My rockin one-year-old!!!
I have some stories to tell you, but I will leave them for next time… First off, let me extend a warm welcome to my mom and my brother. Today for the first time they are finding out about the blog. I’ll let you all know how it goes… One year ago today I clicked…
Gambling in Reno
Just before we finished eating, he looked up and asked if he could borrow $200 from me. For seven years I lived in the Bay Area. It’s where Drama Queen was born and while we were there I worked a majority of the time at a Toyota dealer. I started out as a Fleet/Internet Sales…
The Birthday Chick
“Please tell your friend thanks for dinner.” Typically my birthday’s suck ass. I’m not whining about it. I’m simply telling you this as a statement of fact. Tomorrow is my birthday and I have no plans whatsoever. Once again—I’m not complaining. After last year’s birthday I am completely content to plant my ass right on…
Dr. Snippy Snip
We’re having a weenie roast *The Drama Queen comes downstairs before school today and her first words were, “That’s gonna leave a huge hole in the ozone.” Lovely. That’s just how I wanted to start my day. It was a Friday morning back in January and I was scheduled to go see Dr. Snippy Snip. …
An honorary Mexican
He does other guys… Tio Carlos It was Valentines Day 2004 and I was single. (That has absolutely nothing to do with the blog post. I just thought I would throw the info out there.) I woke up that morning, checked my suitcase to make sure I had everything packed, woke up Drama Queen (DQ),…
Unwritten
I break tradition Sometimes my tries Are outside the lines Natasha Bedingfield *It’s called “venting” not “bitching” and it’s cheap therapy. Friday sucked. Thursday completely blew and as a matter of fact the last month has been pretty shitty. There have been some high moments over the past two years, but let’s face it, ever…
Complicated
You’re trying to be cool, you look like a fool to me… Avril Lavigne The original title for this blog post was, “I’m really not a douche”. I know the title may be hard for many of you to believe, but its true. I really am a good guy. I come off edgey at times…
The Brown Eyed Girl
..and a nice long hands holding walk…then find a nice quiet place to *cough* talk The Brown Eyed Girl After reading this you may say, “J.R. this sounds kind of familiar.” It’s not. Trust me. Each lady is unique and special in her own right. Every woman that I date or have any kind of…
The reunion
He came back a few minutes later to see if we wanted drinks and D.Q. said, “Yeah. I want an Oreo milkshake, bitch”. It was a little more than a month ago that I dropped my mom and Drama Queen (D.Q.) off at Buffalo Niagara International Airport for a flight to California. My mom had…
Weekend review
Sometimes reality exceeds even the most vivid imagination… *This is the Readers Digest version of the weekend and for some weird reason is very heavy in food—possibly because I’m hungry right now and possibly because I want to leave some of the details private. Most likely it’s a combination of the two. We have been…
Coming out of the closet
I’m sure if I get any of this wrong, she will be the first to comment in a sarcastic, funny way. That’s why I dig her! What a crazy freakin week it’s been! I learned a new word, “blogmance” and have engaged in some seriously serious flirting. The word of the week seems to be…
The Bachelor
That would be cool. Tonight I’m chilling on Twitter when I should be sleeping, and somehow @karensugarpants darts off course and the topic becomes The Bachelor/Bachelorette and what freakin losers they are. Suddenly, @guavalicious suggests that we start a campaign to make ME the next Bachelor. I like the idea. I start thinking about this…
