Lately I’ve felt like an old man.
It’s fucking sad. I mean, I used to be able to party all night, go to work the next day, workout, then do it all again the next day. What the hell is going on here? Now if I party all night, I pay the ultimate price the next day.
When I [...]

The title? Yeah. Let’s not even discuss numbers or time lines. Let’s just say the President wasn’t black the last time I got laid.
Cue ice crunching.
The thing is, other than that minor major physical event- I’m completely happy right now with the relationships I have with people in my life. Without getting into a lot [...]

It’s no secret that men and women have, well, some differences. It’s no secret that our bodies don’t look the same and our minds don’t work the same. I had always known this, because, you know, there are some basic reasons that they teach you right off the bat.  
In college, I took a waitressing [...]

Rejection seemed a much more direct process when I was in elementary school. You knew you were no longer in the good books by simple virtue of a missing birthday party invitation, or even a much more blatant “I don’t like you anymore.” Sure, these resulted in a frantic shower of tears at the time, [...]

The first time I’d ever heard anyone refer to the “Walk of Shame” was, not surprisingly, my freshman year of college. I heard this term, which little to my knowledge would become ubiquitous over the next four years, sitting in my friend Jenna’s dorm room before class on a Friday morning. I listened as she [...]

Some people, while kind and polite and every other generic positive characteristic, just aren’t terribly memorable. They are pleasant to sit beside at a dinner party, but you may never have another thought about them once you walk out the door.
I find cities can be the same way. While it is rare that [...]

One of my best friends in the entire universe and I, have spent years perfecting our Top Five. That is, the Top Five men that you adore and want to do inappropriate but highly pleasing things with. Anytime we have time to kill, waiting for a movie to start or stuck in traffic- one of [...]

I was walking out of the elevator in my building one recent afternoon when I heard two girls behind me talking about the cake that they’d just swiped from someone’s birthday party in a nearby conference room.
“I can only have a little bit,” one of the girls said to the other. “I need to save [...]

Someone needs to stop me before this little hobby of mine gets out of control.
Have you heard of the beauty pageant winner in New Jersey, who was writing bad checks to buy antiques? Yeah, that’s almost exactly like me except my checks are good and I am WAY hotter.
Whats up with the beauty queens in Jersey [...]

Confession?
Sometimes this is the only thing that gets me out of bed.
It’s my favourite television moment.
Ever.
What’s yours?

Today’s guest post has been submitted by Jack, a former blogger who is getting his feet wet once again on the interwebs. Maris will be back in action next week!

They say age is just a number, and many times that’s true. Your age, in a very scientific sense, is the quantitative measure of your [...]

When I was 17, I impulsively told a boy I loved him. It was the summer. I was starting college in the fall, and we were dangling our feet off a cliff into the lake, my parents packing up their picnic basket in the distance. We’d been dating for nearly a year, talking on the [...]

This past Friday I found myself thinking about someone who passed away a few years back. There’s only a handful of people in life who you will meet who will have an impact on your life. Ralph, for me was one of them.
Ralph was my boxing trainer for seven years. I remember first starting out [...]
