Get your priorities straight.
Ever had one of those days where tasks just keep piling and piling and piling and you’d rather stab yourself in the face with a butter knife than even attempt to sort through all of them? You know, the days when a million different people are asking you to do a million different things and you don’t even know where to start so you just keep taking bathroom breaks in order to avoid the inevitable mound of work that’s piling up?
Online Dating Chronicles: I’m not gay.
I knew this could potentially happen. I guess I just put a little more faith in the dating site’s regulations — you know, I have settings so people who don’t have profile pictures, want open-relationships, are looking for sex partners, cannot message...
Book Review: Delivering Happiness
Delivering Happiness, written by Tony Hsieh (pronounced Shay), the CEO of Zappos.com, is about much more than one of Fortune magazine’s top 25 companies to work for. It’s about more than Amazon’s acquisition of the company valued at over $1.2 billion. It’s about more than making money and starting a company. In fact, this book is about starting from scratch. It’s about trusting strangers. It’s about taking giant leaps, and hoping for success. Most importantly, it’s about happiness. Discovering it, and distributing it around the world.

Online Dating Chronicles: Really?
I received this message this morning: I wish I could say the same about...
Book Review: Eat, Pray, Love
I was a little late on the bandwagon of Elizabeth Gilbert’s Eat, Pray, Love, but I did hop on. And it was quite a ride.
A brief synopsis: Elizabeth went through a terrible divorce, which she doesn’t divulge much about. It almost came across as if she woke up one morning crying in the bathroom and wanted a divorce. There is no backlog as to why this marriage was so miserable – but it laid the foundation for her journey around the world to find “a balance between worldly enjoyment and divine transcendence.”
Online Dating Chronicles: SCORE!
This email arrived in my inbox this morning and totally cracked me up: I’ll now see more attractive people in my match results? WOOHOO!...
Online Dating Chronicles: Best IM Ever
I received this IM from a complete stranger. Have never spoken to him (online or otherwise) before. Ever. LAChicago: hey you wanna go halfsies with me on a baby? Um, no sir. I don’t.
Proud to live in San Francisco
This past weekend was San Francisco Pride 2010. It was my first Pride experience in San Francisco. It was amazing.
As listed on sfpride.org, “The mission of the San Francisco Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Pride Celebration Committee is to educate the world, commemorate our heritage, celebrate our culture, and liberate our people.”
On lying, shrewdness, and being honest with yourself.
My parents always taught me to tell the truth. Under any and all circumstances, never lie. Lying will get you in more trouble than not. Always be honest. No matter the circumstances, honesty always prevails. Always.
