Who are they?
Nothing is ever their fault and they see nothing wrong with being selfish asses. Bottom-line, they’re good people. They’re most guilty of just being too self-obsessed to realize how they come off. I call them the good-time gang. That’s all they’re usually good for – parties, going out and social events (as long [...]

I’m sleepy, so I’m gonna keep this short.
Last night, I wanted to go out drinking. My best friend is out-of-state for the summer and my other loyal friend was taking care of his sick boyfriend. So, I called my “Good-Time Gang” (see next blog for definition) friend Me, Me, Me. He was working on homework [...]

TRAVESTY: The first guy, I’ll call him travesty, was according to his screen name a hot white boy in L.A. I usually steer clear of guys with [...]

A development executive at the cheap-ass major cable channel I work for took a meeting with me yesterday. I asked for the meeting because I had one of those “why the fuck not” moments that happen a lot here in L.A. I’m stuck in my car, traffic is slow, thinking about my life. I have [...]
