Dating Sux….Well Not Really But People Suck At Dating

One of the most difficult things to figure out in relationships with other people(well more specifically that special someone), is what to do or how to go about it. The ‘it’ I am referring to is taking that next step. It’s that ‘dangerous’ step of moving into a more intimate realm that friendships never really […]

Becoming All Things…Means To Love Foremost

I have become all things to all men, that I might by all means save some. 1 Cor 9:22 Don’t let this verse from the Bible scare you away if religion isn’t your thing. I’m not going the preachy route with this. What I do want to say is that this verse has always been […]

Marching For Life? Marching For Divisions

I’m going to take a break from my normal postings to speak on the March for Life, which as a Catholic, is sort of a huge deal. (Don’t let my mention of Catholicism chase you away, hear me out). Before I continue, I will say that I respect the March insofar as what it stands […]

Men, Forget The Beards, Sports, Beer and Paycheck

Men are not what we do, are not how we look, are not where we work. Men are how they act. This again may seem sorta simple to you, the reader, but it’s an important thing to note. Men are told relentlessly how to be. We are given stereotypes and generalizations of what men should […]

Women Don’t Need Protection, They Need Intimacy

Alright, so I expect some Christian gentlemen to get on my case about this title. Or I even expect to hear a small outcry from Catholics over this post.(Maybe I’ve giving myself too much credit) With the 41st anniversary of Roe v. Wade coming up in the next week, many may oppose me on this […]

Love, Risk and Other Nonsense…

“Of course I’ll hurt you. Of course you’ll hurt me. Of course we will hurt each other. But this is the very condition of existence. To become spring, means accepting the risk of winter. To become presence, means accepting the risk of absence.” -The Little Prince This quote has stayed with me the past couple […]

Resolution or Revolution?: Understanding What New Year is

Ok, well it’s the 4th of January of 2014 and I guess the cynical thing to ask is what sort of NY resolutions have already fallen to the wayside. But you know what? I don’t care about that. As much as people scoff on New Year resolutions(which I’ve seen a lot of cynicism toward them […]

That Obligatory NY Post Or Is It?

Well, here we are! New Year’s Eve! Let’s give each other a pat on the back from surviving another insane, crazy year of Life. Yet, as we all turn to look at this coming year and whatever new twist or trick that 2014 may hold for us, it would do us well to look back […]

Families: What Happens To Them and What They Give Us

Around this time of year I think a lot about family and what that means to me. For those of you that don’t know(and how would you?), my family is far from the picture perfect ideal that a family could be. And this is purely for you as the reader to have a clear, honest […]

What Zombies and Supermodels Gave Me.

Well, I won’t say that I’ve been reading all day here. I have been reading at a break-neck pace though, since I got home from break. I’ve read about 7 books, all in about a week and a half. I just make sure to carve out some time to read, which usually means I’ve been […]
