When I started going out to eat on my own, after I had my own job, I learned the basic rules of tipping. It always amazes me how cheap people are, even if they get the best of service. It makes me sad that I live in a country where even the best of work [...]

I make it no secret that I have OCD, or obsessive-compulsive disorder for those of you who really don’t know. I’m anal about how I fold my clothes, how I wash my clothes, how I put things in the food cupboard, how I hang my clothes in my closet, how clean toilet seats are, [...]

One of the weirdest situations I’ve been in since I came to Cleveland was meeting Ness’ ex-girlfriend. We went out for drinks with some friends and that’s how I was introduced to her ex. Since then, her ex has spent the night twice because it was more convenient for her to stay here [...]

I was watching television when there was a knock on the door.  I answer.
Random Guy: I was wondering if you have any band-aids…?
Me: Yea, what size do you need?
Random Guy: Well, big enough to cover this (points to a hickey)
Seriously? That’s just awesome.

One of Ness’ brothers lives just outside of Pittsburgh and invited us to go down for a couple of days for a party he was having.  The last time I went to Pittsburgh I was on a class field trip and I don’t really remember much about it, just bits and pieces.  But anyway…
We left [...]

I’ve been extremely busy this summer, and while that’s great for me, it’s bad for my friends and the internet. Ever since I was introduced to the internet in 6th grade, I’ve been hooked.  If I knew of a 12 step program, I’m sure I would have at least attempted to kick the habit.  It [...]

Ness left today for a bachelorette party in Columbus.  She’s been gone an hour and a half and I’m already going crazy.  I miss her, I’m bored, and then I get sick.
I don’t even remember how long I’ve been having these flare ups of mine.  It’s been at least two or three weeks.  They’ve gotten [...]

Well, it’s been pretty silent around here.  I haven’t really had time to spend on my site, which is a shame because there are so many things going on that I should write about.  There’s a reason things have been hectic for me…I’m starting my own business.  I’m not going to go into details just [...]

Common’s seventh studio album is set to be released later this month on July 31st. “Finding Forever”, like 2005’s “Be”, is produced by Kanye West. As with most of Common’s albums, the lyrics are what drive me to listen to the tracks, and it’s no different with “Finding Forever.”
“Finding Forever” carries with it [...]

About a month ago, I began working on a new version of my site.  I wanted to challenge myself, do something that I’ve never done before, and push my limits.  I’ve done all that and a bit more and I’m very proud of what I’ve done so far.   With each re-design that I’ve previously done, [...]

On Sunday, Ness was still having her migraines.  We went to CVS and grabbed up some Excedrin Migraine medicine because a combination of Ibuprofen and Tylenol just wasn’t doing shit for her headaches.  It worked in 15 minutes.  That was awesome.  She was able to keep her food down and I was relieved, because I [...]

The past few days, Ness has been suffering from some pretty bad migraines.  The kind that make you sleep and puke.  We’ve ended up sleeping more than we should because I go back to sleep when she does.  Needless to say, we’ve been sleeping at least 12 hours a day.  Now our sleeping habits are [...]

Last night, Ness and I went and saw Harry Potter and The Order of The Phoenix along with her dad and her brother. If you’ve seen any of the previous movies, you know that they leave a lot of stuff out of the movies that were in the books. But that’s ok though, [...]

I haven’t seen this around much. Not even Facebook or MySpace does this, even though they have a huge community of trans people using their sites. More sites should do this. It pisses me off when there are only two genders, or worse yet, “Rather Not Say”. Well, of course I’d [...]

Dear Cleveland,
I’d like to tell you about my 4th of July.  Ness, my girlfriend, and I went to a party at a friend’s house and had some awesome food.  My girlfriend decided to surprise me by taking me downtown for the fireworks.  Apparently, it’s good.  We took her dad along, he bought us some beer, [...]

It’s been awhile since I’ve been tagged to do a meme, but then again, I haven’t been around to be tagged.  My buddy Arthus tagged me this time around and I’m going to make it brief.  I don’t even know if I can come up with 8 random facts, so we’ll see.

 I read a lot [...]

Lisa and I were trying to decide the theme for this month’s mixtape, when Ness chimed in with this great idea. This month’s mixtape is all about songs that make you turn the radio up really loud, get you pumped, or you just have to sing along to. And in my case, sometimes [...]

The other day, Ness and I reserved our copies of the last Harry Potter book, Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows, and our countdown began. Now that it’s July, we’ve also started to countdown to the new Harry Potter movie. I’m extremely excited for both. I don’t think words can even begin [...]

I didn’t plan on telling anyone in my family until I actually started to take hormones.  It’s not that I didn’t want to tell them, it’s just that I remember how my parents first reacted when I told them.  I didn’t want to go through that all over again on a bigger scale.
I was talking [...]

Well, I had planned on doing a review of Ryan Adams’ new album, Easy Tiger, but Brad over on thebignoob.com did a little review.  I’m a bit jealous that he’s going to see Ryan perform this, but I’ll just have to wait I suppose.
