With or Without You

I consider my ability to forgive to be an affliction. Like halitosis. Dengue fever. It’s the result of years of screwing up, of acknowledging my vast weaknesses, and not just those involving Pinot or Diet Coke. We all fail; we all fall short. We all don’t respond when we should, when the need is stated. [...]

Slip

Marlboro and I had breakup sex last night. Pinot Grigio invited us both to her place and before I knew it there he was. I’m not going to lie; it was good to be close to him, his lean body, his sweet smell. Things were comfortable and there’s something to be said for familiarity. Cheap, [...]

Further evidence that the hairballs may have reached my brain

There’s no lying on this site. You know this, right? Well, this morning I saw the divine image of Madonna on my shower door.
