This Is My Story

October 31, 2010 eating out

I have written many stories and articles about other people. But sometimes, I wonder what another person would write about me. How do I want to be remembered? If I were to die right now…what would people say about me, I wonder? How many would mourn…and more importantly, how many would celebrate my time here [...]

When there is Loss, there is Gain

October 29, 2010 My story

Thursday, October 28th,  saw me gaining another year to my age. I’m now 23. Thursday, October 28th, also saw me dealing with an overwhelming sense of loss. In truth, everything was the same.

Sexiest Dessert to Impress a Girl

October 19, 2010 Los Angeles

I get into arguments with my housemate Kenny all the time. This guy, Kenny…let’s just say, he is very self-confident..
