Coffee Shops

As I write this, I’m sitting at a Cosi.  For those that’s never been there, its like a combination of Starbucks and Panera Bread where you can get everything from a latte to a flatbread pizza.  It’s definitely a destination spot with comfortable chairs, warm color schemes and of course, free WiFi.  The good folks at Cosi expect you to purchase a few things and then spend a few hours taking care of whatever business that you want.  Usually around this time, if I’m not eating, I’m watching television or playing Playstation.  Spending a few hours at Cosi is definitely not on my short list of things to do; yet I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else in the world.  Why?

Why we creep...

Settling.

I can’t remember the last time that I met a woman who hasn’t been cheated on.  You let most women give the statistic and they will tell you that 99.9% of men cheat and the final 0.1% are impotent.  In a world where David Letterman and Tiger Woods have made stepping out famous, it seems that every relationship is doomed.  I won’t bother to disagree or attempt to defend the virtues of the male species,  but I will provide an answer to the age-old question that haunts women in their dreams.  Why do men cheat?  The answer is simple.

Making you cry...

Love/Work

Would’ve came back for you

I just needed time, to do what I had to do

Caught in the life, I can’t let it go

Whether that’s right, I will never know

Hope you forgive me, never meant wrong

Tried to be patient, it waited too long

But I would’ve came back, would’ve came back for you

- Drake, “Paris Morton Music” (2010)

Stop me if you heard this before…

“I want to be with you, but I’m focused on my career right now”

It is said that men avoid commitment and they use their career as an excuse.  Well being a man who has done the former and has been accused of the latter, I am here to tell you… don’t believe everything that you hear.

She keeps on passing me by....

Find Your Love

Let me ask you a question, do you think that you’ve already met the person that you will spend your life with, or has that person not entered your life yet?  Take some time to think about it – your answer may say more about who you are than you think.

1/2 on a baby.

Dilemma.

I recently had a conversation with someone about the infamous “biological clock” that apparently ticks in every woman once she hits her mid-20’s.  For the longest time I just thought the whole clock thing was all psychological – social pressure placed on women to become wives and mothers.  But the truth is, this biological clock is real and has consequences.  Having a child over the age of 35 can increase the chances of a troubled pregnancy and possibly jeopardize the health of the baby.  I’ve had this conversation many times before but I don’t know what made this particular one different.  But since that day, I kept asking myself…

You know you're thinking about it.

Let’s Talk About It

Inadequate sex is a deal breaker.

Given that fact, you have two types of people – people who get it and have no complaints and people that don’t and wonder why they're alone or keep getting cheated on.  People love to trivialize sex and make others feel “shallow” when they discuss it.  Not only does every person think about it every day, but sex is a billion dollar industry.  Bottom line, it’s a big deal and its time for you to take it more seriously.

Roses are red, violets are... blah blah blah

Cupid Who?

Valentine’s Day sucks.

There I said it.  I know a lot of you feel the same way but are too scared to say it out loud.  It’s basically a random day that someone created just so all of us can go out and spend millions of dollars on stuff.  It’s all made up.  Even the history surrounding the actual St. Valentine is murky at best.  So what are we left with?  24 hours of forced social pressure to show public affection.   You also have two groups of people on V-Day.  Either you feel it necessary to express your love ad nauseam or you’re single and openly protest love and explain why life is so much better because you can be promiscuous.
