That sounds like something way more vulgar than it actually is.
What I’m referring to is something we all can relate to.  It’s when we bite into a Blow Pop (or Tootsie Pop) before it’s ready to be bit into.  We just sometimes get so excited to get to the gum, or to the Tootsie roll [...]

Most strangers on the street don’t really say hello to one another.  Forget actually saying hello, most strangers won’t even smile or acknowledge one another.   Certainly this lack of friendliness tends to exist more in big cities.
I’ve never really been to the South, but from what I hear, people are a lot more friendly to [...]

Ralph’s Supermarket seems to get a lot of mention in my blog, and although I don’t hate the store, it’s not my favorite food store either.
(See posts about Fresh & Easy)
Anyway, many Ralph’s locations here in Los Angeles have elevators in them.  The reason is because many stores have 2nd level parking, and large elevators [...]

There are a couple of go-to phrases you can use when you feel you may have crossed the line when making a joke.
How do you know when you’ve gone too far?  For one thing, if you’re amongst a group of people  — you make a joke, then silence follows.
Before that awkward silence lingers on for [...]

Strange things have been happening the last couple of weeks.  By this I mean I’ve found unopened food just laying on the sidewalk.
Last week I found an unopened Snickers bar just sitting there on the sidewalk.  I picked it up, and decided to give it to the first homeless person I came across.  Surely enough, [...]

Every so often (almost everyday), I’ll find myself in a conversation with someone about my work, my career, my writing, women, sports, guitar, or just about anything that I should probably just give up on hehe….
They’ll be a moment when I feel overwhelmed, and I’ll blurt out something like, “I should probably just give up.”  [...]

I’ve never had much experience dealing with sleepwalkers and sleeptalkers, but the other day a coworker of mine told me a story about sleepwalking.
Basically what she said is that when her (now) husband and her starting dating, he used to walk in his sleep.  Not only did he walk in his sleep, he would actually [...]

This dude I play baseball with recently suffered a pretty gruesome injury —– but it wasn’t caused by something happening on the field.
After being married at least few years now, I have no idea why all of a sudden his wedding band just started to get tight on him –  VERY,VERY TIGHT.   It got to [...]

Fine.  I won’t.  But it’s just because you specifically told me not to….otherwise I might blurt it out.
Sometimes people share personal information about themselves (or others) with me, and apparently it’s often “understood” that I shouldn’t go around repeating this stuff.  Well ya know what, how am I supposed to know this?
I mean, if you [...]

Friend/foolish Phillies fan Jeremy lives in an apartment unit just above the building entrance, facing the front.  In order to let people into the building, they can buzz up from the callbox.  Those trying to get inside are able to communicate with Jeremy, who also has a connected intercom in his unit.
Anyway, if you hold [...]
