It’s no secret that unemployment rates haven’t been this high since Reagan. I, myself, wish I had been stock-market-savvy and invested in companies that run online job search engines. But I didn’t, so I’ve spent the past year bouncing from job to job hoping the experience I get from each one will bring me closer [...]

My neighbors don’t know me. They don’t know my name, where I work, or even a phone number to call if something unfortunate happens. My home is my personal sanctuary where I can walk around naked, sing silly songs to my couch-potato bulldog and watch cheesy ‘90s movies without being judged by the middle-aged families [...]

I got a useless piece of advertising spam e-mail from Amazon.com this morning pitching Kindle for PC (beta). It said, “Read Kindle books – no Kindle required.” The ad went on to say, “As someone who has shown interest in Kindle, we thought you should know that you can read Kindle books wherever you go [...]

Jay-Z is just about the last person on earth that I would take advice from. Normally. However, today is a day where I need to brush my shoulders off in a most excessive way. Ladies is pimps too, go on brush your shoulders off. Ladies, I encourage you to get that dirt off your shoulders [...]

Now that it’s March, I just got around to picking up my February copy of Skirt! Magazine (then added the March issue to the mounting pile on my desk that needs attention). Skirt! Magazine is, in their own words, “All about women…their work, play, families, creativity, style, health and wealth, bodies and souls. Skirt! is [...]

Yesterday, I was running down a California beach boardwalk in a running bra and name-brand shorts and shoes. The beating sun brought out the highlights in my swishing ponytail as I flashed a smile at those I passed, my long bronzed legs stretching gracefully in perfect stride. I felt absolutely like a fit celebrity with [...]

I heard Taylor Swift’s “Fifteen” on my car radio the other day and did my customary in-vehicle chair dance. Her cutesy songwriting always takes me back and reminds me of more innocent times, ten years ago when I was fifteen. I thought, “Awww, little Taylor Swift….what a cutie. She’s so sweet and adorable and talented [...]

The season when the shadows shorten, the days get longer and nature stirs is approaching: Spring. Our planet is increasing its tilt toward the sun as we speak, and the snow, frost and ice will soon lose the battle between the two warring seasons. If you’re scratching your head, thinking “Spring?” and trying to remember the [...]

Photographed for the 2010 Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue in tiny bra-and-panty-like bikinis, snowboarder Hannah Teter looks kind of like a deer, a hot deer, caught in headlights. In one photo she appears to be on the verge of masturbating. Teter said she had a blast on the photo shoot, and even her brother was able [...]

In the car world, there’s always something better just over the horizon. Oh, you just got the 2010 Cadillac Escalade Hybrid? That stinks; they just came out with the 2015 version. And it can fly. Personal vehicles are one of the hardest “keeping up with the Jonses” things to actually keep up with. They’re expensive, [...]
