You’ve probably also had a lot of wildly varying feelings about Valentine’s Day. Or maybe not, maybe you’re cool and calm and collected and utterly unfazed by little things like … More Valentine’s Day Reading List for Singles
I used to keep a stack of ‘Sin’ flashcards in my coat pocket. Gluttony. Selfishness. Anger. Sloth. Greed. Lust. Envy. Pride. Wrath. Neglect. Vanity. Deception. And I’d take them out and go over them, thinking how horrible I’d been that day, ranking them in order of which defined me best. When I talked to people, … More Sins and Secrets
Let me break it down. Previous to welcoming in 2015 I was involved in a few episodes that were less than pretty. A car accident, a victim of major money fraud, to name a few. I was sitting on the toilet in the Tap & Tankard, telling myself that this year wouldn’t be like last year. This year, I’d take over. Whatever that means.

In Philadelphia: ~Part 1~ The cacophony of honks, shouts, winds, buses from the streets of the city are enough to make you re-think your decisions, or not think about them at all. We turned it into music and for one, insane night we seemed to detach ourselves from ourselves and go for broke, you know? … More Peel Rubber
A few months ago I wrote a post in complete and utter anger to Coco Chanel in regards to something she always used to say; “Don’t spend time beating on a wall, hoping it will transform into a door.” No, I’m not taking my words back at all. In fact, f**k you Coco Chanel for your … More ~Well Well Chanel
Mine and my sisters’ mother was quite literally the bees knees, cat’s pyjamas, the peas to my father’s carrots and the cherry on top of our family’s sundae.
