Have you ever had a messy roommate? Or perhaps, you were a messy roommate. I am the latter. I bought some tomatoes on the vine and left them on a bottom shelf for days and days. They were kinda out of sight and I didn't bother checking up on them. I didn't use them and they went bad. The seeds... Sign in to see full entry.

I don't care for movie theaters. They are the worst place to see a movie because: 1. Need to hire a babysitter just so you can go. 2. Stand in line for tickets. 3. Pay too much for tickets. 4. Pay too much for refreshments. 5. Sit in a big dark room full of strangers. 6. Endure dozens of commercials... Sign in to see full entry.

It's finally dawning on me what little self-worth I have had all my life. I did not see myself as being worthy of the best and I didn't respect myself enough to strive for the best in anything.

Why does it bother a man when his woman earns more than he does? I hear men say "If my wife ever made more than me, I'd be happy because it just means more for me." They all say that, but when they actually end up in such a situation they're miserable. I know a man in that situation right now. His... Sign in to see full entry.

This weekend I moved into a new apartment out of desparation. I was renting a room from and living with a friend in her two-bedroom condo. We had a disagreement in early April and she asked me to leave and gave me until the end of April to do so. I got a new roommate and we moved into a new... Sign in to see full entry.
