I feel a bit tired today. The same way I imagine you must be feeling after being pummeled by my emotional recounting of the early years. I’ve said this before and I’m going to say it again. I think it’s important that we revisit what’s gone on in our lives, not as a mechanism for… Continue reading B.G. (Before Google).

I would absolutely love to tell you that I drew a line in the sand and told Vinny under no uncertain terms I was done with our shenanigans. I didn’t. That never happened. Instead, I was just sort of left. Not even in a dramatic way. More in a fade into the darkness kind of… Continue reading But I’m a creep.

I lightly touched on the point that a high school connection didn’t have a clue that Vinny and I were ever involved. I’m not sure that I mentioned her close connection to Vinny. They were friends in high school. Close friends really. So when I read her text message whereas she disclaimed knowledge that there… Continue reading Supersucker.

I’m not moving completely away from the Vinny storyline. I am making a brief rest stop elsewhere, but it is related and relevant and necessary. We have this saying in my family: “everything before the ‘but’ is bullshit”. I feel confident that the Fisher clan didn’t conceptualize this little nugget, but they certainly get credit… Continue reading Everything before the but…

I introduced you to Mike last go around. Maybe that feels far away for you because that was Friday and today is Monday and you did a whole bunch of shit in between. I recognize the feasibility of that feeling. Even though weekends look different these days, I do still have many a moment where… Continue reading The Magnets – Part I.

I think we know each other well enough by this point that you fully understand that I am not a pitchfork wielding man-hater. Not even close. Part of the pain that I’ve felt and continue to feel is that I am an equal opportunist when it comes to humans. I adore and I’ve been massacred… Continue reading A Vessel.

I want to tell you more about the dynamic trio. I want to tell you all the things about all the men, but I want to stay on them for just a little. I think. Why are they so important? There are a couple of reasons. Most notably, I met them during my formative years.… Continue reading Mike.

I feel like now would be a good time to tell you that I have more gentlemen on my list. I do. Not just romantic relationships either. I’ve had impactful relationships with men at every juncture, and women for that matter. That’s the thing about relationships that we often refuse to really accept or absorb… Continue reading Rest Stop.

Hey. Are you ready for another dose of ‘name that beau’? No? Well, sorry. It’s coming ‘atcha whether you like it or not. ZACH! Yup. Zach. I don’t feel compelled to change his name. I’m not sure why except that I just don’t need to or want to. He was beautiful. Are you sensing a… Continue reading Zach.

You guyssssss, I screwed up. I could tell you it’s because I’ve been tired and that would be true. Actually, that’s likely why it occurred. However, I feel like a correction is in order. Only those closest to me would know that Bobby was shithead #3 and not #1, but that’s sort of irrelevant. I… Continue reading Derrick.
