Confession #7
I lived with a girlfriend for about a year and a half. For the most part, it was very, very easy. I’m not quite sure what types of quibbles other couples have when they live with one another, but C and I simply didn’t have them. We lived together really well. Having two bathrooms certainly [...]
Confession #6
I don’t eat at parties. Nor receptions, nor happy hours, nor cocktails, nor house parties. I don’t eat at them. This may not seem like that big of a confession, but let me let you in on the weirdness: Tonight a few coworkers hosted a surprise party for an intern who is leaving. I made [...]

I was a starter on my school’s soccer team back then, and we had just finished one of our many away games. The night had been almost perfect for me—the crisp night air, the perfectly manicured grass, [...]
Confession #2

Confession #1
This entry is the first in what I hope to be a regular series that delves deeper into myself. I’m going to be publicly introspective to see if that helps me improve the man I am and the man I hope to be. I really don’t like going out of my way for people. Friends, [...]
