Choice…gift or curse???

Anthony Weiner, Tiger Woods, Arnold Schwarzenegger. Big “news worthy” topics these days. And just why have they been plastered all over the various outlets of mainstream media? For marital indiscretions….of course! Now I don’t know about you, but since it’s on the news, it surely must be worthy of my un-divided attention…right??? WRONG!!!!! Disclaimer: Stephen [...]

Don’t bring the baggage to breakfast.

When it comes to affairs of the heart, it’s tough enough trying to navigate the steps of the dance. This dance, is the interaction between the sexes that love-it or hate-it, must be performed when attempting to make a connection. We’ve all heard that men are from Mars, and Women from Venus. If that’s the [...]

The Friend Zone – Pt 2

A couple of weeks ago I posted a piece on the dreaded Friend Zone. I briefly described what the Friend Zone is, and why it sucks to end up there. Usually, a guy that’s interested in a woman romantically, would rather endure a root canal–sans anesthesia–rather than end up with yet another platonic friend. However, [...]

Have I Ever Told You?

Good morning friends!! It’s that time of year again. Commencement. The time in which the autumn leaves turn a richer hue. The time in which all creatures make a last ditch effort to shake off the dusting of their former selves. This is the day in which WE all want to make damn sure that [...]

Love…. Venti Style

A very good friend of mine celebrated his 40th birthday yesterday. As we sat down to toast him for what is sure to be one of several nights of celebrating, I was introduced to a couple that seemed to be experiencing what one could only describe as a genuine, playful, romantic courtship. The kind that [...]

The Friend Zone Pt 1

The answer is: The one place that’s certain to bring the maximum amount of pain, uncertainty, confusion, and despair to a man. No I’m not talking about the torture chambers deep inside the bowels of Guantanamo Bay, neither am I speaking of the “hole” inside your average maximum security penitentiary. The question is: What is [...]

Lines On Your Face

I’m a huge fan of all things musical. It’s one of my biggest passions in this world, PERIOD! So as I was going through my collection of songs yesterday, I happened upon one of my favorite live albums…Frampton comes Alive, by none other than Peter Frampton. One of my favorite songs off this album is [...]

Cinderfella Pt 1

Once upon a time in a land far away (from Santa Barbara at least) there lived a young man that we’ll call Jim. Jim had two older brothers named Stud and Beefcake. Stud was the type to have his way with women to the point that he resembled the gluttonous types that you see at [...]

A New “Trick” For Getting Women

We’ve all seen them. We’ve heard all about them. We may have even fallen for their schtick. Just who exactly who am I speaking about? The pick-up artists, that’s who. Sure, it’s compelling, being able to woo some poor nubile damsel in the express lane of your local grocer…or being the one guy to actually [...]
