Perils of Online Dating: Match.com
OK, so you’ve just broken up with your boyfriend. You’ve been shoveling Ben and Jerry’s down your throat for a month now, and you’ve watched Ever After a total of 18 times. It’s time to move on. Problem is, you’ve forgotten how to meet people.

At least, that’s how you remember it.

Singin’ the Blues
I went to the Rusty Nail for the First time Ever on Tuesday It just so happens that every Tuesday, and every 1st Saturday at 8pm, The Rusty Nail hosts a Blues Jam. Having never been to a blues jam before (or the Rusty Nail for that matter), I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect. […]
The Method to my Madness
If you approach a situation with “how can I help you?” instead of “how can you help me?” you’ll earn more respect from your peers, and they’ll think of you first when they hear of an opportunity that might benefit you.
