How I Met Your Mother II
When I was 16 I thought that maybe I'd get lucky and meet someone in the last two years of high school. We'd go to college together, get married (and not have sex until then), get jobs, travel a little, get a house, have kids, and live happily ever after. Typical American Dream ( Read more... ) -
How I Met Your Mother
I feel compelled to write this, as the rest of the internet does not seem to get the point. Life is not perfect, it does not go according to plan, and the ending is never how you expect it to be. Jobs get in the way, relationships fail, you fall in and out of love, and people die. You have to keep hoping things will get better, though, and you have ( Read more... ) -

2012

I've struggled with giving up early adulthood and being forced into the next phase of life when I'm just not ready. Even though I can't get my 20's back, there's ( Read more... ) -
2011
Well, 2011 was the worst year of my adult life. I made a couple of bad decisions, I changed jobs, and I had my heart broken twice. My new company went into bankruptcy protection. I spent the entire year living in my parents' basement, in hotels, and in a crowded crashpad in Queens. I turned 29. I've been disappointed more times than I can ( Read more... ) -

Well, what a change of events this year. Tonight Anne-Marie and I are moving into an apartment in Frederick, MD together. Yes, what a change indeed.
