Introduction

Some say the best ideas come from happy hours; I say they come from coffee shops - which is precisely where the idea for this blog began (thank you, Tianna). Let's be frank. If it was a real happy hour, neither you nor I would remember any of our ideas.

So why this blog? I already have 3 others that I've invested time in before giving up on, so clearly I don't understand the word "commitment". I do love writing, however, but my day-to-day unfortunately doesn't allow for a lot of creativity, at least outside of whatever wit I can insert into email replies. I've realized I need to capture my learnings - from the drama I observe in a highly-emotional work team, to my forays into online dating, or just my general musings/epiphanies/rants. That crystallized intelligence has to go somewhere, and it might as well come with a "share" button.

I've decided this blog isn't going to be about anything in particular, because you really can't compartmentalize your life. In addition to my aforementioned statement of purpose, you can expect to read about my travels abroad, the delectable restaurants and hot spots I have the fortune to enter, pet peeves and ways to deal, my concrete belief in the power of positive energy/motivational quotes/all things warm and fuzzy, dating how-to's and probably some of the worst date stories you will ever read, and general advice I would like to give to the world. If any of that tickles your fancy, I invite you to read on - immerse, indulge, and inoculate yourself.
