21 Day Brainstorm Blogging Project

Did I ever mention that the adage, “If it ain’t one thing, it’s something else” will be the title of my future autobiography? Because it seems to apply more to my life than anything else.

Day 10: Playing the Game

by Brando on March 1, 2010

It’s just where I was in his head. I was suddenly drained of all that power I’d had. I began ranting like a mad-(wo)man. I mean, what was the point of the sexual revolution brought on by the 60’s and all this new-age liberal belief that we were in control of our sexual identities and that we should own our desires if, at the end of the day, we had to go slinking back into our Victorian igloos, maintaining a false sense of propriety and blue-balling ourselves mercilessly just to seem pure enough to pull in a man?

Day 5: Coworkers

by Brando on January 27, 2010

So, is it ok to be friends with your coworkers? Has that been figured out yet? Because I know it’s a debate – with some people saying that it’s good to make friends wherever you can find them, and others insisting that you leave work at work. And I suppose the latter makes sense. I [...]
