The Night I Played Bingo For the First Time and Realized I Was a Giant Pussy

3 Comments 17 May 2013

Guys, I played grownup bingo for the first time yesterday and it hurt. Grownup bingo is not for pussies, but as I learned yesterday, I’m one giant pussy. It takes a brave man or woman to sit in such a high-stress environment surrounded by dialogue boxes of smoke and florescent lights loaned from UT’s football [...]

Urban Outfitters vs. American Apparel: Which Hipster Brand Is Most Ethical?

14 Comments 12 April 2013

I’ve had this blog for years and every month I get an itch to make it more streamlined. Thoughts of starting an editorial calendar dance in my head, but who am I kidding? My brain is about as organized as the basement of some sad sack on A&E’s Hoarders. If I was more organized, I [...]

13 Comments 03 April 2013

The other day, I posted on Hipstercrite’s Facebook page that I had just finished paying off my car, and in a several months, my credit cards too. I’ve written about debt before; like many twenty-somethings, I’ve been strapped with school loans, credit card and car payments for most of my third decade. When you’re facing [...]

How to Overcome Writer’s Block With the Help of Social Media

6 Comments 28 March 2013

I thought that once the film premiered, my creative juices would be flowing like an unbridled river out of every pore in my body. Boy, was I wrong.

Love is the Digestive Cacophony of Eating a Large Mexican Meal

11 Comments 14 February 2013

a note for my sweetheart- throw up all you’d like I don’t write about my boyfriend much anymore because it grosses some folks out. Understandably so- I don’t like reading sappy shit either. Because of this, some dude I know named “Geoff” only comes up occasionally in my blog posts. But it’s Valentine’s Day, dammit, [...]

A New Year, Another Year Older and Am I Happy?

12 Comments 29 January 2013

I’ve been encountering many people who are down in the dumps lately. Maybe it’s seasonal depression, though that’s difficult to diagnose in Austin when January has seen eighty degree temperatures.

Tell Me Your Secrets and I’ll Tell You Mine

24 Comments 18 January 2013

Once in a while I tell secrets on my blog. What the hell am I talking about? I have no secrets. I throw up every thought, feeling and experience like a kid on a roller coaster after gorging him or herself at The Golden Corral.  You’re subjected to the constant diarrhea of my mental flow. [...]
