Single Island.
Population: Millions.
Location: Far, far away.
Now accepting long-term visitors.
I’ve been single for a while now and while I would love to have that special someone in my life, I’ve come to terms that it may not happen anytime soon. At this point, I’m more optimistic about gas prices returning to under $3 than I am finding a potential life mate.
Life is rough outside of Single Island.
What is Single Island? It’s an imaginary place where all single people reside. One might describe it as paradise. If two residents meet and want to date, they must immediately leave the island. They are free to return in the event that said relationship fails for any reason.
How awesome would it be if such a place existed? Sign me up!
As a member of several popular online dating sites (names unimportant), I’ve made a lot of observations. The most important one being that there are a lot of truly crazy and weird people out there. If these same people are this way online, who the hell wants to date them in real life?! First impressions mean a lot and online profiles do count. Leading a conversation with your penis will get you blocked and reported as inappropriate.
For now, I happily live my life on Single Island, where is happy hour every single day.
With that in mind, I’ll drink to that.

I need help.
There are things in life that I don’t understand. Buying milk and cheese during a snowstorm, chasing tornadoes, and the most baffling one of all, Baby On Board signs.
Yes, Baby On Board signs. Remember those “I Love the…” decade shows that used to air on VH1? These signs were featured on one of those shows. Unfortunately, I remember it well. Yet another black eye in pop culture.
I don’t understand the purpose of them. As a driver, does that mean that I’m supposed to pretend that your car is surrounded by a bubble that cannot be harmed by fellow drivers? Am I expected to start speaking baby babble when I drive past you? Or am I to forgive you driving 55 on the interstate when everyone is doing 75?
Help me understand?!
Make these signs go away!!
I love to drive. What I hate about driving is all the other drivers; specifically the ones that don’t know how to drive. I wanted to share a few things that drivers do (or fail to do) that irritate my soul.
Refusing to move out of the way of an emergency vehicle with lights AND sirens on. Probably because said driver has severe tunnel vision and can’t see anything besides what’s directly in front of them.
What makes you tick behind the wheel?

What gets me ready to do battle for the day. Enjoy!

I am the type of person that will play an album to DEATH!! I’ll know every word and ad-lib by the time I’m done obsessing over it. Last night, I downloaded Emeli Sande’s album “Our Version of Events” after hearing her music on one of VH1’s TV shows.
Sidebar For the life of me, I can’t remember if it was “Single Ladies” or “Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta”. **
The emotion in her voice strikes a nerve with me. The tracks that had me screaming “Yassssssss” in my head:
“Where I Sleep”
“Read All About It”
“Suitcase”
I’m not a big fan of radio since it’s the same songs being played over and over (and over) again. Most of the music I’m obsessed with comes from TV shows, movies, various online forums and of course, Twitter. If you have any artists you’re obsessing over, let me know.
Check, check, check ya later!
Tonight I participated in a weekly Twitter chat with one of my favorite authors Aliya S. King. She challenged her followers to a #30in30 writing challenge in which participants are challenged to write for 30 days straight. I was beyond excited about this post for several reasons.
All three of these reasons are curses to a writer, amateur or professional. The #30in30 challenge is going to force me to work past the mental roadblocks that prevent all of this awesomeness from being shared with the world. I’m hellbent on making the absolute most of these 30 days. I feel sorry for the pens and papers that will be sacrificed for the greater good.
Let’s take a moment of silence for all the ballpoints and single rule paper out there.
Chat with you later.
