Writing is second nature to me, it’s always been. From the time I learned how to write complete sentences, I became obsessed. I started this blog nearly a decade ago (HOLY FUCK), and I am so grateful that I still have some of the same readers who’ve been down with me since I was shooting in the gym aka on blogspot. Y’all the real MVP. Although far less frequently, I’ll every so often receive a DM or comment on one of my posts that genuinely brings joy to my soul. I’d write 20

It’s refreshing and heartwarming to look around at my friends knowing that despite years of dating fuckbois and cheaters, we all ended up with loving and respectful men. Still, this doesn’t mean we don’t get annoyed by them. One thing most boyfriends just don’t seem to understand is how to take a decent photo. Either they’re an actual photographer or they take pictures with their finger on the lens, no in between. Obviously, these are not deal breakers by any means, just pett

I love me some Snapchat and IG stories. It gives me something to do when I’m bored, and at times I get to live vicariously through others. Unfortunately, there are some people who missed the SnapChat etiquette seminar better known as the common sense. Below is my main gripe with video stories, as well as a few suggestions I have for both platforms. Fast forward function. Both Snapchat and Instagram need to add a fast forward feature like YouTube has. This is beneficial for bo

I traveled to Oahu solo once, and it was probably my second best trip there. My last solo trip was a little different. After much debate and hesitation, I booked a flight to Kauai. Although it’s still Hawaii, it’s one of their more rural islands with less tourists and city life so I envisioned myself stranded on a dirt road with a dead cell phone and no gas. Paranoid much? Always. Not that I thought Kauai was riddled with crime, I’m just a Virgo and worrying is what we do. I

Everytime lent comes around, someone I know usually gives up social media. I used to think this was so stupid. Until one random day, I deleted Instagram and Facebook from my phone. I remember having a session with my hypnotherapist and her asking if there was anything I would like to add to our normal exercise. “Yes, I want to stop obsessing over my phone”. In actuality, I’m not that bad. Compared to other friends who will turn back around to grab their beloved iPhones 10 min

“Don’t let excessive guilt linger” | Guilt can be useful. In small doses, it alerts you to take action to mend a problem in your relationship with another person. But excessive guilt is toxic, in that it wastes your emotional and intellectual energies, distracts you from other tasks, and prevents you from enjoying life. One of the best ways to resolve lingering guilt is to offer an effective apology. Yes, you might have tried apologizing previously, but apologies are more co

I once spent 25 minutes stalking hot girls on Instagram. I scrolled through my feed and clicked on any woman who had a face I wanted to throw a rock at, and body I wanted to feed Kalteen bars to. A few of my favorites are Jessica Burciaga, NikkiBlades, Natalie Halcro, SydneyFashionBlogger, Shay Mitchell, and even the infamous Taz’s Angels. These women look nothing like me. They have mixed backgrounds, and piercing blue/hazel/green eyes. They have pouty lips, shiny thick hair,

An article about the “female douchebag” began circulating the internuts a few weeks ago, and I couldn’t help but laugh knowing I have quite a few on my Instagram feed. And in case you didn’t know, they come in all shapes and sizes, creeds, and colors. While there are so many to choose from, I shamefully admit that I have a few favorites. Starting with: The douchette that sticks out her ass in every fucking picture. OK, we get it: YOU GOT BOOTY! And I’m sure you’re proud of it

Remember Shit Bitches Love Pt I? What about Pt II? Well, it’s been 11 months and we love even more shit now. Colin Kaepernick. Holy fuck do bitches love them some Kaepernick. Dude was a Niner since 2011(?), but struck gold with the ladies last November when he started for Alex Smith and bitches actually knew he existed. Since then, #bitchesbelike #foreverfaithful to the dick. Got females spending tuition money they don’t have and shit just to fly across the country to (not ev

I know I’m not supposed to feed into negativity, but I believe that everyone has a right to lament once a month. I also believe I’m just convincing myself it’s OK to talk a gang of shit right now. At any rate, below are some of my current annoyances, feel free to make me feel less of an asshole by sharing some of your own. 1) This shit right here: #nofilter #nomakeup. Unless it’s a non-filtered picture of a breathtaking sunset with colors so vivid you’d swear it was fake (or

Oh Instagram, my how you’ve changed everyone’s lives. I remember creating the account in 2010, and all but forgetting about it for the next eight months after that. Now? Now I’ll run outside onto a freezing NY rooftop in 27° weather just to make sure my picture of my Henn and Coke in X-Pro II loads. Apparently, Instagram brings out everyone’s inner photographer, narcissist, philosopher, chef, and gym rat. All in hopes for that coveted spot on the popular page, or self-validat

Yo chick she so thirsty. No, really. H2O on these hoes after the club, so I don’t get a hangover. #gpoy #instagram #selfie

Miss Christy Mack, Mack, Mack All dressed in black, black, black With a big dick, dick, dick All up her ass, ass, ass. And what an ass it is. Me and the homie who shall not be named to protect his innocence spent 15 minutes at a wedding reception trying to remember this sex Goddesses name. Finally, three weeks later I get a text from him with the answer, and that was the day I knew we’d be friends forever. Ladies and gentlemen, meet Christy Mack. My favorite porn star sinc
