TimeZones and Marriage

It’s weird. I got married 5 months ago. My friend’s sister got married 11 months ago, and now my friend (whose sister I just mentioned) is getting married in 2 months.
In 20 years, 10 years, 5 years, possibly less, we’ll look at each other, tell our kids, and spouses and selves, that we all got [...]

I’ll Drink To That

A Freilichin Peedim Everyone!!!
My chosson, he really doesn’t like drinking, not even a shot Friday night between the fish and meat. I’m busy pouring shots for everyone (myself included) and he politely declined.
So, I thought he was just a bit interesting, retarded, and backwards when he said that even though he “zicher” doesn’t like drinking, [...]

Staying the Course

I got lost last night. We were looking for the sign, but didn’t see it.
So we turned.
We went down a wrong road for a short while, until recognized it was in fact a wrong road, and the sign we were looking for wasn’t coming. So we turned around and retraced our steps. And instead of [...]

Winds of Life

Woah, was it windy today.
 There is something so exhilarating about walking against the wind. You know you’re going somewhere because you’re aware of every labored step. I may have walked in this direction every day, and it’s almost rote, but today there’s something pushing me in the opposite direction, yet I keep my course, because [...]

Copping Out

I’m suffering from a quasi writer’s block. So I’m copping out and posting a MEME that Tembow tagged me in a while ago. It’s half serious, half, well, not so.
Basically I had to complete the sentences…I’m not tagging anyone, but feel free to complete it in the comments section.
1. I wish I could…always be consistent [...]

The Secret to a Successful Life (or at least parts of it)

We all want to lose weight. Most of us do nothing about it, but it’s one of those big things people want to accomplish in their lives, on par with Climbing Mount Everest and becoming president of the United States. It’ll be totally awesome and cool if you did, but the statistical likelihood of that [...]

Driving Home a Point

I went to a wedding the other night. This is not about the wedding, but how I got there and the wedding is just the context as to why I was in a car in this particular case.
 
The wedding was a little distance away, about a 45 minutes drive from Brooklyn. I printed out [...]

Paternal Predictions

I hope I don’t turn out like my father.
 
Don’t get me wrong. I love my father.
 
Tonight we were doing an early spring-cleaning, just one closet. Out came the old coats, the worn out shoes, the broken kitchen appliances, and assorted memories.
 
There was a large leather portfolio that I dump unceremoniously on the side. It [...]

My Life: In Verse

I found some notes I took at a Literacy seminar over the summer.
 
The speaker had us quickly jot down where we found poetry in our lives.
 
This is what I wrote:
 
My hate the world days
Standing by a friends chupah
Insomniac night wishing I could fall asleep
The things I do to procrastinate
The silent moments between friends
The awkwardness [...]
