America is a land where you can re-invent yourself as many times as you need until you invent yourself into the person you are. If you put your heart into it, you can change almost anything and probably make a profitable make-over show about it. But as one wise person once told me, people never [...]

The solution’s in evolution
Hiya. Remember Monday when I was writing about being depressed? I want to clarify that I don’t think that I’m bipolar or clinically depressed. When I feel overwhelmed I get the symptoms that align with clinical depression. And lately, I’ve been more overwhelmed and stressed than ever before, being in the wrong job and realizing [...]

Treadmill recipe and dinner workout
As some of you who follow my every word on Facebook already know, I got my ass to the gym yesterday. In part, like Allie suggested (and by the way, let me take this long overdue moment to plug her/our newest endeavor known as The Greenists) I figured going to the gym would help me [...]

Grammar isn’t everything. But it’s something.
Now that I’m committing to a blog revival, I’m going more in depth. I don’t want to just drop the “I’m not happy at work” bomb and leave it at that. So what is making me unhappy? I’ll start by saying my favorite part about work is meeting all the people and having conversations with [...]
