Attractive Tales from Grand Cities, a Social Memoir

Where are the BEST and WORST places to look for love from the opposite sex? Where should one go to SHOP for love? Is there a retail store? Should it be done online? Sometimes I wish looking for love, was as easy as consumerist shopping. Sometimes I wish love could be ordered as easily as a hot pizza, delivered right to your front door. In actuality, it is NEVER that easy. The sample spectrum of courtship, getting the phone number, dating, adjusting to comfort levels, can often be a lethargic, lumbering ordeal. Love is not always just a fun, fleeting, glorious one night stand. Personally, I do enjoy sexy one night stands though, and used to have them with more frequency. Have one-night stands gone OUT OF STYLE? Perhaps southern woman are more conservative than those in NYC. What do you think? Where is the BEST place to look for love? For example, is it ideal to pick-up your NEW LOVE interest at the grocery store, the neighborhood park, the bar, a friends referral, a hous...

In this modern current day and age, it seems like the art of privacy is slowing going the way of the buffalo. Could human privacy one day become extinct? Where does privacy live and how can we save it? With the advent of social media, government agency watchdogs, and neighbor lot lines creeping closer to each other, the art of privacy is becoming tougher to acquire. How do you feel about privacy? Do you cherish it, or are you willing to accept the spotlight of life's actions and choices? Personally for me, I am a mix of both private and public. As a real life writer, and as the "The Sample Spectrum" happily displays, I often advertise, promote, and willing disclose my personal lifestyle, real tales, and honest cultural opinions. Thus, this emptying of the soul and diary hopes to engage readers, people and friends. I think deep down, writers just simply yearn for readers, feedback and response. They hope their voice is heard, and listened to, regardless of the r...

As a High School senior ready to go College, I applied to only a few number of schools. I applied to TCU, Trinity, and Texas. I was tardy in my application process and missed the obnoxiously early entry dates for the West Coast California Schools. Oh well. They required full applications to be completed AND in by September. So who wanted this young athletic, intelligent, vibrant, handsome, outgoing recent graduate and college seeker? TCU and Texas said yes. I rightfully choose the Texas Longhorns. I was admitted! Hook Em it was. I recall my fraternity RUSH recruitment as the SUMMER OF FUN . RUSH as it is known, was a constant gift and flirtatious expensive recruitment. The process was driven by multiple big time established nationally recognized, Southern Greek Organizations. As a local Austinite, with the University Campus nearby, my fellow rush friends received all the perks of consistent fun, partying, trips, and attention. The Three Main Fraternity organizations whom sp...

Curiously what are your "USUAL DAYS" like? Are they similar to Bill Murray's life in the movie Ground Hog Day . If you have or have not seen Groundhog Day , its a movie where the lead character's days run in similarly eerily fashion on repeat. Some people enjoy the sameness and routine of life, while others sometimes must be prepared for the randomness. Here is a an example of what my "USUAL DAY" has been like for the past 3 to 4 years since I returned to Austin, Texas, after living in NYC for 5 years. I usually wake up in my studio duplex 1 bedroom in the central west Austin neighborhood of Clarksville. Each neighborhood in Austin is unique and has it's own moniker or nickname. Thus I have resided daily in Clarksville for 3 years roughly. My wake-up time varies between 7 am at the earliest to 10 am on a Sleepy Day. I slowly wake-up and watch the Today Show or Morning News Channels to catch up on outside world relevance. If I'm feeling a...
