It was a welcome change for me to usher in another year, with a little more quiet and a little less noise. I guess as you get older, and as you find yourself getting more boring as the days go by, you gravitate towards what's less complicated and opt for things that require less effort. I...

Once a year, that day comes when you feel like the world owes you a little knick or knack or a greeting at the very least. On this seemingly “special” day, a part of us feels that we deserve the excess attention and overflowing greetings, and that we have every right or reason to be... Continue Reading →
March 18, 2011, 9:36 AM, Friday TALKING TO MYSELF "So, that went well. Pretty good interview. And they made an offer. Shit. I couldn't be more lost." Weeks ago, I would have accepted it there and then, at the very instant that contract was handed to me. I would have pulled out all the stops and... Continue Reading →
The choices I make define who I am. And yet conversely, they don’t. Over the last 4 months of my life, I’ve made choices (both long-thought-out and otherwise), which have made all the difference in my life as it stands today. Bluntly put, I am self-employed (as co-proprietor and marketing manager of The Black Fleet),... Continue Reading →
What makes a brilliant actress? If you asked me that years ago, I would have come up with the lamest, most insanely shallow answer and named the Teen Choice Awardee my pick. Cut to either Sarah Michelle Gellar. Or… Sarah Michelle Gellar. (Quite the perceptive teen I was.) As much as I love my slayer... Continue Reading →
Three Christmases and New Years apart, you'd think we were already used to it. That or we ought to (at the very least) have gotten better at overcoming the Separation Syndrome. But it never gets easy, does it? There remains a sting, an uneasiness with the way our Christmas cards are dealt each year. You're... Continue Reading →
With every tick and tick of time, there is an onslaught of either regret or an overwhelming sense of frustration with the year that was. One beats himself up for the things he should-a, would-a, and could-a. The ‘What-ifs’ and ‘If Onlys” fill the air. “I should have done more. I would have had more.... Continue Reading →
I struggle with every word and letter. Writing (my most natural and genuine means of self-expression) has become so difficult a task that I type and retype, then stare fearfully at the white, almost blinding, space before me. I've had writer's block before but this isn't a case of such. To me, it isn't so... Continue Reading →
It's alarming to feel a little bulge here and there, to have a little more difficulty pulling up the jeans and fitting in that outfit. Still, you can delude yourself into thinking you aren't gaining THAT MUCH. You can hide behind the seemingly careless, "Who cares?" facade. You can convince yourself you're still okay despite all...

When you have loads to say or stuff to get off your chest, it's best to turn to your sounding board. Whether you come right out and admit to feeling bad about something or unsuccessfully try to pass it off as a "random thought", it still feels amazingly comforting when you have someone to just shut...

I AM SAB.
