John

uPhone

July 5, 2009

John got an iPhone last week and our relationship is in deep peril. As is the future of our country. He keeps forwarding email crap to me and I’m sure that the only reason that he does it is so that the ridiculous legend at the bottom, “sent from my iPhone”, can mock me. He […]

Hypothetical

June 16, 2009

If your friend John calls you on your cell phone over the weekend, while you’re at your son’s baseball game and you don’t pick up because you are busy cheering or maybe gossiping with other moms, and then he calls again while you’re on your way home, and you don’t pick up because you are […]

Friendship

November 24, 2008

Many of you know about my friend John. We met at work, but I also love him. As a matter of fact, I think that if I were single, and he were heterosexual, and earned more money, and had a better personality, I would marry him. The marriage would really be helped along if he […]
