More Fun for Table One

We are wired to know the straight and narrow path and to stay on it, but where is the joy in always following footsteps already taken? Nevermind spending all of your days in beige predictability, live seeking happiness wherever and however it may come. You can find happiness in the most uncommon and forgettable places, but you have to be open to it and willing to let it happen. You certainly can not sit around and just hope that it comes to you; you go out get happy. Where are you likely to find happy? With his best-friend Fun of course. Have some fun, take a walk on the wild-side or merely peek out of the box you live in. It could prove to be greatly beneficial. There certainly is no harm in consciously putting more joy in our circumstance more often than we do now. You may even find something or someone you could grow to love.

Why not do things we have never done, go places that are foreign to us, meet with people that are unfamiliar, and make an attempt to enjoy more of the time we have together? Well, don't mind if I do. I am not just talking about it, I will be about it. I am done nursing all of the Sour-Suzies, Whiny-Wendys, Bitter-Bettys and all around party-poopers. Starting this weekend, I am taking a walk on the wild-side and having some fun I have never had before- it will be an adventure. (If you knew me you would know that it will not entail danger of any kind or anything scary, but it will be fun.) We all could use a day of fun and adventure, and I intend to live for fun and adventure more often. I figure, if we choose to be happy and in that mindset we repeatedly put it in motion as often as possible, we would generally be happier people.

This weekend I am seeking happy with a friend in the form of fun and adventure, but next week may be simply exploring the city I live in more closely or making smores over an open flame in our backyard (no, we have never done that). Certainly, we all could benefit from a vacation, a concert, a walk on the beach, a long drive, or even a dinner at a new restaurant (start small, I am not judging) but embrace, embark, and carpe as much of life as you can. Life is a gift worth living so go live! When I am old and gray, when there are far more days behind me than ahead, I would like to spend my days walking down memory lane. Now is the time to make sure those memories are awesome and worth remembering.

Job Seeker: Tips and Tricks to Getting the Call

I know how difficult it is to be on the hunt for a job. You have to practically sleep with the boss-to-be just to get an interview in this economy. Well, if you have more integrity than showing a little boob to your potential employer, here are a few tips to help you stand out from the rest of the pack. So you're in the trenches of job-hunters and your phone just won't ring. How do you get noticed amongst the hundreds of other applicants? Well, you must understand the plight of your potential employer. With so many people unemployed these days, they are literally looking for a needle in a haystack. While the stack of applications flood their desks, acknowledge that you are hardly anything more than another name on a piece of paper. Most employers have the same view of applications- they're pretty much photocopies of each other, but the papers that accompany that application can make all the difference between having a job and still waiting on one. Let's talk about t...

Getting from MS. to MRS.

Usually I post about things that cater to no particular gender, however, this one right here is for the ladies. Fellas, I have not forgotten about you, and will definitely have little something for you at a later date. ;) Now, let's get down to business. First things first, you need to understand the most typical reasons why men usually will not commit in the first place. These reasons have nothing to do with you. These are issues that would be there no matter who he was dating. Simply put, most of them are waiting on the 'bigger, better, deal'- a fatter booty, a cuter face, slimmer waist, good hair, etc. What they don't realize is that waiting on the next best thing turns into anything with a pulse really fast. It will seem as if it happened overnight and then all of a sudden they became 'that dude'. We've all seen him- either at the club or in the grocery store, you can spot 'that dude' from a mile away- middle-aged, probably balding or practical...

5 Magic Rules to Getting MR./MRS. Right in 2012

Want to jump-start your search for Mr. /Mrs. Right this year? Here are a few simple rules that will help you get a renewed lease on dating and love in 2012. Life is too short for 10 rules so here's 5. Good Luck, and Happy Dating! 1. Know what you want, and mean it. When you don’t know what you want, you just might begin trying any and every option that comes your way. That is a waste of time and a road map to Dramatown, Crazytown, or Beatdown-town. You get the picture. Choose wisely. There's nothing wrong with being selective as long as you remain realistic. 2. Have a conversation. No texting or emailing, but a real verbal interaction. You can tell a lot about a person’s personality and your compatibility just in their tone, their laughter, attentiveness, and the flow. After two conversations you should definitely know if you want to see this person or not. 3. If you list them, they will come… seriously, the list is critical. It forces you to really determine what you ar...
