About Your Prince of Why. February 27, 2014. I reopened the OKC account last night right as I was going to bed. By the time I woke up this morning, I had 16 new visitors and 11 new “they choo-choo-choose you” notifications. And it felt good. Some part of me needs the superficial validation. Four messages so far today, and that’s just from the pre-work and lunch rushes. Most of the time, these things happen in the 5-6 hour and then after 10, when people are drunk and lonely and start recklessly ...March 1...

About Your Prince of Why. How to be an Old Man. August 20, 2014. I’m in the middle of a couple of unpleasant things right now, but after writing this out in an email, I decided its better to be able to laugh about things than to wallow. So here’s a funny little anecdote for you (and apologies to those who have already heard it, but this is quickly becoming one of my favorite Stories). So anyway, coming back from the bathroom, I spot a squirrel on the fire escape …. That’s not a tree! So as I walk back to...

On (in) Love | Prince of Why
https://princeofwhy.com/2014/11/03/on-in-love
About Your Prince of Why. November 3, 2014. Personally, I like what I did there. Sometimes it feels like giving up on a thing. Other times it feels like letting go of a thing. Its the same Thing. Its always about perspective. But there’s a resonating idea right now, backed up by conversations with Cam, about love. Changing perspectives on love. Evolving ideas of what love is. Bear with me here …. And so you end up wondering if this is something you deserve, or if this is something else. I love life. ...

A Life, Alone | Prince of Why
https://princeofwhy.com/2014/05/16/a-life-alone
About Your Prince of Why. A Life, Alone. May 16, 2014. A few years back, when I first moved to DC, I was living alone for the first time in my life. To look back on it, I can admit it was incredibly frightening, and sad to me. I didn’t like it. I had been rejected and spurned, and I felt rather useless to other people. I felt like being alone was a punishment. And also, I make me laugh. This entry was posted in Prince of Life. On a Time Now Passed. I just need to write this down. Enter your comment here.

About Your Prince of Why. I just need to write this down. June 2, 2014. The thing I lost was my own little family. A wife and a dog and a cat. Maybe that’s why I became so close with my parents, my siblings, my nieces when it all came down. This weekend taught me that I adore my family. I need them. They need me. This weekend also made me feel like I am part of a community here, and I am loved as much as I love. I have such an extended group of amazing people. I am never alone. A Life, Alone. Prince of M...

About Your Prince of Why. On a Time Now Passed. February 28, 2014. Ended up down a gchat rabbit hole tonight. Made a yeast starter. Needed to kill time. Somehow, this lead to an iTunes playlist of all 2002-2004 hits. I am a nostalgic, sentimental moron. Acknowledged. But I played some Postal Service, some Flaming Lips “In the Morning of the Magicians,” some Wrens “Ex-Girl Collection.” And I sang along to my cat, sitting in the chair next to my computer, staring at me. Are you eating chips? A Life, Alone.

About Your Prince of Why. February 20, 2014. I was just having a lengthy conversation with a Jewish friend of mine in which she analogized a recent dating failure in my life to the excitement of Christmas throughout all of December, followed by the reality that Christmas has come and gone, and all you have left is a bunch of toys whose brilliance and luster fade every day. Yes, she is Jewish, but I think she clearly knows about Christmas. Stung like all hell, but she was right. So I started thinking abou...
