Groupon, Living Social and now...

"Don't get mad, but..." So began a text from my sister, instantly causing my teeth to grind and my brow to furrow. Talk about sparking the polar opposite of the desired reaction. I wish I had the ability to harness my emotions like she instructed, but I do not. If...

When my book "HARD SELL: The Evolution of a Viagra Salesman" came out exactly six years ago, I thought it was a no-brainer for a movie. My friends questioned my brain function. But, I figured: take a guy who pushes the little blue pill, add a love interest...

Dear Actor-in-his-mid/late twenties-who-will-someday-(hopefully soon)-shit-on-me,

Many people are outraged by Charlie Sheen's referring to his boss as "Chaim Levine."

Me? I am inspired by it.

Chuck Lorre's shoulders shudder under the $250M weight of a television show.

Me? I long for that burden.

Mr. Lorre stings from the verbal acid...

I'm throwing a penalty flag at the 24/7 sport channels and their analysts.

The majority of these "experts" simply blurt out conversational placeholders while skimming the depths of their tide pool brains for something resembling an insightful opinion.

Here is an imaginary yet all-too-real exchange between an incredibly patient...

They're screwing me. Fate's against me. What am I gonna, do? My hands are tied. The boss hates me.

The next time you succumb to any of those self-defeating thoughts, I want you to remember Ray Johnston. And then I want you to get off your bench...

As an avid concert goer, I have two pre-show lists: my Wish List, i.e. if they play "Nothing Man" I may cry and/or stain my underpants, and my Must List, i.e. they better play "Alive" or I will cry.

I used two Pearl Jam examples because I've seen them...

During Sunday's Super Bowl, my friends roundly ridiculed me on two separate occasions -- both times in response to my response to commercials.

Hattiesburg, Mississippi -

Rumors have simmered for days regarding Brett Favre's repeated mixed messages in the breakfast nook. Today, speculation turned into confirmation when his wife Deanna boiled over at a 4-H board meeting.

"He is driving me crazy," the emotional Deanna admitted. "He's eaten pancakes...

I awoke suddenly at 3:00 AM. Heart pounding. Soaked in sweat. Night terrors are nothing new to me: bad guys constantly break into my apartment to do me harm; snakes slither all over my bed. But this was different.

I dreamed I'd been on Twitter all day and that my...

(A letter to a friend)

Cut me some slack re: the title's terrible pun. I simply can't get your name out of my head. I can hear your pained groan, and I can almost feel the subsequent pinch on the sensitive part of the inside of my arm. You did...

In celebration of St. Patrick's Day, over several Guinness, my friends and I decided to compile a list of the best African-American athletes whose names could be confused for Irish guys.

Fortunately, I googled the topic and came up with 17 blogs that have already covered it. We hate those...

I attended a couple's baby shower on Sunday. But that's not why I'm blogging.

Today I sat down to compose a "thank you" note to the couple who hosted the event. I considered blowing off this traditional act of etiquette. I mean, who even mails those anymore? But then...

I'm in a relationship. Thought you may have heard.

Facebook serves a lot of purposes. It allows people to: reconnect with long lost friends, cyber-scout their pals' pals to see who is hot, and generally kill time better spent stroking clients, closing deals or scheduling play dates.

But what Facebook...

"Jamie, can we take you shopping for jeans?"

Tiffany said those words to me last Friday night, prior to a Halloween party. She was speaking for her and KC. This was not the first time a woman had asked that question, so I immediately knew what these ladies were talking...

I didn't work out today. Bad back. Or maybe it was a hamstring.hamstring forget.

But sitting on the beach just now, exercising my brain with crossword puzzles, I felt ashamed of myself.

A 60-year old Unabomber lookalike exited the surf and walked past me. Not a strange occurrence in Manhattan...

Last week I got the greatest Facebook relationship status update: Susie Doe is now married". I laughed because I already knew that; after all, I attended her wedding...10 years ago.

But yesterday I got a bummer of an update: Jane Smith is now single".

Wow. Welcome to...

Step 1: Be an idiot single guy.

Step 2: Ignore redundancy of Step 1.

Step 3: Glance at recipe 24 hours prior to attempting meal for the first time.

Step 4: "Lose" Crock Pot instruction manual containing aforementioned recipe.

Step 5: Make decision to begin cooking 30 minutes prior to...

This is my first attempt at blogging from my iPhone. Fitting that I'm pushing my technological envelope just as I'm about to test my fraternal limits.

Yes, my brother Patrick and I are driving cross country.

If you happen to be on I-70 or I-65 in the next three days...

It's been a rough few days for my sense of status.

First, I found out Tuesday that I will not be attending the Emmy's this year.
