I’m basically a nasty person. Don’t get me wrong. I give to charity. I’ll help a lady change her tire in the snow. And more often than not, I’ll relinquish my bus sea… Read More

Have you ever been set-up by a well-meaning friend? Of course it’s not your typical thing. No need, right? You do fine on your own. A guy like you…how could you not? Still, in… Read More

I’ve always found it funny that people, even otherwise thoughtful, decent people, can routinely blow by the one that is one too many. I’m not judging of course, we’ve all d… Read More

I’ve always suffered the unfortunate circumstance of being both romantically inclined and challenged. Like the emotional equivalent of William Hung, I long to sing, knowing I can&rsquo&hell…Read More

Tuesdays are notoriously slow crime days in Singapore. Well, every day is slow, but Tuesdays, boy they can really depress the average crime fighter. Luckily, our heroes are equipped with an… Read More

It seemed like a normal Thursday evening commute – cluttered streets, backed-up busses, and this lone Caucasian bopping in time to the IPod offered rhythms of Natalie, a gorgeous Spani… Read More

A koala bear and a prostitute finished an evening’s escapade at which point the bear said thanks and headed for the door. The hooker, a bit taken back by the action asked, “Um… Read More

One of the major benefits to living in Singapore is the relative ease with which one can blast off on a variety of exotic weekend adventures. Now I’ve never fancied myself (well, that… Read More

Before I write word one, I’m going to admit that this is a pretty petty post. In the grand scheme of things the topic is a trifle less important than laundry lint. Still it’s som… Read More

We’ve all heard of culture shock. As someone who has traveled a great deal and prides himself on his above average understanding of the “softer side” of leadership, I f… Read More

I’ve never been one to stand out in a crowd. Some guys, the rat pack boys, the Gene Kelly crew, they could float down stairs, whisk through rooms and make the rest of us mortals simp… Read More
