The Real Definition Of Comedy

My first serious girlfriend came into my life when I was 18 years old. Her name was Michelle, she was a mess, and in retrospect, I didn't care about her at all. However, the circumstances surrounding us as a couple are entertaining if nothing else.

I'm a Catholic. Michelle was Jewish, which was not, nor is not an issue for me. In fact, a majority of the women that I've dated have been Jewish. There's no real reason behind that.

The three months that Michelle and I spent together were relativel… Continue

Let's Party

The start of it all, the first time I ever attended a party was when I was 16 years old.

I paid five dollars to get into said party, which took place at my friend Tom's house. That didn't really cover anything, as the raging "party" ended up consisting of six guys hang… Continue

First Love

Most people will bitch and complain about losing their first love. Frankly, I think that kind of talk is for stupid people.

Oh sure, it's well and good to lament about the great times that you had, or the person that they were, once upon a time. But overall, you need to suck it up and move on.

My own tale of first love and lost is quite heartbreaking indeed.

Her name was Allison, and I was five years old.

Allison and I sat next to each other on the bus every single day on the way to kinderga… Continue

Chance

It's funny how chance encounters can eventually turn into life changing events.

Her name was Melanie.

The specifics of our meeting are fairly inconsequential, both of us working at a summer camp. It sounds as if it could be the beginning of a porno, but that's not the road that it went down.

Several obstacles stood in the way of us ever being together. First and foremost, we both were in relationships at the time. And though both relationships were poisonous and unhappy, it seemed as if thing… Continue

Hi Eduardo Now that I have had a chance to read through some of your other work, I now have a better and clearer understanding of who the characters are and the situation they are in. It was by chance that I read this story first, which was a mista…

Hi Edaurdo. Sorry you haven't had a reply in over two months, but I thought I’d give my opinion (for what its worth) in relation to your short story "The King and Queen of Scumville". You are certainly dealing with raw and powerful emotions and ima…
