Words of Wisdom From Cesar Millan

I absolutely adore Cesar Millan, aka, “The Dog Whisperer,” so I recently started following him on Twitter. He’s one of those people who automatically follows you back, BUT you also get a little bonus direct message that says this:
“Thanks for the follow! Stay calm and assertive!”
I was beyond amused when I read this. But [...]

Pet Peeve Of The Day

It really bugs me when people start off a sentence with, “No offence, but…”
I mean, c’mon! It’s too late. I’m already offended. You’ve essentially set yourself up for a guaranteed, offence-inducing comment. And who knows? If you hadn’t said, “no offence, but…” I might have actually gone on with my life, unoffended and happy as [...]

I used to ride and jump horses regularly when I was younger, but my father would always tell me that I couldn’t own my [...]

Paging Playboy (Or More Specifically, Jimmy Jellinek)

So, I’ve been sitting here ruminating over all the reasons why I think Playboy should hire me the MOMENT its editorial offices relocate to Chicago, and I thought, “Why keep this tantalizing and persuasive information to myself when I can post it on my website and use it for my own self-interested purposes?” So [...]

aranya tomseth version 2.0 has arrived

Okay, so I maintained my “Better Living Through Chemistry” blog for several months for the purposes of a graduate school class, but I’m not going to rant and rave about the pros and cons of pharmaceutical drugs anymore. I think I made my point, and well, frankly, I’m bored of that topic. Besides, I’m done [...]
