Jerks of the Week: April 4, 2016 JERK OF THE WEEK: April Fools and April Truths IV I might be the most forgetful person of all time, which is weird because I have a great memory. Yeah, I know, that makes no sense, but hear me out. For instance, I can almost always recall the…

Jerks of the Week: March 28, 2016 JERK OF THE WEEK: Battle of the Gyms: Old Gym vs. LA Fitness I’m not any sort of music connoisseur. I don’t think I can name five bands, I’ve never been to a concert, and back a couple of years ago, I thought Hannah Montana was a porn…

Jerks of the Week: March 21, 2016 JERK OF THE WEEK: Random Pictures on My Phone My girlfriend and I went out to celebrate her final day at a job she held for a long time, but didn’t like very much. The restaurant we went to was none other than Nifty Fifty’s, a 50s-style burgers-and-shakes…

Jerks of the Week: March 14, 2016 JERK OF THE WEEK: Meshack and Marco Manilla It’s hard to believe that I spent half of my life without Facebook. I couldn’t imagine existing without it right now.

I…

Jerks of the Week: Feb. 22, 2016 JERK OF THE WEEK: Night at the Spa: My First Massage Ever Last week, I wrote about my experience purchasing a gift card for my mom at Hand & Stone Massage and Facial Spa. Little did I know that just a few days later, I would be going…

Jerks of the Week: Feb. 15, 2016 JERK OF THE WEEK: Surprise in a Box, Crazy Woman at the Bank, Dumb Girl at the Spa Last week, I wrote about going out to eat dinner for my mom’s birthday at a place called Macroni’s, a restaurant that didn’t serve macaroni and cheese. I’m still crying…

Jerks of the Week: Feb. 8, 2016 JERK OF THE WEEK: Macaroni’s With my mom’s birthday approaching in late January, I was concerned. My family’s choice in restaurants is, well, interesting to say the least. I’ll never forget my experience at a restaurant back in the fall of 2013. My sister’s birthday was there, but…

Jerks of the Week: Feb. 1, 2016 JERK OF THE WEEK: McPick 2 My sister and I used to beg my mom to buy us McDonald’s at least once per week when we were kids. And on most occasions, she obliged. You see, I swam when growing up, and practices typically ended around 8, so…
