The less I say about this, the better, but it is true: while I am on the books for another 60 days, I am effectively no longer working for Jazzed.com or its parent company, eHarmony.com. It’s nothing to do with me personally, and I don’t feel a grudge; it’s been nearly 12 years for me at eHarmony, and it was time to move on, for everybody. A lot of people are in my same shoes today. We will survive, and so will eHarmony.

So don’t cry for me, Argentina… but do go check out my many articles about love, loss, and luvvin’ at the Jazzed blog. They’re worth reading, and I’ll miss writing them.

 

what NOT to do on Facebook after getting dumped August 2, 2012

So… I had this idea to make a viral article, something that could be shared in its entirety as an image on Facebook or wherever (but mostly Facebook). People love to share photos, and photos get the most “reach” on Facebook, and people also like articles. I’ve seen similar images, e.g. recipes put together as an image, do well on other Facebook pages, so it seemed like a smart experiment to try.

Here’s the image I tried to spread around on Facebook:

I also saved the same thing as a standard article for the Jazzed blog, which you can read here.

I’m so proud of my horrible malady that I wrote this article about why you should date someone with ADD!

Read it. And then I guess date me?

I wrote an article for Jazzed about feel-good breakup songs–you know, songs that make you say, “YEAH! What do I care about so-and-so leaving me? I have the world at my feet and a bunch of phone numbers in my pocket and I’m getting LAID tonight!” No need to cry… that will come later.

I Somehow Fit Nazism and Skinny Dipping Into a Dating Article About Hiking June 11, 2012

I wrote one of my personal favorite dating articles for Jazzed this week, and published it today–and it’s about cool hiking spots in L.A.! Guess which one of the four I haven’t personally been to yet.

Oh… and the thing ends with a dick joke! I am such a class act!

I posted my first article for Jazzed today.

It’s a kind of weekender-recommendation article that talks about the Joshua Tree Inn, Pappy & Harriet’s, the Integratron, et al.:
