Just a Preview..

To all my ex-boyfriends:

…to be fair, you did all know I was a writer;)

Over the course of the next few months I’ll be contributing to my mentor and boss’ blog at Creative Loafing.

Introducing: Love, Brittney

For those of you that aren’t familiar with Brittney Cason, you should be! Her writing is both insightful and humorous; and if relationship/love reading is the name of your game-she’s a good candidate for team captain.


This blog post is to introduce one of the blogs I’ll be contributing, we’re calling it the:

"UNC-C Date List Blog"

What’s it about? Simple, dating; but its more than that…

Roughly six months ago Karen Owen shocked the world with her blatant and bold exposure of the gentlemen company she kept at Duke University. What once began as an inside joke, meant only for the eyes of a few friends, quickly escalated into a very public and humiliating episode. The most life-altering and revolutionary time in life are the college years, but it is one drum which has been beat to death. You figure out who you are in college—yeah, yeah we get it; but Owen did the unthinkable. She exposed her very private sexual encounters to society, and got no love in return.

Sure what Karen did was unconventional and a major slip in judgment, but in this day and age where girls younger than me are rushing to the altar- she’s sort of a breath of fresh air.

So I’ve written my own version. What Karen labeled her “Fuck List,” I’m calling my “Date List.” This blog both mimics and follows the Karen Owen formula. This is the story of a college graduate who dated an assortment of guys. The things learned have been documented, including the rather painful and embarrassing bits. It is Karen Owen’s story re-done sans sex scandal and body fluids -- because who are we kidding, sex is the given. It’s the game of relationships that makes or breaks you.

Stay tuned, the blog will launch soon...

The real question: Ben Califf, how scared are you right now ;)
