  • Last week, I asked my sister if I should devote more of GenMeh’s column inches to discussing the trials and triumphs of  my own life. She wisely pointed out this wouldn’t exactly mesh with my uber private nature.  Cards close to the vest and all that jazz. The privacy thing came up again when I…

  • Screw setting actual goals and then feeling like crap when you inevitably fall short of societally-endorsed benchmarks of mainstream heteronormative success. We’ve got your five-year plan right here, baby! Let Mad Libs chart your course over the next half decade. Print it out and play with your friends! Tape the results to your fridge door…

  • Well, if not famous, at least quotable. I want to explore the issue of micro-generations (which I raised in the interview) in more detail, so stay tuned for a future post on why today's youth are ladder-climbing attention whores and why we shouldn't blame them for it.

  • Today’s post is the first in a new feature I’m referring to as Rogue Models. Rogue Models will highlight interviews and discussions with diverse twenty and thirtysomethings who are putting their money where their mouths are when it comes to pursuing happiness and personal/professional fulfillment on their own terms.

  • List Served is a regular feature wherein I present you with an ordered grouping of (at least tangentially) related points. I love lists and the internet loves ephemeral minutiae. It’s all good. Chronological Observations From My Recent 18 Hours (adjusted for time zone differences) in Transatlantic Transit Okay, three minutes after take-off and I’m gonna…

  • Recently, I took a little business trip.  Being a consummate pre-planner with specific dietary quirks, I always do my homework when it comes to identifying restaurants that fit my needs in the city I happen to be visiting,  which explains how I found myself in a vegan anarchist coffee house. The fact that I am…

  • Photo by jmacphoto.com Wednesday’s entry will be later than usual as I’ll be in an aeroplane over the sea (someone will get this, right?).  It’ll be worth waiting for, though – a dating crash course for the nerdy/shy/awkward dudes in the audience.  Don’t worry, fellas; GenMeh’s got your back.

  • Sometimes, I look at the searches that bring people to this site and I want to put my arm around the internet and give it as many cookies as it takes to make things all better.  I’m equal parts natural born fixer and adamant eschewer of drama. It’s an odd combination to be sure. A…

  • List Served is a weekly feature wherein I present you with an ordered grouping of (at least tangentially) related points. I love lists and the internet loves ephemeral minutiae. It's all good. In honor of the fact that it seems as if I’ve been in transit since June (although the most recent Boston/Montreal doubleheader was…
