Plenty of Carp (Part II)
Greetings! Humblr here, finally bringing you the long awaited part II of our online dating experiment series. This time, our harrowing account comes from guest blogger Jenni!
(Our illustrator is busy being a lazy ass ho today. All the images in this post are courtesy of Google.)
By special request, I am giving my spiel on online dating, as it has certainly been one of my more humbling social...

HLE #5: Miss America 2011
As most of you know, the Miss America Pageant was on Saturday. This year, I watched with some of my closest friends, specifically Shea Sullivan* and Katie Thompson**. Little did we know what was about to hit the fan.
Let’s rewind to a few days before when the preliminaries were being live streamed online. Shea tuned in to watch Miss Delaware, Kayla Martell, perform the talent that...

HLE #4: It Gets Better-Broadway, by Raymond J. Lee
My most humbling experience in 2010 came after the recent string of suicides from teens all across the country. I could not sit back and watch as these stories came into the limelight and wanted to find some way to give back.
On October 7, 2010, my dear friend Chris Nichols, a prominent NY agent, and I invited several members of the Broadway and NY Theater community to come in and give...

HLE #3: No, I Don't Know What You Mean
Okay folks, it’s time for the first of many HLEs that stem from working with the Deaf community. To preface, I worked as a Job Coach for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing for a year and a half. This means I developed job leads, interpreted interviews, on the job training, etc.
I had one client named Capathia*. Now, Capathia is Deaf, has no work history, no high school diploma, is in her late 20’s,...
The Humblr Blog's Guide to "Fishing" (Part I?)
Remember my aspiring sugar baby days? Yeah well, those days are over. The joke’s on me. I’m officially on Plenty of Fish.
And at this point, I don’t even care whether or not I get a single decent date out of this thing. Just the experience is proving worth it, providing me with lots of laughs and blogging material. Now that I’m snowed in and completely out of new reads and...

The Humblr Blog’s Guide to Fine Dining...
I recently had the pleasure of attending a family friend’s surprise 50th birthday party, held at a not so humble restaurant. While this was not my first experience at an event such as this, it was probably my most humbling. I’m happy to compile a guide to such an evening…
Location: Baku, Azerbaijan Brooklyn, NY. Please arrive to the Baku Palace reasonably on time, preferably in a white...

DOWN IN FRONT!!
Back in October, I was fortunate enough to receive a complimentary house seat for La Bête on Broadway. For you non-theatrical types, a house seat is the most expensive, best seat in the house. When people deemed to be important express interest in seeing the show, the producers will often reserve these limited seats for them to provide the best in-theatre experience possible. That said, I went...

Humbling Life Experience #1: That Time I Aspired...
Hello, my dear blog readers! Sorry it took me so long to finally post a real entry; rest assured that it’s not because we’re lazy or lack ideas. As of right now, I have two potential blog posts written up, and ideas for at least 10 others, but so far I have not had the courage/conviction to post any. (Being a procrastinator and a perfectionist is an awful combination.) While I’m good at coming up...

Hello, and welcome to “The Humblr Blog!” The purpose of this space is to provide an open forum to relay and discuss our humbling life experiences amongst other things.* Plain and simple.
We first cooked up the idea for starting a blog last weekend. While brunching somewhere uptown, we found out that a dear friend of ours might be seriously knocked up and yet she refused to take a pregnancy test....
