Loose Threads, Vol. 5 (Best Blogs of Dec. ’08)
Time sure flies. Yup, it’s the end of yet another month, which means it’s time to dig in the vaults and unearth some of the best blogs from the archives (aka the Sock Drawer). For those that missed the memo, this is a end-of-the-month series I like to call Loose Threads. Basically, it’s my way of letting new and old Sock Heads catch up on a few good posts (IMO) that may have fell through the cracks. Just look at it as a chance to reminisce with your boy, NWSO.
This month I’m turning the calendar back to December ’08. If something you read moves you, feel free to leave a comment as I read them all and always appreciate input from you guys/gals. As always, you can feel free to search my Sock Drawer at any time or go through the various sections below to see what discussions and topics you may have missed.
NOTE: If you come across any inactive links that got screwed up when I moved NakedWithSocksOn over from Blogger to an official dot-com, please let a brother know by hitting me on my email, which you can get from the toolbar above or by CLICKING HERE. Feel free to holla at me there with suggestions, feedback on the site, submitting a guest blog or any other questions as well. I try my best to get back to folks as soon as I can.
As always, you can get daily email alerts on new posts by subscribing to the blog HERE, follow my random thoughts on Twitter HERE, or join my various online networks on MySpace, FaceBook and BlackPlanet. Oh, I also have a new FaceBook fan page and a blog network page for faithful readers. Feel free to hit me up on any or all of those pages, just be sure to introduce yourself as a reader/sock head by sending a quick note with your friend request to avoid going through my tedious screening process. ☺ Anyway, without further ado, enjoy Loose Threads, Vol. 5.
Sincerely yours,
NWSO
***SAVE THE DATE***
NWSO’s one-year anniversary party in NYC Thursday, July 9th. Details to come.
P.S.
In case you missed it
How Relationships Are Defined
Over the years I’ve learned that men and women communicate totally differently—especially when it comes to dating. CLICK HERE to see how I break down the various ways men classify levels of courtship.
Dear NWSO (Cash Rules)
One of my faithful readers reached out for some advice concerning a man she was seeing who tried to taker her to the chicken spot on a date because he was unemployed. CLICK HERE to see what advice I gave her and why some women need to be a little more considerate.
Do Men Respect Women With Fat Asses?
As funny as it may sound, a female friend of mine told me she didn’t think men respected women with big butts. I thought she was exaggerating but CLICK HERE to see what male and female readers had to say about that.
Big Breasted Blues (Does She Even Like It?)
For some reason men are attracted to big breasts. In some cases some guys are obsessed with the idea of tittie fuckin’ (or TF’n). In this post I posed a question to see if women just do it to please their man or they actually enjoy TF’n. CLICK HERE.
Do You Have Any Kids?
I don’t know what it is but women assume any man past 28 has got to have kids. It seems like every time I reconnect with someone from my past that’s the first question out their mouth. Is being a single (Black) guy with no kids really that rare? CLICK HERE.
Man Law: Sisters Are Off Limit (Or Are They?)
One of the oldest Man Laws is that sisters are off limits, but what if your boy is a really dope guy and you sibling is super hot? I’m not no R. Kelly or anything like that but CLICK HERE to see what I’m saying.
Fatal Thoughts of Suicide
This was a real important post that I deplore you all to read or reread. Suicide is an issue that a lot of people try to sweep under the rug, but here I tackle the topic and share my own thoughts of suicide. CLICK HERE.
Requiem For a One-Night Stand, Pt. 1 & 2
I relive one of my not-so proud moments and apologize to a woman I slept with but knew I shouldn’t have. CLICK HERE to see if she forgave me or just spit in my face.
I Got Fired Today (My Balls & My Word)
Talk about irony. A month after I told the story of how I got fired from my old job I got clipped from my then-current 9-to-5. It’s not a sad story, but one of triumphing over tragedy. CLICK HERE to see if you can relate.
Do Wedding Rings Attract Single Women?
After a honest conversation with one of my married friends, he revealed that it seemed there were certain women that came on to him more when they saw his wedding band. CLICK HERE to read my thoughts on women that are down with O.P.P.
An Analysis of Busta Rhymes’ “Arab Money”
Late last year, Busta Rhymes caused a bit of controversy with his hit record “Arab Money.” Apparently, in the original version he and homie Ron Browz mispronounced the word “Arab” in an offensive way. CLICK HERE to see my take on the whole thing, while trying to drop a little knowledge.
Doing Da Butt (Owww)
After a reader reached out seeking my advice on whether or not she should let her current “companion” try something “new,” I offered my advice on the situation and the dangers of anal sex. CLICK HERE to see if I was on point or just being a pain in the ass. LOL.
How Long Can You Go Without Sex?
Everyone has there breaking point—especially when it comes to sex. It’s sort of like withdrawal, you get agitates, cranky, irritable, restless and can’t sleep. My personal time limit is two months, CLICK HERE to see how long other folks can go without some lovin’.
The Internet Killed the Video Star
Taking a different approach than usual, I penned an analytical piece at how technology and the Internet have affected the way we view music. In fact, with so many clips leaking online and FlipCam posts, there really isn’t a need for glossy videos in the YouTube era. CLICK HERE to see if you agree.
