When Should You Meet My Kids? (Single Dad’s Perspective)

March 2nd 2010

A couple months back, I did a post where I questioned my ability to be a good husband one day. It’s not that I believe I lack the qualities that would make me a compatible match for my future wife but I’m aware of my own workaholic tendencies and how they have the potential to [...]

Do Aggressive Women Get More Dates? (She Asked Him Out)

February 26th 2010

A lot of women often complain about not being able to find a good man or only being approached by jerks. A while back I suggested that the ladies just flip the script and actually do the asking out. For the most part, female readers balked at the idea because they were just too scared [...]

Can Black Folks Be Racist? (I Wish the World Were Blind)

February 22nd 2010

Sometimes I wish the entire world were blind. That way race wouldn’t be an issue because no one could see what color anyone was. Chances are, though, that wouldn’t make much of a difference. (See 2008’s Blindness).
Based on man’s wicked nature and incessant desire to classify people, places and things, we’d probably find some other [...]

Do You Hate Your Job? (Recession-Proof Dreams)

January 28th 2010

Damn, it’s hard to believe it’s been a year already, but 365 days ago today I was laid off. A lot has changed over the course of that time span, but one thing has remained constant—my 2009 motto to be “Fired & Inspired.”
I’m a firm believer that everything happens for a reason. See, I wasn’t [...]

Do I Tell My Dad to Stop Calling? (Broken Family Values)

January 22nd 2010

Sigh!
My phone has been ringing for the past two weeks. Every time I look at the caller ID, no name pops up and I’m forced to decide between answering or letting it go to voicemail. I know who it is but I’m not in the mood to talk—at least not now.
I’m sorry.
Sam.
I’m unavailable at the [...]

Would You Stifle a Child’s Creativity? (The Dream Shatterer)

January 21st 2010

The reaction to yesterday’s post was interesting to say the least. At first, everyone seemed to be enjoying their weekly dose of Wet Wednesdays erotica. Then people discovered that the author was a 15-year-old scribe named Henry. Apparently this shocking revelation caused many women’s panties to go from moist to in a bunch.
To a certain [...]

Do You Have Faith in Mankind? (Haiti Needs Your Help)

January 19th 2010

I didn’t plan on writing about the earthquake that hit Haiti. It’s been the subject of every newspaper headline, Twitter stream, FaceBook status update, conversation and blog site for the past week. For the most part, I try to steer clear of oversaturated topics unless I have a different perspective or something new to add [...]

How Do You Deal With Death? (I’ll Always Love You)

January 11th 2010

Today is January 11th. It might be just another random date on the calendar for most, but for me it’s a weird day full of reasons to smile, as well as cry. Today my best friend’s daughter turns three. Today marks a month to the day of my brother’s birthday. Today is the 23rd anniversary [...]

My Sucky New Year (Have You Ever Regretted Sex?)

January 6th 2010

None of this would have happened if I had listened to Corey and just stayed put. He told me to leave well enough alone, but I was drunk, horny and curiosity got the better of me.
I’ll just blame it on the alcohol.
It was only a few hours into New Year’s 2001 and Corey and I [...]

Do You Believe in New Year’s Resolutions? (I Believe in Me)

January 4th 2010

Welcome back! I hope everyone had a safe holiday season (whichever you celebrate) and New Year’s. I spent mine south of the border toasting the day of my birth, a stressful yet successful year and making it to 2010. Thanx again to all those that sent birthday love and supported the blog in ’09.
Usually around [...]

Is Postpartum Depression Real? (When Mothers Attack)

December 14th 2009

Let me start off by saying, ignore the title. I know full and well that postpartum depression [PPD] is real. In fact, my mother revealed to me that she suffered from some form of it while my father was off fighting in the war, as she’d lie in bed for hours on end just cradling [...]

Will I Be a Good Husband? (Loving A Workaholic is Hard)

December 10th 2009

A few weeks back I had dinner with an old flame named Tiffany. She and I went out for a few months but life got hectic for both of us and we wound up traveling down separate romantic paths. Call it bad timing. Despite our failed courtship, we still maintain a solid friendship and have [...]
