What’s Wrong With Gay Marriage? (A Civil Rights Issue)

January 25th 2010

I took a day off last week and while lying on my couch, flicking through channels, I came across an old episode of Tyra where the day’s topic was “Is Gay the New Black?” Beyond the subject of homosexuality, the episode was about the hoopla over same sex marriages being outlawed in California last year.
The [...]

Can You Be a Virgin Again? (The Artificial Virginity Hymen)

October 22nd 2009

A while back I did a post called “Do Men Really Want to Marry Virgins? (The Purity Myth)” that wound up being one of my most popular blog entries with 230+ comments. Basically, I expressed my belief that while the idea of marrying a virgin sounds nice in theory, most guys would actually rather their [...]

Am I Different? (30 Days Later)

October 20th 2009

It’s hard to believe but it’s been 30 days since Ramadan ended, signaling the completion of my 30-day fast and blog marathon. For those new to the site, I went on a month long journey back in August that began HERE and ended THERE, while all THIS happened in between.
All in all, it was great [...]

#61 How Did He Do 60 Blogs in 30 Days? (Hit Or Miss)

September 21st 2009

Okay, I’m back with an overtime recap. I realize that reading 60 lengthy blogs in 30 days is a bit much. People have lives and things to do, so I understand that not everyone had a chance to follow the blog marathon.
With that in mind, I decided to do a quick roundup of my greatest [...]

#59 You Can Be Flawed (Do You Believe in a Perfect Mate?)

September 20th 2009

You can be flawed
Because, honestly, who isn’t?
We each carry emotional baggage from one relationship to the next
Until the load becomes too much for one person to carry
But maybe
We can lift this together
You can be flawed
Because I don’t want to change you
I accept you the way you are (flaws and all)
But if you want to be [...]

#58 What Do You Do During a Flight Delay? (Mixed Post)

September 19th 2009

Technically, you’re not supposed to observe Ramadan while traveling because extraneous activity and changing time zones can make it more difficult. Despite popular belief, Ramadan is not supposed to be difficult. At least that’s what my Muslim friend told me.
Well, sometime on Thursday I was informed that I’d have to travel out of town for [...]

#57 Faded Picture (How Do You Hold On To Memories?)

September 19th 2009

There was a beautiful picture we once took.
It was impromptu.
Not posed in the slightest.
In fact, my face is hardly seen in the frame.
Only a portion of my bearded jaw line is visible.
Locks tied up and flowing down my back.
Half of a hearty laugh frozen in time on my face.
Her face is aglow.
Toothy smile.
Eyes wide open.
Joy [...]

#56 The Great Debate: Toilet Seat Up or Down?

September 18th 2009

It’s been years since I’ve shared an address with a woman, but based on countless movies and sitcoms, the age-old battle still exists—should a man leave the toilet seat up or down? Personally, I always do the latter because I don’t like a dusty seat (TMI), but not all of my male counterparts even consider [...]

#55 How Can She Be Independent If a Man Always Pays?

September 18th 2009

Back in July I did a post called, “How Much Do You Spend on a Date? (Cheap Women)” that basically validated my theory that most women don’t plan on spending a dime when they go out with a guy. To prove my point, I polled a bunch of guys and gals about their dating spending [...]

#53 Do Men Have to Look at Women? (Fighting Temptation)

September 17th 2009

A few weeks back I was hanging out with my homegirl Bre and her friend Tiffany. After grabbing something to eat at a local diner, the ladies kidnapped me and dragged me along for an impromptu shopping excursion.
After tolerating their tedious towel selection process at Bed Bath & Beyond, we wound up at Target. Nobody [...]
