Hey, Sock Heads,
Thanx for checking in for another weekend post courtesy of the Modern Day Matchmaker, Paul Carrick Brunson. Last week he posed the question of whether or not people were truly willing to invest in love. The feedback was great and made for a great conversation as always.
Well, Paul’s back once again with another [...]

PT. 1
Mark grabs me again, with force. He looks at me deep and true. Leaning in slowly, he kisses me. Then, he grabs my face, pulling me in closer and passionately donating his lips and tongue to our non-verbal communication.
I feel his hands and arms wrap around my waist and [...]
WORDS BY SKYE BLUE
The other day while I was visiting my mother we got to talking about our extended family, and I made the mistake of mentioning that Charmaine, one of my younger cousins, was “thinking about” moving in with her boyfriend, Dean. I say mistake because as soon as she heard the words “moving [...]
Greetings, Sock Heads,
Last weekend, I made a couple of announcements. The first was the launch of the @ThatsABadLook Twitter page (full dot com coming sooner) and the second was regular video content on Saturdays. Yup, that means six days of NWSO—even God rested on the seventh day.
With that said, I’d like to introduce y’all to [...]
WORDS BY DAVE JACKSON
I open the door and there Mark stood, staring at me. He hasn’t said a word—nor have I.
Mark rushes me with the force of a linebacker trying to stop a running back on fourth and one. My body slams against the wall as his intensity rises. He’s breathing heavy and looking longingly [...]
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 [...]
Adapted from “You Don’t Have To Lie to Kick It,” by Zach Davis
I initially decided to write this after I had heard some troubling headlines in the news. One of my favorite football players was murdered, and another man had boiling water poured on his genitals. Both were done by women they were dealing with [...]
Am I the woman of your dreams?
She said, I was unresponsive. I heard her but my mind was suddenly blank, strangely blank considering she was snuggled up to me. I heard every word, I understood what she was asking, but my usually glib response eluded me.
Was she the woman of my dreams?
She was… and [...]
Hey Sock Heads,
NWSO took the day off to enjoy President’s Day so you’ve got another dose of genius from me today. Being that yesterday was Valentine’s Day, I thought I’d show a side of myself people here rarely see.
Most of you probably don’t know, but in my younger days I wanted to be a [...]
I know y’all were probably expecting the second chapter of last week’s Wet Wednesdays post, “In the Heat of the Night, Pt. 1” but consider this a interlude as my homegirl Jada Estrella delivers an equally enticing tale. Enjoy
Have you ever had something happen to you so crazy and so against your character that you [...]
The other day I got a call from my homegirl Karen, who I hadn’t spoken to since last winter. As we were catching up on new developments in each other’s life, Karen revealed that she was stressed out about her daughter’s behavior. At the age of 21 this girl is the mother of an 18-month-old [...]
Hello, Socks Heads,
Being that it’s Black History Month (and let’s not forget every month is Black History Month) I’m feeling real political. Now, I’ve always considered myself in the highest of percentiles when it comes to intellect and since NWSO has giving me a platform to blog more regularly I will use it to flex [...]
