Morning Monologue: Would You Let Your Wife Strip?
As you can imagine, Day One of my new life was extremely long. I hustled in front of the computer all day, updating people about my departure from my job and plans for the immediate future. Having a database of contacts that 1,500 people deep, it took a minute to reach out to everyone and [...]
Morning Monologue: I Got Fired & Got Inspired
Yesterday I was fired. Well, technically I was laid off due to budget cuts, but in some strange way “fired” just sounds stronger to me. It’s an active word and has more zing to it than laid off. Yawn. No matter what word is used to describe what occurred it all ends the same, with [...]
Can’t Buy My Love (The Upside to a Recession)
Okay, everyone—myself included—keeps crying about the recession. No one has any disposable income and we all live in constant fear of losing our 9-to-5 (well, those of us that still have jobs at least). It’s a reality we have to accept or wallow in. Well, I think I may have found an upside, a silver [...]
One Size Doesn’t Fit All…Well, Actually
It came to my attention the other day while talking with my homegirl Tanisha that some men are walking around with Magnums when they shouldn’t. This information came to me when Tanisha told me about a recent rendez vous with a new lover. The evening went well and Tanisha decided she was ready to take [...]
A Picture’s Worth, Pt. 4 (Birthday Surprise)
PRELUDE: Sometimes you need to step back from a situation to see it more clearly. At the top of the year I posted a story called “A Picture’s Worth.” It was a three-part epic revolving around one long-ass day that resulted in “April,” the woman that the story was based on, to take offense (See [...]
Morning Monologue: I Had a Dream I Was Car Jacked
I couple weeks I posted about a bad dream I had. I don’t often remember my nocturnal thoughts so the fact I remembered it vividly meant something to me so I reached out to you guys to get some help on analyzing it. Well, I had another crazy dream and figured since you guys did [...]
Thanx For the Love
I just wanted to say thanx (sorry, I like to spell it that way) for everyone that came out to the NakedWithSocksOn.com relaunch/belated birthday party last Thursday. I had a blast and greatly appreciate the love. It’s two days later and I’m still hung over. I guess five vodka cranberries (that I remember) on an [...]
Who Cares About Their Ex’s Love Life
The other day I was reading my friend Lucky’s blog, Dope Penmanship, and she wrote a post about an ex-boyfriend that had done her dirty and recently found himself on the receiving end of heartbreak (I’ll have to do a separate post on my theory about that). Lucky and her ex’s breakup occurred years ago [...]
