The award-winning blog covering relationships and hot button issues from an honest perspective

Loose Threads, Vol. 1 (Best Blogs of July ’08)

loose-threads

What’s good, sock heads? I can’t believe it’s March already. Time sure does flies. I feel like it was just the other that I relaunched NakedWithSocksOn.com (props again to my boys over at ROMG for the nifty redesign). At any rate, the readership, commenters and subscribers (click HERE to subscribe) have grown considerably over the past few weeks and I truly appreciate and am humbled by the support.

While some of you have been with me from early on, I know there are a lot of new sock heads that may have missed a few hot topics. In an effort to get those folks up to speed I decided to do a new monthly recap that highlights some of the best blogs of months past. So on the last weekend of every month I’m gonna rummage through my sock drawer and pull out a few classics from the archives and compile them into separate Best Of volumes. (I actually stole got the idea from my fellow blogger Aliya S. King, who does a weekly recap of her dope self-titled blog. She’s the amazing writer that penned Faith Evans book last year and actually inspired me way back when I was still paying dues as a measly assistant, so definitely show her some blog love, too).

I also have to give a shout out to all my Twitter followers who chimed in on possible names for this series. But without further ado, I’m taking it back to my very first month on the Net with my baker’s dozen of best blogs from July 2008.

Enjoy…

UPDATE: If you come across any broken links that got screwed up when I changed domains, please let a brother know. My contact email is above in the toolbar. Thanx NWSO.

 

“I Found Love in This Club”
This was actually a sexy fiction piece I wrote for The Source’s sex issue back in like 2000 that I updated and decided to share as one of my first posts. Maybe it can be a chapter in one of books one day. CLICK HERE to read.

“Michelle Obama Gotta Big Ol’ Butt (Oh, Yeah!!)”
This a horny honoring tribute I made to Michelle’s gluteus maximus way before she became our First Lady. Would you believe I still get hits on this piece? CLICK HERE to read.

“News Flash: Shabba Ranks Spotted in Brooklyn”
If you live in Brooklyn, chances are you’ve seen this dude that I affectionately call “Shabba” who gets on the train in a suit and starts spittin’ reggae songs. I’m laughing just thinking about this one—a definite must-read. CLICK HERE to read.

“Don’t Turn Barack Into Bart Simpson”
This was actually a warning that I think still has even more relevance now that Barack is in office. You’ll just have to CLICK HERE to see what I’m talking about.

“Dear, Irv… (It’s Just A Hole)”
Damn, wasn’t Irv Gotti’s reality show supposed to come back at some point? At any rate, this was an important message I had for Irv and men like him that think with their dicks instead of their heads and disrespect their marriage and family. CLICK HERE to read.

“Intervention: I Get Head in the Strangest Places”
I came across this independent video for a song called “Strangest Places” that featured this rapper getting head from various women in well, strange places. In my opinion the clip was too sexually graphic and a bit homoerotic, so I called the kid out and most people agreed with me. CLICK HERE to read.

“Abandoned Baby Blues”
We all got daddy issues, right? Well, here’s an example of when growing up in a single parent home can affect your adult relationships with the opposite sex. Definitely an emotional one. CLICK HERE to read.

“2 Men, 1 Couch”
Pure comedy. See what happens when I try to get some booty from a girl but end up sleeping on her couch. At some point during the night I get company, but NOT the kind that I wanted. You just have to CLICK HERE and see what I mean.

“News Flash: Men Fake Too”
Apparently women didn’t realize that men fake orgasms too. Here’s where I opened a few eyes about the phenomenon and revealed why I had to fake a few. CLICK HERE to read.

“Back to the Fuuuu-turrrrree (The Office Stalker)”
Having a stalker is always a scary thing; it gets even more uncomfortable when the person works in your office. Shorty was picking out wedding gowns and trying to get hitched, but I wasn't having it and just ran away. CLICK HERE to read.

“My Biggest Turn Offs”
The title says it all, I just compiled 10 things about the opposite sex that make me run for the hills. Most guys and girls agreed with me. CLICK HERE to read.

“The Statute of Limitations on Pu**y”
I had dinner with some friends and this girl told me a story about how she was trying to hold something against the father of her children—who she’s no longer with—that happened 12 years ago. I didn’t agree and said there should be a statute of limitations on sex. CLICK HERE to read.

“My First Orgy… Well, Kinda, Sorta (Pt. 1 & 2)”
I think this story is actually one of my funniest ever. It’s too complicated to explain, but see how I wound up in naked with boxers on in a hotel room with a rapper, two guys and a pair of strippers. CLICK HERE to read.

    Interesting. Thanks for posting.

  • SWEET SHANI

    Great idea because I haven't read all of your earlier blogs since I started reading in the fall.

    BTW, you have some crazy ass stories....

  • MoonStarz

    I love this blog!

    I once fell prey to the assumption that the statue of limitations had expired on my vajayjay only to realize it was going to be held against me and eventually ruin my marriage before it even had a chance to start.
    I came home one night to find my fiancé staring at the ceiling with one of my journals open on his stomach. He barely turned as I came in the room and still staring at the ceiling asked me,

    "Is there anything you want to tell me?"

    Confused I took in the whole situation and tried to come up with an answer that would meet both the sucker punch he'd delivered as well as smooth over what was already becoming a volatile situation.

    "Umm... (Obviously stalling for time) Why are you in bed fully dressed and with your shoes on?"

    Stall method not working, he replies, "Is there anything you want to tell me?"

    Needless to say, the story ends this way, he had been reading through my journals from college (this is about 5 years after college but I'm a packrat) and had come across an entry describing in full detail a sexual encounter I'd had with a friend of ours who had started out as a friend of mine and evolved to be a friend of ours. Hung out at our house, went out with us in groups, celebrated birthdays with us, someone we would consider to be a family friend.

    Now, the sex occurred in college, before I even knew my fiancé but after he read that entry in my journal he accused me of being a liar for never telling him about it. We went through about six weeks of me apologizing and him throwing mini-tantrums about the information he'd come across before he finally called off the engagement, packed his stuff and moved 1200 miles away. In the end he lost a great woman, I lost a great friend (who wants to be involved in that) and I went to the chopping block for something that never expires: old sex.

    That was so very unfair. You didn't do him any injustice. His loss!
