Soundtrack to a Break Up (Part 3)
The beautiful thing about music—R&B in particular—is that there’s usually a song that can capture a specific moment in your life almost perfectly. The lyrics may not have anything to do with what you’re going through at all, but hearing certain songs can remind you of what you were doing at a particular time. For [...]
A Brother’s Message to His Lil’ Sister (The Birds & Bees)
PRELUDE: Yesterday was my little sister’s 20th birthday. They grow up so fast don’t they? Despite an almost 13 year gap between us, she and I have a special bond. I would do anything for each one of my siblings, but with her being the only girl in the house full of boys, I’ve always [...]
Things Women Don’t Understand About Men
Two-and-a-half weeks ago I did a piece for Essence.com called “10 Things Men Don’t Understand About Us (Women).” After that ran, I decided to post the raw and uncut transcripts HERE on NakedWithSocksOn.com, which set off a heated battle of the sexes.

Would You Date a Divorcee? (The Failed Marriage Stigma)
Over the course of the last few weeks it seems like conversations about marriage and divorce keep coming up. We’ve discussed prenups and infidelity, but the other day I started wondering about the other side of that coin. What really happens once the love is gone? How is life different for a divorcee once all [...]
MILF Awards 2009 (Celebrity Crush Special Edition)
Being that Mother’s Day was yesterday I figured I’d do some sort of tribute to all the moms out there. At first I was going to do a standard “I Love My Mama” post, but that just seemed way too cliché. See, we do things a little bit different over here on NakedWithSocksOn.com. So in [...]
My First 100 Days in (Unemployment) Office
Good morning my fellow Sock Heads, It’s hard to believe but today marks my 100th day in office—unemployment office that is—and being that I know way more unemployed people than I do employed these days, I felt it only right I took a moment to address you, the people. Now if you’ve been rockin’ with [...]
