Am I Too Old For Hickies? (It’s Just a Love-Bite, Baby)
If you read yesterday’s post, you’ll already know that I had a pretty long week but I made it through to blog another day. During the course of my tri-borough trek from Brooklyn to Queens to Brooklyn to Manhattan and back to Brooklyn—which started at 5am mind you—I got the opportunity to people watch. One [...]
Recession Depression (Help, I Can't Take It Anymore)
I always try to keep a positive outlook. I often tell myself that this is a good time for creative folks. This is the kind of environment where dreams become reality. Since there’s nothing left to lose, I have everything to gain. But no matter how many pep talks you give yourself, we all eventually [...]
The Morning After (Baby, Can We Just Cuddle?)
It was the morning after… I ravaged her body. She had let me do any and every thing I wanted. My only mission was to please her so “any and every thing I wanted” was all that she desired. All that she needed. It was the morning after… Our mutually fulfilling endeavor had catapulted our [...]
Did Kelis Get Too Much Child Support From Nas?
Back in May, I did a post on the impending divorce of Nas and Kelis and how a prenupt could have saved them some stress in the long run. Well, based on recent developments, it seems that sentiment rings truer now more than ever. Last week—a day after Kelis gave birth to the couple’s son, [...]
I Can’t Date Her, She Has My Mom’s Name (It's Like Incest)
The other day I found myself in the midst of an interesting conversation with my boys Steve and Anthony. At some point Steve asked Anthony what was up with this girl they had met at Prospect Park last weekend. “I can’t talk to her, son,” said Anthony, flatly. “Why not,” asked a bewildered Steve. “Her [...]
Sorry You Missed It (Anniversary Party Recap Video)
A lot of people have been hittin’ me up asking about pics from the anniversary party a couple weeks ago. Sorry, I didn’t have my camera with me that night (shocker) and had to rely on other folks to post them on FaceBook or email a few my way (I’m still waiting). Besides that, I’m [...]
My First Blind Date & It’s On Tape (How’d I Do?)
I’ve been on my fair share of dates over the years, but until two weeks ago I never had a blind date. Although I’ve never had a bad date (except for that time where a woman brought two other people along for the ride that I mentioned the other day), the idea of meeting a [...]
How Much Do You Spend on a Date? (Cheap Women)
A few weeks ago I was writing a piece for Essence magazine on dating in a recession and how a man’s spending habits change when you’re unemployed. (You can look for that in the October issue, which is due on stands in September). During the rewrite process, my editor questioned me on a line where [...]
