#20 I Saw a Bear in the Projects (Animal Instinct)
I’m known for forgetting my dreams. Not my hopes and aspirations, but those free-flowing thoughts that come to you in the wee hours of the night. Whatever craziness my subconscious mind conceives in those twilight moments where I’m in and out of the terrestrial world are usually forgotten as soon as I open my eyes. [...]
#19 Why Do Mothers & Daughters Fight? (We Need To Cry)
FLASHBACK Date: Sunday, September 17, 2006 Location: The Olive Garden, Times Square Action! As I sit here, with the two women I love most in this world It hurt me to see my sister cry Her poor little eyes turned red as she stares out into the Midtown traffic Trying to hide the shame of [...]
#18 A Hollow Prayer (You Actually Have to Mean the Words)
A big part of Ramadan is daily prayer and reading of the Koran (or Qur’an). As a non-Muslim partaking in my own version of this journey, though, I’ve opted not to read the holy text (not yet at least) but I have been on bended knee at least twice daily to have conversations with God. [...]
#17 Man Starves Wife Until She Had Sex (It Was Legal)
Did anybody else hear about this? I came across a BBC News article the other day about a new law that was passed in Afghanistan that made it perfectly legal for husbands to starve their wives if they refused to have sex. If that’s not crazy enough, this was actually the amended version of an [...]
#16 Michael Jackson Never Spoke To Me (Until Now)
Michael Jackson would have celebrated his 51st birthday today. Maybe I’m alone but it’s actually hard for me to believe he was that old. I guess it makes sense when you actually think about, his career started when he was just five-years old and he was such a constant figure in the worlds of music [...]
#15 I Need Your Votes (Loose Threads, Vol. 7-Best of Feb 09)
Hey, Sock Heads. It’s the final weekend of the month so as always I do my greatest hits recap. Before we get to that, though, I want to thank all of those that helped get NakedWithSocksOn.com nominated in seven categories for the 2009 Black Weblog Awards, but I still need your help for the final [...]
#14 What’s Your Favorite Rain Song? (Ode To The Rain)
I forget how old I was, but there was this song that I made about the rain. Actually, it really wasn’t a song, just one bar I would always say to myself as a kid on rainy days. I’m not sure what part of the world you’re in, but today is one of those rainy [...]
#13 Guys Are Easy If You Smile (When Dames Spit Game)
A while back my homegirl Belle did a blog called “Smile & Say Hi (Plus 6 Ways to Meet Men).” Based on the title, you can pretty much infer what the post was about. Basically, it spoke on what a difference a smile makes in how people perceive you. I myself came to a similar [...]
