#60 End of Days (My Personal Reflections On Ramadan 2009)
Well, folks, here we are at the end of the journey. The completion of a promise to you and to myself.

#58 What Do You Do During a Flight Delay? (Mixed Post)
Technically, you’re not supposed to observe Ramadan while traveling because extraneous activity and changing time zones can make it more difficult. Despite popular belief, Ramadan is not supposed to be difficult. At least that’s what my Muslim friend told me. Well, sometime on Thursday I was informed that I’d have to travel out of town [...]
#57 Faded Picture (How Do You Hold On To Memories?)

Thanx to everyone that continually chime in on the daily [...]
#53 Do Men Have to Look at Women? (Fighting Temptation)
A few weeks back I was hanging out with my homegirl Bre and her friend Tiffany. After grabbing something to eat at a local diner, the ladies kidnapped me and dragged me along for an impromptu shopping excursion. After tolerating their tedious towel selection process at Bed Bath & Beyond, we wound up at Target. [...]
