01.31.08 | Permalink | 5 Comments

Back in the swing of things again, lady OP went on her first date in a very long time. He isn’t quite black… but he isn’t quite white… So what is he?
In a rare moment, at work when I didn’t have to help someone out, direct someone to the nearest restroom, or diffuse a potential [...]

Something Better Than An iPhone
01.26.08 | Permalink | 4 Comments

Well folks, it would seem that Chocolate tastes better than Apples.
The good people who brought you the Chocolate phone featured on the Verizon Wireless Network have gone farther than Apple and their iPhone. They’ve got this cool gadget that makes me want to switch to Verizon, if it actually gets made. My only question now [...]

Tales of An Oreo: Do you need a face towel?
01.25.08 | Permalink | 6 Comments

What makes you black? Is it the way you walk? The way you talk? How you wear your clothes? How about your shower habits?
I’ve been called an Oreo many times in my life. I’m used to it although I don’t identify with it. This past weekend, I found my Blackness being questioned by another black [...]

Finding Love in the Big City, Part IX: A New Outlook Courtesy of an Old Soul
01.23.08 | Permalink | 5 Comments

So when we last saw Lady OP, she was unfortunately splayed out on the canvas by a sucker punch. So I have swatted the stars that were flying about my head, dusted myself off and am ready to jump back into the shallow end dating pool… well at least I think I am. The hardest [...]

Remembering King
01.21.08 | Permalink | 2 Comments

Today is the holiday known as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day. If I have that incorrect don’t shoot me. I know today is a day off for most. Some people in our future won’t even understand the impact of the man’s work. Others won’t care to remember, they’ll just relish in the privilege of [...]

Who Are You Voting For?
01.18.08 | Permalink | 4 Comments

After working the weekend, I’ve come to the conclusion that people are just as confused as I am as to who they may vote for president.
Here I am having a discussion with the Orange Phoenix, a blogger of Urban Observation, and a couple of other people of color. Someone happens to bring up the topic [...]

Black People Don’t Read
01.15.08 | Permalink | 4 Comments

If you want to keep information from black people put it in a book.
Years ago, in my youth, I overheard someone make that comment. It took me a minute to understand and realize the impact of their words. It didn’t actually make sense to me considering I was in school and had to read a [...]

Politics and Sex

I love the laughs that come out of politics. I think we can all use a boost after the emotional breakdown that Female Clinton experienced just the other day.
If you’re familiar with the Obama Girls then you’ll enjoy this video.

I Woke Up…
01.08.08 | Permalink | 2 Comments

I woke up this morning
Knowing that tomorrow isn’t promised and I am able to experience today.
I walked out my door this morning
After preparing myself for what is a day unknown.
I walked down the stairs this morning
And saw a little girl lost in the haze of marijuana.
I walked to the train station this morning
Knowing that life is precious [...]

Knight Rider

So I hear NBC is bringing back Knight Rider. Oh happy day… I hope they do it better than what they’ve done to The Bionic Woman, something they should have left alone.

If they can bring back the A-Team I’d be a happy camper.
