[...] So to pick up where I left off – my dumb-ass decided to continue on this date against my better judgment. [...]

HEEE HEEE HEEE! I think the comments are hilarious. Natural, you made my day. The thought of Urban “coming out of the closet” has my ribs hurting from laughing.

OP, I don’t know about this guy. Not sure what he got in the big house for but that’s your tip off to how scary he could be. He could be a great guy but a little too intense.

OP: DANG. Jail? Issues? Samsonite? On the one hand I give you thumbs up for taking a chance and being open. I mean, the guy actually sounded kinda sweet what the bike and all that and offering to get you stuff.

On the other hand…the guy doesn’t sound dangerous, just..whacky. I am not sure about all this trying to buy you something. Makes me think about that Greek myth – Persephone? She has to make a trip to the Underworld and is told NOT TO EAT anything but then the Lord of the Underworld offers her some food and she eats 3 pomagrante seeds and has to return to the underworld 3 months out of the year.

I have no idea why I went on this whacked tangent Ok I kinda do in that I think this man’s thought is that if you accept food or anything, now you’re a couple.

I look forward to the rest of the story!

UT: I’m glad I never got confused by the different writers. I only get confused if I don’t pay attention to the author line but then each of you have a different “voice” so usually I can tell int the reading.

When I first started reading your blog, I couldn’t tell your gender. I think if you read your first posts, it’s not clear at all. I had kinda assumed male and then thought – huh- that is some assumption with no clear reason so I had “Unknown” until you either mentioned it via a comment on another blog or here.

You guys are freakin hilarious!! Yes folks, I am a girl in the middle of this man sandwich.

I promise you I think my dating life was meant to entertain instead of finding the right one. Alas – wait till post 3 – it gets worse people. . .

I’m so freaking glad I am not alone. I never look at names and always assume a blog is authored by one person. I thought Urban was a dude, then I read a post about a girl and a Pepsi. I said okay, he’s How You Doin. (NY’ers should know who says that). After I got over that…I said no problem, still a good writer. Then I said he’s flip flopping. LOL. I just learned there was another dude writer on this blog yesterday. 3 in 1, a trinity. I got it. Well then great blog Lady and Gentlemen! Urban, you do take all the pictures right? Your pics are just fab! We’re all on the same page now.

I first met Urban Thought when he commented on a Wordless Wednesday of mine, and I went to check out his blog. My first experience of a name difference was a poem by Orange Phoenix, so I figgered UT uses that very poetic pseudonym when he writes poetry. When I came across the “girl-meets-boy” stuff, I decided that Urban Thought, as all creative writers should, was trying a piece written through the eyes of someone he personally isn’t: in this case, a straight woman. And I thought, DAMN he’s good!

You’re still good. All three of you. But it’s nice to know for sure that you’re three different writers as opposed to three personae of one writer. Thanks for clearing that up.

ROFL!!! Hey, Natural, don’t feel bad….
When I first started reading this blog, I got confused too. On the first few posts I first thought, “okay, Urban is a dude”. Then there was a post about meeting some guy in the city and all that followed, and then I was like “okay, Urban is a GAY dude”. Then he posted in one of his comments about how he appreciated certain attributes of a sista, and then I was like “well, is he Bi?”.
Then Phoenix posted again, once again talking about men, and I actually read the top of the post with her name on it and figured it out! LOL! They are more than one and not the same!
Yeah, Urban, maybe you should put the 3 bios down the sidebar so some of us catch on a bit quicker!

Natural: You put a big smile on my face. I must say.

Just so we are on the same page: There are three of us on this blog. Urban Thought (Male), The Orange Phoenix (Female), Dan-Sean Mankind (Male).

Should I change my name? I kinda like Urban. I’ve been Urban most of my blogging life. Actually, I’ve been Urban for my entire blogging life. Should I change it to just ‘Thought’ or maybe the initials ‘UT’. Hmmm… Nah, I’ll stay with Urban, Urban Thought, and UT. It always depends on who I’m chatting with.

I am currently looking to find a way to have the names on the side or perhaps I should write more detail on the ‘About’ page.

OMG, I just was so confused. Are you a guest blogger, sorry not being a reader from the beginning, I missed that memo or do you both share this blog. I got it now, I think I’ll go have a drink. I feel soooo relieved, the light bulb is on. Thanks for saying something. I will pay more attention to who writes what. Whew. I even emailed this blog to my friends to help me figure it out. Lol. Just brain damaged. I’m tickled to death. lollololololoo
