The Grass Ain’t Always Greener: Finding Love in the Big City, Part XIV
03.07.08 | Permalink | 3 Comments

In such a digital world, we have so little time to just reflect on our hopes and dreams before our peaceful thoughts are interrupted by the blaring of someone’s inane ring tone or someone doing the two-step to their favorite club jam brought to you by iPod, iTunes, Zune and all of the others [...]

Lies, Lies, Can’t Believe a Word they Say! Part 2: Finding Love in the Big City, Part XIII
02.24.08 | Permalink | 5 Comments

If you remember the last time you were in a sex drought, getting it is exciting and reminds you that damn it I’m still alive and someone still think I’m fine. Well, that is what it felt like. Just like any high, eventually you come down and start asking questions and really consider what happened and [...]

Back into the swing of the dating pool, feeling more confident about having attracted more people, getting more looks on the subway ride to work (aside from the homeless men looking at me as if I’m a Human ATM Machine), I decide to diversify my assets. . . see what it’s like to date more [...]

Now that I am more comfortable with this role, let’s get on with it!With my First Date [...]

Dance with Me: Finding Love in the Big City, Part XI
02.04.08 | Permalink | 3 Comments

After about a week of wondering if he is going to call or was he indeed a bullshitter like the rest, Secret Admirer calls and we chat it up.
At first glance, I can’t really tell what his ethnicity is and I’m curious. It’s rare to meet someone where you aren’t sure what box they check. [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

So it is two days out from the celebration of the new year; when I should be concerned with finding a cute outfit for New Years Eve, I am slapped with reality - getting dumped - yes that’s right - DUMPED.
Since I finally passed the blubbering stage (all of two hours ago), I am [...]

Reading Rainbow: Calling Out For Help
12.10.07 | Permalink | 10 Comments

There was a time when I would read one book a week. In order to save time between books I would purchase three books at a time just so I could do back to back reading. My purchases of books never took place inside a regular bookstore, it was actually the street vendors that supplied my reading material.
