Wordless Wednesday: Over The Edge

Angel Taylor – Lost in the Fog

Music is as subjective as ice cream, we all have a flavor that resonates with us, whether it’s deep rich chocolate blues or a nutty flavored Amaretto.
I was assigned the task to review Ms. Taylor’s new album and at first I was hesitant — not wanting to say the “wrong” thing, but as I thought [...]

The Friend Zone

Whether you’re a single person or in a relationship, being friendly or cordial with someone who likes you shouldn’t be a task. However, it can actually be hard to deal with someone on a friendship basis, when they have feelings that go beyond a platonic friendship.
It strikes me as funny how people can be so [...]

What Comes After Bronze? – Part Uno: Finding Love in the Big City XXVI

The starter pistol explodes…
And she’s off ladies and gentleman – that girl is burning that midnight oil: getting to know him, liking him and is ready to give that subtle yet gentle reminder that my pants are already down and I’m waiting for you to notice. . . (circa episode XII) look.
Here’s the big BUT: [...]

Three Years and A Day…

Three years and one day ago Urban Observation was founded. And so today we celebrate, one day late. Pardon me as I’m on CP Time (explanation below).
With a search for Love from The Orange Phoenix, insights and reflections of life from the mind of Dan-Sean Mankind — whom both contribute great poetry — we try [...]

The Lost Episodes: Finding Love in the Big City XXV

Time waits for no one and that is oh so explicitly clear as I hear my biological clock “tick tock” louder than the ocean. Not saying that the ocean noise isn’t lovely and all, but hot diggity.
It seems that marriage is all around me — everyone I know is either shacking up, thinking about shacking [...]

I pretty much don’t care about what I put on in [...]

Disappearing Acts

You ever have those people who can be considered extras in your life? The folks that don’t really have a supporting role or a main part within your life yet they are a constant staple in the background?
Well, for me, I find myself noticing those folks who sit on the bench or are in front [...]

Thoughts for Thursday: Above Reproach

Someone inquired about my whereabouts — you know who you are. I’ve been out of touch and out of reach, but hope to get back to a regular blogging schedule. More on where I’ve been and  my thoughts on that experience later.
Random Thoughts:
This is a blog post I’ve been working on in my head. Not [...]

Dirt Nap

I dug a hole
Then I fell inside
I lie…
I was pushed inside
By my foolish pride

A Long Goodbye – Memory of Mike

For MJ
When you got your assignment from the spiritual realm above,
you took yours seemingly with no complaints –
the cost of being a living version of love
the slings and arrows of gross injustices
and at times

If knowing that the cost of being human -
Loving,
