  Stand Clear of the Closing Doors: Finding Love in the Big City XVIII

  08.22.08 | Permalink | 11 Comments

  What is it about this 28th year that is forcing me to delve deeper into (cue the Darth Vader sound effect) DARK SIDE?  So I’m a bit spiritual and I do sort of buy into the whole numerology thing - with that in mind 2 + 8 = 10, which is equal to 1 + [...]

  Lil Wayne: The Poet?!

  08.11.08 | Permalink | 7 Comments

  So I admit it - I, like over 2 million other people in this country, I wandered my way into my nearest music store, others into their favorite website or illegally downloaded Lil Wayne’s Tha Carter III.  Yes, for the first time, I have willingly jumped on the bandwagon, and I have to say, his [...]

  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 [...]

  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 [...]

  Give Thanks!

  11.22.07 | Permalink | 9 Comments

  Thanksgiving is supposed to be about family and turkey (and house hoping). Making excuses to ignore your dietary habits and eating ’til you bust are some of the goals for many today.
  Back in the day I would house hop. I wasn’t one to just stay home (I come from a small home - party of two). [...]

  Finding Love in the Big City, Part VII: Cutting off the Ex’s

  11.01.07 | Permalink | 7 Comments

  After a long hiatus, dear readers, OP (Orange Phoenix) has stumbled upon yet another epiphany on this dating thing.
  So just a general question, how long does one give a potential partner to cut ties with his ex’s?  Is it three months, a couple of weeks after the two people decide that they are going to [...]

  Finding Love in the Big City, Part I

  06.22.07 | Permalink | 5 Comments

  So in a city of 8 million possible love connections (well maybe 4 million as that eliminates women and children) I am starting to wonder if I’m just too picky to find love. So what does love look like - that last embrace or googly-eye thing as your subway pulls off or grasping your partner’s [...]

  Who R you… To tell me I’m nobody when God made me somebody.
  Who R you… Hiding behind that mask, barely concealing your hurt from the world.
  Who R you… Screaming at the child because he/she resembles ol’ boy that did you wrong.
  Who R you… Telling me that I am not capable of love because I’ve never [...]
