Random rantings of the misfit kind.
Yup, it's another post about dating. Kind of. I guess it's more so about relationships, situationships, buddies, whatever. And apparently, I have a very steep learning curve. Many of you probably remember the late 90s movie, Love Jones (one of my favs!). In the movie, Nina and Darius meet each other at a nightclub (which,... Continue Reading →
Losing "couple" status is quite an interesting experience. In my new-found singledom, I've been finding out some things about myself, about the people interact with, and just life in general. I've been focused on rebuilding my public persona - well, maybe rebuilding isn't the appropriate word, we'll use "redefining" - and I have started to... Continue Reading →
When's the last time you went on an actual date? Like, one where someone asked you out, on a specific day, at a specific time, in which you actually had to get prepared and dress up for it? And maybe they picked you up, or you picked them up, and you both had a nice... Continue Reading →
...just spit the seeds out and keep it moving. Man, it's been a minute for a new post, and for good reason. So many transitions in my life right now, I can barely keep up. I've been up, I've been down, turned practically inside out like Penny from Pee-Wee's Playhouse (I couldn't find the inside... Continue Reading →
It's okay to be alone with yourself. That's what I've been telling myself for the past five days. It's human nature to want to be around people, connect with other souls (no matter how much you may tell yourself that you'd rather be alone). We crave conversation, shared experiences, love, companionship, all those good things.... Continue Reading →
Today, I've taken the time to reflect on what has occurred in my life over the past 365 days (and I urge you all to take a few moments between the partying to do the same). This past year has put me through many tests, of my resiliency, my loyalty, and my heart. I've learned... Continue Reading →
Have you ever found yourself spending so much time and energy focused on how other people feel, checking in on them, never realizing that you've forgotten to figure out how YOU feel, forgotten to check in with you? It's so easy to get caught up in being who others want you to be, and you... Continue Reading →
For the first time in years, I'm actually excited about the Thanksgiving holiday. It's been at least a decade since my family has gotten together; aunts, uncles, cousins, grandma. For many people, that can seem like a hassle, but for me, it's a blessing. The idea makes me nostalgic, reminding me of a much simpler... Continue Reading →
Thursday, April 30th, 1992. A sad, sad day...well, at least for me. From the moment I began watching television, Thursday nights at 8pm were reserved for one thing, and one thing only: a new episode of The Cosby Show. The show, I believe, played an integral part in raising me: it showed me that there... Continue Reading →
I've been complaining about this all day, so it was by sheer chance that the homie @A_Double_U was kind enough to create this soliloquy that expresses my sentiments exactly. Enjoy and check out his blog, Let's Press Rewind! Think Outside the (Chocolate) Box by ANWAR W. on FEBRUARY 14, 2012 If you are like me, you subscribe to the... Continue Reading →
