The Source For Black Male Perspective
Recently, but not for the first time, a frustrated friend-girl of mine asked if men are looking for “the perfect woman?” I answered simply: Yes. She seemed caught off guard by both the quickness of my response and the fact that I didn’t need to think about my answer. Of course men are looking for [...]
Have you ever been to happy hour and started to wonder exactly who you were meeting? Wouldn’t it be great if you could tell from jump that this guy is a complete stage five clinger? That would be so nice, but it’s just not always possible. Regardless, I took the time to jot down the [...]
Over the weekend, I got it in my head to go help my father do some housework. As my father gets older, he really needs a helping hand getting things done around the yard and in the house. Last weekend’s project was to pick up some flooring from a warehouse and store them in the [...]
May 16th, 2012 – Journal Entry #1 I’m growing concerned about the state of the black blogosphere. I’m growing concerned about the reluctance of readers to internalize honesty. I’m growing concerned by the reticence of writers. I’m irritated by the emphasis on article titles that emphasize insecurity. I’m annoyed by our increasing hypersensitivity that awakens [...]
As we head into the second round of the NBA Playoffs, I can’t help but to reflect on all of the injuries that occurred in the first round. An injury to Derrick Rise is the only reason I did not receive a 100% on my first round Eastern Conference predictions…smh! Anyway, it’s time for Joe [...]
I’ve was involved with a man for about 9 months and as naïve as this may sound, things were great throughout the duration of the relationship. We were in committed monogamous relationship in which he initiated and pursued. Through the entire relationship, he pushed to ‘make it official,’ but based on his lifestyle and age [...]
I’m a man who is exclusively sexually attracted to women. By definition this makes me heterosexual. Although I’m heterosexual I’m 100% in favor of equal rights for homosexuals. I don’t understand blatant homophobia and worse I don’t get legislation that limits the rights of gays. In a broader sense I don’t support any legislation that [...]
I recently got an email from the producer, Jay Ali, about a new web series called Black and Single. No, it’s not Steve Harvey pushing a new book or the New York Times riling us up for pageviews. It’s the humorous stories of a single black male and single black woman and their adventures [...]
I don’t know why, but people like forwarding me links to “interesting” content around the web. Last week was no exception. Someone suggested I check out a YouTube video about a book that came out a few years ago that I’d never heard of, A Black Girls Guide to Dating White Men. The author, Niki [...]
The Second Round of the NBA Playoffs is underway, and this is when series get competitive (sorry, Knick fans). My first round Western Conference predictions went pretty well (…despite the Grizzlies, who can’t score 75 points at home). Anyway, it’s time for Jay C00ke and I to update our predictions for the playoffs: (1) San [...]
