Should Niggaz Wit Attitudes (NWA) be in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame?

Well let’s consider the criteria: “It must be 25 years after their debut album.” Well, my computer-like mind tells me that from 1988 when they released “Straight Outta Compton” until now is 25 years. (Damn, I feel old.) “The influence and significance of the artists’ contributions to the development and perpetuation of rock and roll.”  Well, no doubt about it, they had a huge influence, and let me tell you, it was significant! I mean, like Dr. Dre said himself, they started that gangsta shit. (That’s where I have a problem, but we’ll get back to that a little later.) […]

Friends With Benefits Part 2

Last week I addressed the fellas, now on to my ladies. Girls, I just have to say it; this friends with benefits thing is a fail in the grand scheme of things. I realize we live in the day and age of “I am woman hear me roar,” “I love me,” “I’m getting mine,” “A girl got needs,” etc. But if we would really keep it 100% real with ourselves, we don’t want to just be a physical release outlet for our “buddies”…do we? Ok, so we’re busy with careers and kids, so we’re up to our eyeballs with the lies […]

The Married Man’s Choice

I’m at a grocery store, and I see Tim. Tim is the father of my daughter’s classmate. Tim is married. We stop. We talk about school, the kids, and the Lakers. We laugh. We say goodbye. I arrive at my car with a note stating, “Let’s meet privately…soon.” I smile. I’m at a hotel lobby having a drink. I meet Matt. Married for 13 years, two daughters, and very handsome. We shared a drink, and I learned he was an accountant from Chicago here on business. After a half hour, he left. But before he did, he gave me his […]

How to Win at Facebook Romances

So you’re in a secret Facebook group with some really cool people from all across the country. Some know each other, but many have never actually met in person. You all are just like-minded people that the page administrator thought would be a good mix to make interesting conversation while you pass the day away during downtime. At some point, you start to get a feeling for the various online personalities in the group. The Topic Master, who keeps the conversation going with interesting post; The One Line Artist, who keeps you laughing; the Laughers, who LOL at the drop […]

Forgiveness

Forgiveness. Why do we have to forgive? Is there really any good in forgiveness? Someone sent a question to my Facebook page on the topic of forgiveness and restoration. What I found out is that many people have a problem with forgiving. We know that it is humanly impossible to actually forget the event(s) that occurred where someone caused harm or hurt to you. But with forgiveness, it is possible to move on and gain some insight as to why that person caused harm to you and possibly restore that person. If we look outside ourselves for a moment and […]

How to Not Get a Second Date

Last month, I got an email from my Plenty of Fish account alerting me that someone wanted to meet me. Cautiously optimistic, I logged in and was thrilled to see someone who was very photogenic and had an extremely well written profile, showing humor and insight. I left her a message that she responded to. After some witty banter, we swapped numbers and agreed to meet for a coffee date. The meet and greet went well, so, at her suggestion, we agreed to meet for sushi and sake. We were both five minutes early, which is a tremendous turn on […]
