BABY MOMMA DRAMA

Addicted to FACEBOOK

When asked about the social networking site Facebook, most will try to downplay the role that it plays in their day to day lives.

On May 1, 2012, at approximately 10:30 am, this writer was ambushed with a demand for a divorce.  Much of my identity was tied up in my role as a husband and father so this hit me extremely hard.  For the rest of the day I was in a daze and about 8:00 pm I started having very, very dark thoughts.  Fortunately a beautiful young Canadian National choose that time to ask me how my day was going.  I’m sure she got much more of an answer than she bargained for but she suggested that we Skype.  She refused to […]

Surviving The GIRL CODE

He had her at hello: Keisha found herself gazing up at the tall man and smiling like a school girl as he went on about the new exhibit in town.   She suddenly realized she’d been holding her breath, transfixed on his smooth skin and pearly white teeth until he finally asked her if she’d like to accompany him to the History Museum on Saturday.  After she agreed and contact information was exchanged, Matt didn’t just excuse himself to mingle, much to the chagrin of the other ladies in the happy hour crowd.  He actually sat with her, paid for her drinks […]
