Read It Because I Wrote It…
I took some time off because my schedule tends to get pretty busy around Father's Day. Once that passed, I was mentally and spiritually preparing myself for my return to Virginia for the first time in over three years. In spite of declaring that I would never return, I always knew deep down that I... Continue Reading →
A friend once said to me nothing about my life is simple and made the joke "You would be the one to go to Morehouse and have a kid with the one Puerto Rican girl there!" I laughed because it was funny and that would happen to me. That goes back to something I always... Continue Reading →
Today's post is building upon what I wrote yesterday. I was on another date with the girl I wrote about Tuesday evening. En route to our destination I handed her my phone to play DJ because she had earned the privilege by playing UGK. She said she was in a different mood and being the... Continue Reading →
This is the first of three posts that are linked together. With as much as I write about being a single father, very rarely to I divulge in detail about my dating life. I have alluded to, given general information, and so on, it isn't something I talk about in an active capacity. But I'm... Continue Reading →
A few nights ago, after tucking Cydney into bed, she looked at me, and said she wanted to have "girl-boy talk." "I want to talk about Timile and _____." She then let me know what she is looking for which essentially is for me to get married. The conversation ended with her laying on my... Continue Reading →
Cydney discovered Jay Z's version of "Hard Knock Life" and her mind was blown. Whenever she hears a song that she likes she will ask "What's the name of this?" Sometimes she'll nod her head to the beatand others she'll give the stank face like she knows the song is hot. She did both. It... Continue Reading →
My favorite RUN-DMC song isn't "Walk This Way," "Run's House," "My Adidas," or any of the classics that are often associated with the Kings of Rock. It's an album cut off of their last album and I don't know many who even know a song with RUN-DMC, Nas, and Prodigy of Mobb Deep exists...but I... Continue Reading →
Last night I was supposed to write; but I was too tired to do so. After the nightly ritual/struggle of putting Cydney to bed I sat down on the couch and started flipping through channels. I stopped on BET seeing that it was 10:35pm and Nellyville was on. I watched most of last season and... Continue Reading →
Cydney can't help herself... She's no longer a baby nor a toddler. My four year old is becoming a little kid. It's kind of bittersweet because I miss the infantile days; but I love the little person she's becoming. While her hair is getting longer, her features more defined, and taller; it's her personality that... Continue Reading →
I had to take yesterday off...I was tired. It was Mid-August of 2012. My family and I were at our church’s annual picnic at Eisenhower Park in Long Island and it was coming to a close. Earlier in the day I got a concussion by hitting the back of my head on a low-sitting tree... Continue Reading →
