This post is inspired by a very moving and honest post on In My Sunday Best, where blogger Sade openly discusses her experience with relationship rejection. Read it and reflect; I appreciated her candor and discussing the inspiring lessons she learned about herself. As I read it, it reminded me so much of my own …
The Watched Pot.
Never boils. Specifically: A watched pot never boils. Time moves slowly when you're waiting or watching for something to happen. I've been thinking about those words this week, specifically because my mother said them to me on the phone. During our conversation a few days ago, I hinted at one of the major Worries for a …
Blogtober #5: The Autumn Boyfriend
Y'all know I'm a singleton, right? If you didn't know: I'm a singleton. I enjoy my singleton life immensely, but yeah, full disclosure: I also want that demographic to change. And I have to tell you, dear reader, that the desire to change my singleton status becomes even more heightened when autumn settles over the atmosphere. …

Why relegate candy to your sweet tooth? Shall we not have candy for the eye, too? This is Superman. I know, I know: you thought Superman wasn't real you thought Superman was Christopher Reeve.

Let's get to it. This is Chadwick Boseman. You may have seen him in 42, or Get on Up, or the latest rendering of Captain America, or the recently released trailer for Black Panther, which gave you, me, and everyone currently living enough life to last for more life. I mean... I chose the photo …

It's been a while since we discussed Wednesday lovelies. Here's one for your consideration. You know how I feel about him. I discussed his blueprint status here. Before my dear Idris, it was him. It's still him. You know how you'll never forget your fourth-grade crush even though you're now in college and your current "true …
Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee.Â
I'll begin by reminding you, my dear reader, that I stopped drinking coffee in 2008. (See the story about the drums here.) This doesn't mean that I don't long for it like I long for the key to our villa. In fact, I miss that warmth and aroma like crazy. I've been guilty of sitting …

Because repetition is often the best teacher. Because he is always and forever bae. Because broken record status is the best place to be. Because look at that face. (My goodness.) Because come on. Because black is the color of my true love's hair. Happy Wednesday.
