Are Men to Blame for High Divorce Rates?
Yes, they absolutely are! (That’s right, I SAID IT), which means, if they are the problem, they are also the solution. Men are doing the choosing 99 percent of the time, and as Patti Sanger would say, “your pickers are OFF!” You’re allowing your little head to do the thinking and, as a result, you … Continue reading
The Year of the Lion
I love how the Chinese Zodiac characterizes each year as an animal. Without researching the implications of this, I intend to implement a similar system in characterizing my site. This year, for 30thoughts, will be the year of the Lion. I chose the Lion for 2013 because the lion represents courage, strength and ferocity. If … Continue reading
Memo to HR: You Still Don't Know Me
Reblogged from 30thoughts: I loathe job interviews, mainly because of the useless, irrelevant questions asked during these interviews. What do hiring managers really hope to accomplish by asking canned questions about our work history and future career goals? It all seems pointless, considering numerous underqualified and mentally unstable candidates (hence the term ”going postal”) are being hired each day simply because they are good at … Continue reading
SBF Seeks Long Term Living Arrangement
I know this is not the typical insightful post you’re all accustomed to, but I have unfortunately found myself on the hunt for a new place to live, and the search has been quite entertaining thus far. I despise moving, and had hoped I wouldn’t have to do so again until I was ready to … Continue reading
Answers to Your Common Dating Questions
How come he only texts me, and never calls? He doesn’t want to talk to you, he’s not that into you —My girlfriend isn’t affectionate, why? She doesn’t want to touch you, nor does she want you touching her because she’s not into you—My boyfriend cheated on me, why? She was hot and he’s not … Continue reading
Zoe Saldana is Nina Simone
I did as a I normally do. For weeks now, I sat back and listened to people cry foul because Zoe Saldana landed the leading role as Nina Simone in an upcoming bipoic about the late jazz singer. Some arguments have been convincing, but not enough to make a strong case against Saldana’s portrayal of Simone. … Continue reading
Why Men Should Hit on Women at Church
I was thinking to myself the other day – I have NEVER been hit on at church. Real, genuine churchgoing men are like unicorns, so why when I take my seat in the pews seeing all manner of men before me like I’ve just landed at the other end of the rainbow, I always leave … Continue reading
Are Men Less Concerned About STDs?
If you’re American and you attended high school, you likely took a class called “Sex Education.” I don’t recall learning much about sex per se, but I do remember the gruesome pictures of STD-infested genitalia, presumably shown to convince me to maintain my already intact V-card. I still remember the horrific images of puss-filled sores … Continue reading

The bottom line is, I am a semi-finalist in the 2012 Black Weblog Awards “Best New Blog” category, and I would greatly appreciate your vote. You’ve supported me, engaged me, and encouraged me beyond measure to continue sharing my opinion on … Continue reading
Be With the One You Love…
…or Love the One You’re With? I think it’s safe to say that, in relationships, timing is everything. The chances of meeting someone who feels the exact same way about you at the exact same time, and who wants exactly what you want when you want it has proven to be an anomaly. So, it … Continue reading
