Ding Dong: Answering and Closing Your Own Doors

My Dad has this phrase that he used to quote to me every time I asked to go to a party or hang with friends back in the day. He would say (in a stern Jamaican voice): “Not every door bell ring yuh must answer.” In other words, it was a “no, you ain’t going,” “you better … Continue reading Ding Dong: Answering and Closing Your Own Doors

Hell-To-The-NO.com!

I refuse to place all young adult Central Florida guys into a box. However...I am seriously beginning to doubt that there are "good men" (my definition) here... Personally, I have had no luck with the guys out here. It’s either “let’s have sex”…or “umm… can we have sex”, or “oh yeah… so are you ready … Continue reading Hell-To-The-NO.com!

Now Reading: “Girl, Get Your Mind Right!”

I don't know why my friends hit me up for relationship advice. I have yet to meet that "knight and shining armor." Thank you Disney for that glass slipper ish and all you other fictional Romeos. Thanks for making women all over think it was just that easy. You know what, not thank you; screw … Continue reading Now Reading: “Girl, Get Your Mind Right!”

Defeating Resistance

I'm an 80's baby. I miss the old school cartoons. Scooby-doo was one of my favorites. But I always wondered why he was always so afraid of everything. Like dude, you're a dog; a big dog at that. I'm sure if you bark the monsters would have instantly run away. I used to get so … Continue reading Defeating Resistance

Be Heard

I loved Angelica growing up. Yeah, she was a bully but she always spoke up! While reading the Chapter Private Women, Public Men in The Myth of Mars and Venus all I could think about was the 19th century; Ms. Beeten’s Book of Household Management. One of the most inspirational authors of the nineteenth century … Continue reading Be Heard

“Tell it like it is”

“Kristen, you have a really unique voice.” I kindly asked my friend “Matt” to explain to me what he meant my labeling my voice into a “unique” category. Was it bad or good? Being that I never spent any special attention to my tone while talking, I was anxious to know from a male perspective … Continue reading “Tell it like it is”

Love, Lust, or Just Fun…

“Romeo, Romeo, Where art thou Romeo?” If he is out there feel free to give him my number, address, and link him to my Facebook account because I have been searching for him. My experiences with love have been barred by a view of false romantics. From the “perfect” Hollywood three month relationships, to the … Continue reading Love, Lust, or Just Fun…
