Do All Men Prefer Skinny Women?
Sunday, March 7th, 2010FYI Ladies: Only Sociopaths Feel Nothing
Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010Do men have feelings? The question is so ridiculous that it doesn’t warrant an answer. Ignore all the talk of how men are socialized (though it is a factor in how men do or do not express their emotions) and disregard suggestions that men need to express themselves more openly (that’s woman speak for “like us”). The simple fact is that the question I started this paragraph with is one that no man would ever ask. Why? Read More
March Is Man Month
Sunday, February 28th, 2010Ladies, raise your right hand if you think you know everything there is to know about your man. You know, like what makes him tick. I’m figuring many of you have a hand up. Okay. Now, how many of you think your man knows everything about you, about what makes you tick? Let me guess, your hands are in your lap. Read More
IT’S OVER

Away From Her
Thursday, February 25th, 2010True story. It’s New Year’s Eve. My crew and me were not only ringing in the New Year, we were also celebrating my cousin T’s birthday. His girlfriend and my girlfriend were like batty an’ bench (that’s like fric and frac for the non-Jamaican massive). We gathered at my boy Charles’ place for our big bashment. Liquor? Check.

Hello Granny Panties, Goodbye Morning Wood
Saturday, February 20th, 2010I was young. So was she. But my relationship with Joanne was the first ‘grown up’ connection I’d ever had with a woman. By grown up, I refer not only to our respective ages, but also to our respective life circumstance. I had recently graduated and was living on my own in Toronto for the first time. Joanne was still in school, but had also recently escaped the clutches of her parents. Read More

I LOVE YOU
Monday, February 15th, 2010SAM SHARPE, SKYE BLUE and ELIZABETH ROSE
.
I’ve got to be honest. Hearing those three little words doesn’t do it for me. It doesn’t move me to praise God or my lover. Nor does it make me run for cover. No, hearing a woman say “Sam, I love you” at worst makes me cringe a little and at best makes me do a little inner shoulder shrug Read More
Meeting The Fam
Friday, February 12th, 2010
How soon should you introduce your new “stucky” to your family? I’ve gone back and forth on this one. In my younger days I wouldn’t hesitate to introduce the lady in my life to my siblings and my mother. Collectively these three individuals are my best friends, mi compadres. I depend on them for sage advice. Their opinions matter. Read More
On The Wings of Love? (The First Trip)
Tuesday, February 9th, 2010I recently enjoyed brunch with Annik and Charles, an old university friend. While waiting for our food to come we became engrossed in a conversation about our favourite places to travel. While pontificating about the superiority of Berlin over Amsterdam as an overall experience, I was interrupted by Charles who thought it was the right time to ask: Read More
