True 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.

I was young. So was she. But my relationship with Joanne was the first ‘grown up’ connection I’d ever had with a woman.

This may come as a surprise to my readers, but I have moved in with a previous lover. I am actually all in favour of moving in together (possibly as I travel for work such a lot it doesn’t necessarily limit my polyamorous opportunities). Read More

The thing is I’m not really that much of a romantic. Love, I believe, is an agreement. Love is choosing.
