What is up? Yeah, yeah, yeah I know it's been almost a year since I've written a blog post. I wish I had a really cool reason like I was out seeing the Great Pyramids in Eygpt or something like that, but nope. A nigga was just busy as fuck. I now have three teenage girls living with me. The crazy thing about being a single parent is that it is really easy to get caught up in life. And to be honest, this shit is tiring. Anywho, today I want to talk about why I don't talk. A few ground rules first: I DO NOT want people reaching out to me telling me, "Well you can talk to me whenenver..." (more ..read more

Okay. I know, I know. I've haven't wrote a blog post in about two months. And really, I don't have a good reason why. I've been busy. Really busy actually. I started dating my ex girlfriend again. She even moved in with me. And I had a lot going on with trying to get her settled in and trying to make that work. Which is odd within itself, because (and I know you might find this hard to believe) but I haven't lived with a woman since I was 19 years old. And that lasted about eight months. Yeah I know right? Crazy. But oh well. Anyway. I know that some of my blog posts are funny. Some are serio ..read more

Here we are, back again! A couple of months ago, I wrote a post about Ayanna having a her first real puppy love "boyfriend". Feel free to back and read that post if you like, however, the abridged version is that she got a "boyfriend", then snuck off to a party to meet up with him, Detective Daddy figured out the plot, and she barely escaped with her life. Well folks. I'm sorry to say that relationship is over. She got dumped. Okay, I'm not sorry. I never really wanted my baby to be out here liking boys at 13 anyway. So I'm sorry if I'm not going to be pouring out liquor for the little homie ..read more

Annnndddd we're back. Two weeks later. And another blog post. Again, thank you for taking the time to read the rambling thoughts that come out of my mind. It really means a lot to me. I've had people come up to me and tell me how much they enjoy reading my posts. And thank you. For real. I started doing this because I know I'm not the only man out there who is raising kids by myself. More importantly, I know I'm not the only BLACK man out there raising kids alone. I'm not a unicorn. There are black men out there doing the damn thing raising their kids and having these same struggles as I have ..read more

(Editors Note: This post is going to make some of you all uncomfortable. Well, as the kids say...IDGAF.) I've been allergic to dairy my whole life. When I was a kid, my Mom used to have her best friend make my birthday cakes because her friend knew how to make cakes that I could eat. I don't know what a cheeseburger tastes like. I'll probably never know what it's like to chili cheese fries on a hot summer day at a baseball game. I mean it really does kinda suck. Shit, I'm missing a whole food group. And I'm used to it enough now that when people say, "Omg, that's so horrible that you live lik ..read more

Hola. There's already enough bad news everyday about what is going on in the world. With schools being closed, people working from home, and generally avoiding people like the plague (literally) life has definitely changed. Who knew that in 2020, going to Walmart could be a life or death pimp decision that you would have to make. Or that toilet paper would have the same worth as Top Ramen in jail. I just bought a package of toilet paper, twelve rolls, last night. I haven't bought toilet paper in a month. And living with girls, we go through a helluva lot of toilet paper. We been depending on ..read more

Hola. All great things come in trilogies. Lord of the Rings. The Matrix. Star Wars. Star Wars, again. And Star Wars a third time. Star Wars is a trilogy of trilogies. And if you don't like Star Wars, you're not American. Fight me bro. So I'm writing part three in my Dating Game series. There might be fourth one. But hey, who knows. I'm making this shit up as I go along. If you haven't read the first two posts, please take a few minutes and go back and read them, please and thank you. It's not like you have to read the first two to read this one. However, I think they're a good way to find out ..read more

This will be my last blog post as a 40 year old man. I'll be 41 on Monday. Man, 41 years old. Boy, I'm old. Don't give me that stuff about "you're only as old as you feel..." and "your best years are ahead of you". I'm a realist. The party is about half over. And I'm trying to make it a helluva ride to the finish. But, I do take monetary presents and donations to the cause. So, as the famous quote from that all time great movie Coming To America goes, "We'll take the type of money that jingles, but we would rather the type of money that folds." God Bless. As I think about my journey to Chapte ..read more

As you all know, I love my kids. Ever since they were babies, I've vowed to love them, protect them, and do my best to raise them into positive adults. And, when they were little, they would follow me around. They would laugh and joke around with each other. And for the occasional mishap where they would have to get grounded or in trouble, they were pretty decent little girls. Okay, now they're teenage girls. And I swear to God, that sometimes I look at them and I'm like, "Who the fuck are these people? And where did my babies go?" I don't mean like, "Awww I wish they were little kids..." kin ..read more
