Introducing Rebel & Rene

July 22, 2010 · 2 Comments

After a conversation with an ex about where our relationship went wrong, I realized that we had to be in two different relationships. How could her version be so different from mine? Well, when they say there are two sides to every story, people are telling you the truth. I have partnered with the wonderful Alix B Golden of A Brown Girl to bring you two sides of the same love story. Even from the beginning there were sparks between Rebel & Rene… Rebel: Taking a deep breath, I rushed out of the powder room bumping into a customer in my haste. A tall customer with hazel eyes and locs.... [Read the full story]

Things Fall Together

August 21, 2010 · Leave a Comment

Nick Keppol I admit our misunderstanding was striking. In one fell swoop I went from aroused to feeling your feisty. I was chillin’ on the couch… laying half-naked, I’ll have you know. So when you asked, “what are you doing,” I could barely open my mouth. When stiffled chuckles spouted out. I sat there thinking, for a moment or two before answering. I worried that my current predicament would be tempted with sultry words coming fromlips. But somewhere along the way I took a wrong turn. We were back at Jump Street. It was so absurd. I said the wrong thing and your head was... [Read the full story]

July 20, 2010 · 2 Comments

If you’ve been following the latest political news, you would know that Shirley Sherrod, a black USDA official from Georgia, was forced to resign a few days ago after ‘edited’ video surfaced on the web which purported to show that she had unfairly discriminated against a white farmer seeking assistance. When the full video was released we learned that not only did she help the farmer, she soul searched prior to doing so and learned a valuable life lesson in the process. The farmer’s wife has since corroborated her statements and confirmed that she did the best she... [Read the full story]

Of All Things

August 21, 2010 · Leave a Comment

Sensitive yet proud are the feelings that carry us Drifting entirely through tiny boxes Oh what irony When love of all things Leaves hearts fluttering I confess to embracing it Holding onto the message My distant longing once met And I suspect there are others Unbeknown to me I see them in your eyes The hurt is stifling But I smooth it over In attempts to set you free We play kissy face While philosophising theories About vast bodies And how a hole resides in me From over indulging in earthy wants and needs But I never stopped loving At any time I also confess To entering rooms better left Locked...

Preparing To Be A Lesbian Dad

September 1, 2010 · 2 Comments

les•bi•an dad n, neologism 1. a. A lesbian or genderqueer parent who feels that traditionally female titles (i.e., “mother”) don’t quite fit, and who is willing to appropriate and redefine existing male ones (i.e., “father”): She was a tomboy when she was a kid, so it’s not surprising she’s a lesbian dad as a parent. b. Often a non-biological parent in a lesbian family, whose role relative to the child in many ways resembles that of fathers. Source (http://www.lesbiandad.net/about/) My daughter is scheduled to be born in November. Yep, we are expecting a baby girl. And like a... [Read the full story]

Your Sexy Intellect

I always noticed you My initial feeling was that you were dope I loved how your thoughts processed And how you played it like your were so… shy I especially like it when You casually bite your lip While side eyeing something I just said And all I probably want Is to be in between both of them I like how...

Black Women’s Interracial Dating Woes

I’ve been working on two blogs for awhile now. The first is about black women and interracial dating, the second is about race and culture and what I feel is a growing disconnect within the lesbian community. They are equally touchy subjects and since I’m one the few that has stepped outside the comfort of my...

Lost In Thought

Today, I sit and contemplate, and wonder to myself because my mind takes me all over the place on days like this. I dig deep within and get frustrated at the direction the world is moving in. I look at culture and politics, status and class, social-networking and relationships and I’m left with anger and frustration...

Dream Girl

There is this image of you.. one of the very first, at least. I wanted to rip off that little nightie you had on with ease, but I didn’t. You were kind of leaning against the wall waiting for me to pass you by. I didn’t look at you as I walked, but I could feel you with my eyes. Yours were staring...

A Poem to Self

My healed black ego Hides well under the scars Placed carefully within Misshapen bouts of depression Can’t think clear enough Through the emotional discarding Of those well-sung lullabies I used to sing myself at night Flying through the open window Out of a heavily burdened mind Makes me thank God For how...

Baby Steps: Bits And Pieces Of My Weekend

Having your current girlfriend and ex together in the same room is not as awkward as most people think.I’m not sure why it’s so unpleasant for most people, but I think a lot of it has to do with the depth of the relationships, the personality and characteristics of the women and the luck factor of the person...

Tea Party Express Leader Mark Williams Booted For Racist ‘Satire’

Dear Mr. Lincoln We Coloreds have taken a vote and decided that we don’t cotton to that whole emancipation thing. Freedom means having to work for real, think for ourselves, and take consequences along with the rewards. That is just far too much to ask of us Colored People and we demand that it stop! In fact we...

On Mel Gibson’s The Passion Of The Rant

sixmeatbuffet.com So Mel Gibson’s an alcoholic, egomaniac, and a damn good actor with a mean streak. What’s new in Hollywood? Certainly not the violent verbal outbursts that have tapped into the consciousness of his most loyal of fans over the past few weeks. And honestly, it’s not like he’s...

Sometimes Women and Sport Don’t Mix

Early Memories of Female Masculinity

One summer I stood outside of a highway rest area with my siblings. A big 18-wheeler rolled into the lot and parked. The driver hopped down and after securing his truck he headed toward the entrance where we stood. There was nothing distinct about his walk. Nothing special. He wore a pair of blue jeans,...

I Want You

Let’s cut through the lyrical romance. I’ve wined and dined, you know what comes next. Do we satisfy the ultimate longing. Or do what they do in the songs and tap dance.
