November 24, 2010
Today is Zoey’s 8th day on earth and I couldn’t be happier to come home to the little precious bundle every night. I work during the day so I spend as much time with her in the evenings and mornings as I can. I’ve changed more pampers than I care to count, and [...]
A Family Affair
“Your girlfriend is a good one, I couldn’t do it,” said my friend as we discussed my daughter’s pending arrival and what it would mean for my girlfriend and I. “What kind of toll will this take on your relationship” she pressed on, but I had to interject right then and there. ”You couldn’t do what?” I asked [...]
Video: The Birth of Zoey
The drive to the hospital was quiet and surreal and over in a relatively short time. The music coming from the radio was upbeat, in stark contrast to the darkness that surrounded us at that early morning hour. I felt as if I was floating with no place to land, but I didn’t want to land just yet. Everything [...]
The Night Before
The night before my daughter was born, like most nights leading up to it, I had gotten about two solid hours of sleep. Prior to that, I couldn’t remember the last time I went to bed and woke up feeling like a well rested human being, and that night was no different. I barely slept, but my stomach [...]
First Things First
Regarding the title of this blog. Well, it’s stupid really. You know on those celebrity gossip blogs where the first person to leave a comment on a new story usually resorts to posting this one line of idiocy, “first!” as if there is some prize to be won or extra in depth knowledge to be [...]
Unforgettable
Under normal circumstances, I would have refused her offer, but these were unusual circumstances and I was in no mood to refuse anything. Not from her. She did not know it yet, but I was never one for carrying on casual relationships. Not in any sense of the word. That is completely outside of my [...]
Preparing To Be A Lesbian Dad
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. [...]
I got tagged by FoxyBrown
I got tagged [by FoxyBrown] so without further ado, here goes something.
1. What inspired you to start a blog and share your style with the world?
I started my blog because I have always loved to write, and I found myself writing way too much in my head. Journals have always provided an instant outlet, but blogging has provided a release that [...]
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 cultural [...]
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 that I [...]
