Remember my neighbor, Tatiana? I blogged about her here. I thought she was mad before, but now I'm convinced that she is really, really mad. First of all, our apartment has a front and a back section. We live in the front section, overlooking the parking lot, while Tatiana lives in the back section, overlooking nature. Everyone parks in front, as does Tatiana. Her car barely ever leaves its spot. At first, I thought I just happened to notice the car only after it had been driven (and Read More
“You Look Like American…” What Does That Mean These Days?
I was at Walmart the other day staring too long at the travel mugs, trying to decide which one to get for Igwe. There was a Walmart employee next to me, arranging water bottles and mason jars . I had not paid too much attention to her until she started singing a familiar gospel tune. That was when I looked at her.

I Hope This Touches Something In You: Vouch Only For Yourself
Long before Funmie and I met our respective partners, I remember Funmie used to wish to have her relationship be like this couple or that couple, and I always used to say, I just want my relationship to be like mine.

I feel like a stranger on here right now because it's been since last week that I last put up a post. And I'm only typing a post right now because it has been so long that it's outright crazy. Although I slept on time last night, and although I woke up late yesterday morning, and although I fell asleep in the middle of the day yesterday (and later went to Read More
How Bud Light Lime Took My Beer Virginity
Igwe and I are fond of going to random eateries, just to try it out. Even in our neighborhood, we can no longer order pizza and wings from the same place because our perfect pizza shop does not have the perfect wings, and our perfect wings shop does not have the perfect pizza. Most times, we don't order both the wings and the pizza anyway, but in the rare events that we do, we have to drive to two places to pick our food up. So it was in one of our random bar hops that I discovered Bud Light Read More
