Kudos To Jay Z For Not Hitting Solange Back

Kudos To Jay Z For Not Hitting Solange Back

Curious minds want to know why Solange beat the heck out of Jay Z. My curious mind is wondering how he managed to stay calm and not hit her back. Considering how private Beyonce and Jay Z are, I bet they're not thrilled with this recent public development. First thing I heard about when I went to work on yesterday (thanks Janiea!) was that Solange beat Jay Z up, and there's a video - on TMZ, of course - to prove it. As a good employee, I ignored all the work I had to do and went instead in Read More

I Just Want To Take Care Of My Mommy

I Just Want To Take Care Of My Mommy

While Igwe and I were watching the NFL Draft on Thursday and Friday, most of the players that spoke said something about their mom. It was always the mom. Mom did this. Mom did that. Even when Kevin Durant - I love him - gave his speech for being selected as the MVP, he said his mom was the real MVP. He cried. His mom cried. His fellow teammates cried.

Why Is Monica Lewinsky Sounding Like The Victim?

Why Is Monica Lewinsky Sounding Like The Victim?

This is a serious question. Every time Igwe and I start talking about infidelity in relationships, he reminds me that he already knows how I feel. Yes, I have very strong views about infidelity and relationships in general. Very, very strong views. So 16 years ago, Monica Lewinsky did whatever she did with Bill Clinton. Unfortunately for her, Bill Clinton is a man who is much loved by so many people, so in spite of his indiscretion, he seems to have been forgiven by the general public.  So Read More

So You Think Your Past Doesn’t Matter?

So You Think Your Past Doesn’t Matter?

Next to “men will be men,” the next best hilarious lie I have heard about relationships is that “the past does not matter.” In the words of Joe Biden, that’s a bunch of malarkey. On another day, I will tell you more about the men-will-be-men lie. For now, let us talk about the past that does not matter. More times than I can count, I have heard people say – when talking about relationships – that the past does not matter. What a person did in his/her past should not matter in his/her present Read More
