There are 4 settings to this poem…the wrestling ring, the awkward place, the comfortable place, and the space I can’t get enough of. the wrestling ring… We’re on opposite corners of the wrestling ring Waiting to see who will initiate the battle first I like you the way you are Why would I want to battle you? Then I remind myself It’s because I couldn’t grow with you if the scares, sad faces, happy faces, [...]
I want to talk about rejection right now because I just experienced it. Let’s do a recap… Tonight I was invited out to dinner by one of my close friends. I was excited to see her and get out of the house and connect with someone I really care about. We went to this popular restaurant/bar in Hoboken and we were seated at a quaint 2 person table next to a busy street…perfection!…We caught up [...]

I just finished a wonderful two day conference called ACTIVISM AND THE ACADEMY (http://bcrw.barnard.edu/event/activism-and-the-academy/) and because I love it so much I’ve kind of just been hanging around Barnard for a couple more hours. I love learning and granted academia has its issues but holy crap its full of amazing information. I suppose it is up to us to bring this information to the people. That’s the hard part, ha! I’m inspired…that is all love [...]
Today was the first time this year that it REALLY felt like Autumn, my FAVORITE season. The city was made for the Fall and the Fall was made for love. On my Friday commute both TO and FROM work, I found myself standing [uncomfortably] close to a couple slow-motion-deep-throating each other. I assumed that they weren’t saying any goodbyes. Both couples got off the train together at the same stop. I could understand if that [...]
A dedication to the people I knew and the people I will meet…
I painted this mural to remind everyone that God ( or how ever you want to define this higher being to be) love gay people. One of the last things Toni said was that he knew that God loves gay people. I’m glad that before he transitioned he knew that…
So I was planning to write a continuation of studying Chapter 1 of The Rules but, in the last two weeks, I ended up landing a date with a dude. A real legit date…not the “oh we’re just hanging out as friends but secretly I’m hoping that we end up making out at some point kind of date”. I’m going on a date THIS THURSDAY with someone I wasn’t previously friends with, someone who I [...]
When he says that you’re the type of lady he would date and that you two get along so well…then what?! Uggg these mixed signals! If he hasn’t made a move then maybe I should, no? It’s nerve wrecking because what if those words are meant as just experiences and not that he actually would like to date ME. I like to feel a little intimated, I love a partner that is not clingy but [...]
This is an interview I did with Valentino, my friend Rita’s dog..I’ve spent the past week watching him while Rita checks out the west coast. We’ve had a blast together. We laughed, we cried, we really bonded. We started to feel comfortable around each other and I finally asked him what he loves the most and rather then tell me, he showed me.
It’s a very simple question but it asks for so much. You want their hand on your stomach so they can feel you breathing. You want the hand of that person to slowly slide lower and caress your pubic hairs. You want to come over and feel wanted. Coming over is about enjoying the experience and being held accountable to the time and space you share. I’ve recently felt that I want to come over [...]
Nyron and Why love is worth it… NYRON LOVE INTERVIEW from 2browngirlstalkaboutlove on Vimeo.
Okay so I stuck to my promise to study The Rules. This weekend, I read through the introduction/prologue of the book a few times. I decided if I was going to dedicate myself to religiously following The Rules that I would have to bust out a list. I combed through the chapter ( about 3 pages ) and wrote down every directive thing that the authors told me to do. Mind you it’s only [...]
I did this piece for 365daysofprint.com. Warren Buffet is amazing—I have a thing for old rich white guys who do not mind being taxed.

So on my way into the city, I usually pick up a copy of the Metro NY free newspaper. I love it because you get the gist of stories. No one article takes more than ten minutes to read so I can usually blast through the whole paper right before I reach 86th street. This makes me feel super productive…kind of like when I read the Goosebumps book series as a kid…blow through a whole [...]
because I lost the book for two weeks and then I found it…but I haven’t read it because the only time I tend to read is on the subway and I’m embarrassed to read The Rules in public so I keep The Rules in my bag thinking maybe one day I’ll grow some nerve and read it…but I don’t…I did, however, take it out at work this week and Lina, my boss, kept it on her [...]
Sometimes I think it’s awesome…sometimes I know I’ll be a manizer for the rest of my life. With that said here is an amazing video/song by my homeboy ERiMAJ…
