Humph. These Men.

2 comments

There are two types of women in the world: Those who take BS and those who don’t. It is the job of men to decipher – usually based on looks – what type of woman you are. This is a poor system/process of discovery, at least by my estimation, because according to many men that […]

It’s Open Toquing Season!

6 comments

April Toque: A cruel game played only by the Gyekye siblings. Simply put, it’s April Fool’s day on steroids. HAHAHAHAHHAHAAAAA!!!! April Toque! I got you!! Man.  I’ve had calls (some from Ghana AND England), texts, inbox messages on Facebook all asking WHY I’m shutting down M.O.M. (For the record, I’m not.) *Gasping and Snickering!* Oh […]

Stupid Office Acronyms

4 comments

Stop whatever it is you’re doing…right now! If you work in an office, strain your ears and listen closely. Someone is using, or about to use, an office acronym right now.

Last Saturday was SUCH a Drag

2 comments

Actually, it was anything but; I just like the play on words, hence the title. Caroline celebrated her birthday this Saturday, and I was invited to her shindig by her friend Napoleon (yes, that’s his real name – and yes, he’s Black). I thought it was going to be a nice, somewhat quiet evening spent […]

Defying the Odds: A Tribute to Giovanni

4 comments

Douche Bag is an amazing human being – and I don’t mean that in a complimentary way. How someone has managed to bungle their way this far through life with such stunted mental capacity and have achieved any modicum of success gives credence to the story of Forrest Gump. However, unlike Forrest who at his […]

Prince: Sojourn to the Sublime

0 comments

Getting there: You leave Atlanta on I-20, merge onto I-95N, pass some cotton fields, take a deep breath and inhale a few lung fulls of horse manure and cow dung, blink and then you’re in Fayetteville. It’s a small military town with lush hills and where I rendezvousing with The Fabulous Bessie Afeku, my fellow […]
