Men In Skirts: Would you rock it?
As if skinny jeans weren't enough. We saw Kid Cudi do it. We saw Snoop do it. Is this becoming a trend?
As designed by none other than Marc Jacobs...no surprise there:

I say: STOP BEFORE IT GOES TOO FAR!!
Fellas, would you rock this shit?
If people thought I was mean or rude enough already, wait until I start seeing dudes rocking these damn skirts on the streets.
Mariah's new Target commercial...
Well, it's not really commercial. It's actually her new video for "Up Out My Face (Remix)" featuring Nicki Minaj. It was also filmed by her stage-hubby/slave/sober Bobby Brown equivalent Nick Cannon's lame ass.
Honestly, it really, really, REALLY does look like a Target commercial. If I was watching this on 106 & Park, I'd think the show actually went to commercial break before realizing it's the video. Nick needs to be #BANNED from directing, and Mariah's almost 40-year-old *if she hasn't turned yet* needs to grow the hell up. I need that Vision of Love-Daydream-Music Box Mariah. Cut the Mimi shit out. As for Nicki...*crickets*.
The ladies do like nice, though. Just nice.

Tribute to Michael Jackson...in lock-up?
Remember this: the viral video of prison inmates doing a full dance routine to Michael Jackson's "Thriller"? Well, the dancing inmates of Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center in the Philippines are at it again. This time, the prison dancers got treated with a visit from the choreographer of the late Michael Jackson's This Is It tour, Travis Payne. Payne taught them a routine from the tour, featured in the film This Is It, for what was supposed to be the performance of the hit song, "They Don't Care About Us". Check it out:

This is nice...
My favorite cracked-out diva Whitney and her people leaked out a photo from her "Nuthin' But Love" world tour photobook. She's looking nice, happy and in a great place. Unfortunately. The tour kicks off in Korea, moving through Asia, Europe and Australia. No dates for the U.S. has been released at this time.
Seems she's aiming for a younger, edgier look. I likes.

Would you rock it: Louboutin Spiked Out
Weird couple (but works) Kamber {Kanye & Amber} stepped out at Paris Fashion week with Kanye sporting some new Christian Louboutin Rollerball loafers and Amber wearing...something?
I'm not going to get into the outfit that Miss Rose is not wearing. Hell, I'm not surprised anyway. As for Yeezy, going sockless is fine and all but he could've used a little lotion. Of course, the kicks have the traditional Louboutin red bottoms. I'd say here, 'Ye is working the shoes well.
Would you rock them?
Fifty-seven million...
A telethon record: the Hope For Haiti Now benefit, which aired this past Friday night, raised $57 million...and counting.

Some of my favorite and best of the night:
Christina Aguilera

Separated...but not married?
Somebody help me out because I may have slept during this lecture or skipped class to party on the beach but...
Even if they are breaking up separating, Jennifer Aniston is somewhere drinking some good wine and having a good laugh...
...HOW THE HELL CAN YOU FILE LEGAL SEPARATION WHEN YOU'RE NOT MARRIED?!?!
According to the NY Post:
Hollywood golden couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have signed papers paving the way for a legal separation with joint custody of their six children, The Sunday Times in London reported Sunday.I don't deal too much in celebrity personal lives but I must have been in a coma when this strangely weird but sexy couple signed a marriage license. And now they're signing "dem PAYPAHS"?
The couple, known as Brangelina, have been together since shooting the thriller Mr and Mrs Smith five years ago. They are said to have agreed that the children will live with Jolie.
The couple are not married – having said they would marry only when American homosexuals were also able to wed.
Even so, documents were filed with a Los Angeles lawyer earlier this month to help with a smooth separation, unnamed sources told the News of the World newspaper.

What I Feel/Issues
This has got to be one of the best, if not THE best songs R. Kelly has ever written. Sometimes I feel like Kellz had been invading my brain every time I hear this song.
I'm sick and tired of the games you played
Every move I make your ass got something to say
Scandalize my name when you see it in the paper
Trying to turn it all around when it wasn't that way
Everybody is trying to figure me out
What the hell is wrong with y'all just let me live my life
I can't go one day without y'all in my face
Y'all done lost y'all minds if you don't hear what I say
Cops chase me when I'm standing still
You know I ain't done shit wrong so why you want me in your cell
You don't like my songs well it pays the bills
And you cut me down cuz I keep it real
Sometimes I wanna fly far away from here
To another place it ain't worth these tears
Sometimes at night when I close my eyes
I know the haters are busy making up hater lies
Sometimes I laugh trying to keep from crying
If I was plain out of love then tell me who could I trust
See I work so hard just to get ahead
If it wasn't for God I'd probably be dead
Sometimes I think y'all trying to pull me down
But y'all wasting your time I got you haters figured out
If yo had your way it'd be lock and key
Everywhere I go trouble follows me
Where the hell is my father shit it hurts sometimes
There's a hole in me and it rocks my mind
Forgive me father for I have sinned
When was your last confession
His true fears he left without a care
And that was more than I could bare
When you need my help I never tell you no
When I need your love you got somewhere to go
I'm getting sick of this shit but I'm not gonna quit
I've come too far gotta keep my pockets thick
I get mad as hell but that's ok
Kick off these shoes cuz I'm here to stay
I gotta let you know got no time to play
So feel me and all that you hear me say
What I'm building up you can't tear it down
Cuz it's built on solid Rockland ground
We don't die, we multiply, hit after hit, living platinum style
Keep my head up high, looking toward the sky
Nothing inmy view, hey I can fly
Y'all just hate, I can't take no more
And if you feel me raise your hand and show
This is what I feel, ooh, this is what I feel
Feel me, feel me, feel me, hey, hey feel, woo
Westside tell me can you feel me, hey, oh
Eastside tell me can you feel me, whoa, oh south
Southside tell me can you feel me
Feel me, feel me
Every move I make your ass got something to say
Scandalize my name when you see it in the paper
Trying to turn it all around when it wasn't that way

This man right here...
This is MY president.
As matter of fact, he's OUR president. Hell, 53% of the country, which I'm sure a figure that included some of you as well as me, voted for him.Why?
Because in the midst of the state of our country's economy, no thanks to dumb ass Dubya, we saw this barely known black man from Chicago, Illinois as a pillar of hope and inspiration.
His name? Barack Hussein Obama.
He motivated us by letting us know that "Yes, we can!" Then on November 4, 2008, we DID. He spoke words of hope that restored our faith. He inspired us and we made him our leader. A leader who we BELIEVED in and that would take us in the right direction. On January 20, 2009, on year ago, the world stopped and watched as we, AMERICA, welcomed our new president. The first black President in our history. Afterward, it was on to a smooth sailing transition of economic recovery and a better life for the American people. Right?
WRONG!!
Immediately as President Obama began his new job, with a starting approval rating of nearly 70%, he faced opposition from the other side. Who's the other side, you ask? His own party's enemies...the Republicans. Or Stinky Ass Elephants, if you call them that. They began to reject every idea, every policy, every plan that Mr. Obama and the Dems concocted to repair the country's woes. The stimulus package, health care reform, his Nobel Peace prize and, most recently, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. (If you really follow politics like I do, you'd know that Prez O initially did not want to send more troops to Afghanistan. He was pressured and pushed to make what was his final decision by members from both sides of Congress. As soon as he gives them what THEY wanted, THEY immediately flipped the script to say it was a bad decision and put the President in a bad light.)
They began to associate themselves with the American public, mostly the Elephant supporters, by aligning themselves with the New Tea Party Movement (NTPM), an organization started by those that call themselves...wait for it..."TEA-BAGGERS". You know, that is a VERY INTERESTING name for this group. Hmph, if only they knew. They began to feed on the minds of uncertain independents, swaying them in the opinion about the President and his agenda. Obama's overall first year approval rating now stands at 48% (source).
Inheriting eight years worth of mess from the previous DUD that choked on a pretzel, Prez Obama became one of, if not the most, scrutinized presidents in American history. He hadn't completed one year of his first term in office and declarations were being made that he will not be re-elected. The man has THREE MORE YEARS!!
I stand behind my President.
In my opinion, he's done a pretty damn good job so far. It was only his first year and he's done quite a bit more than I expected, even repaired the image of America to other countries. While I didn't agree with the extra troops issue, I refuse to let the opposition tear this good black man down because Prez O is doing everything he can to make things right again. So I will still stand behind him for the next three years.
The question is: Will you join me?
Why I love Anderson Cooper
He's not just an ordinary journalist.
He saved a bloody young boy being beaten with concrete slabs by looters in Haiti.
This is a hero.

Whitney, Whitney, Whitney...
Y'all, I'm kinda sad that Whitney Houston is off that stuff. I mean, congrats to her on the success and all, for selling 2 million worldwide and going platinum (912K) in the U.S. with no hit from her new album, I Look To You. I wish her the best and well but you have to admit, the Crack Whitney is more fun. From Being Bobby Brown to her crazy trip to Israel to that Diane Sawyer interview. Good times.
Well, I guess now we can just make fun of her talk-singing because Bobby ain't gonna be joining her onstage no time in the future. BUT...her being awarded at the BET Honors this weekend brought out TWO photos for me to make fun of. You know, "Caption this".
1st pic: Following Crackney's revealing Oprah interview, Diddy's annoying, self-loving arrogant ass, who was also honored along with King Latifah, had some smart remarks about her throwing Bobby, of all people, under the bus. So, what if Crackney found out?
2nd pic: Crackney at the airport following the BET Honors.

First, let me just say congrats to actress/talk-show host and screaming banshee queen Mo'Nique on her win at last night's Golden Globes. The much-deserved win was for her supporting actress role of Mary in the critically acclaimed film, "Precious".
Second...Mo'Nique. Now, hunny, you are headed to the Oscars, dah'lin. Please, please, PLEASE...SHAVE THOSE DAMN LEGS!!!!!!

Is he or isn't he? II
What the hell is wrong with people?!
Y'all seen this video circulating the web, twitter and blogsites of this girl claiming she has AIDS and is intentionally spreading it to every guy she sleeps with. Lesions and all. The video caused a major health scare, especially in the Detroit area. Jackie, the woman in the video, was later arrested and tested for the AIDS virus. Turns out she faked her claims of being infected with the life-killing disease and the video is all a damn HOAX. Check out the interview (click here) where she's sorry about causing panic and explains how the hoax was to raise awareness of the HIV/AIDS virus.
I understand raising awareness...but this ain't the way to do it.

This old man...
A blessing in disguise?
A pact with the devil?
Where do people come up with this shit?
It seems as though lately a lot of people are no longer making any sense. Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh and now Pat Robertson. Does Arkham Asylum still exist?
Pat needs to be in a damn nursing home preparing to cross over soon. Was that mean? Oh well. #KanyeShrug
Insane Rush...
There's only one person in this world that would politicize a major natural disaster that destroyed one of the poorest nations on Earth.
Limbaugh says: Obama will use Haiti to boost credibility with "light-skinned and dark-skinned black community in this country"
Pot, meet Kettle.
And you wonder why people had their fingers crossed and hoping for bad news when Limbaugh was "Rush"-ed to the hospital for his little "heart scare", which by the way, I believe was a publicity stunt so he can lie to American about what a "wonderful" health care system we have. I don't wish ill will on anyone, but Rush: Go choke on a pill already.
Limbaugh says: Obama will use Haiti to boost credibility with "light-skinned and dark-skinned black community in this country"
Then after making the Haitian disaster story about Obama, Limbaugh wants to claim that the media is making the story about themselves.
Pot, meet Kettle.

U lookin' like a fool witcha pants on da ground...
Last night was the first time I decided to watch American Idol since the season Jordin Sparks won. You know, the little light skin girl with long black hair, had that song with my baby-daddy Chris Brown called "No Air"? Yeah, her. Anyway, it was the auditions in ATL and R&B diva Mary J. Blige was the guest judge. Aunt Mary was pure comedy when it came to the "horrendous" *Simon Cowell voice* prospective Idol contestants, at one point bursting into laughter before a dude could open his mouth to sing and her co-judges playing it off as if she was crying instead. Poor boy believed them, lol. Anyway, in true Idol audition fashion, the best is always saved for last. Grab some tissue...and your sides:

Can't Have U
It's been almost 10 years, and recently, I was inspired to start writing poetry again. This is the first one after so long. It's called "Can't Have You". Check it out:
I’ve got this strange feeling
It’s come all over me
I can’t explain it
It travels all through my body
Butterflies in my stomach
Tingling in my spine
Everything begins to fade to black
Every time you come across my mind
Never thought this could be happening
My every thought is always you
My palms are clammy now
I don’t know what to do
It’s impossible
I cannot be falling for you
I’m in the Garden of Eden
And you’re the forbidden fruit
I’m fighting all the temptations
You’re off limits to me
I long and ache for your touch
You’re out of my reach
This long distance is killing me
Feels like we’re worlds apart
As I write these words
I hear the beat my fluttering heart
How do I describe it?
It’s complicated
I know that I can’t have you
My feelings I never anticipated
These emotions, it's crazy
What do I do?
Feels like I’m on a roller coaster
It’s got me all dazed and confused
I’ve come to realize I will never have you
No matter how hard I try to beg the angels above
As I learn to accept it, I begin to wonder
These feelings, could I be in love?
Dedicated to JoJo ;-). Thanks for the inspiration.

Funerals & Football
I hate BLACK FUNERALS.
Yeah, that might make me seem racist towards my own people but it's the truth. Unless it's a Catholic funeral, I can't stand black funerals.
Black folks get LOUD. They get G.H.E.T.T.O. The congregation puts on a DANCE contest. You know, during the HOLY GHOST time!
The women try to compete to see who can put on an Oscar-worthy breakdown or who can CRY the LOUDEST.
The choir's lead singer doesn't SING. He SCREAMS!!! And you're stuck SITTING RIGHT NEXT to those damn speakers! The preacher puts on a L-O-N-G-E-R sermon than necessary. So long that your ass starts hurting just sitting there to a point where you just get up and walk out. Not to mention, it was HOTTER THAN HELL in the church as ALWAYS!
And of course, since my uncle (R.I.P) LOVED the Pittsburg Steelers, Mr. Preacher Man had to talk about football. So naturally, I thought about the wildcard games that were on later that night.
Yuuup, them damn COWBOYS handed the Philadelphia Eagles their asses on a silver platter. Them Eagles fans talked a WHOLE LOTTA SHIT before the game but they were dead quiet by halftime. And they said Tony Romo was underrated...but they were praying for Jessica Simpson to show up, lol. McNabb who?
The Jets and Ravens won as I expected them to. I didn't care too much for Green Bay and Arizona but I kinda hoped the Packers would have advanced since Houston's own Johnny Jolly, a high school classmate *North Forest's Forest Brook High School*, is a part of the team.

I'll give it to 'em...
Alabama won. Congratulations.
They were smart enough to know that taking out Colt McCoy was the only way they would win.
As for the bandwagoners...*insert shade here*
I still bleed Burnt Orange.
By the way, I hope Mark Ingram gets snatched up by a damn good NFL team.

You're EVERYTHING to me....
♫ The air that I breathe... ♫
FINALLY!! The new joint from my girl Monica has finally leaked and let me be the first to say that this bish is SANGIN'!!!! The song, "Everything" (formerly "Everything to Me"), was sent to every format at radio today, thus making it the first official single for the album, Still Standing. It's time to show all these half-talentless little girls how to do it right. Time to bring back the REAL music. Get into it!!
*Sighs* Mo is showin' her ass out in this song it makes me wanna be so in love right now...
Yes, that's the full song.
Racial Profiling happened to me...
The title says it all.
Yesterday afternoon, I left a job interview for a company located in Kingwood, TX. For those that don't know, Kingwood is a smaller community, dubbed as a "city", located on the northeastern border of Houston. I myself don't know the area that well as I hardly ever visit there. Really, there's nothing there.
The better question is: Why were these HPD officers pulling drivers over in the jurisdiction of the city of Kingwood, which has their own officers? Being a part of a family of police officers and sheriff deputies, I know all about the law and how each department/jurisdiction operates, and their rules. These officers broke the rules. I memorized the white officer's badge number while he researched my information. All it took was a phone call to my people...

For those that don't know, Kingwood is a smaller community, dubbed as a "city", located on the northeastern border of Houston. I myself don't know the area that well as I hardly ever visit there. Really, there's nothing there.
Anyway, as a made my way back towards Highway 59 looking for a way to the west side of the highway, or the southbound side, I was pulled over by TWO Houston police officers. One Caucasian and one Hispanic. Mind you, I don't know the area so of course I was driving 30-35 mph and I didn't doing anything suspicious, other than being a little lost.
The Caucasian officer approached the car and asked for my license, which I provided, then asked if I've ever been arrested, to which I respond of course, "No." Meanwhile, Hispanic officer is on the other side of the car, peering through the window. The Caucasian then asked that I step out of the car, which I did, and he immediately began to search me, asking if I had any weapons on me or anything in the car that shouldn't be there. "No" to both questions. The Hispanic officer asked, which sounded more like a demand, to search the car, which I allowed. The white officer kept asking if I was positive I've never been arrested before, and I'm like I'd know if I've been to jail or not. Seriously, come on. So, while he runs up my information trying to seek whatever it is he feels he could find, the Hispanic officer comes back questioning why a wooden bar is in the car. Y'all know black folks: we always need something to hold the hood open. Then asked about me being a college student and what I was majoring. He was more friendly than the white guy. They questioned where I live too, and they actually knew the area. Not a bad neighborhood but it's no suburbia either. When I asked why I was out in the area, I explained I came from the interview, giving them a description of what the job and company is about at their request. Not finding what he was hoping for, the white officer handed back my license and stated they were letting me go with no tickets. What they were going to ticket me for anyway? Beats me.
The Hispanic guy went on to say that I was a good guy *duh!* told me to finish school and congratulated me on getting hired, even going as far as giving me a high-five. If y'all could have seen the look on my face.
The whole time I was thinking:
But I kept my cool. Most people would get angry or highly upset in a situation like this that they lose control of their emotions and their mouth. Not me. I cooperated, remained calm and answered every single question with confidence and without hesitation. I know you're probably saying, "Why didn't you get upset? You should be PISSED!" The thing is, I did NOTHING wrong. If I reacted differently, it would show that I'm guilty of something. But they picked the wrong guy...

I cut my hair!!!!!
Okay, so I had been growing out my hair since June 2009. The last time I got a haircut to be exact was June 20th before my trip to Jamaica, the Caymans and Mexico. So it's been about 7 months. I'm mixed (which I don't always like telling people unless they ask) and my hair is soft and tightly curly, so it's kinda kinky. Well, there were 2 problems: my temporal hairline/edge up was trimmed too far back and my hair was completely uneven. I'm talking some sections were over 4 inches long, some 3 and a half, and some just a little over 3 inches. Yes, that bothers me. I really needed my hairline to grow back so I never had it trimmed in the last week. On top of that, I had a job interview yesterday that I needed to groom for. (BTW-I got the job but didn't accept it because it wasn't what I needed nor expected) Well, I wasn't going to trim the edges but I couldn't go looking a MESS! So, I did what I had to do: I cut it. I wanted to cry while I was cutting it. So, girly, right? Lol. Nah but for real, I feel weird, like naked, lol. I took a few pics as I was cutting and a final pic before I left for my interview. Check them out:
Ungroomed before shower and combed out after shower (already curling).
Did a mohawk midway through then the final result.
Not too bad, aside from a minor mishap on the left middle area. *I forgot the guard, lol* But hey, I still got the offer. I'm not going to cut it for another week, which by then the mishap will have grown and so will the edge line, then I'll cut it so it will be completely even. I'm thinking of starting what I like to call a "loc journey". I'm just "thinking".
By the way, I just knew somebody was going to ask me if I was part Mexican/Hispanic. I hate when people do that.

Rock-a-bye-baby...
Y'all should know that I love R&B singer Monica. I mean, I absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE her, like, she's the only artist that I would STAN for if I had a choice. Monica is the realest chick in the game with an amazing angelic voice. She is and will always be number one.
The other night Monica took to Twitter, providing two short videos of her using her beautiful voice, singing to her youngest son, Romelo, to sleep. Instead of falling asleep though, Romelo decided he would try to mimic his superstar mommy, lol. Check out the cute videos below:
So CUTE!!!
Be sure to check out Monica's reality show Monica: Still Standing on EBT...oops, I mean BET. Aside from the gospel shows, this is one of the most positive shows on the network. It follows Monica balancing family and music, the making of her new album and finding common grounds with her label over the first single choice. Recently, as announced via Twitter, Monica and J Records decided to do a duel release, choosing the songs "Love All Over Me" and "One In A Lifetime" as the first singles. The latter, which leaked in the first half of 2009, leaked again, this time as reworked and re-recorded. Listen to "One In A Lifetime" below:
I'm anxiously waiting for "Everything To Me" to leak. That song is a HIT!

Weekend Experience Update...
Earlier today, C.S. shocked me by telling me that he reads my blog, lol.
I told him a while back that I have this site but I never gave him the link. He actually found it through another blog that I follow, lol.
Oh, well. #KanyeShrug At least he wasn't bothered by that previous entry, lol. Hey, C.S.!
I hope his BF doesn't read it....

Twenty Ten...
Well, it's the first Monday of the New Year.
That means it's the official start of life in 2010.
All the weekend partying and careless celebrations are over. It's time to get back in the grind.
Resolutions? Fuhgeddahboudit. That word doesn't exist in my vocabulary. They're pointless. All the ridiculous PLANS that people claim they're going to do - lose weight, stop smoking and drinking, be a better person, stop whoring - and they never make good on it. That's why I tend to call New Year's the period of empty "maybe" promises.
Me? I set realistic goals, ones that I know and I'm determined that I can make happen. There's no changing my eating habits, work out more, or getting closer to God because I know damn well I'm not going to do any of that. Besides, I'm close enough to the Dude up there, just not as much as the hardcore super-religious fanatics think I should be.
Anyway, I'm just going to continue my academics, as I'm working on my Associates Degree in Biology this semester. After a nearly year of being an unemployed student, it's definitely time for me to get back to work. So, there's that. And I definitely am going to get my own place. I can only stand having roommates for so long. I need my privacy, shit. One thing I do plan to make good on is a skiing trip.
So what are you GOING to do? Don't mistake that with what you're PLANNING to do. In 2010, set some REALISTIC goals to accomplish. Trust me, it will be a journey.
Don't forget to have fun and live a little. Experience some things you've never done before. I started last weekend...*wink*

Phoning and bonin'...
I'm not very big on the idea of phone sex. I always felt that there isn't anything that I would get out of doing it. Well, leave it to me to be the one to initiate that very interesting and messy event that I got to experience for the first time ever.
So, Saturday night, I stayed in of course because I had nothing to do and I'm not very big on clubs anymore. Yeah, I'm only 25 and that's silly, right? Not really because the club scene here in Houston sucks...or at least the ones I've been to. Anyway, late in the night I decided to chat with a friend of mine on IM. I'll just call him C.S. for now. He lives in Baton Rouge, La. and we've been talking for about a year and a half. Not THAT kind of "talking" though; just as friends. The way we "met" may be strange: we're part of a Yahoo! group that has some great gay stories...no, online NOVELS that, honestly, need to be published. *I'll tell you about that group later*
Anyway, we started chatting through IM and had gotten to know each other pretty well. That night, I happened to be very horny and so was C.S. We've joked about one another being in need of a good #tunasub but this time things took a turn that both C.S. and I never thought would happen. Here's preview of how the chat went down:
C.S.: You're a hot ass!
Me: And horny too. Hell it's been too long lol
C.S.: Who you telling? Man, its hot in here!
Me: That's cuz you're horny lol
C.S.: You are not helping!
Me: And neither are you, lol
C.S.: Lol you got me on brick right now
Me: Good
C.S.: I'm fighting a losing battle I got something keeping my hand busy though
Me: lol I'm doing something to keep my hand busy too
C.S.: I said I got something I didn't say WHAT lol but I'm fighting a losing battle...BIG TIME
Me: lol well I said I'm doing something
C.S.: NOT HELPING!!!
Me: I know lol whats helping you?
C.S.: My remote
Me: Lol what if I told you my hand was busy with my dick?
C.S.: Oh god!
Me: Lol come on what would you say?
C.S.: I lost
Me: Lol good
C.S.: So you in bed? at desk?
Me: Bed. you?
C.S.: I'm in my bed. Wow, are we really doing this?
Me: Yeah we are. Wait i just realized we're cyber-sexing lol
C.S.: Lol is that what its called?
Me: Yeah
C.S.: So you still want my number?
Me: Hell yeah! Lets do this!
So, since you're reading this then of course you know he gave me his phone number and I called him, and it was on! Being the Scorpio that I am and as imaginative as my mind can be, I did not know that I could talk as sexually on the phone. I was surprising myself the whole time. And this definitely wasn't a "just a couple of minutes" thing. We both lasted damn near an hour. It turns out he was a lot more experienced at the phone sex thing. I'm not going to go into the sweaty details; I'll leave it all up to your imagination. *Mischievous grin* Let's just say when we finished, I made myself a complete "mess", if you catch my drift, lol. We thought it would have made our long-distance friendship a little awkward but C.S. and I ended up easing right into a good conversation for another hour and a half before I finally hit the shower. My arms were sooo sore and worn out, lol. The experience wasn't so bad.
We ended up talking for a while yesterday. Will me and C.S. be phone sexing again? Who knows? I mean, he does have a boyfriend that he's been with for 7 months. Is it cheating? #KanyeShrug Maybe I should feel bad about persuading C.S. to phone bone with me but I honestly don't. We do not regret that night at all.
Okay, so maybe I should start dating...
