On to the Ex One?

So, sista's got this complex situation:

My ex (let's call her Coco) and I can't seem to stay away from each other. (I'm warning you here; After the back story, things get very explicit.)

Now, we haven't actually been girlfriend-and-girlfriend since December, but, for a while there, we were trying to work things out. Sadly, we couldn't figure out how to fix things. We both love each other a lot, still, but when two people want two very different things in their immediate futures, it's usually time to let it go, at least for a while.

All the Cool Kids Are Doing It

It's that time of year where you're either cruising with the windows down (or the AC blasting) or hiding from the sun and insects. Here's some things to help you pass the time either way:

loveis4suckaz.com - download the new, free mixtape from Krucial Brothers' new protege', Alexandra "Andra" Govere. Funky, quirky, surprisingly soulful pop music for your car stereo. My fave track: "Robotic".

durandbernarr.bandcamp.com - Chill out and wind down under the ceiling fan to the smooth, neo-soulful sounds of my man from ATL. Two free mixtapes - one, a tribute to Erykah Badu; the other, filled with dope covers and original material. My fave track: Borderline Worship

youtube.com/goinggoldenagain - Have a Golden Girls marathon on the couch

youtube.com/adwstan - Or have a Living Single marathon in bed

youtube.com/hartbeat - Get familiar with one of YouTube's newest partners, Hart, a young stud from Cali who's a talented musician and all-around hilarious person.

And don't forget to be on the lookout for Diggy Simmons' sophomore mixtape, Airborne, on July 29th. This kid is gonna be very successful very soon. He's got a deal with Atlantic, a shoe line called Chivalrous Culture (which I can't wait to get my hands on this fall), personal style to spare, and a blog dedicated to it all: digslifeofthejetsetter.blogspot.com/

GO!

Chicks, Man.

Ah ha. The post you've been waiting for...The one about girls. I'm not quite sure what to say about some of them, yet, as there are a few works in progress, but I can at least give y'all the rundown of who will be showing up as blog subjects from time to time, names obviously changed to protect the innocent and the guilty:

Apples: My work wife. Cute, straight, funny, smart, sorority girl, recently engaged. A Class A nut in the best way possible.

Bosslady: It's a love/hate relationship.

Mama: Soon to be former landlady. The love of my life. The bane of my existence.

Slim: One of my best friends. Lives a few hours away in the town we went to college in. Cool ass white girl, lesbian, semi-playa. My platonic boo.

Stem: My 2nd ex-work wife. Super sexy. Super thick. Super single. Semi-touchy-feely-flirty (with me, anyway). Lesbian? Is playing hard to get (and I don't like it). Ongoing crush and lust at first sight. The potential girl of my dreams.

Sunshine: A former college roommate. Sorority girl. My ex-boo. Super smart. Super cute. Super bubbly. Straight? Very touchy-feely-flirty. A genuine sweetheart, or so I thought. The first person to break my heart. Everybody loves or is in love with this girl.

Super Fahn G. (SFG): Apple's best friend. A teacher. Engaged and head over heels, or so it seems. Touchy-feely-flirty (Clearly, I have a type). Straight? A former crush. A current object of admiration. We had a connection the first time we met.

Dubs: Ex-work wife from my ex-job. College student. Touchy-feely-flirty. Straight. A full out playa on the surface. A hermit on the inside. Former lust at first sight. Current wing man.

'Sup?

I would love to tell you that following this blog would be your gateway to frequent, regular, entertaining and insightful posts from someone you'll always understand and agree with, but you know and I know......So let's get to it, shall we?

I gave Twitter a shot over a year ago and stuck with it, so now I'm stepping my game up, so to speak. Bear with me if my first few post are under 180 characters, though.

I will talk about anything and everything honestly and bluntly. I've found that it's hard to speak when you're holding your tongue. I'm also going through some pretty major transitions in my life right now (new ride, new place, and, hopefully, new love), and hoping typing it all out will help me keep my goggles on straight as I dive into the deep end.
