As we've moved into the 21st century, lots of things have changed. The price of gas has gone up incredulously, tattoos are beautiful signs of self expression, and more and more single people have kids. So in the dating world, what does that mean for us?If you meet someone dynamic -- someone too good to be true -- and he drops a "bomb" on you by saying, "oh, by the way, i have a son", or something

So, I had a great discussion with a couple of work friends at lunch today -- which begged the question -- is there really a "perfect" guy out there? Now, of course, none of us intelligent women believe there is such a thing, because that'd mean there's a such thin as a perfect PERSON. HowEVA, I do think a lot of us aspire to as close as perfection as we can get in a guy and when we find it, we

Not sure if you all remember this, but a few weeks ago, McCain was scheduled to appear on the David Letterman show. An hour before the show, he calls Letterman, cancels, and says he has to go "straight back to the White House." Letterman then has to scramble to get another guest on (Keith Olbermann, MSNBC anchor who hosts "Countdown with Keith Olbermann). While speaking to Olbermann, he finds out

In Ohio, a swing state in this election, Palin supporters came out for her rally and spoke about their feelings on Obama, revealing that they don't think a NEGRO should be president because NEGROES are 2nd string players...not 1st string (listen to how he says Negro -- you know he says ni**a when he's talking to his own peeps).

So, I was recently asked by many people why I haven't written about the election, as this presents a prime opportunity to blog about the state of the country, among other things. The answer is, everyone's writing about it...and I want to read what others think rather than spout out my thoughts on the campaign. However, a recent video caused a reaction in me that I can only describe as utter

Last night, I went to a local favorite bar with several co-workers, and inevitably, the conversation turned into relationship updates. Who's still together? Who's broken up? Who's in limbo? I was shocked to find out several long-term relationships had ended, whether due to distance or lack of progress in the relationship itself. But the one common thread through it all is that nothing is forever,

Everyone's been buzzing today about Senator Obama's family interview, and the fact this is girls were so adorable. Some even loved how the older daughter rocked her cornrows on a national interview - kudos to the Obamas for that!What I loved about it, though, is how NORMAL they all seem - not too "posh" or overdone, and you can tell they probably prepped their kids a little, but they let them be

So, I was recently telling some friends that I used to google guys before I went out with them -- and even today, sometimes I google people to get background on who they are before I meet them in person, find out if they have any interesting news (can you say murder suspect? Yes...that happened to a friend!), or just out of boredom.But the question is -- do you google a guy BEFORE you date him?

Do all mean cheat? Or do all men just have the propensity to cheat, and it's up to them to control it? Over the years, I've had girlfriends in 1 of 2 camps: either all men cheat, or all men want to cheat. I have had some girlfriends that think that men are responsible enough to stay committed and true to their mate -- but sometimes, that comes back to haunt them.I think guys are just as capable

Is Isaiah Thomas the stupidest man on the face of this earth? Why in the HELL would you do a videotaped deposition and say that it's no as bad to call a black woman a bitch as it is for a white woman? That's insane. But he said it!

Welcome back! This posting comes from the many stories about wedding day mishaps, bridesmaid horror stories, funny (and not so funny) family moments, and the "post" wedding day mishaps (photographer not sending your photos!) that I've heard my friends describe about their wedding day or the night before.It's interesting because we all imagine that special day going perfectly -- the sun is shining

Have you ever met someone who you instantly knew was special to you? When you see them, they take your breath away...and when they look at you, it paralyzes you and relaxes you at the same time? Or perhaps it's a love that grew out of a childhood friendship that never really went away because that person knows you inside and out and no one else can ever know you like that? You know how it goes...

Does the race of Jesus Christ matter in history, in today's society, or to you personally? Was Jesus Black? Or White? Or Chinese, or Hispanic? Can you picture Jesus as all of these races, or just one?Filmmaker Jean Claude LaMarre has set out to demonstrate in his new film, "Color of the Cross", that the race of Jesus does not matter. In an article on MSN, LaMarre, who plays Jesus in his film,

We've all known of a married man who didn't/doesn't wear his wedding ring, but the question is why? Single women everywhere have long experienced this phenomenon: the unnoticeably married man. They're in bars, clubs, or just out an about just like any regular single guy. The difference is that they took a vow to forever be married and with that vow came a ring...which, has somehow escaped his now

Life can be very busy for women. So busy, that we often forget to make time for ourselves. Between finding time for our careers, family, friends and the occasional boyfriend or two, weeks or even months can go by before we spend time alone relaxing and thinking about nothing.CNN recently posted an article entitled "Why is Me Time Such a Big Deal?".

Everytime I attend a new church, I am surprised at how many pastors speak about political issues during their sermon, such as the war in Iraq, the faults of the President, and the direction the nation is headed politcally. Even when I think there might be one instance where a pastor doesn't hit on any of these issues, it always comes out near the end of their sermon. This begs the question - Is

We have all heard the expression "the apple doesn't fall that far from the tree" but just how much do our parents and siblings affect the adults we grow up to be? Do our relationships with our parents determine what kind of mates we'll become? Do our siblings influence how effective we are in conflict-resolution? Does how your parents communicated with you growing up affect how you will you

I'm the least politically charged person I know, however I do understand topline issues that take place in our government and that's what I'd like to discuss.The Voting Rights Act of 1965 was recently renewed in July 2006 which allows for the federal registration of voters in states that had 50% or less

What's the best relationship advice? "Don't get any".

Other people have their own biases and mindsets about relationships that may not fit with yours. Questions:What do you do when a relationship is typically "forbidden" by society, such as

It's an age old question: can men and women can just be friends? Often times I hear women say that they have more male friend than female friends. Sometimes, it's because they never really liked how catty women can be. Other times, it's because they were tomboys as kids and they had more in common with guys rather than with girls.But can they be JUST friends? If you have a lot of male friends, I

A New York magazine article entitled "The New Monogamy" states that marriages are becoming more and more open. The thinking is that agreed-upon "cheating" will ward off the urge to stray further. In this view, as long as each spouse "sluts around" (their words, not ours) within the boundaries deemed acceptable by both parties (rules range from just kissing to engaging in full-blown orgies), they
