Unemployment, Job Searching and Relationships

Posted on 06 April 2010 by Dylan the Foreigner

Unemployment, Job Searching and Relationships: While driving to work this morning, I realized that I have to spend several hours doing job coaching today with some people and started thinking of how I needed to structure my conversations, somehow those thoughts lead me into all the conversations about relationships yesterday. Yup, I know…..my mind is pretty [...]

Dating/Relationships and Female Gender Roles

Posted on 05 April 2010 by Dylan the Foreigner

Earlier today, I wrote the note about women not making excuses for men and lowering their standards but there is always a flip side to the deal and here we are. We are talking about the dating process and beyond in relations to gender roles. I do need to clarify what I mean by dating……. We [...]

Dating Etiquette and Going ‘Dutch’

Posted on 05 April 2010 by Dylan the Foreigner

A lady friend told me yesterday that three of her friends went on dates in the past week and in all three situations, the guys asked to dine Dutch style. This clearly set off all sorts of alarms in my head which leads to this note. Call me a male chauvinist, a pig, out dated, conservative [...]

Lessons from a Community College on Fat Women

Posted on 19 March 2010 by Dylan the Foreigner

Last night, I had the pleasure of visiting Prince Georges Community College (#DMV) to watch a friend perform in a play called ‘The Most Massive Woman Wins’ and walked out feeling pretty good about the message of the play. This play is set up as a political statement geared towards social change and honestly when I [...]

Before You Commit: Starter Check List

Posted on 16 March 2010 by Dylan the Foreigner

Don’t Rush To Commitment: In no way is this an all inclusive list enough and everything on this list will not apply to everyone, but no need to get defensive and dismiss any of it because of your personal blinders or naiveté. Also, I am no expert on successful relationships and I have never had a [...]

HBCUs and Sex Tapes: March Madness

Posted on 16 March 2010 by Dylan the Foreigner

I am not even sure what to say anymore, these sex tapes keep popping out. So no words needed……here you go. Yes I haven’t written in a while and this is what I return with. After the FAMU tape (whether FAMU people claim it or not), conversations on twitter and fb brought to light that [...]

Should We Stop Donating $$$ To Haiti Relief Efforts?

Posted on 27 January 2010 by Dylan the Foreigner

This question seems absurd considering we are only 2 weeks from the disaster that hit Haiti and a good majority of us are still in a very emotion based reactionary mode. While this question is not advocating halting donations to the people of Haiti in this great time of need…..I simply ask because the thought [...]

Tiger Woods, The Salahis/Party Crashers: The Big American Media Swindle

Posted on 01 December 2009 by Dylan the Foreigner

I haven’t written anything in a while but there has been too much f*ckery going on this past week on the Idiot Tube aka the American Media so I will get both of them out w/ one blog posting. Once again, we are allowing ourselves to fall into the media trap and further confusing the whole [...]

Dear Black Woman: Do you have ‘Good’ or ‘Bad’ Hair?

Posted on 02 November 2009 by Dylan the Foreigner

Did you see the Chris Rock documentary, ‘Good Hair’? If no, go see it. Unfortunately for Chris, I think that some people who will watch his documentary (Good Hair), will walk out of that movie theater (or bootleg laptop screen) with the wrong message. If you walked out of seeing that film thinking any of these [...]

Spike Lee vs. Tyler Perry? Are you serious?

Posted on 26 October 2009 by Dylan the Foreigner

A colleague asked me my thoughts on this and as I was responding to him, I turned it into a note writing thing. Spike Lee compares Tyler Perry’s work to Amos and Andy I think they are both idiots. 1. Spike for even making those comments initially. Yes, the comments were made at a Black Conference but with [...]
