Emma: Congrats? For what, having sex with you?
Adam: You did a good job, so... I thought you deserved a balloon.

I’ve never given a balloon, but I have given hi-fives for great sex.

This weekend I had the pleasure of seeing No Strings Attached and despite the fact that none of you told me Natalie Portman was pregnant, I really liked the movie. Emotionally, I’m not going to be able to see another Natalie Portman movie with her crying again for a while. No homo. LOL. Anyway, I think I’ll go and watch The Other Boelyn Girl again. That’s one of my favorite movies of hers.

If you were expecting some introspective post about myself and Valentine's Day today, well that's just not going to happen. I don't like the hype, but i'm not one of those people who is a Scrooge. All those people who tell you, it's a commercial holiday or it doesn't really mean anything. Look at them and say, "My pastor told me to pray for haters, they just need love."

There are so many depressed people in this world. I’m not sure what to do with them sometimes. I know that I wrote about this some time ago, but I still have friends who are depressed who insist on making my life a living hell just because theirs is a living hell. That’s wack, and I can’t be involved. I know that people think it’s messed up when you leave a person in their time of need, but sometimes you have to decide what you will and won’t subject yourself to. No pity parties allowed.

Tomorrow, I’ll be in Syracuse, NY at Syracuse University to speak on How to Survive College Relationships. This is the first stop of SingleBlackMale.org’s Chivalry is Dead Tour. If you’d like for us to come to your campus or city to do an event, holla.

60 degrees in the District today.

For the longest I’ve always said I hate going places where people frisk at. It always scares me when I see a metal detector or get the pat down. I, in fact, always ask, “Wait, let me see the guestlist, who the hell did you invite that might have a knife or gun?” Back in the day, I also used to tip the bouncers to avoid that pat down. It’s just so invasive. Well … looks like The Park is about to have the ill pat down as two people got stabbed Friday after the club. I’m not going to Park if they are going to pat me down.

Californication is getting real introspective this season. Sasha Bingham is pretty awesome though, but she has that look like her weight fluctuates. Dead ass, there’s a girl, I would show you her picture but a lot of my friends read my blog and would tell her and being that she’s about to get married it ain’t right. Anyway, the first day I met her, I was going at it like at it. Bought her a bottle and everything, followed that joint up with that brunch too. Let me stop before I help some noodle learn how to get somewhere with women. So I told my boy about her and he ruined it with one line, “Yeah, I mean, I was looking at her Facebook pictures and it just seems like her weight fluctuates too much.” Being as though me and two of my closest friends have the almost exact same type, I had to go and find out for myself. All that to say, she’s getting married. And she’s perfect in every way, but my friend messed it all up.

I’m the same guy who thought a girl had too much space between her eyes.

Why do women wear leggings or tight pants and then put on boy shorts? It just doesn’t make any sense to me. Like are you sporting your underwear like they are a part of your outfit. Looks like a diaper to me. I hate that ish the most. You know what else? I agree with my homie, those American Apparel ads are straight porno. Check out the ad right here: http://thestyledit.blogspot.com/2011/02/american-apparel-this-is-problem.html

Who wants to be with someone that no one else wants to be with? I think part of the deal is that you want someone that is in demand right? At least that’s what I think. Then why do women trip out when other women flirt with you? I don’t get it. In my opinion it’s what I do about it. I get stared at a lot when I go out, and I get looks. And because I’m an absolute nut when I go out, I have a tendency to catch women looking at me and then I laugh. They interpret that as a smile. Not my fault.

Nine times out of ten, it’s a big body Benz, with a real [negro] in it, ride if you want to win… I’m getting face, I’m getting face, I’m getting face, I’m getting face…

Ain’t got shit to do with this, but I just thought that I should mention.

Lil’ Wayne tickets on sale on Friday, but I got that presale link for Thursday.

You ever have someone who is mad at you because you haven’t called them? However, do you notice that the phone works both ways? I just wish that most people understood that. But then there are some people who will insist that you call them all the time. I be telling y’all, I can tell a lot about the people you deal with by the way you deal with them.

Holiday weekend coming up for DC. And you know nobody does that Monday off like DC…

With that said, let’s get it.

God is good. Life is good
