Chicago is a city of neighborhoods. I know every place is a hood but here it’s very intentional. There are bars at every corner on residential streets between the laundromats and the markets, hidden between two brownstones hidden between balconies and flower beds. It’s easy for an alcoholic here I’ve never been to another city [...]

We had our first fight, and the make up sex wasn’t make up sex.
EX, X or Ex?

This is me and my ’special friend’ dancing. My kind of excitement is different. I don’t go out to parties and clubs or art openings or theater much. I don’t shop for pleasure I don’t host people at my house I don’t even call back people I consider to be friends regularly or even periodically [...]

I’m proud of myself for staying in a relationship with one person for five whole years. I like to remember the journey, the way our interaction with one another changed over time, the periods of intense love making, lazy before-sleep sex, morning calls. In the beginning (my favorite, which is probably why I’m always looking [...]

My birthday is in a month and I’ll be 25. That is not a significant age. There really aren’t any significant ages, except for 5 in some countries where if you make it to 5 then you’re probably not going to die before puberty. Recently I did a crazy thing. Not like I haven’t done [...]
GANAS II

What I hate is the part when time does no one a favor and sits still as you wait for the it to pass so you can go back again. So it’s thanks-taking season in this farce of a country. Consume consume consume. Buy buy buy. Spend spend spend. We have to strengthen the economy. [...]
Apartment Hunting

I’ve developed a grove now living in my own space. It’s trite to be honest but comfortable, and most importantly, safe. All these nights, I’ve never been afraid and I thought I would be when I first moved in. There hasn’t been any storms (during which I huddle under my blanket wishing to cuddle), but [...]

Unexpected Encounters. Where do I begin? Well I found one, not with quite the qualifications I had created. This one is from closer to the border than to Cuba. Still, it was, for me at least, divine. I want to hold the details to myself this time because I’m still using them to keep me [...]
Como el rio

Recently, an old lover of mine reappeared out of the blue. I’ve seen him around at various places, the usual dance floor or once in a while for lunch and record shopping, a glass of wine, an innocent kiss shared between us and a smile that held secrets only we knew. Mostly, we’ve corresponded via [...]
Another Horny Ass Day / Invisible Dick

I really do not feel that there is something wrong with m vagina today. It is so annoying. It is beyond horniness. It’s actually throbbing like a hungry belly and I’m totally frustrated because my list of potential lovers are very high maintenance and if I see them today, they will want to see me [...]
