Why I'm Bad at Relationships

I realized recently, that I am not good at dating. I'm good at flirting, and sealing the deal and what not. But I'm bad at being a boyfriend, or even knowing how to go about becoming a boyfriend. Habits go with you. When you tailor your approach and your techniques for dating to only last a couple weeks, when you meet a girl you actually want to date, these methods can be particularly overwhelming. Slow is the key. Yeah, I've kissed every girl I've really liked on the first date, but then again, has that gotten me anywhere I wanted with those girls? At the moment it did, but I sit here today with no girls to steal my hoodies back from. So, I think it's safe to say, that maybe some coaching on how to get past 5 dates would be a good thing. Because I'm pretty sure, it's fast enough that any girl who'd want to stay with me after the intensity of my approach clearly has issues.

Black History

So, I almost meant to do this post yesterday, but I figured that by doing it today I could protest against feeling like there's only one month where we can focus on black history. We shouldn't have to take a particular month to focus on the history of any particular ethnicity. I should be able to learn about George Washington Carver, and other great African American pioneers in history class, rather than at a diorama at the Festival Sundiata, which is actually being held in June this year. And for all of you who feel that we should have a White History Month and a White Entertainment Television, just go to a history class, or turn on CBS.
