  • Politics Is Like Hiring A Hitman
    by Scott Woods inPolitical on2020-08-13

    For me, politics is like hiring a hitman. I have values and things I care about. I care enough about them to at least bother voting for 5 minutes every year for one issue or another. And because I care at least that much, I vote for people who align with the ability to realize the things I care about.

  • Punching Above Our Weight
    by Roger Madison Jr. inPolitical on2020-07-24

    I believe our vote is the punctuation of our voice. Without that resounding exclamation mark, I believe our voices are just incoherent noise.

  • Living in a Black No-Man's Land
    by Roger Madison Jr. inOur Community on2019-10-28

    There are many narratives that define the Black experience in America in this 2nd decade of the 21st century. Our striving over the centuries of our sojourn in this nation is a tapestry of every human experience -- oppression, enslavement, forced assimilation, dehumanization, exclusion, segregation, isolation, struggle, perseverance, achievement, excellence, celebration, mourning, despair, progress, setbacks, lynching, assassination, genocide, terror, self-hatred, low esteem, pride,...

  • Fighting Racism
    by Scott Woods inOur Community on2018-10-25

    I had a boss who was racist. Not an outright bigot, of course; her toolbox was more subtle than most. We bumped heads a lot over inconsequential things. She frequently couldn’t keep my name out her mouth. Lot of gaslighting. You know…2018 style. I tried a lot of ways to combat or navigate her issues. None of them worked, and that’s saying a lot because I’m really good at fighting racism. But at the end of the day – every day – she was my boss, I had to deal with her, and that was that. Finally I...

Rules for One Night Stands by Kendall Banks

Rules for One Night Stands

So you're at a social event such as a office party, bar, restaurant, or night on the town with the girls, and you meet that guy who sends chills through your spine.  He's sexy, good-looking, and has the ultimate swagger. Every woman in the room notices him, but he has his heart set on you.  What do you do next?  You both play games with your eyes for moments until one of you get up the nerve to start the conversation.  Before you know it, you're giggling, and he's laying all his game on the table, until hormones start raging. The next thing you know, you're in bed. 

That's the typical scenario of how  ‘One Night Stands' go.   It's weird because I often wonder what goes through a person's mind prior to landing in bed.  Right now I'm thinking; booty call, casual sex, one-nighter, hit it and quit it, and lastly...MISTAKE.  What good can come from casual sex?  Well, I mean other than one night of pleasure. 

I mean it sounds great; hooking up with someone for one night of sex, no strings attached. Supposedly, you both walk away, never even thinking the relationship will go any where. But then there's that one guy or girl who didn't get the memo about how ‘One Night Stands' operate, they simply don't want to play by the rules. Then what do you do?  They're calling you.  Blowing your phone up!  Stalking you on FaceBook.  Going back to the place where they initially met you, night after night, hoping to see you there again. You simply want to say, "Wham Bam, Thank you Ma'am. ''   But you can't.  You feel obligated.  Or maybe even want to hit it again. 

Whoaaaaa...now we're really digging a hole for ourselves. So I ask, what are the dos and don'ts of  ‘One Night Stands'?   What are the rules?  I'd like to hear from you. Hit me up on facebook.com/authorKendall B. 

My latest novel titled, One Night Stand is due to be released in March, 2011 by Life Changing Books, and explores the gritty world of what happens when a supposedly One Night Stand goes sour. One party expects more... and will kill, or die trying to create the perfect relationship.
