Just Don’t Get Caught

OK, so I’ve never been a huge fan of Tiger Woods. I mean, I appreciate the barriers he’s broken in the world of golf, but besides that, I’ve never been too excited about the man. I’ve never been attracted to him physically, probably because I’ve always felt that he wouldn’t be attracted to someone that looks like me, a short dark-skinned woman with naturally tight curly hair. Also, I’ve always thought he was corny and I never bought into his I’m perfect living the perfect life type of image that he’s always tried to portray and market to the American public. But I have to admit, just like most everyone else, I’ve been truly amused by Mr. Tiger man these past few days. When the story hit that his wife broke the windows of his Cadillac Escalade with one of his golf clubs, I was immediately intrigued. My first reaction was wow, Tiger Woods is married to some psycho chic that probably over reacted to something silly. Even as the story continued to unfold, first with reports of Mistress Rachel Uchitel and mentions of headlines in the National Enquirer, I still believed Tiger’s wife Elin overreacted, because Rachel adamantly denied the allegations of an affair. But when the news surfaced regarding Jaimee Grubbs and a two year fling with the golf superstar, I began to understand Elin’s desire to cause bodily harm to the man she loves. Especially after hearing the voicemail message…

“Hey it’s Tiger, do me a huge favor, my wife went through my phone, can you please take your name off your phone? Can you do this for me?”

WTF? How stupid can a man be? Did he want to get caught? And now there are reports of another woman, in Las Vegas that he reportedly has had a thing or two with. Seems to me, Tiger has been trying to be a player, but although he’s been playing the field, he really hasn’t been that good at it. Sending text messages to women about sexual acts and leaving intimate messages on voicemails, not a smart move Tiger. Real players don’t leave evidence behind. I remember back before the advent of cell phones, catching my ex- boyfriends by going through their pants pockets after a night of partying. If I found a number, then that’s how I would discover that said dude was cheating on me. Good players back in the day would not leave telephone numbers in pants pockets to get caught. Same concept should apply today. Even with today’s technology, men and women, if you’re going to play the field, do not leave a digital footprint as evidence that you are playing this game.

On Our Way to the Top of the Lighthouse

“Alright, you go on up, I’m going to wait right here,” my then 17-year old sister Obadiah declared after we’d made our way to the grounds of the Key West Lighthouse and Keepers Quarters Museum. She and my then 21-year old sister Onierita and I decided to drive down from Weston, a small resort town west of Ft. Lauderdale. I had been in South Florida maybe a little over a year when my sisters and I decided to plan this day trip. Only a few hours away, we knew we had to try the conch fritters, and bring home key lime pie as well as hit the Pirates Museum, Mallory Square, and ride a trolley to the historic Key West Lighthouse. We talked about the itinerary beforehand and that’s why it came as such a huge surprise when Obadiah protested taking the journey to the top. “What,” Onie and I questioned in unison. “I’m going to wait right here,” Obadiah smiled up at us defiantly. “Oh no,” I said, “You’re going with us!” “Yep,” added Onie, “you have no choice.” Obadiah reluctantly headed towar...

How Safe Am I Really?

Sometimes I don’t feel comfortable in this small town that I reside in. Although most of the time, I think it’s just me. Over the past few years I’ve become a bit paranoid and feel sometimes that pairs of eyes are trying to get a hold of me. Now it doesn’t help here that South Carolina is a conservative red state and that from time to time I’ve seen a confederate flag hanging over the balcony of the apartment across the parking lot from me. Nor does it help that at one time my office was so charged politically that I called in sick the day after President Obama was elected. Still despite all of this, I have felt relatively safe in my surroundings, albeit a bit uncomfortable. But tonight I experienced something so unsettling that I’m just not sure how I should label it. Lately it seems I’ve had a taste for barbeque. A few weeks ago I was intrigued by a quick conversation on identity with the cashier in the drive-thru at Jim N-Nick’s BBQ and today, I decided to visit a new barbeque resta...

Tari: A Part Time Love Adventure

I fell for him even before I met him. I had taken a part-time position at a local gym and fitness center and I was the first smile members saw when they walked through the door. I was a front desk clerk, and my job was to take guest fees and to register members for classes. It was an easy part-time job, filled with a bit of friendly and perfectly built pieces of eye candy. But as much as I enjoyed the well oiled machines that walked through the door, and as attracted as I was to just about every male there, I was most drawn to an employee that I had yet to meet. For some reason, fellow co-workers kept bringing up his name. “Wait till you meet Matt, wait till you meet Matt,” they would say. They, were a young bunch. Most making their way through college. I was older and college was already years behind me, but this part-time job helped to pay the bills, because my full time salaried position just wasn’t cutting it. So the first couple of days of this new gig, I had heard a lot about thi...
