It was all over the FreshXPress thread, I'm been meaning to Google it and all the other acronyms that been thrown out but... what had happened was...

Sometimes all my socks are in the laundry and guest socks come in handy. How's that for a metaphor?

SMH Perhaps you're an son/analyzer/philosopher/voice of reason/rasta LOL Tue, 17 Aug 2010 12:44:57 +0000 http://nwso.net/2010/08/17/define-yourself/#IDComment93645551 http://nwso.net/2010/08/12/birds-and-bees/#IDComment93543689 No, you're not blind, Elle. The edit function was part of the old system and I haven't found one for this new one yet. But there I the nifty spell check at your disposal before you post :) Tue, 17 Aug 2010 00:24:24 +0000 http://nwso.net/2010/08/12/birds-and-bees/#IDComment93543689 http://nwso.net/2010/08/16/greek-life-isnt-for-me/#IDComment93542557 Well, if it was Wet Wednesdays post then it might fly quite nicely. Lol Tue, 17 Aug 2010 00:20:01 +0000 http://nwso.net/2010/08/16/greek-life-isnt-for-me/#IDComment93542557 http://nwso.net/2010/08/16/greek-life-isnt-for-me/#IDComment93541405 As long as I'm okay in your (critical) eyes I'm all gravy. Lol. Still, the original was based on my experiences and influences and frame of reference, research or not it was still honest to my personal experience and presented why and how those perceptions developed. Tue, 17 Aug 2010 00:15:42 +0000 http://nwso.net/2010/08/16/greek-life-isnt-for-me/#IDComment93541405 http://nwso.net/2010/08/16/greek-life-isnt-for-me/#IDComment93541243 I did reach out to a few folks in my circle before writing this post (do I get a gold star?), but no one had any insight into the whole branding thing. What's the significance of that and how did it start, if you know? Tue, 17 Aug 2010 00:15:13 +0000 http://nwso.net/2010/08/16/greek-life-isnt-for-me/#IDComment93541243 http://nwso.net/2010/08/16/greek-life-isnt-for-me/#IDComment93483151 Actually I looked into it, it's actually an issue with certain people's browsers. As people like myself are able to leave lengthy comments. You may want to try a different browser Firefox over Safari etc. A few quirks with this new system, debating if I may just go back to the old one :( Mon, 16 Aug 2010 17:39:32 +0000 http://nwso.net/2010/08/16/greek-life-isnt-for-me/#IDComment93483151 http://nwso.net/2010/08/16/greek-life-isnt-for-me/#IDComment93482628 Most def, but from what it seems sororities/frats are different, much like being a cop, fireman etc, in that it's a way of life for SOME. That you don't just clock out after your 8-hour shift. Again, not saying everyone falls in line with that but the general gateway initiation includes having to give up some of yourself even if it's for a "short" while. I'm just not willing to give up that much of my own power. With work at least I get a check for my services. LOL. I didn't know you had to pay to get in a Greek org. That's another con for me now, sheesh I gotta pay you to be pledged and POSSIBLY get accepted? Oh, and yes, some religions get overboard with the brainwashing as well. And based on the definition i used they fit the gang label too. Shoot my job is like a gang some times, us against the competition and I even try not t fall into that mentality too much because I've learned the hard way twice that that "we" is subjective cause anyone can get fired at any moment.

Women in cop uniforms usually got a donk. lol Mon, 16 Aug 2010 17:15:22 +0000 http://nwso.net/2010/08/16/greek-life-isnt-for-me/#IDComment93479735 http://nwso.net/2010/08/16/greek-life-isnt-for-me/#IDComment93401983 LOL Can't picture Rastaman with the handkerchief around the neck earning merit badges. Mon, 16 Aug 2010 05:07:33 +0000 http://nwso.net/2010/08/16/greek-life-isnt-for-me/#IDComment93401983 http://nwso.net/2010/08/03/why-men-stop-calling/#IDComment92687985 NP If it was truly you, thanx for the letter. lol Fri, 13 Aug 2010 03:54:17 +0000 http://nwso.net/2010/08/03/why-men-stop-calling/#IDComment92687985 http://nwso.net/2010/01/22/broken-family-values/#IDComment92687744 Not a problem at all. Thanx for sharing your story and I'm glad that you were able to find some comfort in mine. The rocky relationships with parents are a long road to healing. Good luck on your journey Fri, 13 Aug 2010 03:52:30 +0000 http://nwso.net/2010/01/22/broken-family-values/#IDComment92687744 http://nwso.net/2010/08/11/dream-lover/#IDComment92685321 You can subscribe to the site's email feed by inputting your email in the subscription bar to the right and then accepting the confirmation email you get.

I'm not Muslim nor am I trying to convert so I feel I have that option. For what it's worth the past two years ave been great experiences and my mental preparation was months in advance. This year just isn't the same. I may or may not regret it but I stand by my decision. Appreciate your insight and prospective none the less.

Appreciate the appreciation. lol Wed, 11 Aug 2010 12:50:13 +0000 http://nwso.net/2010/08/10/happy-ramadan/#IDComment92187574 http://nwso.net/2010/07/28/love-drunk/#IDComment92187214 Just click the contact tab at the top of the page and you'll see my email address. Just submit something there with Wet Wednesdays (or whatever else you'd like to submit) and I'll check it out at my earliest convenience. Takes me a minute to read everything (just one guy) but I get to it all eventually :) Wed, 11 Aug 2010 12:48:24 +0000 http://nwso.net/2010/07/28/love-drunk/#IDComment92187214 http://nwso.net/2010/08/10/happy-ramadan/#IDComment92118739 Erotica isn't "negative" in the general sense but if I'm supposed to be "pure" of thought and abstaining from physical pleasures, sitting their for hours crafting a steamy Wet Wednesdays just is counterproductive. lol And aren't you the full-blood Muslim? How you failing every year? SMH Wed, 11 Aug 2010 03:42:27 +0000 http://nwso.net/2010/08/10/happy-ramadan/#IDComment92118739
