About Me:
THE COCONUT DIARIES blog is the uncensored part of me. The squirrel that’s just trying to get a nut. The pieces of me that are good, bad, funny, and reveal my persistent, incurable inattention to detail that exercises itself in my missing obvious social cues. Why the title? Well, someone I respected and loved in my adolescence pulled me aside to say, “Us coconuts need to stick together!” He later explained that, like us, a coconut was brown on the outside and white on the inside. Although I don’t consider myself “white on the inside”, there was an indescribable comfort in knowing that I was not alone. I wasn’t the only one who’d grown up in a predominantly white neighborhood and had mostly white friends. The only one who felt a constant tug between cultures that left me ”too white” for this or “too black” for that. This is me in a blog, living my life the best way I know how, and painting my own silver lining on the clouds so that someone else might discover, in this vast Internet connection, that they are also not alone.

…And because stories about the weird guys I’ve dated, the random things that skate through my mind, and the countless ways I make a fool of myself are funny.

Wanted: Blog Psychiatrist

"…Drugs are illegal, but ATM machines are open 24 hours a day. Twenty-four hours a day. For who? Have you ever taken out $300 at 4 o'clock in the morning for something positive? When you press that machine at 4 o'clock in the morning I think a psychiatrist should pop up on the screen and go ‘C'mon man!’"—Chris Rock, Never Scared

Same for my blog.

I need a lady in fuchsia wool suit and tight teacher’s bun to pop up on my screen. I need her to shake her head from side to side, gently remove riml… Continue

My Universe, Brought to You By The Folks at AA

The Universe: I don’t think you should drink today.

ME: But I’ve had a pretty rough week…I got cursed out at work in Portuguese, the side effects from The Implant has been 2 straight weeks of gifts from Mother Nature, AND I’m a little peeved at McCain’s veiled attempt at securing the female vote with this Sarah Palin nonsense. I am looking forward to meeting up with My Singles for some cocktails.

The Universe: If you insist. I will turn off your alarm clock so you’ll be late for work.

ME: Oh,… Continue

Some of My Best Friends Are Disabled!

One of my least favorite sentences is, "Puh-shaw! I'm not racist...some of my best friends are black!". It's a close second cousin to "No offense, but...". I usually sit high atop my crystal Throne of Judgment, thrusting an exquisitely polished index finger, flaring my nostrils and crinkling my forehead to admonish, "If you have to say 'no offense', there's a pretty good chance that what you're going to say is offensive."

Until...

After a month and a half of crazy workouts, my old body finally… Continue

Do you have a secret crush???

If you or someone that you know has a story contact this Emmy Award-winning production company. They are producing a pilot for a prime-time reality show on a well-known, respected cable network. They are seeking willing men and women who have kept a secret close to their heart and now would like to reveal the truth to someone who will be significantly impacted by your revelation.

The act of sharing your secret could help both you and others and it may allow you to find peace and closure. You and the person you are telling, will be supported through the process and will not feel alone in dealing with your revelation.

They are experienced in honoring sensitive and intimate stories. They are not interested in any revelation that would exploit or others.

Here are some examples of the types of stories that they are seeking:
_. Do you have a secret crush on someone that you work with or have known for a long time? Are you ready to tell them?
_. Are you a shopaholic who has run up her credit cards and fears telling her husband?
_. Are you the survivor of a car accident, plane crash or natural disaster where you have faced your own immortality and now want to tell something that you have been holding for years?
_. Are you a twin that has kept a secret from the other twin?
_. Are you a person of color who has passed as white and are ready to embrace your ethnic heritage?
_. Are you a veteran of any war who carries with them the pain of another soldier's death ... possibly through friendly fire ... and cannot shake off?

They would love to talk to you if you are ready to tell your story. If you contact them they will tell you what broadcaster is involved.

Contact us at lifetimesecrets@aol.com or nscent@aol.com. If you want to speak to someone, call them at 410-263-3023.

Please know that your response does not necessarily guarantee that your story will be chosen, nor does it obligate us in any way to use it once you have told it to us in confidence, because we may hear like or similar stories. If the secret you choose to reveal at this casting call involves a crime or is of a criminal nature, they, of course cannot offer you protection.
