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.

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

Mississippi Sissy

I am such a follower. I was at the evil mass conglomerate bookstore looking for a Jen Lancaster recommended read. Jen Lancaster has been officially added to the elite list of critics I will accept book recommendations from, which selectively includes Oprah and The NY Times Best Sellers. And People magazine. Apparently, my 'terrible with names, great with faces' handicap transcends beyond people and now encompasses inanimate objects. Since bookstores don't see any value in training their staff t… Continue
