Told Her I’d Catch Her in 2010
Posted by Dewan Gibson | Filed under Personal
Half Cape-Verdian/Half Swedish, met her in a nightclub in Lisboa, Portugal, shared nothing more than conversation and a brief peck, saw her again the following night–but her s-curled/musclebound boyfriend was there, I made a lame nerve-stricken joke relating to “catch u in a few years.” That was in 2007. Fuck it. No more detail is necessary, there’s an entire chapter about this in my book. Sonia, how you been? A few years is up. Shit I can smell the desperation.

The Head Detectives: Me and Neyo in Times Square
Posted by Dewan Gibson | Filed under Personal
Obviously I’m on a quarter life crisis voyage that has led me to the UK, Malaga, Amsterdam, NYC and now back to tired ass Cleveland (I say tired with the upmost respect, don’t beat my ass). Anyway, a couple of days ago I met R&B superstar Ne-yo as I walked around NYC like a human billboard in yet another instance of shameless self-promotion, or better yet shameless book promotion. Of course Ne-yo’s Superdome was covered so at first I didn’t recognize him, once I did he was more than willing to take a pic. Nice guy, seemed easy going. Shout out to Ne-yo to making life easier for those of us with large craniums.

My quarter life journey crisis has continued on to the UK, specifically Liverpool, England. While walking around this working class city known as the home of The Beatles I noticed some interesting fast food choices: 1) A Special Reggae Sub from Subway and 2) Krunchy Fried Chicken with a logo almost identical to Kentucky Fried Chicken…I mean KFC. I have yet to try the reggae sub, but the Indian guy at Krunchy Fried Chicken fried the hell out my spicy wings.

Dudes and Dudettes, ready for some sorry ass excuses. My laptop broke, I’ve been traveling and therefore unable to blog. HOWEVER…I did purchase a new and fancy two pound netbook that I will use to travel blog and then return to Target the day I return home to Cali. Okay, well enough excuses. I’m heading to Amsterdam in a few hours and will be sure to post something at least somewhat interesting. Holla.
Otto Baxter: Has Down Syndrome, Wants TRIM
Posted by Dewan Gibson | Filed under Personal
Briton Otto Baxter has Down Syndrome (don’t dare use the R-word!), but his mom wants him to have experiences just like 21 year old men, which include sex, delaying a career and jerking off. Otto agrees and has gone all out to lose his virginity the natural way, without the aid of hookers. In fact, as most men would be if they had spent the first 21 years without play, Otto has become nearly obsessed with getting trim. So recently he and his friend/caretaker took a trip across the pond to Sin City Las Vegas. The trip and Otto were featured in Details magazine. Here’s the link: Details
