| Lo Fun Fact #1 |
| "Lolita Files" is my real name. It is not a pen name, as incredible as that may seem. There are plenty of Files family members and people who have known me for years capable of validating this. As for the "Lolita" part, my mother named me after the movie based on Nabokov's book, although she saw or read neither. To this day, she has no idea what a "Lolita" is. |
| Lo Fun Fact #2 |
| I love fried chicken and fabulous shoes. If you ever want to get on my good side, send Popeye's or Mr. Chicken (my favorite spot in Cleveland) and a pair of
Christian Louboutins. |
| Lo Fun Fact #3 |
| Never show up unannounced or without a Pepsi (preferably Pepsi Jazz Caramel Cream). Better yet, how about not show up at all? |
| Lo Fun Fact #4 |
| I hate the telephone. Don't get mad if I don't call you. I don't call anyone. Don't call me asking why I don't call. Just don't call, okay? |
| Lo Fun Fact #5 |
| I love the internet!!! I love communicating through the internet!!! You can e-mail me and odds are I'll e-mail you right back (if I'm not in the middle of a major project). Makes up for my hangup about the phone, doesn't it? See, I'm not so bad after all!!! |
| Lo Fun Fact #6 |
| I can't stand IMing. Please don't IM me. You will get the cold shoulder. I don't like giving people the cold shoulder, so please don't put me in that position. |
| Lo Fun Fact #7 |
I have four five wonderful, slap-happy dogs and a bird (some kind of dove/pigeon mix), all of whom I love to pieces. If you meet me and ask me about my dogs and bird, we'll be instant friends. If you meet me and ask me why the f*ck I have four five dogs and a bird, see the above fun fact for how I will respond. |

| Omar In Essence: The Backlash |
| Thursday, January 19, 2006 |
 Responses have been raining down on me left and right regarding yesterday's post about Omar Tyree's piece (heh-heh, his 'piece', heh-heh) in the February issue of Essence magazine.
 [click image to enlarge]
Lots of comments from the general public as well as fellow literati, some quite amusing and nearly all on point in their own special way. I've decided to post a bit at a time. All material is anonymously-referenced, out of respect to the readers of my blog who vent to me under the assurance of privacy (unless they request that I announce who they are).
One author said the following:Oh-My-I'm-Tired AKA Omar Tyree sounds (and is) very self-centered and pompous, like he who holds the dick/paycheck should automatically get pussy. Making the paper does not entitle a man to pussy, not unless he's out at www.craigslist.com picking up whores under the erotic section at $250 a pop. I hate one-sided articles. IMHO, maybe the woman he's married to needs put on her shoes and shuffle out of the kitchen long enough to speak up. Speak up, Mrs. I'm-Tired (unless she's Celie and is afraid Mista's gonna pop her if she gets outta hand). Speak now or forever...have to live with this bullshit. Pull up a barstool and tell the world (well, the part of the world who might be interested in your I'm-Tired crew) how maybe the fucking ain't all that, how he's weak with tongue, foreplay ain't happening, how he wants to enter you dry and the ride is done before any dampness occurs, how his ass is (speculation on my part) is always in the basement on the sofa jacking off to Tyra Banks, how you're dealing with all them rug rats.
Oh I'm Tired.
He makes men sound like we're (all) insensitive sexaholics. Being famous does not make your woman/wife/lover become your indentured servant. Hey, how about trying this to turn your woman on, to put her in the mood: RESPECT. Being married, committed, and monogamous does not make you a good man or a good woman. Saying you're tortured, that sort of voids all the other trying-to-sound-sensitive bullshit in that article. Essence should be shot by tree activists for letting that crap get inked on precious paper. I would say the next time Oh-I'm-Tired speaks, scribble his narcissistic ramblings on two-ply, but I'd hate for any of us (including Mrs. I'm-Tired) to end up catching IBS. Ba-dum-bum...chee!!
And that concludes my "A Lot Of People Think Omar Needs To Shut The Fuck Up And Go Sit Down Somewhere" segment for today.
More to follow as I suffocate under a barrage of responses from equally-repulsed readers of yesterday's Omar post.
Your words, people. I'm just the messenger.

no disrespect to omar tyree's wife, but since he PUT it out there...lemme break it down....
1) to publicly open up your "bedroom relations" within your marriage and not have your wife's rebuttal (like point/counterpoint)is unethical and irresponsible on ESSENCE part. (i only read his version, didn't read the mag, just what's in lo's blog. i don't think his wife rebutted him)
2) to humiliate your wife cause you think you're the shit, OMAR yous a fool. what makes you think your wife won't cheat on you, huh? what? cause you're making $$$$?...and that means what? security????...really now?...hmmm, interesting. have you considered, OMAR, she doesn't want to be with you (during your ALPHA needs) is the FACT that she "may" have someone else and you just don't have it no mo'?
oh, surrrrre. you're lacin' wifey with the finer things in life, cars, jewelry, whatever (juicin' up YOUR head)...but who's the fool, if you bought her a new car and she jets across town, in that same car, to see JODY, the maintenance man.
henceforth, she has "excuses" like you claim.
no matter how your woman look, big, small, attractive, un-attractive, rich, poor, whatever there's a brother that's looking at her. trust me on that. and with that dumb ass article you wrote, more and more men are going to look out for her now. even your closest boys. FOOL!
OR
maybe that's your modus operandi (M.O.) to use this article as a humiliating motivator to have your wife commit adultry, get caught, so later you can file for a divorce and have a "reason".

I have seen him at book conferences and he was with a woman who was not his wife im certain. Namely because she did not look like the picture of his wife i saw, and he was very friendly - so i thing he a liar, and that he has and will been cheating on his wife. He gives us men a bad name
