Like many people who follow politics or even just try to stay current on what's up with Barack Obama, I saw the picture of Arizona's Republican Gov. Jan Brewer sticking her frowsy-finger directly in Barack Obama's face like a pissed-off Principle disciplining one of her troublemaking students in detention. The picture is especially enraging because of the total lack of respect and reverence it shows she has not just for a man [a Black one at that], but for the President of ... Read More

I have a couple friends in somewhat serious relationships who are at a very important crossroad in their life that I believe ALL men go through before deciding to take the ultra-serious steps of getting engaged and then married: "Am I truly ready to leave the life of being a single and free bachelor alone, or am I ready to devote ALL my love and attention to one woman and ride with her through the amazing UPS and the sh*tty DOWNS". ...

I'm in TEARS as I write this - not tears of joy or pain, but the tears that come when you laugh so hard during a conversation that your cheeks start to burn and you start to get light headed. Now whenever I'm around close friends, people are always giving me ideas on things I should write on, and mostly it's stuff I've either covered ["write something on why men cheat!"] or stuff that's so personal to that particular person that it's ...

Let me state unequivocally that if you have not excitedly rushed the dancefloor, violently wall-slapped [west indians know what I mean], or furiously two-stepped to an R. Kelly song than your ass is either completely tone-deaf to Urban music or your taste in music is worse than Lil Wayne's dental hygienist. R. Kelly is a BEAST at making songs that make dudes want to do everything from smash 2 groupies simultaneously while pouring champagne on his nipples for one of them to ... Read More

I hope I don't sound corny as sh*t when I say this, but I really LOVE seeing people find a new love to share and experience with someone. Though I think the idea that 'there's someone out there for EVERYONE' is a frowsy-ass lie, I do believe that most people will at least get a SHOT at true love, and whether it works out for you comes down to the decisions and choices you make. But when we as human beings manage ... Read More

Yesterday, I was surfing around the blogosphere and checking in on what was up with other sites (which I unfortunately don't have as much time to do as I would like) I popped in at VerySmartBrothas.com and saw a post that had people (women in particular) damn near on the verge of E-homocide over a piece called “Rape Responsibility,” And The Fine Line Between Victim-Blaming and Common Sense. Now as someone who has experienced my FAIR share of HATE for opinions that ... Read More

According to TMZ, Heidi Klum has had enough of Seal's inability to use Proactiv wild-ass temper and has filed for divorce as his anger is starting to affect their children. Now the REAL story here is the fact that Heidi is the main breadwinner and she feels that their large income earning disparity has created a rift between them [which her PUNK-ASS should PAY out the nose for, like any man would] but in typical fashion, the corny ass Black community is ...

[caption id="attachment_7385" align="aligncenter" width="361" caption="Remember when this was Monday to Sunday?!"][/caption] I have a lot of friends in a lot of different types of relationships which gives me a unique, second-hand perspective on how they are all simultaneously coping with the varying trials an tribulations that come with their specific relationship. Some of my friends are in brand new relationships and are navigating the ups and downs of getting to know someone new, while some of my friends are married and experiencing the ... Read More

Yesterday I was chatting with one of my homegirls over BBM and she asked me a question that actually stumped me for a good 10 minutes: "When considering wife-material, what makes you happy or keeps you happy?" Granted it was an extremely broad question, but even still I was stumped because as I looked back over the course of my own personal relationships with women I've loved, I realized that I didn't love them based on a set defined list of qualities ...

Recently, a challenge was made to the Black community. The problem with this challenge is the fact that it was not expressly and explicitly stated to us individually or even as a collective - but it was definitely MADE. When Executive producer [and Star Wars LEGEND] George Lucas received ridiculous pushback from every major film studio who BALKED at the idea of financing and marketing a film with "an all-black cast and no major white roles" they essentially CHALLENGED the Black community ...
