So it’s Groundhog Day and I heard Puxatawney Phil looked out and saw the GOP field. Yep, four more years of Obama. Of course this might be great news for Democrats or anyone riding the anti-Romney train; but, I’m not sure if four more years of president Obama really means anything. Oh no, not that I’m [...]
At this very moment in time as I type this, I feel like I’m in the twilight zone. I recently wrote about fellow Tennesseans who just so happen to be members of the Tea party and their presentation of a list of demands to our state lawmakers. Among the requests was the demand to remove [...]
In the wake of all of the media attention aimed at Black women, which included but wasn’t limited to; ill-advised dating advice from comedians turned quasi-relationship experts, speculation about why we’re single and unmarried, No Wedding No Womb baby-mama campaign, why we are supposedly threatened by Kim Kardashian’s elegance, grace, and beauty, and play-play scientific charts documenting [...]
Admittedly, I’m not much of a “collector”. There are few things that I feel necessary to call a collection; in fact, I don’t like a lot of clutter and I find it unnecessary to have a bunch of things that don’t serve much of a functional purpose. This is not to say, of course, that [...]
Editor’s Note: I just read a story about a woman who as a result of refusing the advances of a would be male suitor, ended up in a hospital after being hit in the head with a bowling ball for refusing a drink offer. It’s a pretty extreme reaction to rejection any man, I think. [...]
“I am convinced that, except in a few extraordinary cases, one form or another of an unhappy childhood is essential to the formation of exceptional gifts.“ — Thornton Wilder As parents we all desire to give good gifts to our children. We all desire to see our children happy and smiling and without care for [...]
Well, since everyone in America is focused on celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ in a couple of days, Since everybody is now religious, and acting like all good Christians should by punching shoppers in the face, I have to ask; Umm, are women fighting over men in church what’s hot now? I swear, some [...]
Ever since Barack Obama was voted into office as President of The United States, liberal types have been dropping constant memos stating: Obama’s presidency is proof positive that we’re living in a post-racial society! In fact, they’ve been virtually imploring people of color to stop griping about racism and to get a sense of humor about [...]
I have four brothers, and I love them dearly; but, please believe me when I say there are somethings I will not do to protect thgem. I’m sure you can come up with a list of many such things you won’t do as I can. But let’s just say that this is one thing I’ll [...]
I fancy myself a pop-culture pundit of sorts and so am not ashamed to admit that this includes my succumbing to the Reality TV/Celebreality machine. Likewise, I also try to stay abreast of social media buzz and peep what blogs, cyber-mags, and social networking forums are on about. The two mediums seem to go hand-in-hand, particularly when [...]
I haven’t been to a night club in quite some time., so I’ve been out of the loop. At my age, there’s no telling what the young’uns are doing these days; and, my old ass stepping into a night club today, would turn that shit into a museum. But anyway, I got wind of the [...]
I got wind of the following information last week listening to the Tom Joyner Morning Show. And I’m not gonna lie; this info totally blew my mind. Now I must admit, I’ve been watching this natural hair revolution of sorts by my beautiful Black sisters; and, as far as trends go, I figured it would [...]
So, I think the internet exploded sometime over the last couple of days with the speculation that Chris Brown and Rihanna had reunited. Then for Rihanna’s birthday, she and Chris Brown exchanged tweets and released new music together. I spied with mine own eyes, the entire Gen-whatever-they’re-called running rampant on twitter, and the folks who [...]
I would be inclined think having a kid in the house has changed the length of that “rope” we talk about reaching the end of when it comes to what we will and won’t tolerate. A clear-thinking individual, however, should see the problem in the language used in some certain situations. Recently, XXLMag.com did a [...]
