By Richard Ray: I do not search the Internet for “Crazy Stupid Human Tricks”, but admit to having been a fan of shows like MTV’s Ridiculousness and ESPN’s Highly Questionable that feature such questionable videos. Feature is actually an understatement for the Rob Dyrdek hosted show, since crazy stunts are the actual focus if […]
LOOKING CRAZY
By Richard Ray: Have you ever walked out of your house looking crazy? Chances are you have, whether you realized it or not. Even worse were the times you did so in denial? I might have just been guilty of the worst offense, doing so knowingly, but in partial denial that it did not […]
PLASTIC SURGERY-CHEAPER IS NEVER BETTER
By Richard Ray: A single, 25 year old mother from the Bronx, died after apparent complications related to recent plastic surgery treatments done in the Dominican Republic. Janelle Edwards leaves behind two daughters, one 7 years old and the other 1. Her unfortunate and untimely passing should hopefully further remind people of the dangers […]
ON THE GRIND ALL THE TIME
By: Richard Ray They call it a “Grind” for a reason. If it was easy to be successful…happy…rich…fulfilled…famous…then everyone would be. I know within some variations everyone wants to have success and minimally financial comfort or stability. Yet, everyone does not realize the effort or energy needed to achieve success, and even if they […]

YG featuring DJ Mustard’s song and video for “Pop it, Shake it” is eliciting […]
RICH & FAMOUS NEED TO GIVE MORE
I am an unrepentant capitalist. In theory I believe that people are allowed to do whatever they want with their money. If you are Johnny Depp and you want to buy 14 homes and spend $5 million dollars to shoot Hunter Thompson’s ashes out of a cannon or you are Floyd “Money” Mayweather and you […]
LONZO BALL-ZO2
I know that people have jokes about the new shoe Big Baller Brand introduced for soon to be NBA draftee Lonzo Ball (The ZO2). Big Baller Brand is the line that Lavar Ball started and is trying to indoctrinate to the rest of the world as the next big thing. That all remains to be […]
50 SHADES OF MEL B

From tabloid journalism which includes the likes of gossip magazines, to entertainment centric television and the likes of TMZ, the public are perpetual voyeurs into the lives of celebrities. Reality shows like Keeping Up With The Kardashians give […]
MENTORING
I owe nearly everything I have become as a man (at least the good parts) to two people: my mother and a man named John Hoffman. My mother did the best in raising me to be a good and productive person, but let’s be real… she kind of had to… John was no kin. In […]
