Time is a precious commodity. I could write an entire piece on time from clichés and expressions. Time is promised to know one. Life is short… The list goes on and on, they are all truisms to a certain degree. I am not even sure if I bring something totally new to the discussion related […]
Until recently I always looked at myself as somebody that embodied Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “Dream” (Though many that know me would say Post-Nation Malcolm). I come from a segregated, poverty stricken Brooklyn Housing Project, to having the privilege of receiving a high school, college and graduate school education from some of our nation’s […]
Tragedy is seemingly around every corner. I do not necessarily believe that these are the worst times historically speaking, but with the advent of the Internet and multiple 24 hour news channels and gun laws that make access to military style weaponry as easy as buying a new television (within the United States at […]
Some of you are so set in ways that clearly aren’t working: you feel like life is a series of moments of déjà vu. We do not have to be trapped in a perpetual “Groundhog day”. Yet if we keep voluntarily following the same path of wrong or questionable decisions, how can we expect anything […]
I think most people choose to stay in questionable relationships, because the option of dating these days is a far scarier prospect than staying with someone who cant stand you, but may cook or at least pay part of the rent. I am no dating expert that is for sure. I have never liked […]

Starring and directed by Denzel Washington, the film chronicles the complexities of an African American patriarch, frustrated by broken dreams and minimal opportunities in the backdrop of 1957 Pittsburgh. Wilson won both a Pulitzer Prize as well as a Tony award […]
Have any of you ever seen a video of sheep being killed by wolves or other predators. I’ll spare you the actual visuals (though there is a fascinating documentary about Caucasian Shepherds used to protect sheep from wolves and other predators). The moral of the story is that the sheep stay bunched together as […]
Emotions are more than a poorly lip-synched Mariah Carey song. Emotions are the scourge of all rational thinking planners. Being all in one’s feelings comes in many different forms; and they are all detrimental to our success and well-being. A little emotion is probably healthy, and while it is entirely subjective as to what […]
Relations between men and women are complicated enough on their own, without us unnecessarily complicating matters. There are so many things in life that fall outside of the realm of our control. Acts of God, other people, where we are born and raised are just a sampling of things beyond our control. The only […]
If you are getting that itch or feel that clock ticking being around babies will give you baby fever. They are like puppies so adorable and cute… if you are even on the fence, friends with new babies, seeing them at the mall or even television will only increase that desire to get one. Now […]
