SHAQ’S FEET-A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET
I didn’t mean to spring the image of former NBA great Shaquille O’Neal’s foot on you like that without warning. I know some of you may be eating right now and… well I just hope you have a strong stomach. I first thought of just posting the image and asking readers what is it? My […]
MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND-UNOFFICIAL START OF SUMMER
I know the official start of summer isn’t until June 21st, but everyone in the United States knows that Memorial Day Weekend is the real, if not unofficial, start of summer. The North and Midwest have thawed out by now with their harsh winters a distant memories at least for the next three months. So […]
MAN IN THE MIRROR
Excuse my less than sunny disposition, but I got into an altercation this morning and it left me feeling a little salty. It never actually got physical, but my encounter with the disrespectful muthaf**** first thing when I woke up was not fun. He wasn’t just disrespectful with the things he was telling me, but […]

MANCHESTER-TIME TO COME TOGETHER ONCE AGAIN
The apparent suicide bombing in Manchester at the site of a Arianna Grande concert resulted in a present death toll of 22 with nearly 60 others injured in the explosion.

TIP DRILL 2.0
So the rapper YG apparently made an uncensored video that have many comparing it to Nelly’s infamous “Tip Drill” that used to be shown at 3am Eastern time on BET uncut, before the moral police shut the whole program down. YG featuring DJ Mustard’s song and video for “Pop it, Shake it” is eliciting […]
HAPPY MOTHERS DAY
By Richard Ray: My aversions to manufactured holidays are quite documented (it is estimated that US shoppers will spend nearly $23 Billion dollars for Mothers Day, surpassed only by Christmas and Hanukkah), but how can I not make an exception for any day that celebrates women and more specifically all the mother’s out there. […]
TIME
I have never feared another man (or woman) in my life. This isn’t the beginning of some type of declaration extolling how tough I think I am, but rather I have just never wasted my time worrying about people in relation to my own pursuit of happiness, well being and even safety. Trust I have […]
