Today I was battling within myself to try and figure out what to post about this morning. I have a few ideas, but trying to decide which ones to put on paper isn't always the easiest thing to do. So this morning I am going to write about some of my favorite lines from some of my favorite movies. I was thinking about this on the way to work this morning and thought I could make this sort of "

I was talking with a friend of mine yesterday and she was telling me about this new strain of the AIDS virus that is even more potent than the shit that's out there right now. This AIDS is supposedly resistant to the current drugs that are being used to treat AIDS and HIV patients. So she emails me the link and I read the article and it basically went on to tell the story of this dude in New York

Well as you all know, it’s ON this Sunday. Yes you guessed it, Superbowl time. The Philadelphia Eagles and the New England Patriots will meet in Jacksonville this Sunday to go head to head in the 39th Annual Superbowl. And as you know, my ass will be glued to the tube for those three hours. Some of my buddies may end up coming through and we watch the game at the tip. We may go out to a

So I want to talk to you all about an issue that is a long withstanding problem in the Black community. Well I won't say that it affects just the Black community, I am sure it affects communities of all kinds. What is DaKelzz talking about you might ask? Well just take a look.... BEGGING MOFO'S!!! That is what the hell DaKelzz is speaking of people. Now don't get it twisted, I can understand

I was inspired to do this post because of a blog that I read a little while ago from a blogger that had reservations about a post they did earlier... Now even though this is a comic strip, by no means am I making light of a very serious situation that affects millions of people all across the world. I don't want to do any links or name any names because I want to respect said person's privacy

The hell is up with me lately? I haven’t had a thing to write about over the last few days….. So I guess I will write about a little experience I had on Monday of this week regarding supporting our own. Now I know this may be a topic of epic proportions here in the Blog world, but I want to give my 5..(yes, I said 5) cents on this matter. Now I am all for supporting Black business in the

Well its snowing like hell here in Chicago. I awoke this morning and looked out the window only to see that everything was blanketed in a fresh coat of snow. I would venture to say that we got at least 7 or 8 inches. And there is more to come so the weather reports say. With all this in mind I knew that I needed to be outside shoveling so that it wouldn't be damn near impossible to get off the

Since I am in this mood to talk about relationships, dating, breaking up I thought I would talk to you guys about my first crush. Now granted there has always been some sort of attraction between me and the opposite sex that goes all the way back to my early grammar school years. The kind of playground infatuation that entices games such as Hide N’ Go Get, Catch a Girl Kiss A Girl and Spin the

I got inspired to do this post after reading the Vengeance post on BC page. The Break Up Man, I am sure we all can relate to this one. It’s a subject that is often talked about on many talk shows, reality shows, and hell even in the movies (i.e. Breakin All The Rules) Anyone who has been in love knows that breaking up can truly be a hard thing to do sometimes. Not to omit the obvious reasons

What’s up Boys and Girls?, Just wanted to give you guys a little recap of my long weekend. Friday: Not too much went on after work on Friday, just usual stuff. I tried to make it to the barbershop, but wasn’t successful thanks to Friday evening traffic and the fact that it was made worse because of construction in certain areas. Got home and mad dinner, which reminds me, I want to thank all of

Okay, okay, I know my last couple of posts have been about the snow we have had here in Chicago over the last few days....but hell there isn't a whole lot else going on that's worth writing about. I will mention this one little thing though. I am sitting at work yesterday and my phone rings. It is my mortgage broker and he has been working with me on this investment property I am trying to close

You remember how when you were a kid and snow used to be the shit? Then as you get older you realize that the snow is just a big ass headache. Why? Because you have to drive in it, shovel it out of the driveway, fight idiot drivers because of it, etc. Despite all of that, I still like to look at it. Falling down and covering everything up in a this nice white blanket. I am sitting at my desk at

...so to finish up what I started on yesterday, I finally made it back home in time for New Year's which was pretty uneventful. I didn't do too much. Stayed in the house and was in bed by like 11:00. Of course I was in a light sleep when midnight hit and the guns started going off..that reminds me, how in the hell did that become a New Year's tradition?? I guess one day some genius decides he

What’s up ya'll… I know that I have been gone for a minute, but I am back from a long holiday, well rested and ready to jump head first into this New Year 2005. I must admit, I missed talking to you all over the last few weeks and so much has happened that I have no idea where to begin talking about it all.

Dear Female Species, I am writing this letter to let you know that I personally love all of you. I can’t say that I speak for all men, but I think that I can speak for a large portion of men when I say this.

Crazy as Hell.... So I am sure all of you have heard about the final verdict against Scott Peterson. I was home last night watching the news and they were talking about the death sentence that was issued to this guy. Now I remember when the news story first broke about him reporting that his pregnant wife was missing. When I did first heard this, I am thinking to myself, “This cat had something

Well this weekend was pretty uneventful for a brotha.... I mostly chilled around the house and got caught up on the first season of The WIRE. One of my guys dropped it off at the house last week for me to burn him a copy, so of course I obliged and had to make a copy for myself. I must admit that this is one of the best HBO originals that I have seen since The Corner. It has become a regular
