Bad Taste

This is called the Urinal for Gays. The sick side of me laughed endlessly upon seeing this. When I found this the caption said, what do Gays do when they go to the bathroom together. lol

This reminds me of making "Pee Crosses" as a youngster in daycare.

its bewildering the things we do when we we dont know any better

In Search of Balance

I need sip of life's V8

Ambition

Foxy, I'm a black man, and I don't know how to sing, and I don't know how to dance, and I don't know how to preach to no congregation. I'm too small to be a football hero, and too ugly to be elected mayor. But I watch TV and see all these folks and the nice homes they live in and all them fancy cars they drive, I just get so full of ambition. Now you tell me what I'm supposed to do with all this ambition?

If it wasn't for YouTube

I wasnt ready for this when it first came out. this has to be one of the best videos of all time. from the time period setting, to the slinky dresses with the forearm gloves.

this is a tribute to days long gone, and thanks to youtube for keeping them accessible.

House of Cards

In 2009, my house of cards came crashing down. I lost a certain amount of hope. The job was a vehicle, now a large burden that provides no answers. the finances have gone the wrong way, due to the ramifications of the aforementioned job. Home ownership is farther away than ever.

so in 2010, i search for the fleeting mistress called HOPE



if it weren't for my loved ones, i would have snapped some time ago. thank you.

One for the road

Things I've Learned

as you get older you get more comfortable with yourself. and not all of that is good. when i am alone things go thru my head repeatedly. i don't always acknowledge them but undeniably they are there

1. i am sexist. maybe i am stating it too harshly, but men are men and women are women. the difference is undeniable. now its not about dominance or inferiority, just difference. i am chivalrous to a point, beyond that is ridiculous.

2. i am prejudiced (more than race). We all are. if you say you are not, then you are a liar. as people we are different. we have different attributes, we are to be handled differently. now the bad part, there is a group of people that i don't like. they have never been nice to me and they work my nerves whenever i am faced with them. i bet they are nice people amongst themselves, but what they project to those outside their race, doesn't lead me to think highly of them. thats just being honest. and they probably don't like me either.

3. my patience is growing thinner by the day, especially at work. its getting bad. i have a look what i cant control its like in a cartoon when steam blows out a character's ears. i had this look and made a lady cry at work the other day. now, she was overdoing it. i wasn't mean, didn't raise my voice, i actually spent too much time helping her inconvenient ass, but the look speaks for itself

4. i am a better son, brother, grandson, boyfriend or acquaintance than ever before. my loved ones, i do love. i put in for my people without blinking in many instances. the better you are, the better i am

5. at 30, i still see myself as an untapped reservoir. i still await another transformation. i have energy, ambition, and will to dedicate to many things. yet i am still searching. i hope to assemble the pieces to my masterpiece soon

6. i am tired of being broke. its not fun or cute.

....."Can't Finish Like Charles Smith"......

i heard Joell Ortiz say it in a freestyle. one of the illest lines i have heard in a while. it recreated the visions you just say. The Knicks' collapses marked the end of my love affair with the NBA.

those daggers from the Knicks' losses still sting

SMH

old people and innuendo, a bad combo

Isaac is my name

the extra low haircut and the strong beard earned me the nickname "Isaac". he had no idea that i was a fan. i'll bee dat

Grover Washington Jr

Broad St and Diamond in Philly a legend is muralized. a mural is an ultimate form of respect and Grover's is well deserved


the groove on this one is phenomenal.

Stakes is High

Stakes is High and you doing this bullshit

1. tiger is fucking up so badly. i dont even know if the money can save him now. he is in the kobe category and its getting worse by the day. nine jump offs have come out the closet on him. nine in a five year marriage, thats terrible for the with the blandest man on tv. only beyonce is as bland as ginger snaps

2. didnt MJ teach him the game? i just know MJ was a snake. either clandestine payoffs or very pricey hookers. i am sure he has experience with both.

3. he may have been taking Barkely's advice on cheating. if you will take relationship advice from Barkely you should sign up for his fitness seminar too

4. does Tiger even cheat with any ethnic women? i mean damn, he is multi racial from Cali, you do the math. he has all the colors of the rainbow to chose from and only Becky's and Kaitlin's he chose. taste the rainbow for me Tiger, for me

5. and he got exposed in the most dramatic fashion too. the wife swinging the 3 iron. the crash and conflicting neighbor's testimony. their statements conflict everything he says. then the other chicks emerge like soap scum in the bath tub. which i think is grimy. if you knew the game and still wound up on your back, if you take offense with him that may be deserved. but embarrasing him and his family thats not cool cause you were just the willing tramp not too long ago, dont get mad when things dont go your way. you knew what you signed up for. its not like he could hide his marriage. you could google him.

6 maybe he needed a manager to manage his women and it would have worked better
