Not every risk is worth taking. Sometimes you need to tell the daredevil inside you to chill the hell out and take a seat. T.S. Eliot once said “only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far it is possible to go.” This poor guy surely found out. (At least he got a free beer out [...]

I have no right, by anything I do or say, to demean a human being in his own eyes.  What matters is not what I think of him; it is what he thinks of himself.  To undermine a man’s self-respect is a sin. ~ Antoine de Saint-Exupery

DISCLAIMER: It is always better to ask than to make an assumption. The disclaimer is correct…however, when pressed for time, assumptions can make life a bit easier. Suppose you witness a teen-aged male climbing into your neighbor’s kitchen window in the wee hours of the morning. Assumption: Something is wrong. Reality: Something is wrong, but not necessarily something criminal. Life presents us with [...]

Especially nowadays with the economy doing it’s greatest Chicago Bulls post-1998 impression, an increasing number of young people are pursuing employment opportunities that don’t interest them, don’t challenge them, and don’t capitalize on their wealth of talent. (that was a long sentence) A paycheck is great, and it fulfills your financial commitments, but in the end you should choose you. [...]

…if you have nothing fruitful to say. Rick Sanchez, what do you exactly mean by saying the killing of 70+ people is “good”? “So be it”??? You should slap yourself. Please listen to this guy’s nonchalant attitude towards the bombing in Uganda. Maybe if he lost a family member or two or three in the explosion then he’d be a [...]

You don’t know the next man or woman’s story or what they’ve overcome to be where they are today. Just because he/she speaks proper English and has on business attire, do not for one minute assume bitchassness. You will be caught slippin sooner or later. #imjustsayin So you thought this white-tailed deer was just a harmless creature prancing around your [...]

I went to Buckhead Church today for the first time. I had heard good and bad things about it and just wanted to see what it was all about. In support of the good, the church is definitely more vibrant, hip, and engaging than your traditional place of worship. In defense of the bad, it seemed less of a biblical [...]

Every now and then, let a tear drop. Could be once a year, one a month, or once every few years…just make sure you get it out. It’s good for you. However, if you can help it, do not breakdown and cry like this man on Intervention… it’s a bit extra… #imjustsayin they’re wrong for this one though

Can’t live in the fast lane forever. Slow it down (i.e. find the right “chick” and chill, stop chasing quick money, etc) “Wisely and slow; those who walk fast often stumble.” – W. Shakespeare DISCLAIMER: Only do this when you’re ready. Otherwise you risk losing your mind. Remix

Good judgment comes from experience, and experience comes from bad judgment. – B. LePatner

So today i’ve been pummeled by false advertisements. Why can’t people just keep it real. My Apple MBP advertises 7hr of batt life, but they don’t tell you that in order to get that 7hr you have to pretty much turn your screen brightness to “off”. Even on one notch of brightness I get about 5+hrs. Then I look at my [...]

Shoutouts to the homie from Senegal, Abu Thiam aka “Bu” aka Akon Thiam’s real brother. Funny people these days. Be yourself. “…with your perm in your hair”

On my desk there’s a framed  quote that says: “The difference between the impossible and the possible lies in a man’s determination to always do his best” I couldn’t have said it better

You might find yourself in a tight spot but it’ll look up soon. Momma might not come grab you, but life will. Hold your head up.
