Over the past few years, I’ve found myself paying a bit more attention to the types of shoes women wear and how this correlates with their personality. I find that there are generally two personalities associated with each class of shoe. These are a few of my evidence-based conclusions. The #Shoeicide Heels (Louboutin, Blahnik, Gucci, etc) Personality 1: This is [...]

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 [...]

#PeaceBomb Bracelets PeaceBomb. Great idea. Love to see the young people picking up this project and taking it to the next level. Inspiring work here. During the Vietnam War, the US dropped an average one B-52 bomb load every 8 minutes, 24/7, for a total of 2 million tons of ordnance, making Laos the most heavily bombed country in the [...]

Chris Brown Ft. T Pain – Kiss Kiss #nohomo. Before I begin I wanna ask what’s really good with making out with random people at a club or party, and how/why do people do it? I’ve heard stories of serial kissers. You know, the guy/girl who makes out with 5 people during a night out (usually a bar crawl or [...]

I did my laundry tonight. No interruptions. No randomly mixed loads. None of that. Somehow, I lost exactly 1 sock per load (3). WTF. How? When? Where? and why ONLY socks!? Impossible! I am convinced that the Robin Hood of my washing machine and/or dryer takes one sock per load and uses them to make quilts for orphans in Tajikistan. [...]

“Creativity, as has been said, consists largely of rearranging what we know in order to find out what we do not know. Hence, to think creatively, we must be able to look afresh at what we normally take for granted.” — George Kneller

If you’re celebrating Valentine’s Day next Monday then you are well aware of this…the last day that (free) ground delivery will be available to you. Depending on where you live in proximity to your online retailer’s warehouse, that “3-5 days” could buy you another day or so BUT you dont want to end up being THAT guy/girl. Side Note: You [...]

As sad as it may seem to some people (cut from a rather pessimistic/realistic cloth), I think everyone…deep down inside…wants this….one day. Wouldn’t it be nice? I think so. This is what we all grew up reading about in fairytales and watching in movies. Unfortunately many of us saw and experienced quite the contrary over the years. However, I still [...]

Ed Norton fills us in on how fundraising has evolved, and introduces his social-networking-meets-fundraising site Crowdrise Raising money from people who are passionate about a particular cause is easy, but how do you convince those who have no connection to an issue to give their time and money? Ed Norton offers some tips, based on his own experiences as a [...]

I’d like to know how many major inventions have originated in Africa and/or created by Africans. Being black history month, we’re sure to hear lots about African-American inventions; we all know these are grouped under the ever-growing umbrella of  ”American inventions” anyway. What about those that originated in the motherland? I found a BBC article that stated “the traffic light, [...]

Not a fan of Green Bay, but Weezy doing a superbowl track is worthy of mention. And anyone who says “now we about to cut Palomalu’s hair off” is a fan of mine. F Pittsburgh! Weezy – Green & Yellow Freestyle (Wiz should’ve been done the Steelers version.)

10 things thou shalt abide by while texting/BBMing/etc… 1. PSA: DO NOT TEXT & DRIVE. I text and drive, but I wish I didn’t. Not just because it’s the law, but because we have all experienced that heart-stopping moment when you look up from your phone and ____________ (fill in horrifying experience). The sad thing is that, after you escape [...]

The Bugatti Boyz (Diddy & Rick Ross), Pharrell, and company…blow $1 million in King of Diamonds (well-known Miami strip club, host to Lil Wayne welcome home party, Drake bday party, and DJ Khaled bday party in recent months) They had to bring the Brinks truck out. Black trash bags wouldn’t do the job. $1mil at a strip club. Fiscal liberalism [...]

Someone please get Nicki Minaj another job, preferably in acting or theater. She’s too talented to just be doing one thing. Ok? Ok. The first 90 seconds is her exhibiting her mastery of the British accent. Disclaimer: It was brought to my attention that her accent “sounds so fake.” In order to overcome this phenomenon, open another window over the [...]

Aston Martin is pushing an online marketing agenda surrounding the release of their new line of vehicles, featuring the Aston Martin Rapide four-door saloon. Probably the nastiest 4-dr coupe on the market (atleast until my baby, the Benz CLS, comes out in 2013). Oh yea, Swizz Beats makes a short cameo in the 3rd vid.

Growing up I anticipated the women of my 20s, the years that old heads refer to as their “heyday.” Now, mid-way through it, I realize that things have changed since the 80s (and even the 90s)…and they’ve changed for the worse. The following is a collection of my grievances. What ever happened to the girl that…….. Cooked (maruchan/ramen noodles doesn’t [...]

Oxytocin: a hormone secreted by the posterior pituitary gland; stimulates contractions of the uterus and ejection of milk. Commonly referred to as the love hormone or the cuddle chemical (i.e. post-smash booluvin) Writing in the New York Times, Nicholas Wade says: As oxytocin comes into sharper focus, its social radius of action turns out to have definite limits. The love and [...]
