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 [...]

Well…everyone has probably heard a thing or two about conspiracy theories revolving around 9/11/2001. True or not? Your decision. However, the sheer number of current and former government officials (from all over the world) who have suspicions about the events leading up to that day SHOULD spark a little bit of curiosity. Here’s a recent development that you may, or may not [...]

1. Smiley Riley is the reincarnation of Falkor (from the movie The Neverending Story) #imjustsaying 2. Antoine Dodson needs to be shipped to a remote island off the coast of noman’s land. I’m dead serious. 3. Last night during the Nuggets game, point guard Ty Lawson (D.M.V representative) was the proud recipient of the greatest list of nicknames ever created. [...]

Firstly, I like this picture. “And so when the evening was over, there was no lingering, just a polite good night. She stood there silent, glass of wine in her hands, with a look of puzzlement on her face,” he recalls. “As the doors closed, it hit me like a ton of bricks that she was shocked that I hadn’t followed [...]

A lot of times we get so bogged down with fighting off colds and warming up our wardrobes that we forget one important thing….spring is right around the corner. It seems like every year I reach that pivotal point in March, when my winter gear is finally 110% complete, but it’s 45-50 degrees #ftswindle. If you’ve been to the mall, etc lately [...]

I tried taking out the trash this morning and almost busted my ass about 43 times (my wardrobe consists of not one pair of weather-appropriate footwear). On days like this, other than shopping for non-sanitation-worker-looking boots online, I like to catch up on funny clips/movies/shows. Here are a couple that got me rolling this morning: LOL. I actually forgot this [...]

Just read an AskMen article on “manscaping” aka male grooming. The conclusion: “It’s not necessary to base all your grooming choices on what women will think, of course (feel free to shave your balls if it feels good to you), but since women are the ones you want to see you naked, you should at least take their opinions into account [...]

Let me get on my A&R ish one time. Here are some recently released tracks from some artists I like. All tracks have download links so feel free to add them to your music library. Lloyd ft. Young Jeezy + R. Kelly – Lay it Down RMX Comments: Lloyd is singing way to hard for his own good. Sounds like [...]

Ron Artest and 50-Tyson should make an album together. Since when did this fool become a human rights activist? and who the hell is that trying to sing?? Craigslist posting for a blind-date dinner party. *drops mic*

You can go ahead and mute the video if you like, but definitely put it on fullscreen. So Rio for World Cup…i’m 100000% all the way in. Florida – Turn Around (5,4,3,2,1)

There are some beats that just make anybody sound decent. “Black & Yellow” is one (“No Hands” is another). I give the Northwestern Univ student props for getting loose in his dorm room (or million dollar condo) though…happens to the best of us. Dont act like you haven’t recorded some drunk ish with your friends post-pregame. Well maybe you haven’t….but [...]

It’s a shame that teen pregnancy has gotten to this point. 90 girls in one highschool in one year…ridiculous. What’s not mentioned in this clip is that Frayser High School is a Title 1 institution that receives government aid based on how many students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch (low income households). At Frayser, nearly 100% of the student [...]

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. [...]

Women need to reassured of your unwavering interest in them and all things concerning them. This is one of the most important aspects of a healthy/happy relationship. As guys, we too need the occasional reassurance (and most women are usually good at doing this) but it’s just not that life-changing for us. If you’re still confused, im talking about situations [...]

Don’t jump too quickly at the first opportunity. Sometimes you need to take a step back and think things through. Don’t fall for failure masked in opportunity. Pun intended.

Over the past year I have developed a sincere love for Lady Gaga. #thatisall on that. Gaga’s tips for Halloween: 1) Friends + Whiskey = “shit-hammered” fun 2) Blonde wig 3) $2 hair extension 4) leather (or pleather for those feeling the recession) 5) sex (…) I will be dusting off my grown-man-ness to escort my 11 yr old sister [...]

Word though? Do these Jersey Shore kids really get money like that? Twin Bentley GTs customized from top to bottom by Unique Autos? Not cheap. Not cheap at all. And judging by those headlights, i think those are the 2011 models. Can someone please let me know how I can get on a reality show? This MD thing is taking [...]

It is only right. Mad cars deep.

Probably the best shoe/brand commercial i’ve seen in a while. Jordan Brand always steps up with their ads. Lebron should contact D. Wade’s people and get some of the Jordan staff working for him.

Lebron continues to be extra. Whoever is in his PR corner (other than his best friends) needs to look at who exactly their client is…and who their client’s audience is. This is professional sports. Pro sports fans are generally far more forgiving of character blunders than consumers in other industries. All you have to do as an athlete who f*cks [...]
