this is mines, that is yours.

"shes the dame whos the username to all my passwords" - lupe.

I really wonder why the guy/girl that came up with the password to the cell phone was thinking. We all know its there for security and protection for if your cell phone is lost or stolen, but what about spousal abuse? You know the insecure girlfriend that wants to know your every move or the little side joint that just wants to know your business. This can be annoying and irritable for the average man. And ladies I know there are men out there that do the same things. So my question is why not calm down the emotions and relax. My first argument is that it is 2008 people. Plenty of people like myself put very personal and intimate things in our cell phones, because the cell phone can do damn near everything. My second argument is why be so insecure. I trust you, you trust me. There is no need to verify trust by digging through phones and emails. The last argument would have to be if I don't go through yours, why go through mines? That is just self explanatory. And then I know there are some men and women out there that are in relationships that share passwords, but still keep there cell phones to themselves. This is cool for now, but when times get tough the questions will fly and come at a rapid pace. Next thing you know, you might have to hide your cell phone. Thats why I believe the cell phone and password sharing should be kept to ones self. Now I am not married nor planning to in the near future so I can't answer this question for the newlyweds. Enter with your own caution.

"braceface! sit your ass down" - dj alize.

You know as a twenty some odd year older, one of the best privileges you have is going to the club. The whole nightlife experience, from the pre-gaming to the false realities of bringing a breezy back to the crib is fascinating. As a youngster we saw our parents, uncles and aunts, cousins, older siblings and eventually us enjoy this lifestyle. Drinks will overflow, fights will happen and someone will have to babysit their best friend tonight. All of these situations regularly happen at the club. But then again these situations can be avoided or put to some type of rest. However, there are unavoidable and irritating people in the club like the SUPER bouncer, because he has to be more annoying than a mall cop or the wack ass DJ who thinks hes keeping the party going. But to top these two I would like you to meet the attention whore. YES, the attention whore. Every song is HER song. She knows the the words to EVERY song. Vodka is pouring from out her sweat glands and her freekum dress continues to rise to no mans surprise. Her eyes are damn near shut but her mouth continues to run. For some reason she knows too many people in this club and her hair is all but gone. You know if you read that again, you would think I'm talking about a birthday girl of some sort, but I'm not. See usually thats where the attention whore messes up psychologically. She thinks its her birthday and wants all the attention on her, but no. Ladies, I give you one day out the year to be the biggest attention whore all you want to be, but if I continually see you in the club acting like its your birthday we have a problem. But the bad thing about REAL attention whores, some don't need the club lights to hit them or the mimosa to run through them. For some its their nature to be loud and proud. When you talk to them, they dominate the conversation. When you see them in the streets, you can hear them from a block away. Either all of these girls had a sibling who stole the attention from them as a youth, were the only child or just love to have all on eyes them. Sometimes I can understand why these girls act like this. Usually two or three girls in their crew look better than them so they have to compensate for the attention distribution. See what you have to understand attention whores is that your really getting bad attention. Don't no real man want an attention grabbing female that gets it through her mouth. And I'm not saying that the quietest are the best, but ladies if you actually want to pull something that is worth something, please calm down. The real attention getters are the ones who stand out through appearance, not volume.

NOTE: You can be an attention whore through non-verbal communication too. i.e. - dancing on chairs, tables, poles, etc.

phone tag. YOUR it.

"ima call you back" -anonymous.

You know in a world where texting and sending messages seems to be the best way of communication, nothing is better than a simple phone conversation. You know just to check up on someone or even to arrange a meeting between the two. But in todays world, calling is just used for delivery orders, calling Wachovia to say that you lost your debit card and to check on moms every once in a while. However, not too long ago there was a time where you would call a lady of interest and actually get to know them and care for them in some type a way. Some days you would call her and as soon as she picked up the phone, she says, "I'll call you back." Being the gentleman you are you let her call you back. But by the time you are ready to go to bed, still no call back. Now this is where it gets tricky people. Do you call back even though she said she will call you back or send a polite text saying "goodnite" or one saying "i wish i woulda got a call back." Now the next day is here, you check your phone and still no text back or call. Now the same three options come up in yout head again but its more like fuck it. You may be in love, in lust or just plain infatuated with the conuterpart, but any and everyone hates to chase some one down. As if your the only one that wants to chill. Not calling back is a serious disease that is going around in our communities. Just a simple, "im sleepy" text will be a good enough for some. In conclusion, ladies and fellas too, you must drop this habit before that someone is fed up and just wont accept you for who you are any more.

NOTE: Excuses are tools of the incompetent.

"i couldn't pull out, it was toooo.." - lovetrain.

My brothers, my brothers. No matter what social class you reside in, what hood you belong too or even what size white tee you wear, we are all brothers in the same struggle as being a black man in America. Through all the dumb shit I have seen in my days from guys fighting over stepping on shoes or colors by far the dumbest is nutting IN girls without a condom on. That is just the purest sign of greed and selfishness. You know the consequences of going in there raw already, THEN you nut IN her. I just don't get it. I, personally, have gone raw before and it is an unreal and undescrible feeling. But I don't know about you guys, but when I feel the Big Kahuna coming I automatically here baby screams and get the hell out of there. If you are going to go raw the least you can do is pull out for the girl's sake. You don't have to go through nine months of pain, irritation and hostility. This blog is basically about pulling out and respecting the female you are sharing the experience with. You got to remember my brothers this isn't all about you, neither is it all about her, its a shared experience. So why not have a great ending by just pulling out and if necessary, splashing on her belly or back. Too many of my brothers fall into the trap of early parenthood and not ready for the responsibility that a child brings. None of us are naturally ready to raise a child but forced to, therefore leading to a domino effect of uncertainties. And to my brothers out there that have had a child due to greediness, keep pushing and keep your head up. Raise the child to the best of your abilities and don't become a statistic or cliche. Our generation is already defined as troublemakers and fuckups, so why add to the madness? Sometimes life just comes down to the most simple choices and decisions. Think with your mind guys, not your heads!

"He is a crybaby" - hater.

You know his name. You know is face. You know his numbers. But did you know ever since the ripe age of 14, LeBron James has had a camera in his face and a microphone near his mouth? Just a few hours ago, James' season came to a thrilling end as the Cavaliers lost to the Celtics. He gave quite a heroic performance with 45 points, five rebounds and six assists. However, this blog isn't about his shortcomings or his progressed play over the past five seasons in the NBA. LeBron has been living with the pressures to be perfect for forever it seems. Now after this loss, every newspaper column you read and every analyst you will see tomorrow will say LeBron isn't clutch or LeBron can't get it done. They will say LeBron can't shoot a midrange jumper and that he doesn't have enough killer instinct. But all I want to ask those naysayers is this - "Could you do it?" The young prodigy has been living with a monkey on his back since grade school. Trying to be perfect, trying to please everyone and be liked by all. But the one thing James has to get over before reaching the mountain top is to say "Fuck the media, I'm going to do me." To me it seems the endorsements and being the face of the NBA holds him back from doing his natural motives. In the opening round series with the Washington Wizards, LeBron was caught in a fueling grudge match with some Wizards guard. Throughout the series, words and blows would be exchanged, eventually leading to LeBron getting the last laugh by advancing to the next round. However, I believe LeBron lost the mental battle and let the Wizards get into his head. LeBron played like shit the following two games, but ultimately woke up too late. I understand him and Stern have a business relationship and that he has over $100 million in endorsements, but it comes a time where a man has to be a man. Magic won without Kareem, Jordan took down the Pistons and Kobe left Shaq. Now I am asking LeBron to bitchslap the media, the endorsements and even the NBA if possible. There is a killer that lives within James and the world is holding him back from displaying it. At times through the playoffs I saw glimpses of the killer and that no one could touch him but himself. In the 2008-2009 season, expect to see a new James. He will have a gold medal from the Olympics around his neck and know the feeling of being part of a championship team. Which should result in him trying even harder to reach that legendary status amongst the greats. In conclusion, the microscope and magnifying glass can be on him for only so long before he reacts back. Only in due time, we will ALL be witnesses.

NOTE: LBJ doesn't NEED a jumper. I think if he adds a significant floater and better pump fake his points will increase and field goal percentage rise.

the pains of a minuteman.

"you got to be kidding me!?!?!" - anonymous.

Do you ladies really know how powerful pussy is? I really believe you ladies underestimate how GREAT it is. The whole perplexity and the demographics of the vagina are just amazing. The delicate tenderness, the instant moisture and the distinct, yet amusing aroma all make her to be an unstoppable force in a man's mind. I am not trying to put the pussy on a pedestal, but it does deserve its credit. Through time EVERY man will slip up at least once and get caught off guard by the power the pussy holds. Now once caught off guard, a man feels embarrassed, shocked and sometimes even mad at himself, because his mind was prepared for a long session. But sometimes Mr. Know it All will have its way. Now ladies here is the key point. He is sitting there damn near suicidal and lost and he is just looking for some type of comfort or relief. Please don't make fun of his shortcomings or overreact to the situation. In my own personal adventure of minutemanness, I and other peers of mine personally like when the female "talks shit" or challenges us to finish the job. Its so surreal, because 90% of black males played little league sports and all of us had that one coached that pushed us to the limit and we thank him for that. But back to the topic at hand, this is just one way of ending the madness to the quick start. Another possible way of consoling a man to a burnout is to "take care of him"-you know, a little kiss here, little kiss there, etc. In the end, ladies can you just remember that the pussy is powerful and being caught off guard is a serious matter. Be considerate and please get him back up, because more than likely that second time around will blow your mind.

three headed monster.

"He doesn't love me" -possum.

Love is a very powerful thing. It can bring two people together and bring years of bliss and happiness, sometimes even create a family. But as young adults in a sex, money and violence driven society, love is sometimes blinded by those demons. But those demons don't make up this monster. This monster is a black man in a society where they don't want him to succeed or find love. In the journey for love and the ONE he will meet rollers, hoes, flings, flirts, affairs and babymamas. These women aren't necessarily BAD for you, because they do teach you some lessons and the different instances in which their mind works. To me, these women are only classified as the way they are because of the brain(s) they can control on a man. A man has three brains-mind, heart and you know the other. His mind is the logical one out of the bunch. He is the best decision maker and is the only that can stop you know who from moving forward. The heart is more like the soul and the thinker of the bunch. As for Mr. Know it All, he doesn't think at all and only goes off of feeling. Now with all these three different personalities conformed into one, all have their faults. The mind thinks too much sometimes and can lead to over-analyzed decisions. The heart is a very emotional brain. For instance, when scorned the heart will disapprove of you automatically. Mr. Know it All is the one who's biggest downfall is just being about feeling. It might sound absurd but no matter how much he is love, Mr. Know it All will takeover. In essence, ladies if you want to find and keep hubby, you must have control and manifest over all three of his brains. In the ladies I listed before all of them controlled or manifested one or some of the three, but wifey is the special one that will make a man commit and be true to himself and his spouse. Through this, love and happiness will exist.

love.peace&hairgrease.

wonder woman's kryptonite.

"what happened to her???" - dean.



You know out of all the different kinds of women I have seen in my short life, non compare to a black woman. They are strong, opinionated and beautiful women. They come in all sizes from thick to petite and from tall to small. But for every wonder woman they must have a kryptonite. And in the case of these wonder women, metabolism is their kryptonite. Now metabolism is basically what breaks down food in your body, therefore, as you grow older your metabolism becomes slower. Which leads to females metabolisms slow up around the college years and thats why "Freshmen 20" or "Post Grad 20" exist. Unlike Superman, you all can fight your kryptonite. The easiest step is to go to the gym. Yes, sex is excerise, but its mostly cardio. In the gym, you can get rid of that newly acquired double chin, muffin top, cottage cheese on your legs and proportion all of that thickness into the right places. Im not asking all of you to aim to be Angela Basset or Jackie Joyner-Kersey, but have some type of pride. I notice, you notice and your mama notice that you are gaining weight so why not make a change? I suggest you and a couple of friends go there and work out with each other, you know just like how you all started drinking together. Yes, the first week will burn and you might not see results immediately but it will all pan out in the end. Right now only lames are trying to get at you, so why not go to the gym and get even more lames to stalk you? This blog isn't just an effort to get your torso right and ass phat but just to stay fit. Our grandmothers and grandfathers didn't know about diabetes, different types of cancers and such so why play ignorant to the fact and get your mind and body right. I really hope this blog inspires you to go hit the gym or even if your currently fit to bring a friend with you. Your already have the beauty ladies, so why not try to have th e life long beauty.

"am i my brothers keeper?" - nino brown

When I first saw New Jack City I learned many inner city rules and logics. For one, Nino Brown and Cash Money Brothers made it clear that it was always business before pleasure, no matter the circumstances. Another critical logic in the movie showed how money and drugs can break up the best of friends, even brothers. But the one that was the most significant was the factor of loyalty. CMB was based off of one statement, "i am my brothers keeper" meaning that no matter what you had your brother back. But due to backstabbing, money issues and a new found addiction to the glass dick, G Money and Ninos relationship eroded and eventually led to Nino murdering his own brother. In todays society of corrupt crime and criminal like individuals one man stands out in my mind. Convicted on cruelty to animals, Michael Vick is now facing a year or so in jail. But this isn't an article about his severe acts to dogs and not being able to leave the backhome boys, but a blog about his loyalty. With all three of his lifelong best friends throwing him under the bus, Vick wouldn't give in. He was loyal to himself and his boys. Later Vick would make a plea agreement to get a shorter sentence. But you really can't blame him for giving in at the end, since all of his "boys" snitched on him. Even after the horrible acts he committed to doing, Vick still has my respect for being true to himself and his ideals. if Vick can learn his lessons and stay on the right path he will return to greatness. But even if he does come up short on his return, he will always be his brothers keeper.

"when your playing bad your old, but when your playing good your experienced" - costas

In the suburban black community alot of things are not certain for a man. No one is guaranteed a father, being financially stable or even a settle home. But in most cases, a mother-son connection is destined. I don't know how to explain it. You can call me a mama's boy or whateva, but thats just love and bond that grows from within. And this post is dedicated to the number one woman in my life. From child birth my mom kept a patient hand with me and raised me quite well. She kept me active in my studies and sports and always told me to think and dream big. Its just amazes me how shes still here beside me after all the dumb things I been through, being suspended, failing classes and even lying to her. But we are all past that now. On May 15, 2008 Gayle Mundell turns the ripe and tender age of fifty. Words really can't symbolize how I feel towards her but all I know is that she is my hero and I wouldn't change anything for the world. Today is your day.

Happy Birthday Mom. thank you.

auras, silverware&paper towels.

"aint no three sheeters in here, but its a couple twos" - forty.

Man you ever walking around Wal-Mart or Target and just randomly see a baaaaaaaad (meaning good for my non-blacks) female come into your presence. A mans first impression is to analyze quickly and in a timely manner, because in times like this, time is of the essence. So some men look at womans bodies first and some look at faces. But in my journeys, I like to look at the overall girl and examine her aura. Yes-aura! Like Dave Chappelle sketch comedy, when Charlie Murphy met Rick James for the first time. Some girls actually have that aura and they come in different colors and scents. According to the color, its a good chance what type of female they are. For instance, if you see a deep purple glow around a female that are usually a sexual deviant and give off extreme sexual tension when you come to chill with them. Now in my short life I have only seen three colors. Purple, which I already explained, green and yellow. Green aura usually means the girl is high maintenance and only sees green in her future and only wants it. I stay away from green no matter how sweet the fruit looks. Now as far as yellow goes, these girls usually are sweet and adorable. I like to meet these types but usually just end up being friends. Now as far as auras go, you can only determine it when you first meet them (so don't come up to me asking me what aura you are!).
Another system I created was the knife and fork chicks. No they are not the best looking women who can cook and they are not the chicks who will stab you for doing something wrong. They are the type of women who look delicious, literally so you can eat them with a knife and fork ( and if they too juicy you got to pull out your spoon!) Now knife and fork chicks can range from 8s to straight dimes. To be a knife and fork chick you got to have three things. A seductive frame, mean shoe game and the walk of an angel. All three compliment each other, so its necessary to have all three. The good thing about a knife and fork chick is that you don't HAVE to be the best looking out the bunch, nor the classiest, but in some mens eyes they would eat you like a steak dinner.
The last system was inspired by a Bounty commercial. In the commercial, a father and son spill something on the floor. Before cleaning it, they analyze if they want to use three or four sheets to clean it up. Mom quickly comes in and cleans it with one. My system is a little different from theres because the more the better. When seeing some females you just want to "take care" of them all night long and that would demand three sheets. And if she a good,typical fuck that would require two sheets and one sheeter is needed if you just want to test the waters with a female. The legendary four sheeter should only be used if you are ready to get the girl preggo ASAP. I try not to jinx myself, so I don't even let those words come out my mouth. Well with that in mind, fellas and ladies jus don't make the screwface when I say some wild shit.

new new school.

"I wouldn't be mad if he (Chris Paul) won the MVP" - tone.

This years playoffs have been boring and entertaining at the same time. Kobe Bryants Lakers are top dogs again, teams like the Pistons and Celtics seem ready for a championship run and the damn two face commercials just keep popping up. But this post isn't about the playoffs, its about the emerging superstars who are coming to the forefront on a national stage to show why the NBA will be safe again for another ten years. The world already knows about LeBron James, I am a witness and so are you. But for the average joe blow newcomers are showing themselves to the world on the grandest stage. First, there is Chris Paul. The 23 year old NC native from Wake Forest who is on the brink of leading his New Orleans Hornets to the Conference Finals. Paul does it with supreme passion and poise. When I see Paul play I think of a mix between Isiah Thomas and John Stockton. He has the scoring ability and tenacity of Zeke but the general like command on the floor like Stockton. Paul finished second in MVP voting to the Darth Kobe, but Paul's time will come soon enough. Another bright star who's playoff dreams ended a few hours ago is Dwight Howard. Now the world caught a glimpse of his showmanship as he took home the Slam Dunk Title but still the average joe doesn't know about him. Living under Patrick Ewing's wing, Howard has blossomed ever since entering the league straight from high school. After dominating 20-20 performances in the first round, Howard's Magic will would shortly fizzle out as the Pistons took them down. The great thing about Howard is that he is so young (22) and so good already. With moves as quick as Olajuwon and already being named as the most athletic center ever, Howard must now show and prove. The knock on his game as of late has been his inability to have the killer instinct. You know the thing you know the thing you see in Kobe's eyes when its crunch time or when the team is in need of a basket. Well, Howard has yet to develop that. I believe with hard work and a more competitve edge, Howard could average 30-15-5 if he wanted to, but time will tell. With these two at the forefront and Durant and Oden just getting out of there shell, the NBA should be safe. Lets not forget about Rose and Beasley coming to the land of Men next season either.

welcome to the souf.

"you like this shit?" -lovetrain.

After black quarterbacks, the most scrutinized and talked about subject in the barbershop would have to be the evolution of the southern movement in hip hop. Heated debate surface as people against the southern movement believe their lyrics have no substance and are all beat driven records. This may be true in most cases, but I sincerely believe that the southern movement is hip hop, just a different sector. REAL hip hop consists of the Commons, Lupe Fiascos and Nas' that move more bootlegged units than anyone. The club music based hip hop that consists of the Unks, Soulja Boys and TPains all move there units through ringtones. Yes, there music may have kid-like lines and attract more girls to the dance floor than usual but hip hop is in need of something new and refreshing. Can you imagine going to the strip club and Big Booty Judy is dancing to "American Terrorist" or "One Mic"? NO! So the DJ will continue to play the dance oriented tunes, because it makes the club go off and its the best music to listen to when you are drunk. I guarantee if you have enough shots of vodka or tequila you WILL be yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuling by the end of the night. But seriously, the southern movement isn't a trend or bout to die down soon. And thats jus real talk.

the under twenty-three rule.

"man its TOO many joints out here" - thump.

One word that scares the shit out of any black man is marriage. The M Word. To us, it means we will never see another va-jay-jay ever again but our wife's. Its very complex, because most of us want to settle down and find that special someone and start that perfect family, but its the fear of having one woman. But fellas, no more worrying, I have found the solution. Due to excessive successful black women emerging through all walks of life as engineers, businesswomen and entrepreneurs (horray!), it seems like the black man has many many options. As expected many of my fellow "brothers" still want to live that thug lifestyle, but hey thats another blog anyway. So that results in a limited supply of young black men who are trying to better themselves. Now for those who are, the selection of females is endless so finding the right woman may be tough. I believe for any man wanting to have that white picket fence and four children with the two car garage they MUST sew their wild oats first. In doing so, every man under the age of 23, trying to better themself has the RIGHT to be a whore and venture out into EVERYTHING. Even though this sounds dangerous and crazy I think it may be worth it, because when its all said and done and your waiting at the end of that aisle and your bride is walking down patiently, you will thank me. I estimate for every guy that fits my criteria to every girl that fits my criteria, we are outnumbered to a 1:10 ratio. But please fellas to every rule there are standards. For one, use a condom. The second is to not get emotional attachment and if you feel emotional attachment from her you need to get out of there ASAP! The last is to actually get to know these females. Even though she let you fuck in a week, she might be wifey. She might have everything you want and you just don't know it yet. If you actually try to get to know these ladies half aren't bad, a few are worth your time and one might even be the ONE. Godspeed goons.

NOTE: Ladies if you live this lifestyle you ARE a whore. Plain and simple. And yes, double standards do exist.

"nigga have you seen the uncut Nelly video!" - marley.

In 2007, BET created a forum to talk about the state of hip hop. The panel included intellectuals like Eric Michael Dyson and Rev. Al Sharpton and rap artists like T.I. and Nelly. In heated debates talking about everything from music effecting kids to the language and subjects in songs, the forum seemed to be against hip hop. But one aspect that got shafted in the rear with no vaseline was the state of the hip hop honeys. The forum seemed to believe that most of these girls are individuals who do not respect themselves and just believe they are a piece of meat. But in there defense I am here. I love these women, from there high cheekbones to curvacious bods. These women saved many rappers and video directors careers. Some even lasted longer than most rappers. Now don't get me wrong these women sometimes do portray themselves to be bitches, hoes, sluts and such but wasn't Halle Berry taking backshots from Billy Bob Thornton? And she won an Oscar. To me its all acting and some people can't get around that factor. For years, I worshiped these woman, because as a young adolescent these females are our goddesses and mermaids of TV. In time you have seen the pretty face innocent video chick (Lauren London) to the straight stacked full rib rack bods (Buffy the Body) and all have captured our "minds" at a time. I really appreciate these women. They are more than meets the eye and I really believe they deserve more respect in the game. This post is for you ladies, all of you.

obama fresh.

"dog, obama is where its at" - flyyguyy

It seems to me that Barack Obama has brought a great stir into the presidential debate as of late, great! This isn't a blog about voting for Obama or even displaying his views. This blog is about how people are eating off of this man and not even sitting at the table. At first, I thought they were pretty cool, I cant lie. But it seems now, that each and every clothing company is manufacturing, producing and distributing Obama tees. In 2004, Puff created a juggernaut with the Vote or Die tees and now every company is following in his footsteps. Its just amazing to me how one man who some people don't even support are making his clothes and selling his campaign. And to the buyers of these tees I just want to know ask you are you a fashion icon or actually in faithful support of the Illinois Senator. Do you know his political standpoint or views on America, Iraq, health care and the middle class? I believe before you put on your favorite Obama tee, the least you can do is learn about him and his motives and not just to hop on the bandwagon.

NOTE: obama WILL be KING.

birth control & the young black female.

"man im jus praying for a period" - lovetrain

As a college student at a HBCU, there are many things yoiu can find yourself getting into that can't get yourself out of. For instance, I myself had to take a few accounting classes twice due to my inability to perform adequately in the classroom, but life goes on. In some peoples decision at any university sex, drugs and alcohol are the easiest escapes from the college stressors and pressures. But in high consumption of any of the three, may lead to ones addiction, injury or even death. But in sex, the worst case scenario, besides HIV, is pregnancy. I believe there is no way of getting around having sex in the college atmosphere. The whole, no-parenting-endless-freedom-too-much-free-time is just asking for someone to commit premarital intercourse. But what hurts me the most, is to see young black females with there head on straight and ready to rip the world into pieces get pregnant. It seems that the more you have sex with a person the more you feel comfortable with them, which may lead to not using a condom. Now, I know she can't help if a guy decides not to put on protection, but as a black female you must be ready for any and everything out here so I don't see why more black women are on birth control. If you are a young black woman and you KNOW you are sexually active why not get the shot, pill, patch, etc. There have been too many advancements in science to not want to protect yourself. I believe no one at this age is ready for a child financially, emotionally, physically and spiritually. I understand there are a few side effects like weight gain, mood swings and such but if I were a female i would be on birth control ASAP. Another weird factor is once getting preggo, females have to make the decision of to keep the child or abort it. No woman should be forced to make such a choice like that, so to avoid that all together, I suggest you (the female) to get on birth control. Everyone knows birth control can be a rough transition when first getting on it, but is it not worth it. I've seen too many go down the broken road of leaving there dreams or delaying them for a baby. In this day in time, the condoms seem to be getting thinner and the sex is becoming more demanding. Protect yourself and your future ladies, please. There is way too much at stake for you to be starting a family now.

SIDENOTE: Any female that has had a baby or is having a baby that is under 23 or having a child that is unexpected I praise you. You are stronger than you ever thought you were and you and your healthy baby is still here. This blog is not here to attack you, but to give light to the younger sisters of your generation to be aware and know whats going on. I am not trying to bash you or hate on you. I love you.

"if Gary Williams recruited in PG County, the Terps would have two rings" - anonymous

In recent years college basketball has been on the forefront of sports entertainment. From Florida's consecutive national championships to all four #1 seeds playing in the Final Four in this years past tourney, college basketball is at an all-time high. But if look far down off of 495, the Maryland Terrapins are suffering from another lack luster season. Even with Gist, Osby and Grieves the Terps still couldn't go dancing. I believe that in college basketball, the coaches should be accounted for coaching methods and recruitng methods. Which brings me to my subject of Gary Williams and his style. Over the past few years the metro area has seen some ridiculous talent fly through and above and out the area. This list includes freshmen phenom Michael Beasley from K St and last years freshmen sensation and this years NBA Rookie of the Year Kevin Durant, just to name a few. My question is why isn't Williams recruiting within his own territory. In the year, LSU shared a piece of the national championship in football, half the team was from Louisiana. I just don't see why Williams doesn't do the same. Through the years I can think back I can only recall ONE terp to get significant minutes and be from the area-Chris McCray. McCray came from Fairmont Heights and lit my alma mater (DuVal) up for 34 points in a playoff game in his senior season. McCray was part of the last decent and somewhat good Terp team with him, Caner-Medley, Gilchrist and such. But due to players leaving early, the team would go through a dry spell and die out to become mediocre in its present day. All I want is Williams to take a look at some of the hungry and raw talent that comes from these parts. I can not stand to see anymore talent from this area play in any other color than Terrapin Red.

Complete list..

F - Michael Beasley - DC - Kansas St.
F - Kevin Durant - PG - Texas
F - Jeff Green - PG - GTown
C - Roy Hibbert - Mo Co - GTown
G - Tywan Lawson - DC - UNC
G - Sam Young - PG - Pitt
G - Nolan Smith - PG - Duke

o well.

And by the way, I love my terps. They play hard and work hard. I appreciate any player to ever put on the Terrapin Red.

T E R P S!

"and i sport fly shit, I should win an SB" - k.hill

thru all of my addictions one that has fastened my life and ran with me forever is my love for kicks. Over the past year or so, i have dove into a new underground-nike SBs. Shoes created for skateboarding purposes have now grown to be a sneaker gods' bible. With its vibrant colorways and patterns the shoes are ALL the same but different in its own way.

Here are some that are out or soon to be out this coming summer..

who is this guy?

I am twenty something black college student addicted to the wrong things in life-sneakers,sports,women&music. I was born and raised in Gorgeous Prince George's County in Maryland and currently receiving a BS degree in accounting from NC A&T SU. Most of my close friends call me funny, clever, rude and crazy, but through it all I am just me. I believe I am just a nerd trapped into a cool guy's frame [lol]. I feel like I am about to bring a very informal style to the world of blogging and show some real imagery too. I am currently a server as well as a full-time student so I will tell some of the true stories of serving guests in the south. And to note, I am not a big typer so expect to see short stories and few extended paragraphs and lots of grammatical errors. This is my first time blogging so please be patient with me.

the start.

Hey, my name is Terry Mundell and over the past year or so I have debated on whether I would want to start or blog or not. But due to supreme boredom I said what the hell. In this blog you will find everything to music reviews to sneaker reports to sports analysis to an occasional porn drop. And on a more serious note I will discuss some of my ideologies and theories on the black community and culture. No I am no doctor, nor philosopher, but I think I do have a voice so this is why I am creating this blog. Some of the things I may say here you may find offensive, inappropriate or down right ignorant, but before judging me listen to what I have to say and my reason behind it. i really hope you become an avid viewer of the blog and comment on everything.

Enjoy your stay and welcome to ignorant nipple!
