Music Under New York

The MTA sponsors a contest each year for entertainers so they can perform in select New York City Transit Stations. Through my journeys today I came across two of these entities feeling the music and getting the crowd motivated. One was an older black woman with a voice that deserved to be along side folks [...]

Mirror Mirror on The Wall, Ugly is as Ugly Does

In a recent article in the New York Daily News GOP member John Spencer is quoted as calling Hillary Clinton Ugly. I’m not sure if you ever seen John Spencer but he should look in the mirror before he starts calling people ugly. He’s busy looking like he has a Vitamin E deficiency instead of [...]

Black Hair, Big Business: Who is really making the money?

In the Black community you’ll find many hair care product stores. Behind the counter you see Koreans. Why do Koreans own all the Black hair care stores? Because it is big business. It is a billion dollar industry and we get close to 1% of the cut. Why is this?

Don’t Let The Haircut Fool You

My home girl and I went to a restaurant after work. It wasn’t planned. The D train decided it wanted to F up the rest of my night by going on the F line. We’re both hungry, so we say why not get some eats. It’s been a minute since she and I have been [...]

Side Bar: Text Messaging (SMS)

Text Messaging (SMS) is a Godsend and I’m very appreciative. In a time when people are becoming annoying to talk to (myself included) it’s best to have text messaging.
With so much to do and so little time to do it don’t waist my time with some idle chit chat and some fake salutation. Let’s just [...]

The Homeless: Fixtures of the City

This particular day all the homeless [...]

Perception is Reality: Get Real

I had a conversation with someone the other day regarding a particular situation which I will not get into at this time. At the end of this conversation, which I won’t get into, she said to me “perception is reality.”
I thought to myself, “What the hell does that mean and what does it [...]

Who’s Your Baby Daddy?: Ghetto or White Trash?

When you have the American People wondering who your baby daddy is you would think you were watching Maury. The Maury Show is always good for having some unfortunate female bringing up four and five guys trying to figure out who her baby daddy is. Well, What about Anna Nicole Smith?
She has two [...]
