Moochin’ Off the Government. Gimme that Cheese!
Last week, I wrote a post for Single Black Male about borrowing money from a significant other and the dynamics that play into it (e.g., Pride). One of the points I made was that a lot of (Black) people would rather struggle and work two jobs than ask their significant other—or somebody else of importance [...]
The Truth In Advertising, Pt. 2
With the exception of the Olson twins, Americans love to eat. Even amongst the healthiest of us, I’m sure there’s one little guilty pleasure out there that you’d fight your mama over for the last piece/portion/serving. Personally, I’ll eat just about anything. Yes, that too. But the older I get the harder I find it [...]
I’m Too Old for This…
A couple weekends ago I made a trip to NYC, the city that causes me stress each and every time that I go. Granted, I was headed down there for a mix of business and pleasure so it wasn’t too bad. I got in on Friday night at 11pm and by 1230am I was motivatin’ [...]

Live Fast, Die Young
It’s not just a line in a rap song, it’s a motto that is embodied by Black, White, Asian and Hispanic kids alike. With everyone from Nas to The Clipse to Kanye saying it, as well as deviations of that line, who would even think about getting older? Couple that with the real depictions of [...]
Passions…
**This post is not about the soap opera. Sorry.** As I stood in a cramped corner of a subway car holding my breath to avoid the diversity of farts and the smell of chinese food that was permeating the air, I started reflecting on the state of my existence…again. As if the 8 to 6 [...]
