The New Dawn---Repost!

My friends I have come to bear witness to a less verbalized change in the system of dating. The tides have turned! I'm going to take you on my own personal time warp.

When I was a teenager in the 80's, I was about 6'1 and very slender. Dark brown skin, big nose, and kinda shy. That definitely was not the formula to get girls to notice me other than being able to play basketball well and run fast on the track. Yet the physical appeal for the majority of the women was quite different than how I looked in my teenage years. The light complexion, grey or green eyes and wavy/perm looking hair was "in" then. Though I was a jock, I was still missing some of the attributes that attracted girls. Now don't get me wrong, not all of the young ladies were shallow like that and I was veryyyyy thankful for the girls that like the brown skin, average joe's like me.

I found that I became a "good friend" or "brother" type figure to the girls that I had crushes on! Looking back...that was masterfully done! But at the time, I was taking a beating.

In the 80's, there were lots of movies where the nice guy was the friend who watched the beautiful female friend that he loved get played by dudes over and over again, to eventually ended up with the girl. WRONG!!!!!! Hollywood had me set up for failure, Jack!! That shit never happened like that in my life..yet, it made for a happily ever after romance in theory. Even shows like "Beauty and the beast" were popular and promoted that "boy I wish I could be with her" kind of thinking.

Well guess what...LOL..the joke is on the pretty boys now!! You know the ones..the ones that thought that they could skate through life because they were attractive and didn't maximize their opportunities in education or talents in athletics. I'm not hating..just keeping it real! If not for those dudes, the nice guys like me wouldn't be the "in" thing right now. I watched many hearts get broken, over and over again because women coveted that stereotype. Musicians that couldn't sing worth sh*t got over because of their "look"..Al B. Sure is top on a lot of my female friends list..LOL

It was a double edged sword to be a kid in the 80's, compared to now as a grown man. I endured quite a bit of heckling in my teen years to come back and hook up with
the prom queens down the road...(while they still looked good)!!! The tables have turned...now in the favor of the nice guys, good friends and the "oh,girl please..that's just______". By the way, I hated that shit and I know I'm not alone!!!!!!

This time around, the sincere nice guys that treat a woman with dignity, respect and become great friends, don't have to settle for being"oh, he's just a friend". We have a shot because now women think the "pretty boy's" are players because of previous experiences and even worse than that "on the down low".

Inspired to revisit the thought much by recent blogs by Bloopty Bloop's Oct 23rd post..thanks ya'll

My public service announcement!

Lost Sibling Reunion Day!

We interrupt the regularly scheduled Pot Luck Friday for this urgent news bulletin. No efforts have been spared in making dreams come true. Our investigations have uncovered yet more joyous siblings that were brought together by sheer chance.

Our mission statement is all about the family and we will never give up on helping the world.

I know that some of us have heard that we have a twin somewhere in the world. We may never get to see the person that has striking resemblance to our facial features. So we will try to dedicate various posts to bring loved ones together and reunite siblings that otherwise may not have ever had a chance to bond.

This is the philanthropic side of D.C. I know it's hard to believe but I must help save the world one set of siblings at a time.

So for the second installment I give you:

Simply shocking isn't it? Amazingly they both wear the same color doo rag.

andddddddd as a bonus sibling reunion.....

The smile only solidifies the joy of siblings reunited.

Thank you all for helping to bring these lost loved ones together. Since the initial meeting, they have had an opportunity to share many stories of growing up, thus another success story!

It is also rumored that "grem" as he is affectionately called by flav may have doubled during sex scenes with brigitte nielson and New york for taping FLavor of Love and the Surreal Life.


Stay tuned for more reunions!

Sometimes ya gotta say...WTF!!!

Monday Musings..the Tuesday edition.

For those of you that don't know me. Almost all of you...LOL! I have to share a piece of information that may mean nothing to you, yet it is the root of much agony for me.

I think most people have something that they consider a real pet peeve. I am going to share one of my biggest ones with you. It started a few years ago in Ohio. A fashion trend that irritated me to no end.

Some person, perhaps a teenager started wearing pajama pants out in public as regular attire. At first it was a few kids that I spotted, then it erupted into a city of young people that started coming out of the house...fresh out of bed and sporting their pajamas. In the store, walking down the street, at the bus stop, at the gas station and anywhere else in public view.

This is how they get down now.

Luckily for my son, he hasn't tried any sh*t like that or I would promptly blacken his eyeball. I just can't believe that there is a generation of young people that have absolutely no regard for public image. Being unkempt is a style now?! HUH?

Now don't get me wrong, I'm all for fashion trends and all but, c'mon now...Frickin pajamas. PLEASEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

I'm stepping down from my soapbox now.

Agree or not, I hate seeing people dressed like this...on purpose. What y'all think?

This has been my Public Service Announcement!

Picnic with a view!!!

Party of six, please.

Wow...it was an amazing picnic at a park on the beach. We packed up the cooler and brought some wood and meat for the grill. Sunny with clear skies accompanied a gentle breeze with temperatures in the mid 70's. The food was straight up "delish". The view was spectacular and these guys got a chance to feel like they were back on the west coast. It was mad cool!



I might need more practice in getting 4 dogs to be still so I could take their picture. LOL!

Have a great Monday!

Guess Who? Presidential Candidate Edition volume 1

In the age of creative expression and photo shopping skills, it is very easy to generate a "different" look to any individual. I came across an email and had to share it with everyone.

Being a Poli-Sci major and a person that also loves a good laugh or two, let's be entertained with this game. Let's see who can name the individuals in drag.

smuckers anyone?

60's tv star?

"white chicks" part 2?

Grandma next door?

fashion designer mogul?

80's punk rock duo?

Good Luck, fam.

Pot Luck Friday...Part XXIV

Dis shole duz look good!

This forum is officially a smash hit. I am excited to present once again POT LUCK FRIDAY.

What I would like to do is get some feed back from some non blogging readers or some bloggers that don't have the time to blog right now. An open forum, if you will. Anything and everything in love, life, the world(personal or global), or whatever.

There is no topic off limits! I know that relationship posts are common but be more specific. What element of the relationships? Finding one, keeping one, how to get out of one..all are up for discussion and friendly debate.

I am an information junkie! Garbage in--garbage out! But, I still like to process information. So, I'd like to try to start a day where the readers are in control of every single question, we take the comment that is posted right before you, answer their comment question, then post your own question for the next person. We can discuss it in a civil manner. If it goes well, then it could be really fun. I must exercise more moderation on the personal topics comments. I got a few emails from some participants and I must agree that some of the comments were hurtful and should be handled off line...privately. Let's have fun and keep it relatively clean...please---thank you.

Have a fantastic weekend and let's come up with some great questions to kick around the campfire!

So without further delay.....who is up for the challenge, part 24?

Sometimes ya gotta say...WTF!!!

Keeping in line with the "theme days" so that I don't drain all of my reserve tank dry from working on book projects, recruiting, and blogging, there shall be another instituted theme day. Today and henceforth Wednesdays shall be named...WTF WEDNESDAY!!!!!

Prime example...WTF was Sen Larry Craig lying about his homosexual rendezvous in the Minnesota Airport during his television interview last night? Please!!!!

Have fun and keep it as clean as possible, fam.

Have a fantastic day!

A movie night to remember...

I love watching movies so when we got an invite to go to a screening of Cleveland Native Halle Berry's new film with Cortney and Miss Vickie, I was down like four flats on a dump truck.

Unfortunately, we got to the private screen too late to get in. It was a let down but we were able to get into another movie that was jussssssst starting...better yet...for free!

So Now we get to see...

of course with Jamie Foxx and Jennifer Garner. It was getting good too until...




The film started melting. We couldn't believe what we were seeing. It looked so strange like right out of a sitcom or maybe we were being "punked". It was a true WTF Moment in History!!

With all the advancements in technology, it wasn't being shown on a
digital film projector

Oh Noooooo...we get the


Ol' School Reel.

Can you believe the luck of the night?...Geez!

Drop by The Lo Zone for her perspective.

Here's a prime example of a WTF moment. WTF does the candy that I fell in love with 30 years ago still make me remember how good it was when i was a kid? Especially at the movies...I'm talking about my(drum roll please)



Have fun and keep it as clean as possible, fam.

Have a fantastic day!

the test results are in..(dramatic pause)--Repost

I was at home recently during the day and happened to catch a Maury Povich episode. This episode had a woman come to show and air all her dirty laundry. She had 13 different men tested to be the father of her child. 13 were not!
I was like "wtf"!!! 13 different dudes for one baby. That was really "special" to me. It was whack how the dude had a short video clip blasting her and her promiscuity. I was really tripping like...damn what city does she live in and did they provide AIDS testing too.

So anywho(man i sound like AB).........dude starts out about how he has a woman and he's in love....never hooked up with her and "she's a f*****g liar and hoe, Maury!" They show the picture of the baby and the crowd goes awwww and starts booing this guy. I can't front, normally I don't watch this crap but it was kinda entertaining for a minute. Dude brings his woman onto the stage and she acts like she wants to fight the accusing mother whom of course is calling him a liar and saying "watch mothfu****...you gon take care of your responsibility"....So I sit up a lil closer and Maury says"the results are in.....We will be right back after this quick commercial break" I'm like..damn this is fu***d up...I gotta wait too.

Commercial goes off and the envelope is opened and Maury says" You are NOT the father...." mannnnnn this girl goes running off the stage.....yelling , fallin all on the floor and crying...Maury goes after her and comforts her telling her that he wont stop till they find the baby daddy! I got the main idea though....... Just keep giving them names up !!!!!

Here's the only thing I want to tell the many, many women that bring all these dudes to tv and expose themselves on national televison for the amuse3ment of the viewers.....USE RUBBERS!!! DAMN

And to the Fellas....USE RUBBERS!!! PLUS...Stop making your next door neighbor the victim of your quest to break Wilt Chamberlin's record of 20,000 women.

Y'all are playin yourselves because your misery is entertainment for the masses.

This has been my Public Service Announcment!

this is an outrage!---repost.

well...i just happened across a link that had me about to fuggin lose my mind featuring our favorite cartoon rabbit character...Bugs.

Enjoy the lessons that you get from watching this cartoon.



and if that wasn't enough for ya...then how about my favorite viewing pleasure. An obvious person of another persuasion, in "costume"...

is it me? or is there something really wrong with what happened in these images? I wonder if ole boy even tried to do the "soft shoe".

Now I know that these were made in the 50's or so, but c'mon now. Didn't they have any common sense at all? You let me know...

This has been my Public Service Announcment!

Monday Musings..part VIII

Ok, now I feel really bad. I became the bad guy for a moment and did a huge injustice to my fellow black man. Well, how did you do that, DC? You don't have to twist my arm to tell it.(deep sigh)

ok...maybe a month and a half ago I was dealing with a next door neighbor's kid that was throwing water ballons over in our yard when the dogs were outside, riding her little scooter through our grass and coming into our gated yard without permission. And if that wasn't enough, her mother, with whom we never even exchanged names, was often leaving her bedroom window open...which of course opened into our driveway. Apparently she was a loud moaner, because everyone in our home heard her getting "done" on more than a few occasions.

She left suddenly and a new neighbor moved in. They knew each other and the transition took less than a week. This time, it was a guy with his girlfriend and her 4 yr old son. I was like "oh boy, here we go again". He moved in with pimped out vehicles(like in the tv show), braids and a lot of friends that rolled up on motorcycles and other pimped out cars whilst pumping loud sounds at night.

Soon though, the cars stopped coming over and the music hardly ever got loud. We spoke and exchanged names. In reality, this dude has been an extremely good neighbor. I needed a jack and 4-way for my tire one day. He was right there, even offered to help me to the work. He closed my gate when I left it open one day. He is very polite and kind to my family and is genuinely a cool dude. I haven't ever experienced the over the fence/talk neighbor before. It's pretty nice.

I misjudged him because of his looks and what he drives.

I'm guilty. I didn't know that I had a prejudiced bone in my body until now. Who knew? I hope this true story prevents you from doing the same to someone else.

This has been my Public Service Announcement.

And so it begins....

Now I can't front and say that I don't have Limewire my desktop. I'd have to say that this hollow victory is the first step in the major bullying tactics. Frankly, this is some BS!!

What do you think, fam? Is 24 songs worth $220,000?

Lost Sibling Reunion Day!

I know that some of us have heard that we have a twin somewhere in the world. We may never get to see the person that has striking resemblance to our facial features. So we will try to dedicate various posts to bring loved ones together and reunite siblings that otherwise may not have ever had a chance to bond.

This is the philanthropic side of D.C. I know it's hard to believe but I must help save the world one set of siblings at a time.

So for the first installment I give you:

Martian Leader

and

Phil Spector

As you can see, both siblings are in court in their respective photos. Go figure!

We will continue to do our part and if you know of any lost siblings, feel free to let us know so we can contact them for the reunion process to begin.

We thank you for your support of our efforts.

This has been our Public Service Announcement.

SHR/P.S.A. Thursday!

I love youtube!!! I am going to take a page from some of my newfound blog family members today! I'm going to give you some major nostalgia today!!

I wish that the children of the new millenium could have experienced some of the educational shows that I saw on Saturday mornings. Well, since they didn't have them now..we can bring it to them via Youtube!



This video is for everyone...

WARNING: YOU WILL BE SINGING THIS FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS

Here's a prime example of a WTF moment in THIS SPECIAL STORY about how LeBron James was preparing to host the SNL season opener. WTF(why) was he so nervous??!

Have fun and keep it as clean as possible, fam.

Have a fantastic day!

Who's the masta?...is it in you?...repost

Ok, so I borrowed a couple of cliches and strung them together...LOL!!!

I certainly didn't think of myself as the Master but when I watched this movie as a kid---I got extra hyped up. I remember being in my martial arts instructors house asking him if he thought any of those moves were real and he said, "yeah, they're real...real Hollywood." I knew what he meant, but I wanted to think he was wrong so I learned this movie's moves so I could be the next martial arts movie star. It didn't work and I could only do some of them.

In case you forgot what the last scene was like, check it out right here.


What movie did you know all the words and the body movements to? This was but one of mine. What's yours?

Enjoy the clip and the trip down memory lane for the people in my age group. Smile!

Happy Tuesday!!
