Back in gap I was an ass-hat when it came to dealing with ladies. Not all the time and not with every situation, but I had the ability to be a full on jerk! But the one thing I could always fall back on was that, for the most part, I told the truth. I …

One of the things I have tried to live by consistently is that “you should never worry about or count another man’s money.” I don’t question any man’s idea of what he wants to do with his money because it is his. I may not understand what that man does with his money but I …

As an avid sports fan, I try to be compassionate to professional athletes being people just like me…but then they do stuff that regular people like me don’t do and ruin my entire perception. While this blog may be about a pro athlete, everybody can relate to the ridiculous that I’m about to speak on. …
Timelines and expectations drive our culture. You must do x, y, and z by the time you are this age or you are not considered successful. You know what I’m talking about to, so don’t front! We all have things we expect to accomplish by a certain time and when it doesn’t happen, we have a …
I want to take my readers back today. Who remembers Field Day? The shuttle run, tug-o-war, sack races, egg races, and many more.

Thirsty. Creep. Nice Guy. All words use to describe, or rather insult, men who try to show any attention to the legions of single women who keep wondering why they can’t find or keep a man. Usually I say something like, “That’s not a diss,” to clear up any confusion that any woman reading this …
Jason Collins is gay!!! As the first openly homosexual male in one of Amurica’s major sports, he is also a hero.?

Recently, I had a night out with the fellas. Just some time to kick it and catch up. It had been a while since I was out running the streets and it showed. Around 11:45pm, the sleepy monster kicked in and sat on my neck!! Out of nowhere, one of my boys swooped in and …

In the midst of all the “equality” talk regarding Gay & Lesbian rights, the art of cuddling was brought to my attention. It also didn’t help that cooler winds have rolled in for a few days. Oh well. So that made me think about why men don’t like to cuddle…even though I know plenty do …

Okay, I admit it!! I watched it. I watched The Life Lessons Class with Harpo and Dr. Chapman, the creator of the 5 love languages. And I liked it!! I think it has some validity and the ability to really help people. I agree that most folks, including myself, need help communicating with their boo-thang. For …

A bunch of kids in Sand Diego got suspended the last week of their senior year of high school. That’s not too unheard of because senioritis is a beast.
