Resolutions Schmesolutions

how many people make a resolution each year? How many of those same people break that resolution within the first month? I personally never make a new year’s resolution. I don’t see the need. for some people this is a way of setting goals, but oftentimes these goals are either too broad or too unrealistic [...]

Filthy Rags To Riches by Reggie Legend

Filthy Rags To Riches by Reggie Legend

We’ve all heard the saying – often uttered out of a sense of humility and Biblical scripture:  “Well, we’re all just filthy rags!”  Well what if it could be revealed scripturally that this mindset is wrong?  I’ll not delay the revelation of scripture until the end of this entry; rather, I’ll just quote it directly [...]

Are Interracial Relationships Still Taboo? By Bengemin Grehe

Are Interracial Relationships Still Taboo? By Bengemin Grehe

If they aren’t, then why even ask the question?  Clearly some degree of taboo has to exist for situations occurring like the one in Mississippi right now.  They’ve never been taboo to everybody everywhere, and so I suppose the issue is subjective to the relative parties and their immediate environment.  But racism still exists and so long as [...]

List #7 Emotional Hangover

List #7 Emotional Hangover Today is a day to sit outside and watch the sun play in the leaves.

Buying Protection

So the above video is just made because I have a camera that I never use so I need to do something about that! Anyway, here’s my story;   I stopped by CVS to pick up a few things and this guy in front of me was buying a bunch of stuff.  I noticed that [...]

 

Are you sabotaging your success?

I read an article a while back that presented a very unsettling theory. It stated that many people don’t achieve success because of self sabotage. At first, I couldn’t believe it.

Track of the Day: Rock The Boat (Aaliyah)

Aww…Aaliyah. I miss her music so much. “Rock The Boat” was the single released from Aaliyah’s third and final album; self titled Aaliyah. This video finished filming only hours before the plane crash that caused her tragic death. The music video was premiered on BET’s Access Granted; it became the most viewed and highest rated [...]

 

Reputation = Pass… Integrity = Fail

I didn’t get involved in the whole Tiger Woods thing because I didn’t consider it any of my business.  I don’t put celebrities/athletes on a pedestal because they are human and make mistakes.  I don’t want to contribute to the elevation of their status as role models because they are destined to struggle, stumble and fail just [...]
