Don't Be Too Proud

In 2005, Hurricane Katrina became one of the most devastating natural disasters this country has ever experienced. It's damages ruined one of America's most vibrant cities, in New Orleans. People along the Gulf Coast lost homes, family members, jobs and worldly possessions, but none of them lost their pride. Some never evacuated, some came back after the storm cleared. The love and respect for a city with so much history and tradition was too much to let a hurricane force them out.

Now we're in hurricane season again. Hurricane Gustav is on course to slam into the Gulf Coast. Some have begun to evacuate already, while others are patiently waiting to see what happens. No one could predict the impact that Katrina would have in 2005, but here we are three years later with ample time for preparation. Everyone saw the government's reaction. Everyone knows how minimal the relief efforts were. Everyone knows that the only people we can depend on is ourselves. Don't let your pride make you foolish enough to stick around.

To all my people in New Orleans, please take heed to the early warnings and evacuate the city. At best, the damages will be small and you'll have a home to return to, but even in a worst case scenario, you'll have given yourself a chance at survival. Be safe, Be aware, Be out!

Robin Thicke is "Something Else"

After 2006's The Evolution Of Robin Thicke, which secured Robin as a force in the soul music genre, Thicke returns with "Something Else", in stores and online September 30th. Thicke describes this album as an ode to the Michael Jackson music of the past. Thicke shares, “Michael is the epitome of celebration, and the core of this album has that: It’s celebratory, healing, loving music.”

I personally have been a Thicke supporter since the first album, "A Beautiful World". I hope that the new album infuses some of the sounds of the first album, which was an electro, funk, soul fusion piece. "The Evolution..." was a solid album, but I would love to see him get back to the bravery of his first record. The tracklisting for "Something Else" is posted below, as well as Robin's new video for "Magic".


1. “You’re My Baby”
2. “Side Step”
3. “Magic”
4. “Ms. Harmony”
5. “Dreamworld”
6. “Lay Down”
7. “Loverman”
8. “Hard On My Love”
9. “Sweetest Love”
10. “Round Two”
11. “Something Else”
12. “Shadow Of Doubt”
13. “Stranger”
14. “Cry No More”

Random Question of the Day:

Why do girls like to get super glammed up and look like dime pieces, but get a boyfriend who can't dress worth a damn?

Not everybody does this, but rarely do you see a fresh COUPLE. Folks be looking like they're going to two different places. Ladies, are you afraid if a man has fashion sense, that he's stealing your spotlight? Or is it that you really care about what's on the inside? Just curious...

Hey Ladies...

John McCain is trying desperately to get the female vote, as he announced today that his running mate will be Alaska Gov., Sarah Palin. This is a shocker in the world of politics, especially for republicans. Palin becomes the first female to serve on a GOP presidential ticket, just two years after she was elected the first female governor of Alaska.

Personally, I think if McCain was going to get a female running mate he would have been good with Condoleeza Rice. She's vicious, she's experienced and she's respected. However, getting a woman was probably a stretch for McCain anyway, so I'm sure getting a black woman might have sent the old candidate into cardiac arrest.

No Disrespect But...

I know people who were in college before I was, and they haven't left yet. Unless you're in a graduate program, or at your Alma mater's homecoming, then you need to be as far removed from your school as possible!! No disrespect to anyone, but being in school longer than five years (I'll even give you a few summer classes), is just lazy. I skipped classes, changed majors, had the lowest G.P.A. ever in the history of grades and was a bad semester away from getting kicked out of school. However, I got my life together, repeated some credits, went to summer school, picked up a minor, focused and got out in FOUR years, so miss me with the excuses.

College is a phase, and like most other phases in life it is meant to pass. Don't be the graduate who still hangs out at the school, because the people you're going up there to see are secretly clowning you and saying you don't have a life. You can't be afraid to grow up, because that's the one thing in life that is going to happen regardless of how much you fight it. Appreciate your youth but don't revel in it so much so that you forget to embrace your growth.

Let's stop spending all the federal aid, grants, scholarship money and loans that we can add up. Let's stop having our parents spend their retirement money on tuition. Let's stop wasting gas driving back and forth between home and our former school. Make your folks proud and graduate. After graduation, make yourself proud and start your life. The world changes every day, and you'll only look foolish and delusional trying to avoid it.

Fat Joe Goes Hard On Daddy Yankee

Earlier this week CNN posted video of Daddy Yankee publicly expressing his support of John McCain for President. Yankee cited McCain's "support of the Hispanic community" as his decision to rally behind the Senator. Well, another hispanic hip-hop star has some choice words for Daddy Yankee's endorsement. Rapper Fat Joe was quoted calling Yankee a "sellout" in an exclusive interview with MTV News. Joe went on to say, "The reason why I called him a sellout is because I feel he did that for a [publicity] look, rather than the issues that are affecting his people that look up to him. How could you want John McCain in office when George Bush and the Republicans already have half a million people losing their homes in foreclosure? We're fighting an unjust war. It's the Latinos and black kids up in the frontlines, fighting that war. ... We over here trying to take the troops out of Iraq and bring peace. This guy immediately wants war. If not with Iraq or Afghanistan, he'll start a new one with Iran. I feel real disgusted that Daddy Yankee would do that. Either he did that for a look, or he's just not educated on politics."

I agree 100%. When I saw the video of Yankee supporting McCain during a visit to a Phoenix school, I was in disbelief. Does Daddy Yankee really think Republican politics got him to where he is today? It is the ideals of Democrats that have inspired and empowered young minorities to be able to live the dreams that our ancestors could not. In the words of Fat Joe,
"If he believes John McCain is the better candidate for the Latinos, we could sit down. Even if he wants to get into a debate, we can debate anywhere — New York, Puerto Rico."

Wise Up Daddy Yankee.

First Jermaine Dupri launched the Procter & Gamble sponsored Tag Records, an exclusive alignment with Island Def Jam Records, to revolutionize how new artists are marketed and promoted. Well, Mountain Dew has decided to get in on the marketing scheme of branding through the universal medium of music. Ad Age reports that Mountain Dew is launching an imprint, Green Label Sound, dedicated to soley delivering digital singles. How dope is that?

The label enters in partnership agreements with budding artists (the first of which is the midwest hipster rap duo, The Cool Kids) to connect them with a marketing reach that they would never be able to achieve through a traditional recording agreement. In addition, the singles will be exclusives that are free to the public, effectively serving as a 100% promotional push.

Wrap Up New York (and everyone else)!!

According to CNN, the number of people with HIV in New York City is nearly three times the national rate. The national rate is 23 out of every 100,000 people have the HIV virus, however in New York, 72 out of every 100,000 people are infected. That's scary for New Yorkers, and should be a red flag for other cities. Go get tested, and protect yourself.

Hillary Supporters Needed:

Editors Note: Mike touched on this in his previous post, but after reading Hillary Clinton's DNC speech and seeing this video clip, I felt compelled to reiterate in my own words.

Meet Texas delegate Anne Price Mills. She is a Hillary Clinton supporter, and she, like other Clinton supporters, has an imperative choice to make. She has to decide whether her alliance and loyalty to Hillary Clinton is stronger than her alliance to her nation. In her speech, Hillary said, "...the time is now to unite as a single party with a single purpose. We are on the same team, and none of us can sit on the sidelines." The fact that Price Mills and others like her are even considering sitting this election out, scares me for the possibility it opens up.

To think that not voting for either Sen. McCain or Sen. Obama is somehow an appropriate display of allegiance to Sen. Clinton, is both politically inept, and hazardous to every other citizen in this country. In my opinion, anyone who sits at home on election day might as well go out and cast a vote for John McCain. Barack will not win this election if it's going to be a fight against the republican party and a bitter group of unforgiving democrats.

The days of Barack vs. Hillary are over. Just because Clinton isn't his running mate, doesn't mean that they aren't still fighting for the same ideals and the same people. Not voting for Obama because your initial candidate lost, is just an inverted way of increasing McCain's chances of winning. In an election of this magnitude, Anne Price Mills and other Clinton supporters need to decide whether Hillary not getting this years nomination is worth America not getting a chance to restore the greatness it lost over the past eight years.

DNC Update: Hillary Bows Out Graciously

Former Presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton made a prolific showing at the 2008 Democratic National Convention tonight. Clinton made it painfully clear that she wants her supporters to direct their efforts and votes to the Barack Obama campaign. She poised the question of whether her supporters were rallying simply behind her or behind the initiatives and core values of Democrats everywhere. She referenced Obama more than 10 times in her speech and spoke to the true issues of this election (healthcare, jobs, education, and green initiatives). I commend Hillary on a job well done and to be honest, I think that this speech has placed her in the same place that Barack stood four years ago, that of unification and visionary. So, who knows what Hillary may be able to accomplish four years from now.

Sidenote: If I hear one more FOOL say that they are such a staunch supporter of Hillary that they can't bring themselves to vote for Barack - I will literally throw up. Realize that this election is bigger than the candidates. This is about a sway of power and a rededication to american ideals. Please WAKE UP.

iPhone or iGlitch ???

So, I am in the market for a new cell phone. I have been a hostage of the monthly circus that calls itself Sprint Nextel for the past six years due to my inability to resist having the latest phone available. Well, for the past year or so I have not upgraded my cellular and now I am in the position to be freed from my bondage - i mean contract, LoL. So when thinking about what phone/service provider I should transition to, I realized that I have a broken iPod that haunts me daily and in an effort to kill the proverbial two birds with one stone, I came to the determination that I will be getting an iPhone.

Well, today Businessweek.com reports that many iPhone users are quite unhappy with the service of their iPhone. Citing a high percentage of dropped calls, inability to access the highly publicized 3G network and inoperative mobile applications, iPhone users are not happy at all, sparking rumors of a potential class action suit against Apple. Sources say Apple is attributing the glitches to a chip inside the cell phone. The sources add that Apple plans to cure the problems through a software upgrade.

Ain't this 'bout a ... Right when I finally decided I could deal with the iPhone not having a Qwerty keyboard and the notion of having to text on a touch screen - Apple had to get caught up in a scandal !!! As much as I feel I should steer clear of all this glitch sh*t, I really need a new iPod and since I am in the market for a cell phone too, I will still be getting an iPhone. The only good thing is my contract isn't up until next month, so Steve Jobs better have all this confusion worked out by then. Hope this doesn't come back to haunt me!

Don't Want Your Kids? Move to Nebraska!!

The new "safe haven" law in Nebraska has just opened up a whole new level of bad parenting. The law permits parents to abandon their children at hospitals, no questions asked, up until the child is 19 YEARS OLD!! That means that if a parent is tired of their baby crying, sick of arguing with their hormonal teenager, or even frustrated from raising a child with a disability, they can drop them off at the spital (hospital) and pull off.

The intention of the law was to give parents another option of what to do with their child before problems turn into an abusive situation. However, the law has several flaws. Some other states have "safe haven" laws, but they are usually for newborns whose parent's decided they couldn't raise them. Nebraska makes it so even a 19 year old still at home with his parents can get taken right to Sinai Grace or Emory Hospital and left in the waiting room. Also, the Nebraska law does not specify who is allowed to surrender custody of the child. So if you're pissing off your babysitter, she can drop you off at the spital too.

What's Next: WiTricity

So for all the Tech-heads out there, CNN is reporting that a new revolutionary technology is on the way that could change the way we use computers and even the way that we live. Through a research study conducted by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Intel Corporation, a dynamic new way of wirelessly transmitting energy has been discovered and is being coined, WiTricity. Imagine being able to charge your computer without plugging it up into a electrical socket ?!? More importantly, there is talk that this technology could wirelessly support pacemakers and artificial hearts.

This process is possible through the use of transmitters and receivers that can wirelessly conduct power. Scientists on the project imagine homes of the future having these transmitters built in to the walls in each room, making electrical sockets a thing of the past. Research is still being conducted and Intel has just recently become involved. The key now is to determine how to limit the amount of energy that goes into a device and also the length that the charging source can be from a transmitter and still work efficiently.

Sounds like the Jetsons to me! Can't wait for the flying car though, because I know it is coming sooner than we think! LOL

What Would Martin Do?

The King children are not making their parents proud at all. Just a month after Martin Luther King III and Bernice King sued their brother Dexter, he has filed a lawsuit against the two of them. Dexter is the chairman of the King Center for Nonviolent Change, which Coretta Scott King founded. In his suit, he accuses Bernice and Martin III of establishing foundations that are directly competing with The King Center.

He also claims that the two of them used The King Center with no authorization so they could meet with former Presidential hopeful, John Edwards back in January.

They are truly ruining a legacy, and acting childish. This is sad.

Meet Barack's New Vice President: Sen. Joe Biden

According to NBC news sources, Delaware Sen., Joe Biden, has been selected as Barack Obama's running mate for the 2008 Presidential Election. There had been speculations that Obama would run with Sen. Hillary Clinton, but that theory was mainly based off people thinking he needed Clinton as VP to get the vote of her supporters. Joe Biden on the other hand, brings a stellar foreign policy background to Obama's ticket, and over two decades worth of experience in his seat with the Senate

The Gas Pump Pause

We all are fed up with the gas pump. Well, some Americans aren't taking it anymore. CNN reports that individuals are taking fuel matters into their own hands and converting their vehicles to elecctric! Two area Atlanta drivers were profiled for making the expensive ($12,000) transition to electric. Larry Horsley justified the conversion by stating, "If I can keep a dollar from going overseas, I'll spend two dollars." In terms of money kept in his pocket, Horsley has seen a savings of $700 over the four months since transforming his car. The process is acheived by ditching the gas-guzzling engines we all rely on and replacing them with zero-emission electric motors.

I think the idea of conversion is novel. Electric cars are better for the environment, but the reality is the process of conversion is crazy expensive and the parts and service are hard to secure.

All King Crusaders Stand Up!

Thanks to some strong community support, the Martin Luther King High School band was able to raise nearly half a millie to fund a trip to Beijing for the Olympics. The band was THE ONLY American high school band in China to perform during fringe events that surround the Olympics.

There performance was scheduled to be at the Great Wall of China, but from the second they arrived, they began to gather a large audience. As soon as they started warming up, waves of people began swarming and surrounding the area. So many people in fact, that the Chinese police called off the performance, citing a security threat from the large crowd.


All isn't lost though. They will play in a cultural exchange concert on Saturday and they are just enjoying being in a place so far from home. Band member Deshawn Smith said, "Even though we didn't really get to climb up the Great Wall, there's a lot of people in the world who can't say they've been even close to it. So I was very grateful and appreciative of that moment."

Do You Trust The Spray-On Condom???

A German sexual-health educator has created a spray-on condom!! That's right, a condom that you spray on. The desire to create such a product, came from him having a problem finding condoms that fit him properly. He designed a plastic tube that sprays liquid latex from all sides, kind of like the water jets at a car wash. The idea behind it is that you get the perfect fit every time, which makes the condom safer, more effective and gives it a natural feel.

The only set back has been that the liquid latex takes too long to dry. As of now it takes three minutes, thus ruining the entire mood! The condoms won't go on the market until the designer can get the drying time down to 5-10 seconds. To learn more click here

Question: Would you try the spray-on condom??
