Get Yur Freak On


Who says the only things Canadians know are hockey and saying “Eh”! A Canadian court has made it perfectly legal for people to have group sex. Personally, I don’t see what all the fuss was about to begin with. Hell, if you like the group thing, just find some willing partners and go to your house or a hotel! I see that some Canadians prefer to go to special clubs for swingers and just get it on gang-bang style! Hey, Will and Jada admitted to being swingers, so I guess it’s not just Canadians! All I got to say, is you do you boo!

Freaky Canadians

Good thing Canada is right across the bridge! Okay, so I may not be going anytime soon, but the option is there!!
Freaky Canadians, ya gotta love'em
Until Next time

No more
walking paths of secrecy
Til it eats at me
And truth be told,
it’s not really the guilt
It’s more of a sense of decline
From the lies
that were built
And although,
I belong to no one now
I can only see negativity
coming somehow
So in order to hold my head high,
and become what I must
I have to exit stage left,
before scenes are crushed
Too many times have water
stained my cheek
Only to become repetitive
from behaving so weak
Momentary stupidity
translates to simple foolishness
Won’t claim ignorance
cuz I have had true awareness
So secrets
Be revealed
Or die as most choose to
Rendezvous,
exit stage right
and end as all plays do

Women, give a brother a chance!


Okay, as a man it becomes kind of difficult to judge what a woman really wants or expects from a man! Especially when trying to pursue a relationship. For example, if a man acts on the impulse to pay for dinner during an initial date, some women tend to take this as offensive. The thinking behind this reaction is that women feel that they are independent enough to pay for their own meal. In reality, all the man is attempting to be is a gentleman, as taught by his mother. Women say they no longer have the desire to be treated as though they are the lesser gender! While I agree with this wholeheartedly, and men should treat woman as equals, it's just some things that men should be allowed to do without women making them feel as though they are doing something wrong. If a man opens the door for a woman, she should take it as a compliment as opposed to some trivial meaning behind it.

I see women as beautiful beings! I mean, God did His thing when He created them, so for a woman to be treated as anything less puzzles me. Unfortunately, some men make it their mission to use women as punching bags, human property and as "breeders". So, to an extent I can see why some women refuse to accept an open door, a paid for meal, or even a simple compliment from men.

However, there are still gentlemen in the world and some woman just need to take it slow, before shredding a brother to bits! I can understand a hurt heart, so your guard is up considerably, but if you ever desire that feeling that you ultimately want, something has to give; hopefully, it won't be a women's heart! I make no apologies for my gender, because I too have made my share of mistakes, and for whatever reason, I haven't taken out a particular woman's shortcomings out on the whole gender!

Just think back to Destiny's child growth! Initially, it was bills, bills, bills, "I'm a survivor", independent woman, soldier, and then cater to you! What is it! While I think at one point in a woman's life, any of the previously mentioned titles might apply; a man needs some support to understand which it is!

Ladies, while I love you to death, a brother just needs some clarity! At least give me the 5 W's! Who, what, when, where and why! Give a brother those and he should make it his business to figure out the how!

My Christmas List!


Xbox 360
Yeah, I haven't played video games in a minute, but this new Xbox has me a little excited. Just maybe I can play a couple of games and still be an adult, without losing my mind!


Pistons go undefeated for the rest of the season!
It could happen! I mean, it's the Pistons!


Santa puts coal in my Director's stocking.
I swear she's tripolar!


I get to see Ms. Claus, okay not her, just the outfit attached to someone attainable!
C'mon I know some of you women love to put that suit on! I mean, some of you women are just show-offs anyways! Hey, do ya thang, cuz I don't mind!




Socks!
Hey, no man should go this Christmas without a new six-pack of socks! The ankle socks, if you get the tube socks it don't count!

2005 in review

Hurricanes In The Gulf Region
The official death toll now stands at 1,383, the third highest in US history (behind the Galveston Hurricane of 1900 and the Okeechobee Hurricane of 1928). 6,644 others remain unaccounted for, with 1,300 of them "feared dead". If all 1,300 of these were to be confirmed dead, Katrina would surpass the Okeechobee Hurricane and become the second-deadliest in US history and deadliest in over a century. The damage is estimated to be from $100 to $200 billion [2], at least double from previously most expensive Hurricane Andrew making Katrina the most expensive natural disaster in U.S. history. Over a million people were displaced — a humanitarian crisis on a scale unseen in the U.S. since the Great Depression.

In Louisiana, the hurricane's eye made landfall at 6:10am CDT on Monday,
August 29. After 11:00 am CDT, several sections of the levee system in New Orleans collapsed. By early September, people were being forcibly evacuated, mostly by bus to neighboring states.

Troops Continue to die in Irag
In fact, 18 months after President Bush announced the end of major combat operations in Iraq, and after repeated claims of progress that later proved wildly optimistic, U.S. troops find themselves in some of the bloodiest fighting of the war, with more than 130 American soldiers dying just last month.

The death of an icon: Rosa Parks
Rosa Parks, whose act of civil disobedience in 1955 inspired the modern civil rights movement, died Monday in Detroit, Michigan. She was 92. Parks' moment in history began in December 1955 when she refused to give up her seat on a bus to a white man in Montgomery, Alabama. Her arrest triggered a 381-day boycott of the bus system by blacks that was organized by a 26-year-old Baptist minister, the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.

Gas prices still high
Despite the fact that the price for a barrel of oil has steadily decreased, the gas prices remain on the higher side!

Michael Jackson acquitted
They said he did it! He said he didn’t! The jury said they didn’t prove it. He said, I aint never coming back to this retarded ass country!

Damn it, I'm getting it this year!





I know I wasn't the only one who was deprived of that special gift at Christmas time! Growing up I always managed to be on Santa's good list during the year, but Christmas after Christmas, I kept getting crappy gifts! Sure, I always wore the Superman/Spiderman or car/truck underwear that mom or auntie gave me! Yeah, it was handy, but c'mon! Where was the surprise? Where was the reward for behaving so good throughout the entire year? Like when the Transformers were popular and I just loved the show...where in the hell was my Optimus Prime toy! Was it too much to ask for? The deal between parents and kids was already established...and quite simple! Behave in school, get good grades, don't curse and help out...and you would be rewarded, right! That was the deal and time after time, I fulfilled my part, so please explain to me what the hell was I going to do with a board game that I got two Christmas ago and had not played with since two weeks after getting it!

So this year, I'm getting what I want!
Okay, so what if it was when I was eight, ten, twelve...so what!!

I'm gettin'em and you can't stop me!

1. Atari 2600, Colecovision, Nintendo or Super Nintendo!

Ya know it was no fun always having to go to someone else’s house to play video games and be told it was time to leave right at the best part! I wanted to shoot the birds on Duck Hunt too!


2. G.I. Joe - Snake Eyes
Yeah, Snake Eyes was the coolest of all of the G.I Joe characters...and he never said a word!

3. Etch-A-Sketch
The old one, not the new one with the sweet frame! I want the one that was truly simple and really took you months to make something worth looking at, only to have it magically erased by someone loving relative!

4. Transformer- Optimus Prime
The real ones! Not these Beast Wars crap, that make kids confused for two years only to learn there was a recall put out on that toy!


5. Thundercats- All of'em with there accessories,"Thundercats, Thundercats..hooooo"
I think I can get these pretty cheap if I can find them. Can you say "Ebay”?

6. Comic Books- I want some old ones! I don't even care what it is, just something that's old! Just maybe my reading level would have improved with a book family!

7. Remote Control Car- year after year I craved for one of these! I don't mean the one from the Dollar Store, but a quality one! One that didn't break when it ran over Barbie! A nice sturdy one!

yeaaahhhh baby!

Take this shyt back:

1. Lite-Brite.....I'm a boy you ass!! If it didn't come attached to some cool construction hat, then don't give that shyt to me! You know like R. Kelly in that Honey Love video!!

2. Sweaters- WTF is the fascination with parents buying ugly sweaters and forcing kids to put'em on! And it's not like they were just ugly from a kid’s perspective, other parents were saying, "That's what you get for being bad"

3. Easy-Bake oven----again, I'm a boy, were you trying to give me sexual complex issues! Hell, that oven wasn't even good for making mud pies! Just ask your sister and she still can't cook!

4. Lego's- Look if you weren't getting me at least a 1000 piece set of Lego's, what the hell did you think I was going to make! One box of Lego's just ended up with a windowless house, the shyt just didn't work and the pieces just ended up in the Easy-Bake oven anyway with the Lite-Brite pieces.

5. Army men pieces- I wasn't trying to plan a full-scale attack on the school bully, so what the fuck was the motionless green plastic army men for? See if you gave me enough Lego's then I could have built a real fortress, artillery post, airplanes, and bombs...instead, these army men became chewing toys for the dog!

6. Ken Doll- Again with the confusion of sexual orientation! Why would a little boy play with a male Barbie Doll! Get that shyt out of there! I had game at seven, so I didn't need Ken to help me out with the girls, hell his own girl was confused...and she still is confused to this day! By the way, where the hell is Ken at now! Bet ya never heard about the divorce, but Ken just magically disappeared! (I think she left him for a Surfer Dude) No wonder why Barbie started working so much!


So Santa that's my list...and if I get some coal, I'm puttin you on my "Oh, I'm a fuck you up" list along with D4L, Wife Swap, T.O, Ron Artest, Maury Povich, that "My Hump" song, and the Detroit Lions!!


Until Next time...

I know where the kids are, I just can't find the Village!


Bang, Bang! As sudden as those sounds are heard, lives are taken! No, these are not sounds delivered by police officers in some random shoot-out on Detroit streets. These are not sounds of the latest video game! These are the sounds that tear families apart; sounds that kill unclear dreams; sounds that we've grown accustomed to in our neighborhoods; sounds that the media won’t let us forget, and shouldn’t!

Over the past week numerous shootings have taken place in our Public School system. It is kind of an eerie feeling, considering I’m no longer in that system, yet very much a product of that very system and some of the same things are still happening to this day! Students committed the shootings against other students! Whatever the reason behind the conflict it can’t account for the need to senselessly seriously injure someone or take that person’s life. As I try to buy into the notion that “The children are our future”, I’m somehow at a loss when our children decide to kill their own future by such careless acts.

As if the city of Detroit doesn’t have enough things on its plate, now we must once again, look into matters. As I was leaving high school the administrators were just beginning to place metal detectors in the schools, so I never had the feeling of being unsafe! They began to increase security by supplying schools with more Public Safety Officers. Apparently none of these things seem to be enough to stop a group or an individual that wants to harm someone else. A walk to or from school has become a greater struggle with predators attempting to harm our young ladies. Our school system is already struggling with academics, while excelling at athletics. For these children, our future, to have to endure so much just on their journeys to and from their learning institutions, it is a wonder why we are not behind even further when compared to other school districts.

With all the things that make raising children a challenge else where, Detroit has a seemingly equal if not more difficult task. Yet, as shown by some of the Public Schools successes, all is not lost! However, we appear to be too far removed from reality and have become to apathetic to truly understand and accept the challenge placed before us as a community. Yeah, I’m thankful for those activists that fight the good fight and remind us that there is far much more that needs to be done! I’m thankful for those students who at time put the adults in their places, by letting us know that all is not lost! That all kids are not bad so we can give credit when credit is do; and to those who fall short, so they can remind us, that we’re not as good as we think we are. The all to familiar saying goes, “It take a whole village to raise a child”, and I guess I’m still waiting for the village to take action instead of sitting on our hands!

As hard as it may seem to outsiders, Detroiters would love to have a school system that it can be proud of. We would love to send our sons and daughters to a school that educates more than it police’s! We would love to have a system that utilized the financial and non-financial resources with a sense of knowledge and understanding. Today, Detroit is struggling with the recent violence in our schools, but if we only take notice now, then we fail our future, our children.

Maybe today will be brighter than my wishes
Cuz yesterday I thought I’d die,
As I contemplated suicide in the kitchen
Crying over broken dishes
Hoping the tears didn’t mean I could finally come clean
And let it all out as the water began to overflow
It only took eleven months for me to let her go

Today, I’m pain free
and I believe
Despite my circumstance
Love still has a chance

Squandered moments in times of confusion
Reminds me why I exited that happy illusion
I tried to be the only man that I knew
But as you lied to me I cried for you
Maybe I should have seen it sooner,
ya know the deception
but I guess all your flaws were for my protection

I haven’t given up,
Nope, no time soon
In spite of you, I’ve grown
And my heart is beginning to bloom
Nah, love aint what it use to be
It’ll be better, because love won't choose me
So patiently I’ll wait my time
No more howling at the moon, as I rise with the sunshine

Today, I’m pain free
and I believe
Despite my circumstance
Love still has a chance

I do…uh, sometimes…I guess!




"What makes a man or woman marriage material?"

I have a decent amount of male friends, and of those the majority are either married or have been married! In some ways, I’m similar to my friends as far as my actions or my thoughts, but we are still different in tons of ways too! It’s kind of scary looking at those relationships and seeing how their marriages have turned into divorce or a permanent separation. I say permanent separation because neither side seems intent on getting a legal divorce!

Growing up I had this idea of marriage and all the positives that would come from it, such as the his and hers towels, the his and hers cars, and especially the love that I would share with my wife; however, looking at my friends situations has seemed to taint my desire to ever get married! Yeah, I know every person is different and every marriage has its unique problems, but I still have this weird doubting feeling on marriage!

Honestly speaking, I’m not worried about cheating on my wife, because I have enough integrity to give her my all! It’s something else that I just can’t put my finger on that leaves me one step away from being married, and at this point is lack of girlfriend but that’s not really an issue! I guess I’m searching for that girl that actually has my back! Looking at my friends relationships, makes me questions their wives ability to be supportive! Then I look again, and say “What the hell does she see in this ass”! Hey, I’m just keeping it real, because for the most part my friends didn’t attempt to stop cheating until they got married, as if there was an on and off switch!! I can’t speak on their wives level of commitment, but I have my doubts with them as well!

I'm a romantic at heart! Yeah, eventualy I want the white picket fence, the dog, the sexy yet intelligent wife and the little brats, but right now I don't know if I'll ever get the wife part! Playing boyfriend and girlfriend gets old, when you get grown!

Hopefully I can walk in my house and feel like Al Bundy one day...hey, you know he loves the hell out of Peg...besides Peg was sexy! Hey, if Al can do it, maybe there's hope after all!!

Anyhow, the questions become:

1. When should people get married?


  • When you have your own house!
  • When you know that you are truly in love!
    (yeah, love doesn't pay the bills, but I be damn if it doesn't make for a lasting relationship...last time I checked marrying for money, meant you could afford to cheat)
  • When they have big enough balls or ovaries to tell their parents, despite the known support!!
  • When graduation doesn't mean you just cleared the way to go up for parole!


2. What makes a good wife/husband?
Communication is key! Not merely communication that leads to sex, but when you're actually away from the bed, desk, kitchen counter or secret spot that little Johnny knows about but likes to watch!! If you can't express yourself to your mate, then you probably shouldn't take that leap of faith!

3. Should there be “traditional” roles in marriages?


  • Dizzy says: I am the man of my house whether I make millions or peanuts! I shall protect my wife and family with my all! I will treat my wife with the respect that she deserves! She will supply my needs on a regular basis! She shall keep a decent looking hair-do! She will have a spontaneous side for the riske'!! In return, I will provide for her to the best of my ability, and if being a hard working average salary making husband doesn't cut it...then I suggest she get to steppin, before marriage!! I will take out the trash, cut the grass, wax that ass, tell her that I love her, and occassionally surpise her with gifts (flowers, cards, dinner, sex..ya get the point)


4. How can you tell if your potential spouse is down for you?


  • If she hides you from the family...get ta steppin'
  • If she hides you from the police after killing the mother in law...she's a keeper!!
  • If she always want you to order from the drive through...I suggest you trade her in!
  • If he says, "I just enjoy the late night movie times better than any other times!!" or "I'm the only living memeber of my family left"...time to make his ass truly lonely!!


5. When do you give up on a marriage?
  • If all your communication starts off with "Bitch you bet not", "Muthafucka, you aint even a man", or "I'm gone get #@$$@# to fuck you up!" Time for talking is over, it's time to get a restraining order and a Lawyer!
  • If you find yourself on the Jerry Springer show as the surprise guest!

  • If you can listen to all of R. Kelly's "Trapped in the Closet" and can relate to any chapter...time to pack up the suit case and find a better CD!!


Marriages, ya gotta love'em!!

Until next time...
