Men: DON'T CHEAT!

Wow..was this really worth it. He had a beautiful wife at home and four children. He had a successful career in a sport that he loved. But, that wasn't enough...he had to also have a 20 year old woman on the side. Bottom line is unless you have done an extensive criminal back ground check, a full clinical psychological evaluation, and a complete blood work up on this person that you are willing to risk your life for....then maybe you should reconsider the what if's. What if I get caught? Do I really want my marriage to be over? What if she infects me with something? How am I going to tell my wife? What if she tells my wife? If my wife leaves me do I really want to be with this other woman? What if She IS CRAZY????? Hello..this should be the first question you need to ask yourself? What if she harms me, my wife or my kids? Yeah, if she's crazy she just might.

Women: THEY NEVER LEAVE THEIR WIVES!

How many times have we heard this scenario. Man sees woman at a bar. Man is good looking. Man is married. Woman is young. Woman is intrigued. Man flirts with woman. Woman flirts back. Woman knows man is married. Woman sleeps with him anyway. Man promises woman he'll leave his wife. Woman believes man. Man never leaves his wife. Woman fucks up her life.

Married men never leave their wives unless their wife finds out and makes their asses leave!

Why entertain the idea. Do you think so little of yourself that you are willing to share a man? You get to be his beck and CALL GIRL. You get to spend all of your holidays alone knowing that he is somewhere enjoying the holidays with his wife and kids. You get to hide and sneak around in the shadows of restaurants and hotel rooms. While his wife is proudly paraded in public. Yeah, he takes you on trips and buys you nice things. Every now and then he may throw cash your way. But at the end of the day you are just his little piece on the side. His wife really holds the cards. All you get to hold is his d!ck.

What is wrong with this picture?

Did Barnes and Noble mean for this to be a joke?
I missed the ha..ha..moment. I guess you would literally have to be a MORON to get it.
What do you think?

IGNORANCE IS NOT AN EXCUSE!

This is a letter to the Editor of the New York Post who printed this offensive illustration.

Dear Editor:I'm trying to understand what possible motivation you may have had for publishing that vile cartoon depicting the shooting of the chimpanzee that went crazy. I guess you thought it would be funny to suggest that whomever was responsible for writing the Economic Recovery legislation must have the intelligence and judgment of a deranged, violent chimpanzee, and should be shot to protect the larger community. Really? Did it occur to you that this suggestion would imply a connection between President Barack Obama and the deranged chimpanzee? Did it occur to you that our President has been receiving death threats since early in his candidacy? Did it occur to you that blacks have historically been compared to various apes as a way of racist insult and mockery? Did you intend to invoke these painful themes when you printed the cartoon? If that's not what you intended, then it was stupid and willfully ignorant of you not to connect these easily connectable dots. If it is what you intended, then you obviously wanted to be grossly provocative, racist and offensive to the sensibilities of most reasonable Americans. Either way, you should not have printed this cartoon, and the fact that you did is truly reprehensible. I can't imagine what possible justification you have for this. I've read your lame statement in response to the outrage you provoked. Shame on you for dodging the real issue and then using the letter as an opportunity to attack Rev. Sharpton. This is not about Rev. Sharpton. It's about the cartoon being blatantly racist and offensive.I believe in freedom of speech, and you have every right to print what you want. But freedom of speech still comes with responsibilities and consequences. You are responsible for printing this cartoon, and I hope you experience some real consequences for it. I'm personally boycotting your paper and won't do any interviews with any of your reporters, and I encourage all of my colleagues in the entertainment business to do so as well. I implore your advertisers to seriously reconsider their business relationships with you as well.You should print an apology in your paper acknowledging that this cartoon was ignorant, offensive and racist and should not have been printed.I'm well aware of our country's history of racism and violence, but I truly believe we are better than this filth. As we attempt to rise above our difficult past and look toward a better future, we don't need the New York Post to resurrect the images of Jim Crow to deride the new administration and put black folks in our place. Please feel free to criticize and honestly evaluate our new President, but do so without the incendiary images and rhetoric.Sincerely,John Legend

NO MORE EXCUSES!

Some of us don't recognize our potential. We live a life of "I can'ts" and "But I don't have's" and "I don't know how to's". We allow our fear of the unknown paralyze us from even trying.

Certainly, there are some things we just can't do, but we shouldn't dwell on our limitations. We need to concentrate on the gifts and abilities we do have. Look at Barack Obama. If this man let the fear of the unknown paralyze him he would never have had the courage to run for the highest office. There has NEVER been a Black President of the United States. I'm sure he had people snickering behind his back; waiting for the rug to be pulled out from under him.( Yeah..this N*&&er has some nerve thinking he could ever become President of the United States...blah..blah..blah..) He didn't let them stop him. He stepped out on faith, stayed focused and changed the minds of millions of people everywhere. He believed he was the right man for the job. Most importantly, he made us believe it too. God gave him the gift to lead, to empower, and to inspire others. His campaign slogan "Yes We Can" swept over our nation like rain during a drought and empowered us all to believe that we matter..we ALL can make a difference. Thanks to President Barack Obama "You can be anything you want to be if you put your mind to it" is no longer a catchy buzz phrase used to motivate some and to alienate others but a true statement for us all. We all have a responsibility to follow his lead. We owe it to ourselves to put our gifts to work! Think about this... If you could choose whatever you wanted to do for a living, what would you do? Why aren't you doing it? Don't let fear paralyze you from finding your true potential!

The Perfect Proposal

Did you know that Christmas and New Year's Eve are the top dates that people get engaged?

I would have thought Valentine's Day would have been #1. I guess Valentine's Day is so overly commercialized as a day for lover's that the proposal itself would fall flat. Gone are the days of traditional proposals. Many men are going all out to make their proposal the ultimate grand gesture. I got an e-mail last year of a man who rented out several rooms in the Ritz Carlton and had all of their family and friends involved in the proposal. It was absolutely beautiful!

Many entrepreneurs are taking advantage of the trend by setting up businesses that offer assistance with intricate proposals. The mission of Go Get It!, in New York, is "to create one-of-a-kind proposals that make your loved one feel like the most important person in the world," according to its Web site. Samantha von Sperling, of Polished Social Image Consultants, also in New York, helps well-heeled clients orchestrate proposals that involve flights to Paris, rooms at the Ritz, and rings from Cartier (her services include providing the proposer with breath strips and special lotion to de-sweat palms). But she doesn’t feel the price tag tells the whole story. No matter what the cost, she says, "the proposal is the only area, from the first date to the wedding, where the man is in total control — it’s his moment."

When my husband proposed to me 9 years ago it wasn't exactly a grand gesture. There was no crowded restaurant or walk on the beach, no helicopter ride with will you marry me in the sand, no hot air balloon ride or empire state building. It was just he and I in my condo. I can still remember the look of love in his eyes when he asked me. It was perfect.

So, how did you/he propose ? Or if you haven't been proposed to yet...how would you like it to be?

The Era of the Professional Spare Changer

Every week that I go to this particular store there is this man holding a sign begging for spare change. The first time I saw him there, I gave him a couple of dollars that I had. The second time I saw him there I didn't feel compelled to give. The reason for this is that as I passed the man and shook my head no I saw a "HELP WANTED" sign in the window of the store. This picture does not add up. This man is out here begging for spare change and this store needs someone to help. The equation seemed simple enough but was it really? When I came out of the store the man was still there. I asked him did he see the "HELP WANTED" sign on the store window. He said yeah. So...you don't want to apply for the job? I asked him. He told me that he wasn't interested. What the hell? I had to laugh a little at that. He said that the store only pays $4.75 an hour and he makes almost 200.00 a day just standing out here asking for spare change. He told me that to work in the store would be a waste of his time. Wow! Economically speaking he is right. So, what we are talking about in this situation is a person who is a professional Spare Changer. This is his job to beg people for spare change. In this man's situation he is not even homeless. He drives a car and has an apartment nearby the store. He said if I ask for .50 cents some people will give me exactly that. But, most people will just give me a dollar. Clearly, he has thought this out. He revealed, holiday season is when he makes the most money because people are in a happy, giving mood. Last Christmas season he made $3,000 in just two weeks. At this point, I'm like dude...do you have an extra cup?
