Am I A Thief? Asking For A Friend
I’ve taken to bringing my lunch to work. It’s cheaper than hitting up any of the various high-priced sandwich shops in my immediate vicinity. On some mornings, I’ll stop by a local grocer and go pick up some Campbell’s microwavable soup thing, spend 8 bucks and get enough for the week. I’m a creature of…

Thanks, Obama.
While perusing Facebook a few days ago, I came across this tweet for President Barack Hussein Obama’s last State of The Union (SOTU) address on Tuesday, January 12. Typically, I couldn’t care less about those speeches; it’s an annual event where every sitting President lays out his “guys, I’d really like to do some things” priorities…

Dear VH1, The Breaks Was Dope, But You Played Me.
Last night, VH1 finally premiered The Breaks, a “movie” they’ve been promoting for the better part of the past two months. Why did I put “movie” in quotes? I’ll tell you why. It’s because VH1 is rude as fuck and played my life, b. Let’s start at the beginning: The Breaks is a “movie” based…

Survey Says…Steve Fucked Up. But It Is and Isn't His Fault. (It's His Fault.)
Being live is a bitch. Just ask Steve Harvey who managed to fuck up the most important part of the Miss Universe pageant that I’m fairly certain the vast majority of us had no clue was happening. Actually, that’s not true. After every move on Words With Friends, an ad for the show would pop…

Am I Too Old For My First Tattoo?
I don’t have any tattoos. It’s not for lack of want either. For the longest, I’ve wanted to get a sleeve. I feel like I would look cool with my entire left arm tatted up. I have ideas of tats that I want and where I’d place them. I’m a tat-dreamer. There’s the “inshallah” tat…

I Don't Want My Son To Play Football.
The movie Concussion, starring Will Smith and his odd African accent, opens on Christmas Day this year. It’s a movie about a forensic pathologist, Dr. Bennett Omalu, who came to odds with the National Football League (NFL) over his research and study into chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), which can be the end result of one…
