    For those of y’all who don’t know, let me tell you a lil something about me: I’ve been dancing pretty much all my life. All of my baby videos are of me trying to get my groove on. I’m 60% sure that I was two stepping in the womb. As soon as I got old…

  • 10 Things The NFL Cares Even Less About Than It Cares About Women

    After giving star running back Ray Rice a paltry two game suspension for punching his then-fiancee (now wife) unconscious and dragging her body through the hotel they were staying at — an act caught on film — the NFL has proven again that it gives less than two fucks about the demographic that comprises over…

  • What Did We Learn From Robin Thicke?

    I promise you, I did not want to write about Robin Thicke and Paula Patton. My man Alex already gave Robin that work on here.

  • When Creatives Collide: Run You.

    Writers tend to find inspiration in a variety of sources. Hell, I believe this is true for all creators. The venues in which I call my muses are infinite in that I really do view any and everything as a potential story to tell. From an exchange between commuters that I witnessed on the train…

    Whether you love or hate my literary canon balls, they contribute to the overall canon of literacy. There are canons both to the left and right of them. You can hear the volley and thunder.
