And the award for best Super Bowl campaign goes to Doritos! It was a pleasure to watch their ads amongst the confusing nonsense of “Go Green”, GoDaddy yawn ads and the pathetic chicken commercials of Denny’s (seriously millions of dollars in Ad space just to move a friggin grand slam meal?) The Doritos and Bud Light ads were the only ones worth paying attention to outside of Megan Fox bathing… and the one that garnered the most laughter had to be the baby bitch slapping his mother’s boyfriend. I lolled and you will too, which goes to show that 1. Babies are always funny and 2. People getting bitch slapped is always funny on film. The next funny one was probably the new (not as cute as the older) E-Trade baby scamming on his girl with another. Still the Super Bowl as a whole was boring, the halftime show featured  safe, old people and ads were crap. Here are a few of... [Read more]

So I’m on my way home from work when I realized that my hunger was getting the better of me, so Fast Food was in order. Pulling into the nearest McDonalds in my navy blue BMW, I order my meal and pulled up to the window to pay the tab for the insta-fat meal. Looking inside I noticed a blonde with a nice ass and a banging body. Being the player that I am, I already figured her to be “rough around the edges” but sexy enough to get down with… at least that’s what I thought. As I begin to sign the receipt for my meal, I noticed that she is hanging halfway out of the window using her arms to support her. Broads do this when they either want to check you out, want you to check them out, OR want to check the car you’re driving.  I call this pose the McDonalds Chicken Head Personal Interest Stance, it is an indicator that game is bout to be spit, and if you’re feeling her, heads... [Read more]

As I peruse many blogs daily on the internet there seems to be a very popular theme with marriage and why men won’t commit. The argument is largely one-sided as it is mostly women chiming in on it and hardly men. If you were to go on these blogs and take the testimonies and the feedback from their female commenters, you would think that most men are immature, clueless, or just plain stupid. The reason for this is there doesn’t seem to be much self-reflection from these women when it comes to why their 5+ year relationship hasn’t resulted in a proposal from the guy. While an extremely complex situation, what a lot of women don’t understand is that many times there are underlying issues why you as a great girlfriend is not guaranteed to be a potential wife. 1. You’re already a wife without paperwork Many women assume that because a guy is of a certain age,... [Read more]

Probably the first Western, black mega-star, Josephine Baker was literally larger than life. Few if any women could move like her when it came to dancing and her perseverance trail-blazed a path that many women of color could follow in years after her death. Due to the United State being a racist environment of stagnancy for a future actress/singer, Josephine Baker fled to France in order to let her star shine. During the days of immense hardship for women like Josephine, France was a source of refuge for celebrities of color. Given the nickname of “Bronze Venus” by admirers worldwide, Josephine’s voice and dancing made her beloved to her French countrymen and eventually she revisited the United States as a star. Later on in life as an older woman, Josephine Baker was a fighter for Civil Rights, turning down the honor of leading the movement after the passing of Martin... [Read more]

It is one thing to show super-human aptitude for a country that loves you, but to do so for a country that deems you to be sub-human – to the point that they withhold honors earned in the line of duty is beyond belief. When you watch movies depicting D.Day (Normandy), the Allied attacks on the Nazi surge, and anything dealing with the 1940’s militarily, it is easy to forget that black people existed, let alone fought. It being very much a white man’s world during these times, blacks were kept out of books and camera view, especially when films were being made to record the military. Now think about how bad it must’ve been during World War I for African Americans who served in the Army. This sad fact led to men like Sergeant Henry Lincoln Johnson being overlooked and ignored, even when taking 21 injuries from an army of German soldiers as he fought (with a bolo knife) to protect... [Read more]

Now, if it’s one thing that you learn early on in business, it’s that there are people that walk the walk and those that talk the talk. The talkers are many and the walkers are few and far between. Mostly, what you get is a ton of wannabes and posers. Now, these wannabes and posers, they will congregate, make themselves feel good, and share ideas that hardly ever go anywhere. A lot of these ideas are very unoriginal or aren’t very good. I like to use an analogy for them, I call them spinning tops, if you’ve ever seen a top when you pull it’s string, it’ll set in and spin, and spin, and spin. You could pull the string harder or faster but the most it’ll do is just spin faster without really going anywhere. Now, if you manage to tip that top over, it’ll actually gain some velocity and start moving. This is what a lot of these so-called business... [Read more]

The cycle of the love affair with a married man almost always ends in broken hearts, hurt, and wasted time. Sure you have those once in a million times where the man actually leaves his wife for another, but for the most part, it is a script for adultery disaster.  The love affair with the married man starts with a man who married for the wrong reasons and thus never truly felt fulfilled in his commitment to the wife.  They probably have kids together and that is the only bond they share.  The ideal woman for this guy is the girl who has been hurt many times by single men and is in the stage where she just wants someone to love her.  After they meet and exchange conversation, he realizes what he has been missing at home and decides to pursue his happiness with her on the side. He wants to fill a void. However, filling the void may backfire on him, as the relationship may escalate from... [Read more]

Brick and Fire (f/k/a Brick and Fire Pizza and Wine Company) 1621 South Orange Ave Orlando, FL  32806 www.brickandfire.com www.facebook.com/brickandfire Having followed the owner, Chef Mark Dollard, from the original location at Church Street Station in downtown Orlando, I thought I knew exactly what to expect from the new location on Orange Avenue.  Still located downtown, but not quite in the heart where it once was, Brick and Fire continues to be a hotspot for both date night and family night.  Upon arrival you will be greeted with a smile, and have the opportunity to watch Chef Mark and his assistants make the famous pizza from start to finish through a glass wall.  This is especially helpful when you are accompanied by hungry children who may otherwise pitch a fit when waiting for a table. On my visit, the staff was very attentive and friendly which was amazing considering... [Read more]

So Axe has always been great at playing up to the inner perv in us all with their commercials involving chicks ripping off clothes, giving it up in libraries and licking chocolate men on trains (I can sooooo get down with this) -- but this time around, I think they have outdone themselves. Presenting the Axe Ball Cleaner with actress Jaime Pressly (a certified lady Dragon) as tennis champ Monica Blake -- demonstrating the product quite effectively. The funniest part of the ad has to be when hostess Denese Saintclaire begins playing with a pair of golfballs… you just have to see it. Good job Axe, I even remember the product you are really selling AFTER seeing the ad, so it works! Hell I’ll probably pick it up next time I’m out shopping., just in case it comes with a Jaime Pressly to scrub the… nevermind, I gotta go cool off. Peace!  Read More →
